!)RAFT • On September 19, 2005, a meeting was held at the CIWMB office in Sacramento. During the meeting Forward Inc. was represented by Chuck Helget, Mike Caprio, Curt Fujii, Sangeeta Lewis and Kevin Basso. The CIWMB staff that attended the meeting was Howard Levenson, Mark de Bie, Geralda Styker, Keith Kennedy. The EHD staff that attended the meeting was Robert McClellon, and Michael Kith. The meeting started with Mike Caprio asking that the previous violation be revised to areas of concern because there was disagreement on the definition of green waste and that it could be an issue if they wanted to revise the permit. Mr. Caprio stated that he was concerned with the facilities compliance history. Mark de Bie stated that if the violation were not ongoing that it would not hamper the permitting process. Mark de Bie also stated that it is the LEA that is making the citation,the appeal would need to start with them. The discussion moved to the issue of tonnage. Mike Caprio stated that the facility was not in violation of the tonnage limit if the soils were taken out of the tonnage. Mike Caprio stated that they would want to see that the soils be allowed above the tonnage limit and that he felt that they had the approvals necessary to allow it. Mr. Caprio stated that at this time they were not going to concede ADC, but save that conversation for later. Ms. Lewis, a consultant for Forward Inc. stated that she had reviewed the CEQA document and that it clearly analyzed for disposal tonnage at the facility. She provided several quotes from the document that stated tons disposed. Robert McClellon, stated that the CEQA document describes the facility operations, numbers and types of equipment, hours of operations, estimated closure date and other details about the facility, but no where in the document does it state that Forward Inc. was going to take certain waste • streams and not count it toward their daily tonnage. Robert McClellon stated that the facility site life has been revised to 2017 down from 2020. Robert McClellon asked for an explanation for this change in estimated closure date. Curt Fujii an engineer for Forward Inc. explained that the facility had experienced an increase in the amount of projected growth in waste. Robert McClellon asked how could that be,the amount reported as disposed of has went down for the facility in the last year or so. The Mark de Bie asked Keith Kennedy, Michael Kith and Robert McClellon to step outside to discuss the options for resolution. The discussion resulted in agreement that Forward Inc. could take clean soil above the tonnage limit if the soil was clean soil and that if the facility operators would have to make a good faith effort to resolving the issues on the RDSI. If Forward Inc would agree to that the facility would receive areas of concern for the tonnage until everything was hammered out. This would allow Forward Inc. to avoid being on the list of site that violate state minimum standards. Mark de Bie, Keith Kennedy, Michael Kith and Robert McClellon,re-entered the meeting with Forward Inc. we gave them our proposal. Robert McClellon stated that the definition of clean soil would need to be determined and the soil could not be considered Class II waste. Curt Fujii stated that Forward Inc. does not use Class II waste as cover. The meeting ended with an agreement that Forward Inc. was going to work with the EHD on the definition of clean soil, and meet with EHD on September 21, 2005 to try and resolve most of the RDSI issues. The EHD was going to in return wait to the latest date to conduct the inspection in September and hold the inspection report in abeyance for 30 days as allowed by regulation to allow the facility time to make changes. •
