5.14 WASTE MANAGEMENT <br /> transfer trucks carrying loads of up to 20 tons per truck. During 2004,Lovelace MRF <br /> received 179,734 tons of waste. <br /> According to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB),North County <br /> Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill has a maximum permitted capacity of 17.3 million <br /> cubic yards of refuse and the estimated remaining capacity as of September 1,2004 was <br /> 17.6 million cubic yards,with the opening of the new module. According to the CIWMB, <br /> there was one violation against the North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill in <br /> the last 12 months. The violation was reported for dust control on a March 21,2008 <br /> inspection and no enforcement actions were reported (CIWMB,2008a). <br /> Adequate landfill capacity exists;therefore, disposal of solid nonhazardous waste will not <br /> be a constraint on LEC development. <br /> 5.14.2.3.2 Hazardous Waste <br /> Hazardous waste generated at the LEC facility will be stored at the facility for less than <br /> 90 days. The waste will then be transported to a TSD facility by a permitted hazardous <br /> waste transporter. These facilities vary considerably in what they can do with the hazardous <br /> waste they receive. Some can only store waste, some can treat the waste to recover usable <br /> products, and others can dispose of the waste by incineration, deep-well injection, or <br /> landfilling. However,incineration and deep-well injection of these materials are not <br /> permitted in California. <br /> According to DTSC, there are 61 facilities in California that can accept hazardous waste for <br /> treatment and recycling (DTSC, 2008b). For ultimate disposal, California has the three <br /> hazardous waste (Class I) landfills (described below). The closest commercial hazardous <br /> waste disposal facility is the Waste Management Kettleman Hills Landfill. <br /> Waste Management Kettleman Hills Landfill <br /> This facility accepts Class I and II waste. Currently the landfill,identified as B-18 Landfill,is <br /> permitted for and will accept all hazardous wastes except radioactive,medical, and <br /> unexploded ordnance;this landfill has permitted capacity of 10 million cubic yards with a <br /> remaining capacity of approximately 2.6 million cubic yards as of June 2007(Luibel,2007). <br /> The life expectancy remaining for Landfill B-18 is about 3 years;however,expansion of the <br /> facility is anticipated (Luibel,2007). Expansion of the facility would change the closure date <br /> to 2036 (Yarbrough,2005). <br /> Clean Harbors Buttonwillow Landfill <br /> This landfill is permitted at 14.3 million cubic yards (CIWMB,2008a and Buoni,2007) and <br /> has approximately 9.2 million cubic yards of remaining capacity as of February 2006 <br /> (Buoni,2007). At the current deposit rate,the landfill is permitted to accept waste until 2040 <br /> (CIWMB,2008a). Buttonwillow has been permitted to accept all hazardous wastes except <br /> flammables,PCBs with a concentration greater than 50 parts per million,medical waste, <br /> explosives,and radioactive waste with radioactivity greater than 1,800 picocuries <br /> (Buoni,2007). <br /> Clean Harbors Westmoreland Landfill <br /> This facility is not currently open and accepting waste because the Buttonwillow facility <br /> can accommodate the current hazardous waste generation rate. The facility is,however, <br /> available in reserve and could be reopened if necessary. The landfill's conditional use <br /> 5.14-10 SAC/371322/082330007(LEC_5.14_WASTE MANAGEMENT.DOC) <br />
