As noted in a Southern California Siting manual (3.--rger and Associ - <br /> ates, 1983) 1 : <br /> "For each component of the siting process (i .e. , site selec- <br /> tion, site evaluation, site permitting, and facility permit- <br /> ting) the siting criteria can be applied either directly or <br /> indirectly during the decision-making processes. The use of <br /> a standard set of siting criteria can add predictability to <br /> the siting process for all participants by providing uni - <br /> formity in the planning and evaluation of proposed facil - <br /> ities. The siting criteria provide the proponent, the regu- <br /> lator, and the community with a rational set of factors on <br /> which to judge the attributes (both positive and negative) <br /> of a proposed facility. " <br /> With the objective of identifying general areas within the County <br /> suitable for siting hazardous waste transfer facilities, siting <br /> criteria were developed to eliminate from consideration land consid- <br /> ered unsuitable for siting facilities. <br /> Summarized below are the siting criteria for transfer facilities which <br /> were adapted from OHS Guidelines, June 30, 1987. <br /> • Seismic <br /> No facilities shall be placed within 200 feet of an <br /> active or recently active fault (California Code of <br /> Regulations [CCR] , Title 22, Section 66391 [a] [11] A [1] <br /> and [2]) . Facilities sited in seismic zones shall be <br /> designed and constructed to ensure structural stability <br /> in accordance with the building code. <br /> Seismic areas in the County are shown in Figure 11-1 . <br /> 1 . The siting manual , entitled Hazardous Waste Facilities Siting <br /> ftaul, was prepared in 1983 for the Southern California Hazardous <br /> Waste Management Project to help guide the siting process in Southern <br /> California. <br /> PJ9 9390502D.000 11-2 Rev. 1 11/08/88 <br />
