7.0 CURRENT AND PROJECTED TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITY (TSDF) CAPACITY 7. 1 CURRENT CAPACITY There are currently no commercial TSDFs in the County. However, there is a commercial Class II landfill in the County, Forward, Inc. , that accepts asbestos and designated wastes. Asbestos is disposed of in the Forward, Inc. Landfill in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations. Selected designated wastes (mainly ash from a coal generation plant) are disposed of in a separate designated waste landfill area at the Forward site. The remaining capacity of the nonhazardous landfill area is over 5 million tons (including nonhazardous municipal wastes and asbestos) . The designated waste landfill area has a remaining capacity of over 84,000 tons. 7.2 PROJECTED CAPACITY There are two proposals to establish commercial e cial hazardous waste management facilities in the County. These "proposed" facilities differ from planned" facilities in that all the discretionary state and local permits have yet to be filed by the proposing companies. If the proposed facilities were sited and permitted prior to the adoption of the CHWMP and its inclusion in the County General Plan, they would be "grandfathered" into the General Plan. If the proposed facilities were sited and permitted AfjU the Plan is adopted, the CHWMP and the General Plan would have to be amended (in accordance with Section 25199.3[g] of the California Health and Safety Code) . One proposed facility would mulch agricultural wastes (such as unused crops and free cuttings) and dry them to less than 15 percent moisture by weight in large rotary driers. These driers would be fueled by blended used waste lubricants supplied in used form by agricultural ® equipment operators, service shops, trucking operators, service PJ9 9390502D.00D 7-1 Rev. 1 11/08/88
