San Joaquin County Community Diesel Engine Emission Control Technologies <br /> — Development Department <br /> Concentration Value. Any ash with zinc levels above these limits is considered a <br /> hazardous waste and should be handled accordingly. <br /> Determination of Hazardous Waste <br /> Applicable hazardous waste laws are found in the California Health and Safety <br /> Code,Division 20; California Code of Regulations,Title 22,Division 4.5; and <br /> Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Staff recommends requiring <br /> manufacturers to notify consumers if a waste stream from their product is known <br /> to be a hazardous waste. <br /> Since actions of the end user can influence the composition of ash and other <br /> waste streams,it is also the responsibility of the owner/operator/maintenance <br /> provider of the engine using the diesel emission control system to determine if <br /> .. the waste stream is classified as hazardous according to Section 66261.3,Title 22 <br /> of the California Code of Regulations. If a waste stream is determined to be <br /> hazardous, the hazardous waste generator(as defined in 22 CCR, § 66262.10) <br /> _ must comply with all appropriate County, State and Federal Regulations. This <br /> can include application for state and/or federal generator identification numbers, <br /> proper handling, storage and management of the hazardous waste stream, and <br /> proper disposal and treatment of the hazardous waste stream. <br /> Excluded Recyclable Material <br /> Section 25143.2 of the Health and Safety Code allows for wastes that can be <br /> reused or recycled to be treated accordingly. This option might be open to some <br /> waste streams,especially those containing precious metals and/or other <br /> reclaimable components. <br /> Fuel Additives <br /> Fuel additives are essentially any substance added to the fuel. Additives can <br /> reduce the total mass of PM,with variable effects on CO,NOx and HC <br /> production. Use of some additives alone shows 15 percent to 50 percent mass <br /> reductions in PM. The reduction can be as high as 99 percent when used with a <br /> DPF. Some additive-based systems reduce polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons <br /> by around 80 percent. Additives can range from less than 10 parts per million <br /> (ppm)to greater than 100 ppm in the fuel. Additives can significantly decrease <br /> soot combustion temperatures facilitating DPF regeneration. Mixed data exist <br /> regarding fuel economy. Some studies show a fuel economy improvement <br /> ranging from five to seven percent,while others show an equivalent fuel penalty. <br /> Most additives are fairly insensitive to fuel sulfur content and will work with a <br /> range of sulfur concentrations as well as different fuels and other fuel additives <br /> (HEI,Attachment A, DieselNet 2000.02b, Mayer 1999). <br /> DeSilva Gates Quarry Project <br /> Draft Environmental Impact Report L-5 <br /> AS 05105.05 <br />
