Item No . 3 PC : 6-15-89 RA-89-8 (QX-86-5) Page 3 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: An Early Consultation was done with various responsible State agencies because staff was initially uncertain if the coal ash was considered to be a hazardous waste . Three responses were received from State agencies . These responses are summarized as follows : Department of Health Services (DOHS) : Based upon an analysis of sample coal ash, the DOHS determined that the material is not a hazardous waste and that there should not be a problem with the applicant ' s plan to mix the material with sand for construction purposes . The DOES also requested that periodic sampling be done of the fly ash received from the supplier . A condition of approval of the Local Health District will address this by requiring quarterly testing of the coal ash . California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB, : The RWQCB commented that run-off water from the sand-ash mixing facility should not be allowed to cause a water quality problem for either surface or ground water and suggested various methods for run-off control such as covering the material and storing it on an impermeable pad. The applicant is proposing to utilize a concrete slab with block walls for the mixing facility, and all run-off will be retained in a tank. The Local Health District has also developed conditions of approval to address these issues . Department of Fish and Game DFG : The DFG commented that the coal ash and sand hlendinr should occur on the land side of the levee , which is where it is pro- posed to be located. An Initial Study was prepared for this project on May 4 , 1989 , and no significant effects were noted. Based on the Initial Study, a Negative Declaration has been prepared.
