Need for project: The addition of an organic compost facility will have enormous benefits for the local community, both economically and environmentally. The quantity of waste that can be recycled•and, most importantly, diverted away from landfills is limited only by the facility's operational capacity to process it. California's legislature has set high targets in its drive to reduce reliance on landfills. Local compost facilities in other California counties have been highly successful in helping local government achieve the waste diversion standards mandated by the State. Local businesses that are faced with increased regulations regarding how to manage their waste appropriately will have a viable option to recycle via composting available as early as this harvest and processing season. Oroville Gold will provide a quicker and less expensive option that does not involve the capital expense of infrastructure improvements at a time when many businesses are under considerable financial pressure. The compost produced will be a high-quality soil amendment that repairs and replenishes nutrient losses in the native soil. This will greatly assist the agricultural'growers in this area. Its local availability will reduce transportation costs, benefiting both growers and the environment. Furthermore, development of the facility will create new job opportunities (facility employees, trucking and associated services).' Finally, the recycling of landfill wood waste is both effective and environmentally productive as a means of assisting with the clean closure of the closed LP site. 5. Service projections for the life of the facility taking into account AB 939 waste diversion mandates The site will be capable of recycling 531 tons of material per day using a permitted 25 -acre composting pad. However, unlike a landfill facility, composting has an indefinite life span as no material accumulates onsite. As -demand increases, the composting area could be increased, subject to the necessary approvals, to help the County meet future increases to the waste diversion mandate. 160% 6.

The land uses which are authorized adjacent to, or near, the facility are compatible with the establishment, or expansion of, the solid waste disposal facility or transformation facility. 10. Initial Study and environmental checklist — See checklist below. A renal initial study will be completed by Planning Department using information provided below. II. Project Description 1. Site Description o topographical map — See Figure 5 o size of site (acres) — 68.7 with an active composting operations area of approximately 25 acres o site design, including but not limited to site/layout map, active compost area, feedstock storage areas, well locations, drainage features, and property boundaries — See Figure 3 o total site capacity for active compost (in cubic yards) A separate stockpile and retail sales area, approximately 6 acres in size will be located in the south west corner of the facility immediately west of the site entrance (Figure 3). The area has a maximum storage capacity of 47,000 cubic yards of finished compost. The active composting operation will utilize approximately 11 acres for the ASPS and/or Turned Windrows; the proposed areas for each process are approximately 6.3 acres for the ASPs and 4.6 acres for the turned windrows. An ASP system can receive approximately 6,700 cubic yards per acre of feedstocks; a turned windrow system will be able to receive approximately 2,400 cubic yards per acre of feedstock. This gives a maximum volume capacity of approximately 53,000 cubic yards. The volume of incoming feedstocks may be reduced by a factor of five by the end of the composting process. The composting process takes approximately 90 days to complete. After an initial start-up period, the facility will be able to take in 5 cubic yards of feedstock materials in order to produce 1 cubic yard of finished material; the maximum production capacity of the Oroville Gold compost facility will be the import of approximately 438,000 cubic yards of feedstock material per year, resulting in the production of approximately 88,000 cubic yards per year of compost. If the entire 11 acres were dedicated to the more space -efficient ASP method, the maximum production capacity would increase to an import of approximately 600,000 cubic yards of feedstock material per year, with the resultant production of approximately 120,000 cubic yards per year of compost. o average and maximum quantity of individual types of feedstock processed in tpd (green material, manure, MSW, wood chips, special waste etc.) Wood. Waste (532 lbs/cubic yd): 96 tons/day Agricultural Material: Cattle manure (1458 lbs/cubic yd): 52 tons/day Agricultural Material: Poultry manure (1400 Ibs/cubic yd): 52 tons/day Green Material (550 lbs/cubic yd): 65 tons/day Residential Food Material (1700 Ibs/cubic yard): 53 tons/day Commercial Food Material (2000 lbs/cubic yard): 113 tons/day These materials will be combined for composting in order that a Carbon to Nitrogen Ratio (C:N) of 30:1 is obtained. Using the average moisture values and dry -weight nitrogen and carbon compositions (http://compost.css.cornell.edu/Composting_homepage.html), this provides a mass ratio of 1.8: 1: 1 : 1.3: 1: 4.1 of wood waste: cattle manure: poultry manure: green waste: residential food waste: commercial food waste. The residential food waste was assumed to be comprised of 50% food waste and 50% green waste (EPA Municipal Solid Waste Generation, Recycling, and Disposal in the United States: Facts and Figures for 2008). This ratio may be adjusted depending on material availability. This gives a total estimated daily tonnage of 531 tons of feedstocks received once the facility is at full capacity. This in turn means that over the course of the facility's 264 operating days per year, approximately 140,000 tons of material (for 264 days a year) will be received. Assuming a volume reduction of approximately 80%, this will generate 28,000 tons (56,000,000 lbs) of compost. The quoted CIWMB conversion factor for compost is 800 /bs/cubic yard. 'Therefore, Oroville Gold will generate 70,000 cubic yards of compost per year. o maximum quantities of active compost, feedstocks, amendments, and additives on hand at one time (in cubic yards) Maximum estimated quantities (in cubic yards) are as follows: Estimated Estimated Maximum Maximum Stockpile Dimension Quantity (length x base x height Kept Onsite Storage Mntarial Mathnrt of Rtnrnna nt nankN I —firm (—Kir Ti—Ii— turned windrows windrows 2001 x 15'13 x 6'H TW 25,000 3 months aerated staticpiles- ASPs 7001 x 90'13 x 8'H ASP 62,500 3 months finished compost stockpile 5001 x 125'6 x 20'H FM 47,500 8 months wood waste stockpile 3001 x 80'B x 20'H SAA '11,278 indefinite cattle manure stock` pile 1201 x 30'13 x 15'H SAA .960' 2 weeks .poultry manure stockpile 601 x 30'13 x 15'H SAA 500 1 week green waste stockpile 5001 x 40'13 x 20'H SAA 7,273 1 month residential food waste stockpile/bins 351 x 20'13 x 10'H SAA 125. 2'days commercial food waste stockpile/bins 1201 x 20'B x 10'H SAA' 426 2 days .lime stockpile 201 x 20'13 x 10'H SAA 247 indefinite clean soils stockpile - 201 x 20'13 x 10'H SAA 95 indefinite clay stockpile 201 x 20'B x 10'H SAA 95 'indefinite blood meal barrels or pallets 41 x 4'B x 6'H/pallet SAA . 40 indefinite dolomitic limestone barrels or pallets 41 x 4'B x 6'H/pallet SAA 32 indefinite K2M SO, 2 barrels or pallets 41 x 4'B x 6'H/pallet SAA' 22 indefinite zinc sulfate barrels or pallets 41 x 4'13 x 6'H/pallet SAA 7 indefinite fish emulsion palleted tank . 41 x 4'13 x 6'H/pallet SAA 24 six months fish meal barrels or pallets 41 x 4'B x 6'H/pallet SAA1 40 indefinite reensand barrels or pallets 41 x 4'B x 6'H/pallet SAA. 17 indefinite gypsum stock ile 201 x 20'13 x 10'H SAA 74 indefinite hoof and horn meal barrels or pallets 41 x 4'B x 6'H/pallet SAA 40 indefinite kelp meal barrels or pallets . 41 x'4'B x 6'H/pallet SAA. 40 indefinite rock phosphate stockpile 201 x 20'13 x 10'H SAA 67' indefinite SAA = stockpile -amendment area TW = turned windrow area ASP = aerated static pile area FM = finished material area 0 sources of individual types of waste received daily Proposed initial sources for the feedstocks above are as follows: Wood Waste: Clean closure site adjacent to the compost facility; public self - haul Agricultural Material: Cattle & poultry manure from local farms, ranches and dairies; public self -haul Green Material: Curbside collections and transfer stations; public self -haul Food Material: Curbside collections, restaurants, grocery stores, special events, and institutions; public self -haul o expected facility life span Indefinite — unlike landfills, a compost facility can continue indefinitely as there is no accumulation of waste. current land use Adjacent to the proposed Oroville Gold composting facility, there are three waste management units (WMUs) undergoing a clean closure process. This process operates under the Waste Discharge Requirements specified in the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) Order No. R5-2007-0042. The WMUs consist of various types of wood waste including sawdust, chips, bark, cleanings from the log decks, and cover materials. As pan' of clean closure of the landfill, Oroville Landfill Properties, Inc. will be excavating the wood materials from the WMUs (WMU #1 