11.3.7 Repositors eS for Treated RgIiAupd <br /> Treatment of hazardous wastes results in the generation of residues <br /> that must be disposed of in a secure facility. An estimated 6,711 <br /> tons per year of residuals are projected to be generated in the County <br /> by the year 2000. An average "small " repository handles between <br /> 10,000 and 20,000 tons a year. This indicates that even by the year <br /> 2000 there would be insufficient quantities to justify siting such a <br /> facility for the County's needs. <br /> A residuals repository would handle only those solid materials result- <br /> ing from the treatment of hazardous wastes. Generally, the residual <br /> treatment solids will be inorganic and will be oxidized by-products of <br /> various waste treatment processes. They may also have high concentra- <br /> tions of heavy metals which may be stabilized into a relatively <br /> nonreactive form. <br /> The residuals are solids; their organic content is low; their toxic <br /> inorganic components are relatively insoluble; And they are among the <br /> most inert and least mobile wastes presented for land disposal . <br /> As discussed in the OHS Technical Referencg_.KjnMAJ, a repository for <br /> treated residues must meet the geologic and other requirements of the <br /> State Water Resources Control Board for Class I waste management units <br /> for hazardous waste (Section 2531 , et sec. , of Title 23, California <br /> Code of Regulations) . Soch a facility would have the following <br /> features: <br /> 1 . The material accepted for deposition would be subject to three <br /> principal limitations. <br /> • Only solid materials resulting from the treatment of haz- <br /> ardous wastes are acceptable. <br /> • No free liquids would be accepted. <br /> PJ9 93905020.000 11-18 Rev. 1 11/08/88 <br />
