The application for an off-site hazardous waste facility shall also include the following elements of a health and safety assessment. The Director and/or Local Assessment Committee shall have the authority to require specific items of content in the report addressing each element of the health and safety assessment, according to the specific circumstances of the site or facility proposed.
A. Geotechnical element to determine the proximity of known active or potentially active faults, landslides or other hazards which could affect the proposed facility design, or which might expose the operation thereof to earthquake or landslide hazards, and proposed mitigation of such hazards if required. The complete scope of work for the study shall be provided by the City Geologist prior to commencement of work on the study.
B. Hydrology element to consist of the following information:
1. Identification of all wastewater generated by the proposed facility, treated and untreated, the method of treatment and place of final discharge;
2. Identification of known aquifers on or within proximate distance of the site of the proposed facility, and impact of the project upon the aquifers regardless of the potability of the aquifers.
C. Traffic element to determine the daily trip generation rate for the proposed facility, especially the trip rate during the weekday evening ping peak hour, impact on existing level of service for any signalized intersection in the project vicinity, and identification of the haul rate from the City limits to the facility, including any likely alternatives.
D. Hazardous waste element to identify the amounts (tonnage) and types of hazardous wastes to be treated at the proposed facility; the source of these wastes; the ultimate disposition of the wastes, and the anticipated life of the facility. Information shall be provided on the amounts, sources and types of hazardous wastes to be treated based on an actual survey of the industries to be served.
E. Facility security element to prevent the unauthorized entry of persons or animals onto any portion of the facility. The element shall contain appropriate specifications for control of entry to the facility, adequate perimeter fencing and twenty-four-hour surveillance by on-premise security personnel or by monitored electronic media, and such other information as may be required by the City or cooperating agency.
