Robert McClellon September 18, 2014 Page 2 Clean San Joaquin has three substantive concerns about the proposed SWFP. First, the proposed permit no longer prohibits dead animals from being accepted at the facility. The existing permit identifies a clear prohibition on the acceptance of dead animals. We anticipate that this is an error inasmuch as Forward's Application does not include dead animals in its list of permitted wastes to be received. We request confirmation that Forward is prohibited from accepting dead animals at its facility. Second, in an email dated September 11, 2014 to the LaForges, you forwarded the draft SWFP and indicated that Forward and Calrecycle may propose changes to the permit. EHD may not legally shut the public out of its deliberations on the draft permit. We request a copy of the final permit that will be considered for approval by EHD as the Local Enforcement Agency. Third, according to the Notice of Public Hearing, the proposed permit revisions includes changes to the TPR and RCSI. We have reviewed the TPR and the RCSI and neither document identifies the proposed changes. We request that EHD identify each of the substantive changes to these documents and share these changes with the public. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the proposed SWFP revision. We would also appreciate your response to the questions and issues raised in this letter at your earliest opportunity. Very truly yours, SHUTE, MIHALY & WEINBERGER LLP Laurel L.
