WASTE DISC HARGEREICES ENTS -4- IC GROVER LANDSC AP , ICES MAN CA COMPOSTING FACILITY SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 5. Prior to the onset of the rainy season, the Discharger shall conduct an annual survey of the operation in order to assure that the site has been graded and prepared for the rainy season to eliminate and prevent erosion and to prevent ponding. 6. The Discharger shall inspect storage and treatment areas for emergence of leachate, ponding, or surface failures such as cracking or subsidence. If visible leachate, ponding cracking, or subsidence of surfaces is observed, the Discharger shall immediately take necessary measures to maintain the performance standards used in the design of storage and treatment areas. 7. All areas upon which waste is discharged for storage and treatment shall have surfaces capable of preventing degradation of waters of the state as a result of waste storage or treatment. Such surfaces shall be designed, constructed and maintained to: (1) impede vertical movement of liquid phase constituents and(2) reliably transmit most of the liquid generated during storage and treatment of waste laterally across the upper surface of the layer,thereby preventing significant quantities of liquids from entering ground or surface waters throughout the lifetime of the operation. If the equipment operating near or on storage and treatment areas produces subsidence, cracking, or otherwise compromises any surface, the discharger shall repair any damaged areas immediately. 8. The construction of any composting units after the date of this Order shall be maintained to assure the sub-base beneath the composting units is compacted to 90 percent of maximum dry density, graded to obtain a uniform, smooth working surface, free of pockets and depressions, and to inhibit vertical migration of wastes. 9. The Discharger shall design,construct, and maintain surface impoundments as necessary to contain,all internal runoff at the facility. 10. Freeboard in surface impoundments shall not be less than two feet, measured vertically. 11. No composting or storage of compost shall occur within 100 feet of any domestic water well. 12. The discharge of-green waste for storage and treatment by composting shall not cause or threaten to cause a condition of contamination, pollution or nuisance. C. Ground Water Limitations The discharge, in combination with other sources, shall not cause underlying ground water to contain waste constituents in concentrations statistically greater than background water quality. D. Provisions 1. The Discharger shall, in a timely manner,remove and relocate any wastes or materials discharged or placed at this facility in violation of this Order. 2. The Discharger shall comply with Monitoring and Reporting Program No. —, which is attached to and made part of this Order. A violation of Monitoring and Reporting Program No. —is a violation of these waste discharge requirements.
