FORWARD CLASS II LANDFILL SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 0 from the County or the Local enforcement Agency, other than those permits already issued. The Central Valley Water Board considered the Final EIR and incorporated mitigation measures from the Final EIR into these waste discharge requirements designed to prevent potentially significant impacts to design facilities and to water quality. 109. The Central Valley Water Board finds that this Order incorporates mitigation measures identified in the EIR that will reduce any potential environmental impacts of the discharge of cannery waste at the Forward Landfill to less than significant. Mitigation measures for land application of cannery waste include: (1) daily documentation of cannery waste received and locations of disposal; (2) BMPs for cannery waste, waste shall be spread no more than three inches deep and waste to be turned twice daily; (3) 50-foot setback between land application areas and water bodies and minimum 1 ,000 foot setback from domestic water wells; (4) regular monitoring of soil and waste; (5) weekly total nitrogen applied per acre shall be calculated and a crop sufficient to uptake 100% of nitrogen planted and harvested; (6) daily inspections of the land application areas during the discharge season for soil saturation, ponding, runoff, accumulated organic solids, odors and vectors; and (7) rinseate may be discharged to the compost facility only after the Discharge demonstrates that the discharge does not cause nuisance odors or attract vectors. 110. This Order implements: toa. The Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River Basins, Fourth Edition; b. The prescriptive standards and performance goals of California Code of Regulations, title 27, section 20005 et seq., effective 18 July 1997, and subsequent revisions; c. State Water Board Resolution 93-62, Policy for Regulation of Discharges of Municipal Solid Waste, adopted 17 June 1993, and revised on 21 July 2005. d. The applicable provisions of Title 40 C.F.R. section 258 "Subtitle D" federal regulations as required by State Water Board Resolution 93-62. 111. Based on the threat and complexity of the discharge, the facility is determined to be classified 1A as defined below: a. Category 1 threat to water quality, defined as, "Those discharges of waste that could cause the long-term loss of a designated beneficial use of the receiving water. Examples of long-term loss of a beneficial use include the loss of drinking water supply, the closure of an area used for water contact recreation, or the posting of an area used for spawning or growth of aquatic resources, including shellfish and migratory fish." b. Category A complexity, defined as, "Any discharge or toxic wastes; any small volume discharge containing toxic waste; any facility having numerous discharge points and groundwater monitoring; or any Class 1 waste management unit."
