Used lubricants will be transported to the facility by tank (vacuum) trucks. These trucks will collect used lubricants from agricultural equipment operators and service shops, trucking operators, service stations and garages. Upon arrival at the site, the lubricants will be sampled and tested using the onsite lab facilities .to ensure that no unknown or off-specification contaminants are contained in the batch. Very strict controls will be imposed to ensure the facility receives only lubricants within legal and contractural terms. Specifications for acceptance of waste lubricants will meet applicable state and federal regulations (e.g., requirements for recycled oil set forth in the Health and Safety Code, Section 25250.1). Off-specification shipments will either be returned to the generator or taken to an authorized disposal site. The resource recovery process consists of filteriing and water separation. Water separated in the process will be evaporated. Sludges generated in the filtration process and cleaning operations will be properly containerized and shipped to an authorized disposal site. 1.2 Project Size and Location To gain a perspective on the size of the two systems, it is appropriate to look at the comparative capacity of each system. These are: Briquetting System - 30 tons/hour of product (216,000 tons annually) Oil Recovery System - 540 gals/hour of product (15,000 tons annually) The briquetting facility will need about 10 acres to accomodate all equipment and storage requirements. The resource recovery facility will require less than 1 acre. The largest single structure will be the 12,800 square foot finished briquette storage building which will have a maximum of height of 40 feet at the eaves. Two cyclones will be approximately 30 feet tall each and the evaporator stack will be about 25 feet. The project site as depicted in Figure 1.2 is located approximately 3 miles to the southeast of the city limits of Stockton in an agricultural area. It consists of a 56.9 acre parcel at the junction of Austin and Mariposa Roads, just south of the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, as shown in Figure 1.3. Approximately 19.8 acres of the parcel would be utilized for the project. The balance, 37.1 acres, may be leased for continued crop production. The Northern California Youth Center is located approximately 3/4 of a mile to the southwest and the Northern California Women's Facility is located 1000 feet to the southwest. 1.3 Project Site Description The project site is a flat parcel with an average elevation of 45 feet above mean sea level . The plot has a slight natural contour drainage to the west. There is a drainage ditch along the western 2
