DRAFT [TENTATIVE] WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER R5-2023-00XX 24 <br />FORWARD, INC. <br />FORWARD LANDFILL <br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br />constructed for WMU D-94, WMU D-97, WMU D-98, WMU D-99, WMU D-00, <br />WMU Art-03, WMU FU-04 North, WMU FU-05 North, WMU FU-06 North, WMU <br />FU-08 North, WMU FU-10, WMU FU-13, and WMU FU-17. <br />82.According to the submitted seismic analysis, the proposed new WMUs will be <br />able to withstand MCE and MPE seismic events described in Finding 42 <br />(Title 27, sec. 20370). <br />83.New and existing LCRSs shall be fitted with an automated pumping system and <br />operated to prevent buildup of head on the liner. The depth of leachate in any <br />LCRS sump shall be kept at or below the minimum needed to ensure safe pump <br />operation and shall be no greater than 30 centimeters (12 inches) unless the <br />Discharger demonstrates that it is infeasible to maintain less than 12 inches in <br />the LCRS sump area. If leachate depths exceed these levels or liquid is detected <br />in the underlying leak detection layer, the Discharger shall immediately notify the <br />Central Valley Water Board in writing within seven days. Notification shall include <br />a time table for remedial or corrective action necessary to reduce leachate <br />production (Title 27, sec. 20370, subd. (c)). <br />Land Application of Cannery Wastes <br />84.The Discharger receives and accepts cannery waste from different canning <br />facilities in San Joaquin and Stanislaus County that process a variety of fruits <br />and vegetables, which include but not limited to peaches, tomatoes, cucumbers, <br />cherries, and apricots. The cannery waste consists of the following three forms: <br />a.Rinsate: A liquid waste with 1-2% solids that is produced as a result of the <br />canning and equipment cleaning processes. <br />b.Residuals: Cannery solid residual material which is the organic matter that <br />is removed as part of the canning process. This organic material consists <br />of whole fruit, vines, leaves, pomace, culls, peels, and seeds. <br />c.Mud: This waste is the settled solids produced as the result of initially <br />washing dust and dirt from the fruits and vegetables. This product is 40- <br />50% solid. <br />85.The cannery waste is discharged to a 75-acre portion Land Application Area <br />(LAA) of the Facility, which is located directly north of the former Austin Road <br />Landfill unit (see Attachment C). Approximately 23.3 acres of this area is also <br />designated as soil borrow area. <br />86.Cannery waste is nonhazardous decomposable waste that, when land applied as <br />a soil amendment under appropriate best management practices (BMPs), may <br />be exempt from the State Water Board-promulgated containment provisions of
