COUNTY Butte County Planning Z 9 203 7.County Center Drive ,,k;v�L0FMEN i Oroville, CA 95965 ; SERVICES Subject: Oroville Gold LLC — Project Description , Dear Mr. Walker: The u ose of this letter is to rovide our de artment with a Pro ect Descri tion as per our re uest P rP P Y P J P P Y q on the proposed future use of a group of,properties located at and around Ophir Road in Oroville; and _- owned Oroville Landfill Properties, LLC. et al. • Oroville Gold, LLC, will be an organic composting facility located on property"currently permitted for use as a wood waste landfill utilized by Louisiana Pacific Sawmill, The portion of the property that ' will be the home of the new compost facility has never been used as a Waste Management Unit and is in the process of being removed from the landfill permit. The proposed project facilities will occupy, - approximately 63.3 acres of the existing permitted landfill property. Though the precise location of the various composting operations has not yet been identified, Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APNs) 078 100-015, 078-100-046, 078-100-047, 078-090-014, and 035-470-012 and will all potentially be used for different operational purposes: ' t The•project site is located due east of Highway 70. The projectarea is triangular in shape and is bordered by Ophir Road to the south; the Union Pacific railway line to the west; and the abandoned Southern Pacific railway right of way to the east. A map is enclosed which shows the general vicinity ' for your ease of reference. " There are existing -waste discharge requirements (WDR) on APN 078-100-015& =046, and 078-090- r ' 014. Waste disposal had never occurred on APNs 078=100-047 & 035-470-012: Consequently, SCS Engineers (SCS) worked with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and these two parcels were removed from the scope of the original landfill WDR. Currently there is also a provision ; in the WDR which enables the removal of APN 078-090-14. The analytical work required to facilitate this is completed and has been submitted to the RWQCB. A lot line adjustment is also underway, and the ultimate aim is to amend the WDR to reflect the new parcel configurations. The existing Waste Management Units are being clean closed. Some of the material will be extracted and used by the ' composting facility; the remaining material will be used in other ways, for example as a fuel for cogeneration"plants. Therefore, the end result will be a clear demarcation between the landfill WDRs w and the RWQCB requirements for the composting facility. The parcels are currently zoned M-2 (Heavy Industrial). The proposed composting operation will take an existing supply of wood waste and combine it with other locally generated organic, non -hazardous = waste material. Through the use of Pathogen Reduction Windrows, Aerated Static Piles and other composting techniques, the material will be recycled into premium quality compost. As well as recycling the wood waste material, the facility will become an important cornerstone of Butte County's waste diversion efforts. It will be able to take a variety of different waste streams and divert theni'away from landfill, ultimately assisting the County in meeting the mandated level of waste diversion imposed by AB 939 some years•ago. In particular, Oroville Gold will provide a safe and " Page 2 of 2 convenient location for the recycling of the many agricultural and other wastes generated in the County. Furthermore, the organic compost produced will be reused by the local agricultural community. The existing permitted uses on the property clearly and adequately cover the proposed composting activity. Operations at the site will be compatible with the heavy industrial zoning of the surrounding property. Many of the enumerated permitted uses in a heavy industrial zone have significant potential impacts on the surrounding environment; for example, breweries and distilleries, concrete batch plants, metal fabrication, fuel yards and agricultural processing plants are all allowed in the M-2 zone. Additionally, the manufacture of fertilizer, the use which most closely reflects the manufacture of compost, is a permitted use in an. M-1 district and therefore is expressly included in M-2 districts (24- 180 (a)(1)). Finally, the composting of waste material is clearly pertinent to the existing permitted use of landfilling waste on the property and therefore may also be considered an Accessory Use under the County's Zoning Ordinance, Article III, 24-180 (b)(3). Commercial composting has many synergies with landfill operations; indeed, the two processes are frequently carried out in tandem with many waste management companies also operating as composters. The likely impacts of the operation are not significantly different from the impacts of a landfill operation: Dust control, odor mitigation, traffic volumes, and leachate and stormwater collection will all continue to be the focus of the primary management and operational controls. The approximately 66 -acre area that will be dedicated to composting is located at least half a mile from any residential districts, the majority of which are low-density Agricultural -Residential parcels. In short, a composting operation does not present any special or greater risk to the environment. I trust this description of the proposed project is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like any more details or if I can be of any further assistance. Project Manager SCS ENGINEERS C.C. Mr. S.

