ORDER N0.R5-201"017 11 <br /> CONDITIONAL WAIVER OF WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS <br /> FOR DISASTER-RELATED WASTES WITHIN THE CENTRAL VALLEY REGION <br /> 9. Disposal of large numbers of animal carcasses, and other high moisture waste <br /> streams from mass mortality (e.g., natural disaster, agricultural disease, etc.), <br /> may cause wastes to exceed moisture-holding capacity at regulated municipal <br /> solid waste landfills. To limit the impacts from high moisture content associated <br /> with a mass mortality waste load, the owner/operator responsible for the <br /> regulated waste disposal facility should implement the following procedures: <br /> a) Discharge high-moisture wastes (animal carcasses, animal related wastes, <br /> etc.) only in areas of the composite lined unit with a considerable thickness <br /> of other waste. <br /> b) Cover each layer of high-moisture wastes (e.g., animal carcasses, animal <br /> related wastes, etc.) with at least three feet of absorbent wastes or soil. <br /> c) For disaster related mass mortality wastes streams that are in a liquid form <br /> (e.g. raw eggs, etc.), reduce the moisture content prior to discharge by <br /> mixing with an absorbent material (e.g., saw dust, mulch, soil, etc.). <br /> 10.The Discharger shall manage temporary waste piles located at a regulated <br /> disposal facility in accordance with the specific conditions in Section C of this <br /> Conditional Waiver, below. <br /> 11.Within 30 days after the completion of discharges for each emergency, the <br /> owner/operator of a regulated waste disposal facility that accepted waste from <br /> disaster-impacted areas shall submit an amendment to their Report of Waste <br /> Discharge (ROWD) (amendment to the facility's Joint Technical Document) <br /> describing the material change to their discharge, pertaining to the temporary <br /> acceptance, management, and disposal of the waste. The ROWD shall include <br /> a completed Notice of Termination form (Attachment B) and information about <br /> the waste types accepted, location of the discharge including a map, and <br /> approximate volumes discharged. <br /> C. Specific Waiver Conditions for Disaster Related and Mass Mortality Wastes <br /> Discharged to Temporary Waste Piles Located at Regulated Waste Disposal <br /> Facilities <br /> 1. Owners/operators of regulated waste management or disposal facilities <br /> proposing to accept discharges of waste from disaster-impacted areas to a <br /> temporary waste staging area located at a regulated waste disposal facility shall <br /> submit a Notice of Intent to the Central Valley Water Board within 30 days after <br /> the initial discharge of any disaster related wastes for Declared Disaster Areas <br /> (or by schedule required in Section G for emergencies not in a Declared <br /> Disaster Area). The Notice of Intent shall contain the information listed in <br /> Attachment A to this Conditional Waiver. <br />
