WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS -3- <br />FORWARD INCORPORATED <br />WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITY <br />CLASS II LANDFILLS CLASS III LANDFILLS <br />CLASS II SURFACE IMPOUNDMENT <br />CLASS II LAND TREATMENT UNIT <br />CLOSURE OF CLASS I LANDFILL <br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br />provided that the wastes are handled and disposed of in accordance with <br />applicable statutes and regulations. <br />6. The Discharger proposes to discharge coal and wood ash to WMU E, a Class <br />II landfill unit. Data submitted by the Discharger indicate that coal ash, <br />if commingled with wastes that produce acidic leachate, could release <br />pollutants in concentrations which could cause degradation of waters of <br />the state. However, the Discharger's data also show that in the absence <br />of acidic conditions, coal ash does not pose such a water quality threat. <br />In addition, the data show that coal ash itself is not capable of <br />generating acidic leachate. <br />7. The State Department of Health Services (DHS) has granted shredder waste <br />a variance, for the purposes of disposal, from hazardous waste management <br />requirements pursuant to Section 66310, Title 22 of the CCR. Shredder <br />waste is any waste which results from the shredding of automobile bodies <br />(from which batteries, mufflers, and exhaust pipes have been removed), <br />household appliances, and sheet metal. <br />8. 'Hazardous waste' which has received a variance from DHS for the purposes <br />of disposal is classified as a 'designated waste' pursuant to Section 2522 <br />of Subchapter 15. <br />9. 'Designated waste' may be disposed of in a Class III WMU provided that, <br />prior to disposal, the Discharger establishes to the satisfaction of the <br />Board that the waste presents a lower risk of degrading water quality than <br />is indicated by its classification. <br />10. The State Water Resources Control Board adopted Resolution 87-22 on 19 <br />March 1987. This Resolution allows the discharge of shredder wastes to <br />Class III landfills where waste discharge requirements allow such disposal. <br />11. The Discharger proposes to discharge shredder waste to WMU D and H. <br />12. The Discharger proposes to discharge sewage and water treatment sludges <br />to selected portions of WMU D and WMU H as described in Finding 48. <br />13. The Discharger proposes to discharge soils contaminated with 'nonhazardous' <br />levels of petroleum hydrocarbons (<1,000 ppm) to WMU G, a land treatment <br />unit. The soils will be stored and then aerated. Once the levels of <br />
