au OA LIF4ANIA Mater Boards Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board 15 August 2013 Don Litchfield Area Environmental Manager Republic Services 9999 South Austin Road Manteca, CA 95336 APPROVAL OF CANNERYRINSE WA7tR DISCHARGE TO CLASS 11 SURFACE IMPOUNDMENT, FORWARD LANDFILL, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY The disposal of solid and liquid waste at Forward Landfill is regulated by Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) Order R5-2003-0049. Republic Services (Discharger) owns and operates the facility. Am On 6 August 2013, Lewis Engineering submitted a request to dispose of wastewater from local canneries into the landfill's two Class II surface impoundments. The request also included a liner compatibility analysis, which is required by CCR Title 27, and a Cannery Rinse Water Operations Plan that describes how the Class II surface impoundments would be managed to maintain capacity and prevent nuisance conditions related to organic material in the wastewater. Discharge Specification B.3 of Order R5-2003-0049 states: "The discharge of liquid and semi- solid waste to the Class 11 surface impoundment is limited to leachate for the landfill units and surface impoundment leachate collection and removal system (LCRSs), septage, chemical toilet waste, boiler hlowdown water, grease trap pumpings, non -hazardous landfill gas condensate, and other wastes that are compatible with the liner system and meet the approval of the Board." After review, Regional Board staff agrees with the conclusions of the Cannery Rinse Water Operations Plan which are: 1. The addition of cannery waste to the Class II surface impoundments will not affect the integrity of the liner; and 2. The additional volume of wastewater discharged to the Class II surface impoundments will not cause a violation of the two -foot freeboard requirement. Therefore, cannery wastewater may be discharged into the Class 11 surface impoundments. Please note that the discharge of cannery wastewater into the Class 11 surface impoundments must be monitored and reported in accordance with Monitoring and Reporting Program R5-2003-0049. KAnt_ E.
