E. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND WASTES

1. INTRODUCTION

Hazardous materials has become a significant public health and safety concern since the late 1970's. The use, production, storage, treatment, and cleanup of hazardous materials and wastes will dramatically affect present and future generations. Contamination due to hazardous materials and waste could impede the implementation of this General Plan by increasing the cost of development, limiting land use options, and delay action until after necessary cleanups of contaminated sites are completed. This discussion addresses land use compatibility issues and management hazardous materials by identifying the types and location of sites and facilities which produce, use, store, or dispose of hazardous materials. In addition, the issue of household and other small-scale generators of hazardous materials and wastes are addressed. Accidents involving hazardous materials are discussed in the next chapter on Emergency Preparedness.

2. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Hazardous materials include all flammable, reactive, corrosive, or toxic substances which, because of these properties, pose potential to harm to the public or environment. Hazardous materials such as agricultural chemicals, natural gas and petroleum, explosives, radioactive materials and various commercial chemical substances are used , stored, or produced in San Joaquin County.

Agricultural Chemicals. Agricultural chemicals include fertilizers and pesticides (e.g., herbicides, insecticides, fumigates, fungicides). These chemicals are vital to today's agriculture, but improper use can result in toxic effects on the user, on others nearby, and on the environment. Groundwater contamination from fertilizers and pesticides is of great concern. For example, the pesticide DBPC (dibromochloropropane), which has been discovered in wells in San Joaquin County and other parts of the state, has caused wells to be shut down.1 Both state and local agencies are making efforts to prevent contamination of ground and surface water. The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has established the Pesticide Regulatory Program, whose goal is to keep pesticide residues out of drinking water supplies. At the local level, the County Agricultural Commissioner's Office enforces pesticide regulations that provide protection for people, animals, and the environment2 Natural Gas and Petroleum. Many miles of pipelines criss-cross the County. These pipelines carry natural gas, crude oil, and other petroleum products. A pipeline break could cause pollution of the air, soil, or groundwater. Natural gas is thought to be less of a hazard to the public than petroleum products, because it is transported at lower pressures than petroleum products and when released, it rises and dissipates into the atmosphere. If burning, natural gas burns vertically, while petroleum products spread and flow along the ground and are more likely to spread to nearby property.

Explosives. Explosives represent a significant hazard to land uses and a potential danger to public safety. Explosives manufacturing, storage and testing facilities are under local land use control, and permits can be conditioned to decrease the risk to the public. In addition, the County Sheriff's office issues permits for use and storage of explosives. There is no local control over the transportation of explosive materials. The federal government has primary responsibility for regulating the transportation of hazardous substances (including explosives) on water and rail, while the California Highway Patrol is responsible for regulating transportation over the state's highways, roads and streets. Explosive materials (and three types of chemicals) are currently under route control as per Title 13 of the California Administrative Code. The Code designates routes, safe stopping places, safe parking places and inspection stops. Figure III.E-1 shows the designated routes and stops within the County. Radioactive Materials. All types of radioactive materials (mostly low level) are used throughout the County. Low level radioactive materials are used by medical, educational, governmental, and industrial uses. Higher levels of radioactive materials are associated with governmental research, military weapons, and nuclear power plants.3 The use of radioactive material is licensed by three agencies: the State of California's Department of Health Services (DOHS), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) regulates the shipment of defense explosive devices with the shipments made in secret.3 On-site use of radioactive materials by the Departments of Energy and Defense are controlled by federal regulations. The state and local governments have little or no information or control of use. The DOHS has done, and continues to do, some monitoring to assess off-site impacts of major nuclear facilities in the State. Low level/short half-life radioactive materials licensed and controlled by the State are used by medical, educational, and industrial users. The DOHS has adopted the federal regulations for packing, marking, loading, handling, and transportation of radioactive cargo. The Department of Industrial Relations has been contracted by DOHS to enforce the above regulations.3 After the above facilities finish using the radioactive materials and contaminated materials, the following actions are taken: 1) unused and leftover radioactive materials are returned to the manufacturer for reprocessing or disposal; 2) contaminated materials are either sent to a low level radiation disposal site or kept on site until radioactivity is reduced to below natural background level and the material is disposed of in the same manner as regular wastes.4,5 The State Vehicle Code requires the California Highway Patrol (CHP) with the help of DOHS to adopt routes to be used to transport fissile III radioactive materials. Proposed routes within San Joaquin County are Interstates 5, 205 and 580.