The parcels are shown on Figure 2. The area outlined in magenta on Figure 2 will be surveyed and a formal request to have it withdrawal from the requirements of the WDR will be submitted with the final documentation for APN 078-0907-04. WMR -2 on APN 078-100-046 will be clean closed first providing additional expansion area for the composting facility's future growth. 3 ' 3. Surrounding Land Use ' The former Louisiana Pacific Sawmill Class 3 landfill is located to the immediate north of the composting operation; Southern Pacific Railroad, then vacant and light industrial land to the east; Ophir Road and Norcal metal fabrication, a scrap yard, and other light industrial facilities to the south. Union Pacific Railroad, light industrial and Marysville-Baggett Road are located to the west. C. QUANTITY AND TYPES OF MATERIALS TO BE ACCEPTED ' California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) regulations governing this type of facility have recently changed (2003). The "Notification Tier" allows for a green material (which includes wood waste) composting operation to have up to 12,500 cubic yards of compostable materials (delivered feedstock, active, and finished compost) on-site at any. one ' time.. 1 The daily operations at this facility consist of receiving, processing and composting of compost feedstocks, receiving and processing and stockpiling of other materials, material grinding, turning active compost, materials screening, materials blending, and loading of materials for delivery. General field office operations, minor laboratory operations, and minor equipment repair and maintenance, will also take place on site. Incoming materials will include wood waste materials currently landfilled in the nearby two. ' former Louisiana Pacific Sawmill Class 3 landfill Waste Management Units (Wmus) #1, and #2 (Figure 2). WMU #4 contains wood ash that will also be incorporated into the composting process. Other materials brought into the facility will include manure from poultry'ranches and dairies; and other agricultural material; including plant trimmings, culled fruit and green materials from residential, commercial and industrial sources. The WMUs are being closed under Waste Discharge Requirements/Monitoring & Reporting Program for Clean -Closure, Order No. R5-2007-0042, adopted on May 4, 2007. D. HOURS OF OPERATION The compost facility will be operated from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., six days per week with the exception of major holidays. ' II. COMPOSTING FACILITY OPERATIONS A. PROJECT DESCRIPTON Two waste management units (WMUs) consist of various types -of wood waste including ' sawdust, chips, bark, and cleanings from the log decks, and cover materials. As part of clean closure of the landfill, Oroville Landfill Properties, Inc. will be excavating the wood materials from two of the WMUs (WMU #1 and WNW #2). Some of this excavated material will be ' processed and trucked directly off-site to off-site markets like biomass fuel. WW #4 contains wood ash from the former Louisiana Pacific Sawmill co -generation boiler. A'portion of the excavated materials from the WMUs will be delivered to the compost site where they will be ' blended with the appropriate nitrogen sources (which may include manure from poultry ranches and dairies; and other agricultural material-, including plant trimmings, culled fruit and green materials from residential, commercial and industrial sources residential and commercial green material, and other material not yet identified, from Oroville and the surrounding communities), and composted. The finished compost will be sold into various horticultural, landscaping, and erosion control markets: Oroville Gold LLC (Oroville Gold) is proposing to initiate green material/wood waste ' composting operations and is submitting this "Notification" tier application in support of that. application. The facility will be a turned windrow and static pile composting facility. ' An overview of the Facility is provided in the following table Facility Overview Parameter Figure 2 Facility Operator Oroville Gold LLC Landowner Oroville Landfill Properties, LP; Jack M. Steebles . LLC; Carol Ann Seidenglanz LLC, and Steven Conti Seidenglanz LLC. Facility type Green material composting facility Feedstock Green material and wood waste Size of Compost Facility Approximately 5.5 acres during notification and expanding to 44 acres with "receipt of a full solid waste ermit. Size of entire site Appr6ximately 44 acres. Environmental Health Controls California Code of Regulations, Title 14 Com ostable Material Handling Regulations Water Quality Controls Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Waste Discharge Requirements for the Landfill Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Order,.#R5-2005-0027) Air Quality Controls Butte County Air Quality Management Board Operations at the facility entail the following major processing steps: f 'L' Excavating and/or Receiving ' Compost feedstocks will include excavated wood waste materials from the three WMUs location on the site and off-site green and agricultural material delivered to the site. The excavated wood materials will be transported to the composting operation using trucks. Incoming vehicles carrying unprocessed green material will be received and the site ' attendant will direct haulers of green material to the receiving area, 2. Load Checldng The wood waste and wood ash recovery operation will be conducted at the WMUs. Excavated material from the WMUs will be separated and handled under the existing WDR. The wood waste and wood ash transported to Oroville Gold from the WMUs will be tested, prior to being accepted at Oroville Gold, in compliance with the WDR requirements. Loads of green material received at the scale will be randomly checked based on volume. Initially this is likely to result in one written load check per day. Each load will be inspected, tagged and when off loaded will be checked again and unacceptable material will be reloaded and removed from the facility. 