5.14 Waste Management <br /> This section evaluates the potential effects on human health and the environment from <br /> nonhazardous and hazardous waste generated at the Lodi Energy Center (LEC). <br /> Section 5.14.1 describes project site investigations and the waste and waste streams that <br /> would be generated by the project. Section 5.14.2 presents an environmental analysis of the <br /> project in terms of waste and waste disposal sites.Section 5.14.3 discusses potential <br /> cumulative effects.Section 5.14.4 describes mitigation measures. Section 5.14.5 presents <br /> laws, ordinances,regulations and standards (LORS) that apply to the generated waste. <br /> Section 5.14.6 describes agencies that have jurisdiction over the generated waste and agency <br /> contacts. Section 5.14.7 describes the permits required for generated waste and a schedule <br /> for obtaining those permits,and Section 5.14.8 provides the references used to prepare this <br /> section. <br /> 5.14.1 Affected Environment <br /> This section discusses the condition of the LEC site,in terms of the potential need to remove <br /> or otherwise treat contaminated soil or groundwater at the site, and discusses the various <br /> nonhazardous and hazardous waste streams for LEC construction and operation. <br /> 5.14.1.1 Site Investigations <br /> A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was undertaken at the LEC site to determine <br /> whether contamination that would require removal or remediation is present. <br /> In June 2008, Carlton Engineering, Inc. (Carlton) conducted a Phase I environmental site <br /> assessment (ESA) of the proposed LEC site for the Northern California Power Agency. The <br /> site consists of one parcel (approximately 2.6 acres) west of Interstate 5,approximately <br /> 1.5 miles south of the intersection with State Highway 12. The site is described as a portion <br /> of San Joaquin County Assessor's Parcel Number 055-130-16, and a part of the property <br /> addressed as 12751 North Thornton Road, Lodi, California. It is west of the City of Lodi s <br /> White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF),within the city limits of Lodi,in San <br /> Joaquin County,California (Carlton,2008). <br /> At the time of the Phase I ESA,the LEC site was partially developed with paved surfaces, <br /> gas compressor, and cooling towers and the remainder of the site was undeveloped. The site <br /> was structurally undeveloped prior to the early 1990s and was used for agricultural <br /> purposes before that time (Carlton,2008). Carlton found no evidence of existing or past <br /> recognized environmental conditions at the site. The Phase I ESA concluded that the <br /> likelihood of contamination at the site is low;however,the following conditions and <br /> recommendations regarding the potential for environmental concern at the site were noted: <br /> • Construction materials supporting the adjoining WPCF improvement projects have been <br /> stored on the LEC site. Two automotive batteries were observed among the construction <br /> materials.The batteries should be removed to an approved disposal or recycling facility. <br /> The drums of curing compound and buckets of lubricating compound,along with the <br /> other construction materials should be removed from the site. <br /> SAC/371322/082330007(LEC_5.14_WASTE MANAGEMENT.DOC) 5.14-1 <br />