and WMU #2). Historically, though forming part of the permit landfill area, the location proposed for composting has remained unused and was not within the designated WMUs: historic land use The former Louisiana Pacific Sawmill Class 3 landfill is located to the immediate north of the - composting operation; Southern Pacific Railroad,. with 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, and Union Pacific Railroad, light industrial and Marysville-Baggett Road located to the west. current zoning M2- Heavy Industrial detailed environmental,setting, including but not limited to climatological factors, physical setting, ground and surface water, soils, surrounding land use Oroville experiences hot summers and mild winters with average high temperatures ranging from 55 degrees Fahrenheit in January rising to 96 degrees in July and August. The site slopes gently, as shown on Figure 5. No surface waters flow through the site. Groundwater elevations range from 126 feet MSL to 177 feet MSL. The direction of groundwater flow is toward the southwest. The groundwater gradient measured during first quarter 2004 was 0.01 feet per foot. The designated beneficial uses of the groundwater, as specified in the Basin Plan, are domestic and municipal supply, agricultural supply, industrial service supply, and industrialprocess supply. The soils at the site are classified by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as Oroville-Thompson flat complex, which is a mix of moderate to very deep, poorly to moderately well drained soils that formed in alluvium derived from metamorphic and igneous rocks. The Site is bisected by a northeast! trending ridge which serves -as a natural drainage divide. Surrounding land use is industrial, both light and heavy. The boundary of the •compost facility will be at least 800 feet from commercially -zoned districts. There is a minimum distance of 2,000 feet from the proposed composting area to the closest residential areas, and one mile "to the nearest school. o classification of disposal site if sited on a landfill (SWFP #) SWIS # 04 -AA -0009 On September 1990, the Regional Board issued Order No. 90-266, in which the facility was classified as a Class III Waste Disposal Site for the discharge of wood waste and ash in accordance with the regulations in effect when the, Order was issued. o type of users of the site (commercial, public, private) Oroville Gold LLC intends to be available for commercial, and public use. o construction description (e.g, grading plan, drainage plan) Grading& Drainage plans are currently being developed to reflect the final permitted design. o list of approvals required by federal, state and local agencies in order to implement project CEQA Review Document (Prepared by the Department of Development Services) Compliance with CEQA, certified by the LEA and the California Integrated Waste Management Board Solid Waste Facilities Permit (SWFP) from the LEA and the CIWMB Waste Discharge Requirements and Storm Water Permit from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board t Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate from the Butte County Air Quality Management District 2. Design and Operations ' o verification of compliance with USEPA, California Department of Health Services, Department of Toxic. Substances Control, Air Pollution Control District or Air Quality Management District, Regional Water Control Board, Integrated Waste Management Board, and State Minimum Standards for solid waste handling and disposal requirements. Verification will occur during the permitting process. o method of composting ' o construction Using wheel loaders o windrow, static, "in vessel' Turned Windrow Composting The Turned Windrow composting process will be used for. all material feedstocks and is particularly useful as a method of ensuring a consistent 'recipe'. Aker grinding and moisture conditioning is complete, the feedstocks will be arranged into elongated windrows using a front-end loader. The dimensions of the windrows will be approximately two -hundred (200) feet long, fifteen (15) feet wide, and six (6) feet tall. Windrows are separated by approximately eight (8) feet to allow sufficient room for access to allow the management and control of moisture conditions and dust suppression. In accordance with Title 14, Chapter 3.1, Article 1, 1 Section 17868.3 (b) (3), active compost windrows shall be maintained under aerobic conditions at a temperature of 55°C (131* F) or higher for a pathogen reduction period of 15 days or longer. During the period when the compost is maintained at 55 ° C or higher, the windrows shall be fumed (i.e. mixed and aerated) a minimum of 5 times. At