Foothill Landfill <br />Monitoring Implementation Plan <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MIP Page 12 <br />pollutants. With the exception of iron, these activities-based pollutants will be monitored <br />at only ST-4 and ST-5. <br />4.1.4 Standards Industrial Classification Sampling Parameters <br />The Foothill Landfill operates under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 4953 for <br />“landfills, land application sites, and open dumps” and is listed under Category #5 of <br />Attachment A of the General Permit requiring permit coverage. <br />Section XI.B.6.d requires that facility with General Permit coverage are to sample <br />additional sampling parameters listed in Table 1 based on a facility’s SIC code or codes. <br />For the SIC code of 4953, Table 1 adds iron to the sampled parameter sampling listing. <br />Should a Table 1 listed sampling parameter not be a potential pollutant based on industrial <br />activities, a facility can be exempted from sampling that Table 1 listed sampling parameter <br />upon approval of the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board). <br />4.1.5 Applicable TMDLs & 303(d) Listed Impairments <br />General Permit Sections I.F and X.G.2.ix requires a facility to include as part of its <br />pollutant assessment any applicable TMDLs listed in General Permit Attachment E and <br />applicable impairments listed in California 2010 303(d) list [303(d) list] found in Appendix <br />3 for the receiving Hydrologic Unit Code 10 watershed (HUC 10 watershed). <br />Currently Attachment E has no TMDLs listed for The San Joaquin County’s receiving <br />water body. <br />Any applicable TMDLs, and 303(d) listed impairments for the Mormon Slough HUC 10 <br />(ID# 1804000303) are listed in MIP Table 4.1.8. <br />The industrial activities at the Foothill Landfill have the potential to have the 303(d)-listed <br />present in storm water discharges, therefore, they are included in the facility’s monitoring <br />program for the ST-5 discharge point (SWPPP Map 2 and Appendix G). <br />4.1.6 Regional Water Board Required Sampling Parameters <br />A facility is to add any additional sampling parameters required by the Regional Board to <br />its’ list of sampling parameters. To date the Regional Board has not added to San Joaquin <br />County any additional sampling parameters. <br />4.1.7 Effluent Limitation Guidelines Sampling Parameters <br />Any facility subject to Subchapter N, Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs) as outlined in <br />General Permit Attachment F of the General Permit. Landfills are listed under Category #5 <br />of Attachment A of the General Permit requiring permit coverage. Landfills are listed under <br />Category #5 of Attachment A of the General Permit requiring permit coverage. <br />Furthermore, operators of landfills are required to comply with Part 445 of 40 CFR Chapter <br />I, Subchapter N, which specifies effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs) for specific <br />categories of industrial storm water discharges. Applicable ELGs for this facility are listed <br />in Table 7. <br /> <br />