Commercial Hazardous Substances. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has an inventory of over 43,000 chemical substances that have been or are being produced in commercially significant amounts. Of these chemical substances, over 14,000 have been listed as hazardous, and only a few of these have been studied in depth. Very little is known about the potential effects of these substances on human health and the environment, particularly the long term effects of low level exposure. The use of hazardous substances is not inherently dangerous. It is their misuse, improper handling and the wastes of these hazardous substances that are of concern. Hazardous substances in the workplace are the responsibility of the Department of Industrial Relations through the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) program and other cooperating agencies. Standards, limits, exposures, and lists are set and established by Cal/OSHA for compliance with regulations.3 As mentioned earlier, the federal government has the primary responsibility for regulating the transportation of hazardous substances on the nation's waterways and railroads. The State is responsible for regulating hazardous substances transportation over the State highways and roads and streets. The CHP licenses and regulates the transportation of all hazardous material and conducts inspections of vehicles and inspects for compliance with federal and state regulations on packaging, signing, and shipping papers. However, there are no controls over which routes hazardous materials can abe transported or times which these route movements can take place.3 The Hazardous Substances Highway Spill Containment Abatement Act of 1980 designates the CHP as state coordinator for spills occurring along state highways. On highways within CHP jurisdiction, the CHP makes required notifications and along roads outside of CHP jurisdiction the CHP assists local agencies with notifications. In addition, the state Hazardous Materials Incident Contingency Plan, and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan all describe pre-emergency preparedness on and off highways.3 3. HAZARDOUS WASTES The State of California has established definitions and criteria for hazardous waste identification. The State Health and Safety Code states: Hazardous waste means a waste, or combination of wastes, which because of its

quantity, concentration of physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may either: (a) cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness, (b) pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of or otherwise managed. Unless expressly provided otherwise, the term hazardous waste shall be understood to also include extremely hazardous waste.6



In addition, the Health and Safety Code states: Extremely hazardous waste means any hazardous waste or mixture of hazardous

wastes which, if human exposure should occur, may likely result in death, disabling personal injury or serious illness caused by the hazardous waste or mixture of hazardous wastes because of its quantity, concentration, or chemical characteristics.7

Numerous federal and State laws regulate hazardous waste. In California the Department of Health Services (DOHS) is the major regulatory agency, although depending on the waste, the Air Resources Board (ARB) or the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) or another agency may be involved. Locally, the Public Health Services and the Air Pollution Control District have responsibility for enforcing some state standards. The State is beginning to delegate more responsibility for hazardous waste management to cities and counties. In San Joaquin County there is a local inspection program of small hazardous waste generators.8 Waste Generation. The State of California estimates that approximately 10 million tons of hazardous wastes are generated per year in the state. Over 65% of the total hazardous waste is generated by industries associated with the manufacturing of chemical and related products, petroleum products, and in the extraction of oil and gas. The remaining 35% of the total hazardous waste generated in the state is from sources other than industries which include household and small-scale generators. Household generation of hazardous waste (such as paints, disinfectants, degreasers, oven cleaners, and shampoos) is an area of hazardous waste generation that has been largely ignored. Other than dumping the chemicals into the weekly trash, it is very difficult, if not impossible, for the average household to dispose of these wastes properly. These household hazardous wastes when disposed into landfill sites, begin to decompose to form toxic substances as harmful to public health as chemical hazardous wastes generated by industry. The County needs to address this issue by increasing public awareness and developing alternative collection and disposal facilities. The DOHS estimates that within San Joaquin County approximately 33,270 tons per year of hazardous waste are generated. Approximately 17,780 tons of this total is managed on-site, that is, in treatment, storage, or disposal facilities located on the property. The other 15,490 tons is managed off the property at hazardous waste facilities. Treatment, Storage and Disposal Practices. Waste management involves some form of treatment to render waste nontoxic, less toxic, or to substantially reduce its volume. On-site management typically involves discharge of dilute effluent to sewer system, solar evaporation in surface impoundments, chemical treatment, recycling, incineration, and land disposal.



Currently, off-site management of hazardous wastes primarily consist of land disposal techniques. The increasing costs of liability and potential cleanup factors for these sites, and the decrease in the availability of land disposal sites has encouraged the development of new alternative technology facilities. These alternative technologies include recycling; chemical, physical and biological processes; incineration; and stabilization and solidification. Hazardous waste may be disposed of in Class I and Class II-I landfill sites. The class of a site is determined by the SRWQCB. There are seven Class I disposal sites within the state. The closest ones to San Joaquin County are in Martinez and King City. Class I hazardous waste land disposal facilities may accept all types of hazardous waste (with few exceptions), while Class II-I facilities accept only certain specified types of hazardous waste. Transportation routes for hazardous wastes are shown in Figure III.E-1. The State has estimated that 65% to 80% of all hazardous wastes are disposed into either sewer systems or surface water both legally and illegally. Generally these wastes are contained in rinse water, which are high volume and low toxicity. Most of the dischargers are under Waste Discharge Requirement Permits from the State Regional Water Quality Control Board (SRWQCB). SRWQCB sets limits on the amount and kinds of discharge allowed. Sewage sludge materials may at times be handled as hazardous wastes because of their concentration of heavy metals and synthetic organic chemicals.9 Since comprehensive information on the types and volumes of wastes and the identity of all waste generators are unknown, the amount of illegal dumping of hazardous materials is also unknown. There are basically three types of illegal dumping of hazardous materials: • Illegal dumping into sewer systems;