least one temperature reading shall be taken each day during the pathogen reduction period per every 150 feet of windrow, or fraction thereof, or for every 200 cubic -yards of active compost, or fraction thereof. The windrows will be turned and moisture will be added as necessary to maintain the composting process. Primary composting is considered complete when internal temperatures have declined below approximately 43°C (1050F), and remain there even when the compost is aerated and maintained under optimum moistuie conditions. Residence time of a typical windrow will vary based on management intensity, time of year, weather, and other operational factors but will be a minimum of 15 days and will likely average around 20 days. In the unlikely event that there is a delay in processing, windrows will be deconstructed no ' more than 3 months after original construction. Aerated Static Piles Using the extended aerated static pile layout (On -Faun Composting Handbook, .1992), feedstock material is placed in an initial static pile approximately 16 feet long by 90 feet wide by 8 feet tall with aeration piping placed underneath the width of the pile. Additional cells are then added along the 90 -foot face with additional aeration piping placed every eight feet (Appendix D). Assuming.a 90 -day processing time and the import of 1,000 cubic yards of ' feedstocks a day, the pile may be extended 40 feet per day. As the size reduction of the initial ASP occurs, the piles will be rebuilt to the original configuration; this will free up space to build new ASP with fresh feedstocks. To maintain aerobic conditions, air will be either forced with positive pressure through the aeration piping out through the surface of the pile in order to provide fresh air from the center of the pile outwards, or drawn in using negative pressure to provide fresh air from the exposed surface of the pile inwards towards the aeration pipe. The type, timing and duration of aeration will be based on the three main operational parameters of temperature, moisture ' content, and oxygen, levels. Temperature responds with respect to moisture and oxygen levels; controlling temperature is achieved by adjusting either moisture and/or aeration levels. Aeration serves to lower excessive temperatures and remove moisture. During the pathogen reduction process, a temperature range of 55°C (131 °F) to 59°C (138°F) will be maintained in the zone specified in Title 14, Chapter 3. 1, Article 1, Section 17868.3 (d)(2)(B)] for 3 days; that ' is, the aeration system will be activated if the temperature exceeds 59°C and deactivated when the temperature reaches 55°C. After the pathogen reduction process has been completed, temperatures will be maintained between 45°C to 59°C in order to maximize the decomposition rate. At least one temperature reading shall be taken each day during the ' pathogen reduction period per every 150 feet of pile, or fraction thereof, or for every 200 cubic -yards of active compost, or fraction thereof; more readings will be taken in cases of high temperature to ensure the pile is being cooled. Temperature readings in addition to those required will be taken to measure conditionsdeeper inside the pile as well. The decision to use either positive or negative pressure will be based on conditions inside the piles as well as climatic conditions at the facility; For example, if temperatures exceed 59°C deep inside the pile but are within the above specified limits at the periphery of the pile, positive pressure will be used; if the periphery of the pile requires more rapid cooling than the core, negative pressure will be used. The same tactic can be used for controlling moisture as well; any applied aeration will have a drying effect on the compost. When negative pressure is used, a. condensate trap constructed from a 55 -gallon drum or barrel will be used to accumulate moisture extracted from the pile. The condensate will then be either reapplied to moisture condition feedstocks or stored in the detention basin. Initially, the aeration system will be constructed of perforated piping laid underneath the pile in a bed of porous material (e.g. wood chips) at approximately 8 -foot intervals; the perforated interval will be 70 feet in a 90 -foot wide ASP. Typical piping used for this process is 4 -inch diameter PVC. Each length of pipe will have an individual blower attached for maximum process control while in the pathogen reduction phase. The typical blowers to be used are 1/3 horsepower with a now rate of 150 cubic feet per minute at 0.5" of static pressure. These blowers are small and relatively inexpensive when compared to a large manifolded blower that would be