The first issue is the discharge into the unlined retention pond. The major concern 1s whether or not any constituents in the facility washdown water or constituents picked up by stormwater runoff are present above designated waste levels . In our IS May 1990 letter to your office, we stated that the County would have to determine if the discharge to the pond was a designated waste. To date, the County has net submitted a document stating the discharge is not a designated waste. In a 27 May 1993 phone conversation, you indicated that a separate tank would cuntain the facility washdown water for management at an on-site or off-site Lreatment facility, Therefore, only stormwater runoff will be discharged into C the retention pond. The county still needs to determine if the stormwater discharge is a designated waste. We would also like to see the plans for the cullection and treatment system for the washdown water. The second issue is the disturbance of an old existing landfill at the site. Our office was unaware that this landfill existed. The County' s proposed mitigation is to remove all wastes within five feet of the proposed structure as recommended in the i January 1993 Kleinfeider geotechnical report and take 67 these wastes to an approved landfill , The Draft EIR was not specific as to the volume of waste to be removed from the site. The County should send a letter to us stating the volume and description of the waste and which landfill received the wastes. At this time, we will not write waste discharge requirements for the expansion of the Lovelace Transfer Station. However, If future information indicates that waste discharge requirements are necessary, we will request a Report of Waste Discharge for the facility. L-46
