Box 806 Governor <br /> Environmental Protection Sacramento, California 95812-0806 <br /> L'J, <br /> February 3, 2009 . <br /> FE PH, <br /> Forward, Inc./Allied Waste North America � �Ji �,iv.YlLsa, aolti�7 <br /> 1145 W. Charter Way tll i,SE 91 `�1� <br /> Stockton, CA 95206 . <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> The purpose of this letter is to inform landfill owners/operators potentially affected by <br /> actions being considered by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) <br /> related to automobile shredder waste. DTSC is aware that many solid waste landfills in <br /> California accept treated automobile shredder waste for disposal, and also use treated <br /> automobile shredder waste as Alternative Daily Cover. <br /> In letters to each facility dated September 29, 2008, DTSC informed the owner/operator <br /> of each automobile shredding facility operating in the State that DTSC was considering <br /> repealing the conditional authorization that these facilities have been operating under <br /> since 1986. The conditional authorization allowed automobile shredders to treat their <br /> waste onsite and to dispose of it as non-hazardous waste, under specified conditions. <br /> Since that letter was issued, DTSC has granted a request by the automobile shredder <br /> industry for more time to provide additional information that DTSC might consider before <br /> it makes a final decision. DTSC now intends to render a final decision by March 30, <br /> 2009. <br /> Because of the possible impacts of its decision on landfills that receive automobile <br /> shredder waste, DTSC plans to inform you when it makes its final decision. If you have <br /> any questions or require additional information regarding the actions DTSC is <br /> considering, please feel free to contact me at (916) 445-5720. <br /> Si ce ly, <br /> 9 <br /> F <br /> Peter J.
