Bruella Road at this site, has an existing right of way width of 40 feet, and a planned right of way width of 60 feet . Road right of way dedication will not be required. Application is to legalize drain pond which has existed for ten years - does not encroach roadway. Recommendations : None. " - Flood Control - Air Pollution Control District - Local Health District -- "In the event that this Application is approved, it is requested that the following conditions be made a part of the approval. 1. Obtain discharge requirements from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region. Provide minimum five (5) foot high perimeter fencing around the ponds with a locked gate. 2 . All brine to be disposed of in the waste water settling pond shall first be oxidized in process equipment which facilitates either chemical or catalytic air oxidation of the calcium sulfite and calcium bisulfite to calcium sulfate before being transferred into the pond. An Authority to Construct approving the equip- ment to be installed to affect the oxidation must be obtained from the Air Pollution Control District before construction of such equipment commences . As an alternative to the oxidation process, Tenneco West may process the waste brine by removing all organic matter and other contaminants and recycle the reclaimed brine, thereby eliminating the need for the pond. - Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company - Pacific Gas & Electric Company - Mokelumne Fire District - Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central valley Region -- A Waste Discharge Report must be filed. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS - The Environmental Review Officer determined that this application may be processed under a Negative Declaration. The Initial Study is on file in the Planning Department. - Proposal is to legalize a pond which was constructed approximately 10 years ago by the previous owners . - The most noticeable aspect of the project are odors emitting from the pond which is clearly evident from Bruella Road to the east . - The pond is not fenced, which if approved, should be made a condition. - The pond area was illegally divided and it will be necessary to file a Parcel Map to correct. Another solution would be to combine the parcels, as they are both under the same ownership. - The application was made as a result of enforcement action. - It appears that some of the existing plant storage area is located outside the M-1 Zone. Consideration should be given to requiring the applicant to rezoning the entire plant property EA/AP Zone. This would legalize the use, as well as permit future expansion.