3. Grinding Incoming green material feedstock will be processed using a large grinder, either a dedicated unit or a contract grinder..A front-end loader will be used to feed the material ' to the grinder. The front-end loader operator performs another visual load check prior .to processing to ensure that foreign material that may damage any equipment is not loaded into the grinder. It is not known how much of the excavated material will require ' grinding, if any. Some of the excavated material may be processed using the grinder and sold directly as cogeneration fuel, landscaping material, playground cover, mulch, and/or erosion control materials. ■ 4. Composting ' Processed and/or excavated feedstock will be formed into elongated piles (windrows) for approximately 15 days and then placed in aerated static piles. Water may be added at the beginning of the process and will be added periodically to adjust moisture content: In addition, higher nitrogen feedstocks like green material and/or manure may be added to adjust the carbon to nitrogen ratio. Windrows will be turned initially with front-end loaders. The facility may ultimately purchase a specialized windrow turner if ' volumes/throughputs dictate. Material will undergo a pathogen reduction process [five turnings in 15 days during which temperatures are maintained at or above 132° F (55° Q. Windrows will be turned and possibly combined if necessary to conserve space. ' Residence time of a typical windrow will vary based on management intensity, time of year, weather, and other factors, but will, be a minimum of 15 days. For every 5,000 cubic yards of compost produced, a composite sample will be analyzed for heavy metals, 6 (arsenic,. cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, and zinc_); salmonella, and fecal coliform.. 5.. Cui-ing/Screening Finished compost may be cured in a discrete curing .pile or may be cured in place. Some compost may be screened according to market demand. Screened compost may be stored on-site. 6. Load out, Finished compost will be loaded into trucks for delivery.. Front-end loaderS.will be used to load transfer trailers or smaller trucks, which deliver the material. 7. Security The facility is staffed at all times during operating hours and the gates locked during non operating hours.. 8. Recordkeeping . 'Daily incoming volume records (both incoming green_ material and excavated material delivered to the compost site) will be maintained by the staff. Records of pathogen reduction and heavy metals content will also be maintained at the facility administration office..The site will, keep a Log of Special Occurrences, which will Abe used to log any unusual circumstances or activities at the compost site. B. CONTINGENCY PLANS 1. Equipment Failure The facility will initiate operations using .common material handling equipment (primarily front-end loaders), which is easily replaced by rental equipment in case of equipment failure. Initially, grinding will occur using contract grinding services. Once, the ' facility purchases a full-time grinder, .contract -grinding services will be used in the case of equipment failure. 7 2. Unusual Peak Loading In an unusual peak -loading situation (of delivered green materials), the facility could utilize additional contract grinding services for processing capacity. C. MATERIALS HANDLING ACTIVITIES : 1. Confined Unloading There are no confined unloading activities at the facility.. Delivery vehicles are directed to appropriate areas by facility personnel. Unloading activities of incoming materials .takes place at or near processing.locations. Unloading of additive and other materials may occur at storage locations. The high,moisture content of most incoming material prevents windblown distribution. Water spray equipment is available at near unloading areas for dust and -particulate suppression as needed during dry material unloading. Such materials are covered as required. 2. Material Preparation Some .materials require grinding prior to incorporation into the windrows, while some do not. Material is ground as necessary. Other materials, specifically lime, require drying before ' stockpiling. This is accomplished by spreading the material out in order to accelerate drying. Some curbside green waste arrives in an anaerobic state. This material is ground as soon as possible with more carbonaceous material in order to eliminate the anaerobic conditions. 4. Housekeeping Materials necessary for the daily operations of the facility are stored in a neat and orderly fashion. Other materials and supplies are either covered or placed in designated areas tdedicated to storage or stockpiling. Waste materials that need to be removed from the site are stored until a sufficient quantity is accumulated for economic hauling. Regularly scheduled employee training emphasizes the importance of good housekeeping practices, �.` particularly as it relates to health, safety and environmental quality. S 5. Quench or Process Water Water requirements vary widely as a function of ambient conditions and•the moisture content of incoming feedstocks. Maximum water demand may be as much as 50,000 gallons -per day when the facility is operating. at full capacity. This includes sufficient water to maintain adequate moisture levels in the active compost and water for dust suppression. The facility will receive its water from: a. The Feather River Water District. b. Oroville Gold LLC will drill a new supply for the composting facility in the future. C* Liquids, if present_ during the landfill recover operation of the .Oroville Landfill Properties, Inc. WMUs will be used on the compost after ineeting.the Oroville Landfill Properties, LP WDR testing requirements. d. Additional sources of liquids will be included with receipt of a full sold waste permit. D. COMPOSTING FACILITY CONTROLS 1. Vector Control Conditions at the facility are not attractive to rats and mice; so they are not anticipated to be a problem. Receipt of fresh manure is not a source of flies unless it remains unprocessed for more than a week, the gestation period for flies. Any manure received at the facility will be processed as quickly as possible on arrival at the site. 'The composting of the manure.ensures, a total kill of the eggs. 2. Noise Control Equipment noise levels at the facility do not exceed commercially accepted practice. The site is buffered by the surrounding trees, railroad and roadways from the other commercial and industrial operations in the vicinity of the facility. Facility personnel are provided with hearing protection equipment pursuant to State law and OSHA regulations. 3. Dust Control A water truck is used to wet unpaved portions of the access road and high traffic areas at the site as needed. Water and equipment for dust suppression is available at grinding, screening and dry material unloading operations area. ' E. HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM 7 L Sanitary Facilities Permanent sanitary facilities are located in the existing building that will be used as the Oroville Gold LLC office (Figure 2). Leased portable toilets will be provided near. work areas_ as needed. 2: Water Supply ' Portable-water is supplied by Feather River Water Corporation. A supply well will be drilled ` in.the future'as. an additional source of water. III.