• Illegal dumping at Class II and Class III disposal sites; and

• Other illegal "midnight" dumping (e.g., along roads, into streams and creeks, on

property in sparsely populated areas). Between January 1, 1988 and December 31, 1989, the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services reported 45 incidents of illegal dumping.10 4. LOCAL MANAGEMENT Local responsibility for hazardous materials lies with the Public Health Services and the Office of Emergency Services.



Public Health Services. The County Board of Supervisors has designated San Joaquin County Public Health Services as the local agency responsible for the administration and enforcement of hazardous material regulations. The Environmental Health Division of Public Health Services has four areas of concern in its waste management program: 1) hazardous wastes, 2) underground storage tanks, 3) emergency services response, and 4) infectious wastes. Public Health Services is responsible for the local implementation of the Sher Bill (Health and Safety Code Section 25280-25289) which regulates the storage of hazardous liquids in underground storage tanks. Generally, the program requires that all facilities storing hazardous substances in underground tanks have a permit and that the storage tanks meet minimum design standards set by Public Health Services. Office of Emergency Services. The responsibility of the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services (OES) includes effective planning for emergencies including those related to nuclear power plants and hazardous material incidents. In the area of hazardous materials, the OES coordinates planning, responds to emergencies, improves procedures for notification and response times for agencies involved in incidents, provides training for first responders, businesses, and other governmental agencies including Public Health Services and the Public Works Department. Hazardous materials training includes such topics as decontamination procedures and techniques, chemical identification of unknown materials, basic awareness, protective clothing and sampling techniques. OES has participated in preparation of an emergency response plan for the Rancho Seco nuclear power plant operated by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). Because Rancho Seco presents a potential radiation hazard, periodic exercises are held to ensure that responsible agencies are able to protect the public in case of an emergency.11 The County Board of Supervisors designated the Office of Emergency Services as the lead agency in the development and implementation of a county hazardous material management plan. A.B. 2185, chaptered in the California Health and Safety Code Sections 25500-25545, creates a substantial local role in the regulation of hazardous materials handling and spills. The County is required by law to prepare and implement the following provisions.

• Establish an inventory and information system of storage and location of hazardous materials within the county;

• All facilities storing hazardous materials and wastes in specific quantities on-site must file a Hazardous Materials Management Plan with the Office of Emergency Services;

• Business plans approved by the Office of Emergency Services shall be required of all companies using hazardous materials or generating hazardous wastes. New uses involving hazardous materials or wastes shall not be permitted without an approved business plan. These plans would map and inventory all hazardous materials, and contain a contingency plan for accidents;



• Financial responsibility for spills or unauthorized discharge of hazardous materials would rest with the user. Adequate assurances of financial responsibility shall be required;

• Information shall be available to the public, to the extent permitted by California Public

Records Act and other applicable laws; and • Prepare area response plans that will incorporate inventory data, training for

emergency responses, and evacuation plans. • All facilities generating hazardous waste must obtain an EPA number and must be

registered with the State Department of Health Services and with Public Health Services.

San Joaquin County Toxic Task Force. In September 1985, the San Joaquin County Toxic Task Force was formed. Its purpose is to: • Provide a public forum concerning toxic hazards in San Joaquin County and the risks

the toxics pose to public health; • Review problems of pollution from other neighboring counties; • Prevent toxic sites by reviewing factors local agencies should consider before

approving projects; • Monitor status of toxic contamination in the County by reviewing toxic regulating

agencies; and • Make recommendations regarding ways to improve effectiveness of toxic regulatory

activities and provide County residents with accurate, timely information on toxic hazards.12

Uniform Fire Code. San Joaquin County has adopted the Uniform Fire Code. The adoption of the Code permits regulation of hazardous chemicals that may become fire hazards. Article 80 of the 1970 edition of the Uniform Fire Code is concerned specifically with storage, transport, and handling of hazardous chemicals. The fire code is implemented by the County Fire Warden, the fire districts, and the County Building Division. Land Use Planning. Some aspects of hazardous material management can be controlled through land use planning and, specifically, the processing of permits. In the planning permit process, two main tools are available for regulating potential hazards caused by the use of hazardous chemicals by various land uses, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process and the discretionary land use permit.



