1.3 Project Purpose <br />The RWQCB application for permitting a food processing residuals land application facility' <br />requires, in addition to pertinent site and waste information, an anti -degradation analysis. The <br />anti -degradation analysis must be based on site-specific data. <br />The purpose of this Pilot Project Plan is to obtain the site-specific data on the native soil <br />material initially, and again, after the food processing residual material has been applied and <br />removed from the pilot project area. The results of the testing program will assist in evaluating <br />the level of degradation associated with the land application. The comparative data will identify <br />key constituents that have changed, and to what degree, and identify potential risks to the <br />underlying groundwater based on the current established water quality goals. <br />The data will also be used to assist in identifying methods to minimize degradation, <br />establishing best management practices, and other potential control measures to reduce <br />degradation, and costs associated with these control measures. Finally, the data will assess <br />the benefits to the State to allow the process to be performed at the Forward Landfill <br />1.4 Previous Investigations <br />No formal investigation of the Forward Landfill Land Application Area or the pilot area have <br />been conducted to date. <br />1 "Additional Information Requirements for Report of Waste Discharge, Forward Landfill, Food Processing <br />Residuals Land Application Facility," RWQCB, July 2011 <br />M XFORWARD LANDFILL LAND APPLICATION 4 <br />