Plan (GIMP). Oroville Gold LLC, a proposed composting facility located in Oroville, California, developed this OIMP to provide best -management practices (BMPs) for odor reduction to on-site personnel in regard to ' - the handling, storage and processing of conipostable materials. Facility Location: The site is located southeast of the City of Oroville, Butte County, California. ' The facility is located in the NE'/4 of the Palermo 7.5' Quadrangle at the juncture of Sections 29, 30, 31, and 332, Township 19 North and Range 4 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian (Figure 1). The site is bound by Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad rights of way on the west, north, and east, and by Ophir Road on the south. Access to the site is from the south via Ophir Road and north on the interior property road. ' An operational focal point of Oroville Gold LLC LLC will be the reclamation of various types of wood waste including sawdust, chips, bark, cleanings from the. log decks, ash and cover materials from three waste management units (WMUs) located adjacent to the proposed ' composting facility. This carbon -rich wood waste will be composted through the addition and regulation of moisture and nitrogen -rich feedstocks. Wood ash will also be recovered from the WMUs. The stockpiling of feedstocks and the composting process could possibly be a source of ' odors detectable in the vicinity of the compost facility. By implementing this GIMP, Oroville Gold LLC will be able to minimize the environmental conditions favorable to the production of these odors. The OIMP is to be used as a training tool for Oroville Gold LLC personnel, and as ' public relations document to address any concerns of community members. The following provides specific information on compliance with § 17863.4 (b) -(d). The text from Title 14 (Appendix 1) is presented in italics followed by Oroville Gold LLC's proposed method of compliance. (b) Odor impact minimization plans shall provide guidance to on-site operation personnel by describing, at a minimum, the following items. If the operator will not be implementing any of these procedures, the plan shall explain why it is not necessary. 2 ODOR MONITORING PROTOCOL (1) An odor monitoring protocol which describes theroximi ossible odor receptors P tJ' o .fP tors P and a method for assessing odor impacts at the locations of the possible odor receptors; Proximity of Odor Receptors s ' The former Louisiana Pacific Sawmill Class 3 landfill is located to the immediate north of the composting operation; Southern Pacific Railroad, then vacant and light industrial land to the east; Ophir Road and Norcal metal fabrication, a scrap yard, and other light industrial facilities to the south. Union Pacific Railroad, light industrial and Marysvale-Baggett Road are located to the west. The closest residences are approximately a half mile to the south, directly upwind of the prevailing SSE wind direction (Appendix 2). Method for Assessing Odor Impacts Odor impacts will be assessed qualitatively by facility personnel, on-site visitors, and neighbors. Facility personnel will be the first line of detection of nuisance odors, and will be the most heavily impacted. Through training and experience, facility personnel should be able to identify the odor sources and remediate them as needed. They will be familiar with the circumstances of the operation that potentially may lead to the release of objectionable odors. Ifquestionable or objectionable on-site odors are detected by site personnel, the facility operator will implement the following protocol: 1. Investigate and determine the likely source of the odor. 2. Assess the effectiveness of available on-site management practices to resolve the odor ' event and immediately take steps to reduce the odor -generating capacity of on-site material. (Possible on-site odor sources and BMPs, for this site are shown in Appendix 3.) 3. Determine if the odor traveled -off-site by surveying the site perimeter and noting existing wind patterns. 4. Determine whether or not the odor event (or potential odor event) is significant enough to warrant contacting the neighbors and/or the local enforcement agency (LEA). 5. Record the event and any corrective actions taken for further operational review. ' 3 METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (2) A description of meteorological conditions effecting migration of odors and/or transport of odor -causing material off-site. Seasonal variations that effect wind velocity and direction shall also be described; ' Wind Velocity and Wind Direction The weather station at the Oroville Airport, located approximately 3.5 miles from the Oroville Gold LLC facility, showed the average prevailing wind direction to be from the south southeast for the period 1992 to 2002. This was the prevailing direction for every month except September ' and October, where the wind was predominantly from the east. The average wind speed was 6.4 mph for the period 1996 to 2006 (Appendix.2). This wind direction limits the exposure of odors to the closest residential area, approximately one half mile to the southeast (directly upwind). In the downwind direction, there are no residential sites within two miles, with several other ' industrial sites interspersed between them and the compost facility. Precipitation The Oroville,area receives an average of 26.8 inches of precipitation annually, the majority, between November and April. January has the highest average monthly rainfall of 5.53 inches ' (Appendix 2). With the proper grading and drainage proposed for the site and compostable material management, this amount of rainfall should not lead to anaerobic, odor -causing . conditions. 