CEQA. The CEQA process allows for the gathering of information so that a determination can be made regarding the significant adverse environmental impacts of a project. An environmental impact report could be required as part of this process. If negative impacts are identified mitigation measures can be found and applied as conditions on a discretionary permit. In other words, if hazardous conditions exist from a proposed land use concerning, for example, hazardous materials, conditions can be placed on the discretionary permit to mitigate any potential hazard. Discretionary Permit. A discretionary land use permit allows a planning agency to deny, approve, or approve with conditions a proposed project based on given data, ordinance requirements, and adopted policies. Information about known hazardous materials associated with the proposed use can be analyzed and a decision made concerning their use. There are at least three other ways land use planning can be involved in hazardous materials management: risk assessment, a right-to-know ordinance, and identification of locations of hazardous materials sites of existing or potential health hazard. Risk Assessment. Risk assessment can be used to determine the kinds and types of exposure expected from a use; populations that could be exposed to hazard; a safety analysis of the use; and health risk, and acute and chronic health impacts. Right-to-Know Ordinance. A right-to-know ordinance is intended to allow a community to gather information on how hazardous material is used and handled in its area. This basic information is used to develop appropriate strategies to minimize and prevent potential hazardous material exposures. The authority for the County to establish a right-to-know ordinance exists under Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety Code and under Superfund Amendment and reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986. By appointment of the Board of Supervisors, the office of Emergency Services administers the right-to-know ordinance locally. A Disclosure Information System provides the following:

• The chemical names of hazardous substances and the types of hazardous wastes used, stored, handled, produced and released in the County by specific location;

• The approximate quantities of hazardous materials used, stored, handled, produced and released in the County by specific location; and

• The known chemical properties, health and emergency response information that is available on the hazardous material in the County.

This type of information is needed and can be used by firefighters, health, officers, community residents, medical providers, law enforcement personnel, land use planners, and elected officials. The information could be used in:



• Emergency response and cleanup activities;

• Pre-emergency response planning and training;

• Long range policy and planning activities;

• Enforcement and surveillance programs; and • Public information dissemination programs.13 Hazardous Site Identification. Through the collection of hazardous material information available from Federal, State and local agencies, a list and/or map of known hazardous waste user and abuser sites can be produced to identify these sites for land use planning purposes (e.g., Hazardous Waste Facility Permits, State listing of Potential Hazardous Waste Properties, the State Abandoned Sites program list, State and Federal Superfund lists, local list of small hazardous waste generators). Once locations are known to local officials analysis and action can be taken, both from a planning standpoint and a political standpoint. 5. HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES Hazardous Waste Facility Permits. The Department of Health Services (DOHS), Toxic Substances Control Division, is authorized by the EPA to issue Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) equivalent permits to facilities that store and/or treat hazardous wastes in tanks and containers. The DOHS is also authorized under the California Administration Code to issue its own type of hazardous waste permit. Both the State and the RCRA hazardous waste permits usually are known as Hazardous Waste Facility Permits. Hazardous Waste Facility Permits are issued for the storage, treatment, or disposal (ponds and piles) of hazardous waste.9 Within San Joaquin County, two Hazardous Waste Facility Permits have been issued and two permits are under study. The permits issued are for McCormick and Baxter Creosoting Company and Tracy Defense Depot. McCormick and Baxter, located at Pershing and Washington Streets, in Stockton, operates a wood preserving facility that produces waste on site, primarily waste liquids and sludges. These wastes are periodically transported to a Class I site outside the County for disposal.14 Tracy Defense Depot, located on Chrisman Road southeast of the city of Tracy, has been issued a container storage permit by DOHS. The general types of waste handled include motor oils, other petroleum products, solvents, process chemicals, and other chemicals that have passed their shelf-life. All potential hazardous wastes are either resold, recycled, or transported to a Class I site for disposal.14



