Therefore, we respectfully request that the CIWMB inspection report of April 20, 2005 be revise to remove the violation that food waste was not removed from the green waste destined for ADC. Thank you for your consideration to this matter. Proposed Action Plan: We acknowledge that the sorting process used at Forward needs to be more closely monitored and improved to insure that contamination is minimized. Therefore, we will review the program outlined in earlier letters to the LEA and revise that program to insure that our"pickers" are thoroughly briefed on the removal of restricted materials and whenever possible, food materials. We will include training materials to assist them and include training materials in Spanish and English. Further, we will work with the LEA on a program to improve the performance of this material as an ADC and, if necessary, include a more complete description of this program in any JTD revision. 3. Joint Technical Document Amendment As required by Title 27, California code of Regulations, Section 21600(b)(6)(B) Forward will submit an application to amend our JTD to estimate the range in tons of alternative daily cover and other materials used for beneficial reuse,based on waste types, applicable cover to waste volume ratios, applicable density conversion factors and applicable engineering specifications. In response to your concerns regarding the facility exceeding the daily and weekly tonnage limits on MSW, ADC and beneficial reuse, we will propose a revised JTD that will include proposed tonnage limits for various types of materials that are beneficially reused or utilized as cover or ADC. The tonnage limits specified in the JTD will be in addition to the daily and weekly tonnage caps that are listed in the current SWFP. However, we are not proposing to include soils and clean inerts that are not considered designated wastes or MSW in the weekly tonnage caps specified in the permit nor will we be proposing to specify limits for those materials in the JTD. However, the JTD amendments will include descriptions of the facilities proposed use of soils and inerts as specified in Title 27, California code of Regulations, Section 21600(b)(6)(B). We believe that this approach will allow the facility to immediately comply with a reasonable interpretation of the weekly and daily tonnage limits until additional limits on ADC and beneficial reuse can be established in a revised JTD. The current JTD will also be reviewed in order to identify particular areas requiring additional clarification such as the 6:1 cover ratio for ADC usage at the site that was referenced in recent correspondence from your department. The application to revise the JTD will be submitted by July 31, 2005.