4 COMPLAINT RESPONSE PROTOCOL (3) 4 complaint response protocol; 1. Should the LEA receive a complaint, they will notify the facility operator as soon as possible. During working hours; this will be the Oroville Gold LLC operations office at (530)53-3-1221. After working hours, this will be the Oroville Gold LLC operations ' office at (530) 518-8842. 2. Should the operator receive the complaint, they will log'the event for later LEA review.. The LEA and the facility operator will go to the location of the complaint to verify that. the Oroville Gold LLC facility is indeed the source of the odor and will attempt to characterize the odor so that they can trace the odor back to a specific operation or area of the Oroville Gold LLC facility. 3. The facility operator will document the complaint(s) in the Site Operations Log. 4. The facility operator will assess the complaint and the nature of the source of the odor complaint and will make a recommendation to the LEA within 24 hours of receiving the complaint or within 48 hours should the complaint be received on a weekend or holiday. 5. If the Oroville Gold LLC site is determined to be the source of the odor, the facility ' operator will implement one or more of the BMPs listed in Appendix 3. 6. The facility operator will contact the complainant (if known) to ascertain the success of ' the'action. If necessary, the facility operator, LEA, and the complainant (should -they choose to participate) will meet within a reasonable time frame to' assess. the cause, corrective action taken, and result achieved in regards to the complaint. 7. Results and actions will be documented in the Site Operations Log, which will serve as the compost facility's permanent record. 5 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND OPERATING ' PROCEDURES FOR MINIMIZING ODORS (4).A description of design. considerations and/or projected ranges of optimal operation to be employed in minimizing odor, including method and degree of aeration, moisture content of materials, feedstock characteristics, airborne emission production, process_ water distribution, pad and site drainage and permeability, equipment reliability, personnel training, weather event impacts, utility service interruptions, and site specific concerns; and, (5),4 description of operating procedures for minimizing odor, including aeration, moisture management, feedstock quality, drainage controls, pad maintenance, wastewaterpond controls, storage practices (e.g., storage time and pile geometry), contingency plans (e.g., equipment, water, power, and personnel), biofiltration, and. tarping. Facility Design The Oroville Gold LLC facility was designed as a,combination of a traditional turned windrow composting operation utilizing natural aeration and aerated static pile. The initial 5.5 -acre (3.0 acre composting pad with 2.5 acres for processing) composting site (once a full solid waste permit is received the site will be expanded to 44 acres) will include a 3.0 concrete composting ' pad. The pad will be designed by a licensed civil engineer and be sloped to preclude ponding conditions. The sloped concrete pad will allow the windrows to be managed for odor reduction even in the winter months and leachate collection. Excess leachate will be collected .via an 18- inch drain line and stored in a leachate pond for reuse in maintaining pile moisture. Aeration Maintaining aerobic conditions in the windrows is essential to odor management. Aerobic conditions will be promoted by grinding feedstocks to consistent particle size, turning the windrows as the composting process dictates, and controlling windrow size to a height of 6 to 9 ' feet. Variant particle size and turning promote adequate pile porosity. Coupled with windrows that have the correct surface to volume ratio, air is able to exchange throughout the pile, ' maintaining aerobic conditions (see Appendix 3 for specific parameters). Air will be forced through the static piles to maintain aerobic conditions. Moisture Content of Materials Water will be added to incoming feedstocks with available water spray equipment to achieve a windrowed moisture content of 40 to 60%, and windrow moisture will be maintained within this . range. This will minimize dust and other airborne emissions, significantly reducing the transport - of odor molecules. During the winter should precipitation raise the moisture content above 60% the windrows will be turned to dry them to preclude anaerobic conditions. Material Processing, Handling and Storage Practices The majority of the composting feedstock -will be excavated wood waste from two WMUs and d one ash WMU located adjacent to the proposed composting facility. The carbon -rich wood waste is relatively stable and not a significant source of odors. The ash will not be a source of nuisance odors. Nitrogen -rich green materials such as poultry manure, dairy manure and bedding, culled fruit, green waste, and other agricultural materials will be brought in; to promote the composting process; these materials are more susceptible to ammonia production and anaerobic conditions. Therefore, the nitrogen -rich materials will be ground and incorporated into windrows with a final carbon to nitrogen ratio. of 30:1 within 48 hours or immediately if the incoming material is particularly noxious. Overs will be ground with the incoming green waste to reduce odorst. Good housekeeping will be practiced; Unincorporated material between the windrows, another possible odor source, will