DRAFT [TENTATIVE] WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER R5-2023-OOXX 13 FORWARD, INC. FORWARD LANDFILL SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY Compost Facility 33. A Compost Facility exists on site and was previously permitted under the previous WDRs R5-2014-0006. The composting facility is now regulated under the composting general order WQ 2020-0012-DWQ. Notice of Applicability dated DD MM 2023. Cannery Waste 34. The Discharger proposes to land apply cannery waste on 75 acres north of the former Austin Road Landfill unit (Attachment C). The waste is composed of two materials: cannery residual material including whole fruits, vines, leaves, pomace, culls, peels and seeds and cannery rinsate including rinse water and mud. The waste may contain trace amounts of cleansers and sanitizers used in the canning process. Cannery waste is nonhazardous decomposable waste that when land applied as a soil amendment under appropriate BMPs may be exempt from the containment provisions of title 27. Title 27 section 20090, subdiv. (f) states in part: "Soil Amendments — Use of nonhazardous decomposable waste as a soil amendment pursuant to applicable best management practices, provided that RWQCBs may issue waste discharge or reclamation requirements for such use." The discharge is seasonal from late-June to early-November. Excess cannery residual material may be treated in the compost facility (refer to WQ 2020-0012-DWQ NOA dated DD MM 2023 for regulatory information). Excess cannery rinse water may be discharged to a surface impoundments WMU F West and WMU F North. Site Conditions 35.
