e <br /> these wastes are not hazardous, according to the definition in <br /> the CAM manual. In addition, at the suggestion of Mr. Golden, we <br /> sampled the material in the evaporation pond system and had <br /> appropriate analysis conducted. The results of these laboratory <br /> analysis were submitted with our monitoring report dated April <br /> 12, 1982 . <br /> The next paragraph of the site inspection report makes <br /> reference to bromine in one of the waste ponds. Consultation <br /> with our chemical engineering consultant indicates that this <br /> component probably originated from the brines which have been <br /> accepted for disposal . These brine wastes originate from produc- <br /> ing gas wells and they are approved for disposal on the Forward <br /> site. It should also be pointed out that the concentration of <br /> bromine in the Health Department analysis are below the hazardous <br /> threshold levels. The reference to our US/EPA hazardous waste <br /> permit application showing presence of mercury being accepted is <br /> an error in the use of a designated computer code. Mercury has <br /> not been a significant component of any waste ever accepted at <br /> the Forward site. <br /> The final paragraph of the site inspection report identifies <br /> three waste materials which are accepted for disposal without <br /> authorization of the Department of Health Services. These wastes <br /> were accepted following receipt of verbal approval from the <br /> Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Department of Health <br /> Services . This approval was never documented. The waste materials <br /> -4- <br />
