Box 599 <br /> Lodi,CA 95241 <br /> DISPOSAL OF CREOSOTE TREATED WOOD FROM SANTA FE RAILWAY CO., <br /> ORWOOD BRIDGE SITE <br /> This letter is in response to your letter of 10 December 1992 regarding disposal of creosote <br /> treated wood timbers from a Santa Fe Railway trestle. We concur with your intention to <br /> dispose of creosote treated wood timbers installed in the 1930's and earlier, into a Class <br /> III landfill in San Joaquin County, as long as the material has not been recently re-treated <br /> with preservative chemicals. It is our position that treated wood which has been in <br /> service for a significant number of years and has not been retreated poses little or no <br /> threat to water quality if discharged to a Class III landfill that is in compliance with waste <br /> discharge requirements adopted by this Regional Water Board pursuant to Title 23, <br /> California Code of Regulations, Division 3, Chapter 15. <br /> Your letter also listed L&D Landfill in Sacramento as a candidate for disposal of the <br /> timbers. L&D Landfill is classified as a Limited Class III landfill. Due to its location in a <br /> gravel formation, this landfill has a water quality protection potential below that of a <br /> normal Class III landfill unit. For this reason, waste discharge requirements for L& D <br /> limit the types of wastes acceptable for discharge. Therefore, L&D Landfill is not a <br /> suitable facility for the disposal of the Santa Fe trestle timbers. <br /> We will not address your intention to dispose of more recently installed or treated <br /> timbers in the B.F.I. Class II landfill in Livermore,since that waste management facility is <br /> not regulated by this Regional Water Board. For information on the B.F.I. Landfill, <br /> contact the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board in Oakland at <br /> (510) 286-1255. <br /> Please call me at(916) 255-3123 if you have questions regarding the content of this letter. <br /> l/ Jon B.
