(A) Every application for a hazardous waste facility project shall be made in writing to the Planning Director on the forms provided by the Planning Department, and accompanied by a filing fee as set by the City Council. An application must include 15 copies of the application, site plan, elevation, floor plans, and landscape plans all drawn to scale.
(B) An application shall also include the following information:
(1) Name and address of applicant;
(2) Evidence that the applicant is the owner of the premises involved or that it has written permission of the owner to make such application;
(3) A plot and development plan drawn in sufficient detail as determined by the Planning Director and the Public Works Director/City Engineer to clearly describe the following:
(a) Physical dimensions of the property and structures;
(b) Location of existing and proposed structures;
(c) Proposed setbacks and landscaping;
(d) Proposed methods of circulation and parking;
(e) Existing and proposed drainage patterns;
(f) Proposed ingress and egress;
(g) Proposed storage and processing areas;
(h) Utilization of property under the requested land use permit;
(i) The distance from the project property line to the nearest adjacent structure, and a description and location of such structure;
(j) Proximity of the project to the 100 year flood plain areas;
(k) Proximity of the project to any known earthquake fault zones;
(l) The relationship of the proposed project to all above ground water supplies and all known underground aquifers;
(m) Topographic description of the property and surrounding area;
(n) A preliminary geological study of the property and surrounding area which addresses as deep of a soils analysis as there are known aquifers, regardless of the potability of those aquifers;
(o) Existing and proposed utilities which service or will be required to service the facility; and
(p) Vicinity map which indicates, at a minimum proximity of the project to schools, parks, and other community facilities within the city.
(4) Identification of all waste water, treated and untreated, generated by the proposed facility and the method and place of final discharge;
(5) An analysis of visual, noise, and any olfactory impacts associated with the project and recommended mitigation measures;
(6) An analysis of all anticipated air quality impacts associated with the project;
(7) Identification of any rare or endangered species of plant or animals within the project site;
(8) Identification of the amounts (in tons), sources, and types of hazardous wastes to be treated, stored, or disposed of at the proposed facility; the ultimate disposition of the wastes, and anticipated life of the facility. This information shall be based on an actual survey of the industries to be served and, thereby, be representative of the wastes that will be processed at the facility.
(9) A health and safety risk assessment which analyzes, in detail, all probabilities of accidents or spills at the site, transportation related accidents from the point of origin to the facility and any other probabilities requested by either the Planning Director, the Public Works Director/City Engineer, or the City Council. Such analyses shall identify mitigation measures to reduce the identified risks. The risk assessment shall identify the most probable routes for transporting hazardous wastes to the facility.
(10) A plan that identifies an ongoing program of air, soil, and groundwater monitoring. This plan shall include any monitoring requirements imposed by other permitting agencies such as, but not limited to, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, Regional Water Quality Control Board and the California Department of Health Services.
(11) An environmental information form in sufficient detail to enable the city to complete an initial study pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, and for the preparation by a qualified environmental consulting firm of an environmental impact report or negative declaration. An application shall not be declared complete until a draft environmental impact report or negative declaration prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act by a qualified environmental consulting firm is submitted to the Planning Director.
(12) An emergency response plan that includes, but which is not limited to, the following:
(a) That the proposed plan is consistent with any and all applicable county and regional emergency response plans and all regulatory requirements regarding emergency response procedure.
(b) Detailed procedures to be employed at the time of emergency for each and every type of chemical substance and emergency, including contingency procedures.
(c) Anticipated impacts on local fire, police, and medical services.
(d) Names, home and business addresses, and home and business telephone numbers of all management personnel at the facility, if known, and a detailed description of uncontrolled release and emergency situation reporting procedures. An application shall not be declared complete until such emergency response plan is approved by the Planning Director, the Public Works Director/City Engineer and the Fire Chief.
