Description of Facility <br /> Falcon Energy Associate (hereafter "the facility" ) has <br /> applied to the California Department of Health Services <br /> (hereafter "Department" ) for a Series "A" Resource Recovery <br /> Facility Permit for the operation of a hazardous waste <br /> recycling facility located at 6540 South Austin Road in <br /> San Joaquin County near the city of Stockton. <br /> The facility will operate a used oil recycling plant that <br /> employs physical separation processes to recycle used oil <br /> into fuel oil products. <br /> Hazardous waste operations start when the facility <br /> accepts used oil from local generators. Each incoming <br /> used oil load will be analyzed for water content, <br /> specific gravity, total halogens , polychlorinated <br /> biphenyls (PCB) content, and flashpoint. As a result of <br /> the sampling analysis, the facility will determine <br /> whether or not the incoming materials can be processed at <br /> the plant. <br /> When the incoming used oil load is accepted, the waste <br /> will be discharged into one of the three 20 ,000 gallon <br /> storage tanks via a canister filter unit (which includes <br /> eight mesh filter media) . In the storage tanks, the used <br /> oil will be heated to improve flow characteristics and <br /> decrease the oil density for oil/water separation. The <br /> heated oil will then be discharged to the first of three, <br /> 8 ,000 gallon settling tanks via a preheater and a <br /> canister filter unit (which includes 11 mesh filter <br /> media) . The lighter density lubricants will rise to the <br /> top of the settling tank and will be decanted to one of <br /> the other two settling tanks. The total residence time <br /> for the series of three settling tank decanting processes <br /> will be approximately 40 hours. <br /> Wastewater and other sediments will also be extracted <br /> from the cone-shaped bottom of each of the settling tanks <br /> to a wastewater coalesced separator which will remove <br /> more lubricants. The separated lubricants will be pumped <br /> back to one of , the storage tanks, and the wastewater will <br /> be tested for hazardous constituents. If the wastewater <br /> is determined to be nonhazardous, it will flow to a <br /> biomass rotary dryer system for evaporation. If, on the <br /> other hand, the wastewater is determined to be hazardous, <br />