be collected and reincorporated into newly formed windrows. Standing water will be absorbed with dry materials and incorporated into windrows. The concrete pad will be inspected and significant cracks will be repaired as needed to prevent material build up. Piles of curing compost can also be a source of strong odors if not properly aerated and allowed to go anaerobic. Piles can become anaerobic if made too large and if air is not pumped through them. To prevent piles from -becoming anaerobic, compost will only be stockpiled once completely cured. Air will be pumped through the larger piles. Personnel Training Oroville Gold LLC will provide regular training to new and existing employees regarding composting BMPs and odor management. Training will be conducted on a monthly basis and documented. Contingency Plans The facility will operate using common diesel powered material handling equipment (primarily front-end loaders), which are easily replaced by rental equipment in case of equipment failure. Initially; contract grinding services will be used for grinding. Once the facility. purchases a full- time grinder, contract -grinding services will be used in the case of equipment failure. 6 PLAN REVISION ' (c) The odor impact minimizationn plan shall be. revised to reflect any changes, and a copy shall be provided to the EA, within 30 days of those changes. (d) The odor impact minimization plans shall be reviewed annually by the operator to determine if any revisions are necessary.

The type of odor can give an indication of the root of the problem. More oxygen is needed to remedy these conditions; this is usually achieved by mixing or some other type of aeration. Table 1 sets out some of the main causes and potential remedies. Table 1: Causes and remedies for odor problems Jrtuation Ammonia odor Hydrogen Suyiide.(rotten eggs) or VFAs. Both odors indicate anaerobic conditions. Possible reason Clues High nitrogen C:N ration less than level 20:1 Carbon source not biologically available High pH Material too wet Poor structure Pile compacted Insufficient aeration Pile too large Airflow uneven or short circuiting Large woody particles, C:N ration less than 30:1 pH greater than 8 Low temperatures Add high carbon ingredients Increase available carbon content via leaves, straw, or smaller particle woodchips Lower pH with acidic ingredients (leaves) or avoid addine more alkaline material Add dry bulking agent Tum to remove moisture (also releases odors) Add bulking agent Remix pile and add bulking agent if necessary Decrease pile size High temperatures Remix pile so that it's smaller, change recipe Falling temperatures Shorten time between turnings Source: Phe On -Farm Composting Handbook, Northeast Regional Agricultural Engineering Service, 1992. Due to the carbon -rich nature of the wood wastes to be composted at Oroville Gold LLC (e.g. wood chips have a C:N of approximately 600:1), excess ammonia production should not be a i factor in the compost piles,'but may occur in the piles of nitrogen -rich feedstocks if they are not mixed in due time. ' The majority of nuisance odors produced in a composting operation are due to the existence of anaerobic conditions. Four things that commonly lead to anaerobic conditions are: excess moisture, inadequate porosity, excessive pile size, and a rapidly degrading feedstock (Cornell Waste Management Institute, 2005). Addressing the first three should resolve a majority of 112S and VFA gas production, as these are a direct result of anaerobic microbial metabolism. Rapidly ' degrading feedstock will be immediately mixed with bulking agent in order maintain to the necessary porosity and nitrogen levels. 10 It is generally accepted that the ideal moisture is between 140% and 60%: Incoming material will ' be sampled and the moisture content will be determined. • Water may be added upon mixing if the average moisture of.the feedstocks does not fall in this range. Wetter ingredients may be mixed with drier ones to achieve the proper moisture content. Excessive moisture blocks pore space in the pile and restricts the movement of oxygen. Adequate, porosity aids in the even distribution of oxygen throughout the pile and discourages ' anaerobic conditions. Feedstocks should be ground with a tub grinder to achieve a appropriate particle size, and compost windrows will be thoroughly mixed by either front loader or a specialized windrow turner Ito promote adequate porosity in the .windrow. ' Apart, from feedstock composition which will be discussed in the next section, pile size is an important factor in maintaining aerobic conditions. If the pile is too deep or high, oxygen will ' not reach the center of the pile before it is consumed and the center will become anaerobic therefore forced air will be used on these piles. ' Ammonia odors can be formed aerobically as well as anaerobically, so the above control strategies recommended for anaerobic odors may not apply. Ammonia is not pervasive, diffuses easily, and is less dense than air Therefore; it should not present an odor impact at any distance from the site, but could impact facility personnel. Ammonia (NH4) gas is produced as. a response ' of excess available nitrogen in the feedstock. More carbon -is needed to balance the feedstock, with the ideal carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio being 30:1. Ammonia production is only likely to be a factor in the nitrogen -rich feedstocks brought in to compost -the wood waste. This ' production will be minimized by rapidly incorporating the nitrogen -rich feedstocks into windrow piles with the, correct C:N ratio.