The two hazardous waste permits under study by DOHS are temporary storage facilities for PCB transformers at the Stockton Development Center and Deuel Vocational Institution.14 Potential Hazardous Waste Properties. The Toxic Substances Control Division of DOHS has prepared a list of potential hazardous waste properties. The list was compiled after review of federal and state applications for hazardous waste facility permits. Generally, facilities selected for inclusion on the list of potential hazardous waste properties indicated on their federal or state applications for a hazardous waste facility permit that they either dispose to the land, or would potentially dispose to land through treatment or storage in surface ponds, waste piles, or land treatment. The listed facilities are removed from the list if they are issued a hazardous waste facility permit that indicates that their operation includes only storage or treatment of hazardous waste and does not include disposal. The following is a list of Potential Hazardous Waste Properties as of May 29, 1984:14 1. Forward Incorporated, Austin Road, seven miles southeast of Stockton, CA. 2. J.R. Simplot, 16777 Howland Road, Lathrop, CA. 3. Lawrence Livermore Lab - Site 300, Corral Hollow Road, Livermore, CA. 4. Physics International Co., Three and 2/10 miles west of I-580 Corral Hollow Rd. Tracy,

CA. 5. Sharpe Army Depot, Roth Road, Lathrop, CA. DOHS Listing of Hazardous Waste Sites. The Health and Safety Code was amended by AB 129 in 1985, This law requires the Department of Health Services (DOHS) to develop a site-specific expenditure plan for appropriation from the Hazardous Substance Cleanup Bond Act funds. This amendment to the Code eliminated the former State Priority Ranking List (SPRL) of hazardous sites and replaces it with a new listing consisting of three categories of sites. The last SPRL was issued by the State in October 1985 and contained 222 sites.14 AB 129. The listing mandated by AB 129 contains three categories of sites (as of May 1986): 1. These Category 1 sites in San Joaquin County are being remediated by the

responsible parties pursuant to and in conformance with a cleanup order or agreement with DOHS.

a. Lika Corp., Field Avenue Annex b. Lika Corp., Navy Drive Facility c. McCormick and Baxter d. Acme Galvanizing f. Arcady Oil/ SP Pipeline



g. Kearney KPF h. Lustre-Cal 2. Lague Sales is the only Category 2 site in San Joaquin County being studied for cleanup by

DOHS where there are no identifiable responsible parties or the responsible parties have failed to comply with a cleanup order or agreement. The sites are finally transferred to Category 1 or 3.

3. There are no sites in San Joaquin County that have been fully studied by DOHS and are

priority ranked for state-funded clean-up. National Priorities List. The DOHS also lists separately those National Priorities List (NPL) sites not included in the above lists. Marley Cooling Tower Company has been designated an NPL site. NPL sites are also RCRA enforcement/closure sites, the responsibility of EPA. Federal Facility Clean-Up Sites. The following list of sites maintained by DOHS are Federal Facility Clean-up workplan sites. 1. Tracy Defense Depot 2. Naval Communications Center, Rough & Ready 3. Sharpe Army Depot Uncategorized Sites. The DOHS maintains a separate list of uncategorized sites. Initially, these sites represented those sites on the SPRL that did not fit the AB 129 categories. These sites are all known hazardous waste sites which have been formally evaluated and confirmed by DOHS, but not yet categorized. 1. Brea Agricultural Services 2. Lodi (Linds) Airport 3. Lodi Door and Metal Company 4. Southern Pacific Transportation Co., French Camp Potential Hazardous Sites. The DOHS also maintains a list of reported hazardous waste sites that have not been fully documented. These sites have been identified by responsible parties but have not been formally evaluated by DOHS. 1. America Forest Products - Stockton 2. Georgia Pacific - Tracy



6. LANDFILLS A risk of contamination from hazardous waste disposal exists at the County's solid waste disposal facilities. The contamination risk is two-fold, illegal dumping and disposal of household hazardous waste, e.g., household cleaners, household chemicals, and used motor oils. In December 1982, Tracy Defense Depot mistakenly dumped 12,000 pounds of barium hydroxide lime (a hazardous chemical) into the Corral Hollow Landfill. The hazardous chemical was removed from the landfill and taken to a Class I landfill.15 A controlled monitoring program of waste disposal in the County's landfills is required. Hazardous Materials in Underground Containers. Underground storage containers have been found to be a source of contamination of soil and groundwater. Owners of underground containers holding hazardous materials are required by the Sher Bill (Health and Safety Code Section 25280-25289) to register their underground containers. The registration law covers tanks, pits, ponds, and lagoons that are partially below ground level and which are used to store gasoline, solvents, petroleum wastes, industrial chemicals or other hazardous materials.8 The underground containers registration program will be followed by a regulation program to be implemented by cities and counties. The County Board of Supervisors has directed that the San Joaquin Public Health Services be the County agency responsible. Under the program, those who own underground tanks must have adequate leak detection, maintain records, and report spills. New tanks must be properly constructed under State or locally developed guidelines. Other containers (not underground) such as pits, ponds and lagoons, are covered by State legislation, and regulations recently adopted by the State Water Regional Water Control Boards, which are implementing this program.