Thank you for providing a project description for.the composting facility for our consideration:. We have researched the proposed composting facility use outlined in your letter and find that, currently, it would not .be .a permitted use on the subject parcels due primarily to the fact that it is not consistent with post landfill closure requirement specified by 'Order No. R5-2007-0042 of ..the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB), Central Valley Region, also known as the Waste Discharge Requirements for the Oroville Landfill Properties. The composting facility` appears consistent and compatible with other uses permitted by Butte County Code (BCC) section 24=180(a)„within the M-2` (Heavy Industrial) zone in which it is located. Notwithstanding, operation of the composting facility contrary to the post landfill closure requirements currently in . effect constitutes a potential nuisance with the potential to . negatively impact adjoining properties, businesses, or residents, per BCC section 24-180-(c) (5), and would therefore require a use permit, subject to the approval of the Butte County Planning Commission. Unfortunately, it does not appear that staff would be able to recommend approval of a use permit if it were not consistent with an order of the CRWQCB. Seidenglaz Composting Facility' ; 'Use Determination Page 1 of 2 11 At such time as particular parcel(s) are not subject . to the post -closure requirements, or the use is consistent with some future amended post -closure requirements, then the use could be reconsidered as a permitted use. 1 r � One potential path toward establishing the proposed composting facility would be :to apply' for a compo_ '. a materials handling facilities permit (compost permit) from-- Butte County Environmental Health as well as applying for necessary revisions, to Waste.,Discharge Requirements from CRWQCB. Butte County could serve as'the, lead agency in preparing documents pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), subject to county -adopted fees,, for both aspects of the project. With these steps, it appears that the composting use would be a permitted use. Alternately, we understand that removing wood waste materials from the site for cogeneration., as'. previously discussed, is consistent with post closure requirements, and, is also a permitted use in the M-2 zone. Please let us know if we can'provide additional information or clarification. Sincerely, Micheal Huerta Title Environmental Health Dept. Pete Calarco Assistant Director Development. Services Dept.

Marina and I are currently in the process of setting up a meeting to discuss. 2) It would also be helpful to have a copy of the analytical work previously submitted to the RWQCB as well as any*status update. you may have. It would seem necessary to have this approved prior to undertaking the re -use of the wood waste. Apologies if this has previously been submitted to Brett. 3) Butte County Development Services is the lead agency for the Lot Line Adjustment you mention., I do not see any,LLA's submitted for the parcels in question. Assuming this is correct, what is the timing on submitting the LLA? 4) Even during these financially -challenging times the Department of Development Services is committed to making high quality services available to the public. However, the realities of our current budgetary constraints and recent staffing reductions make it necessary for us to more strictly monitor and manage our limited staff time resources. The Planning Division has found that most general planning questions from the public can be addressed with about'/4 hour of Planning staff time or one e-mail. When Department staff is asked -to respond to more extensive research or analysis, such as the use determination you are requesting, the Planning Division will assess the need to bill for the additional time needed to respond to such requests. For such services beyond the initial'/. hour of staff time or e-mail response, the Planning Division charges the cost of staff time, in increments at the rate of $157 per hour, from the person requesting the service. Payment in such instances is due as a deposit. prior to providing services. We estimate that the use determination you request will require approximately four hours of Department of Development Services' staff time. Please remit a check in the amount of $628 to process this request. Any unused funds will be returned to you. Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns or would like to discuss this further. 2/6/2009 Californi? Regional Water Quality Cr-1trol Boatd Central Valley Region Karl E.

The CountV.cannot approve a use permit that is inconsistent with an Order by the CRWQCB. - One potential path toward establishing the proposed composting. facility would be to apply for a compostable materials handling facilities permit (compost permit) from Butte County Environmental Health as well as applying for necessary revisions to Waste Discharge Requirements from CRWQCB. Butte' County could serve as the lead agency in preparing documents pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), subject to county -adopted fees, for both aspects of the project. With these steps, it appears that the composting use would be a permitted use. If you are interested in pursuing this path, please check with our department to request a zoning determination.

After the meeting, we decided that the application for Enforcement Agency (EA) Notifi- cation for Oroville Gold LLC can not be accepted at this time for the following reasons: The proposed composting operation shall be in conformance with'the closure plan or closure plan amended under review of RWQCB. Karen Clementsen Of RWQCB stated that you have to complete a Report of Waste Discharge Re- quirements (WDR) for the composting activity to be.authorized on-site prior to starting the operation. 2. Proposed activities take place on and around the closed landfill, so ground alter- ing activities shall be by governed by Minimum Standards for Solid Waste Han- dling and Disposal (Title 14 CCR Section 17406.1). A detailed description. of the site layout, feedstock excavation, vehicle routes and compost beds location shall be provided to ensure that it meets postclosure land use requirements pursuant to Title 27 CCR Section 21190. We can not determine compliance with this sec- tion from the Facility Layout Description presented in the Oroville Gold LLC Report of Composting Site Information ( p.3). 3. Pete Calarco of DDS expressed the need for a more complete description of the operation to determine if the project meets the requirements of C.EQA.

Negative Declarations, and EIRs This outline was developed by California Integrated Waste Management Board staff as a guide to Lead Agencies in the preparation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation, and to Responsible Agencies for their review of documentation for the construction and/or operation of a solid waste disposal facility requiring a full solid waste facility permit (SWFP) or a Standardized SWFP, under the CIWMB Regulatory Tiered Permit framework. All of the information is pertinent to the processing and issuance of.a full SWFP, or a Standardized SWFP, and is of great benefit. if discussed fully in an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or at an appropriate level of detail in a Negative Declaration (ND) or Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) developed for the issuance or revision of a SWFP. This outline is intended to assist the Lead Agency in the identification and consideration of issues that the Lead Agency might wish to.address in the preparation of their environmental documents (EDs), at the Lead Agency's discretion. This is not a list of issues that the CIWMB will require to be addressed in order to deem the ED adequate for CIWMB approval purposes. The appropriate level of detail for an ED should be determined by early consultation and cooperation between the Lead Agency, Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) and other Responsible Agencies, and is at the discretion of the Lead Agency.

Compliance with AB 314 and SB 749 7 1 CIWMB California Environmental Quality Act Review California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance is required for the establishment, expansion, or change in operation(s) of a Solid Waste Facility (SWF) requiring the issuance or revision of a full Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) or Standardized Permit. Under CEQA Guidelines, CCR Section 15096, the CIWMB acting as a Responsible Agency, is required to use the environmental document (ED) prepared by the Lead Agency in the CIWMB permit approval or concurrence process. Once the ED is completed by the Lead Agency, CIWMB staff, as a Responsible Agency, must determine whether or not the evaluation of potential environmental impacts assessed in the ED is adequate for CIWMB use in the permitting process. The purpose of CIWMB staff s review of an ED, during the preparation of the document, is to help decision -makers 1) identify potential impacts from proposed projects, 2) determine whether any such impacts are significant, and 3) ascertain whether significant impacts can be mitigated to a level of insignificance in compliance with the CEQA statutes and guidelines. In order for CIWMB staff to ascertain that the ED is adequate for our use in the permitting process, the proposed project must be described in sufficient detail and the potential environmental impacts that may result from the proposed project must be identified and evaluated clearly in the environmental assessment and offer "mitigating measures, if any, included in the project to avoid potentially significant effects" (CEQA Guidelines, Article 6, Section 15071 [e]). If the Lead Agency identifies a potential significant environmental impact but finds that the impact is less than significant or that no mitigation is available or necessary, supporting documentation and/or studies should be specifically referenced and be made available for review or included in the ED to support such analysis. CEQA Analysis and SWFP Conditions CEQA Guidelines (CCR) Section 15063(a)(1) states that: "All phases of project planning, implementation and operation must be considered in the Initial Study of the project." This consideration, when evaluating for a SWFP revision, should consider the potential environmental impacts of any changes in design and operation of the facility that were not specifically considered in the existing SWFP. When determining the adequacy of an ED'for purposes of SWFP concurrence, CIWMB staff will compare the design and operation of the facility as described in the SWFP with the project as described and evaluated in the ED. The first question is: does the CEQA evaluation for potential impacts resulting from the project thoroughly assess the potential primary and secondary impacts to the environment and/or public health and safety? The second question is: does the CEQA evaluation in the ED support the conditions of the proposed permit? For instance, does the ED also assess the potential traffic, noise, dust, vector and other impacts that can be associated with a significant increase in permitted 8 waste throughput requested in a SWFP? When this type of information is included and addressed in the ED, .the CEQA process is greatly facilitated. When this type of information is not included in the project description or elsewhere in the ED, it becomes very difficult for CIWMB staff to determine the adequacy of the ED for purposes of our environmental evaluation.