used for a full-scale automated system, and will be added as production increases. If negative pressure (suction) is required, each blower will have its own associated. condensate trap and biorilter. The biolfilter will consist of an approximately 2 -cubic yard pile of compost placed over the exhaust hose from the blower. The compost used for the bioP/ter will be replaced on a bi-weekly basis. Blowers and their associated condensate traps will be moved as needed to provide aeration; biofi/ters will be constructed as needed (Appendix D). A layer of insulating material, 6-12 inches thick, will be used to cover active compost to minimize the risk of odor generation. Suitable insulating material includes stabilized compost, compost "overs'; and soils. As a further odor minimization practice, the exhaust from the blowers will be directed through a biorilter. The biorilter will be made from stabilized compost, finished compost,, or soils. In accordance with Title 14, Chapter 3. 1, Article 1, Section 17868.3(b)(3), all active aerated static compost piles shall be covered with 6 to 12 inches of insulating material, and the active compost shall be maintained at a temperature of 55° C (131° F9 or higher for a pathogen reduction period of 3 days. Primary composting is considered complete when internal temperatures have declined below approximately 43°C (105°F), and remain there even when the compost is aerated and maintained under optimum moisture conditions. Residence time in the Aerated Static Pile will varydepending on the season and sales demand but will range from a few days to up to 3 months. forced air, mechanical Both.

If a visual load check indicates a contamination level greater than 1.0 percent, a representative sample will be taken, physical contaminants will be collected and weighed, and the percentage of physical contaminants determined. The load will be rejected and unloading will not be allowed if physical contaminants are greater than 1:0 percent of total weight. The material will then be backhauled to the originator. Specific training criteria for staff undertaking the load check are described in the Load Checking Program. Should physical contaminants, including hazardous waste materials, be inadvertently ' received on site, they will be immediately returned to the generator, if possible. If the generator of the material is unknown, the material will be p'/aced in a covered prohibited material bins in the hazardous or non -hazardous waste storage locations (Figure 3). The hazardous waste storage location will be covered and secured and located on an impermeable ' surface with a containment berm. The non -hazardous waste storage will be'on an impermeable surface and secured. The Facility Operator will arrange for appropriate disposal on a weekly basis of prohibited materials and any incidental hazardous waste or materials by an appropriately licensed hauler. The licensed hauler will dispose of the material at an appropriate licensed disposal facility which accepts the material in question. o process (composting material) o type of test (temperature, moisture) Temperature, oxygen and moisture monitoring Temperature will be taken with a stainless steel Reotemp compost thermometer with a 36" probe or equivalent. Temperature measurements for pathogen reduction shall be measured as follows: (a) Windrow composting processes and agitated bays shall be monitored 12" to 24" below the pile surface (Title 14, Chapter 3. 1, Article 1, Section 17868.3 (d)(2)(A)j; (b) Aerated static pile composting processes shall be monitored 12" to 18" from the point where the insulation cover meets the active compost (Title 14, Chapter 3. 1, Article 1, Section 17868.3 (d)(2)(B)1;• Initial and final moisture content will be measured accurately by using the following method: a) Weigh a small container. b) Weigh 10 g of the material into the container. c) Dry the sample for 24 hours in a 105-110°C oven. d) Reweigh the sample, subtract the weight of the container, and determine the moisture content using the following equation: Mn = ((Ww-Wd)/Ww) x 100 in which: Mn = moisture content (%) of material n WW = wet weight of the sample, and Wd = weight of the sample after drying. Once a mixture is actively composting, a basic squeeze test will be used to determine if there is sufficient moisture for effective breakdown: a handful of the material will be squeezed tightly in the fist. The material should feel like a wrung -out sponge, releasing at most only a few drops of moisture. Moisture content will be monitored weekly and before turning or pile reconstruction in order to determine if additional moisture is needed; moisture content will be maintained between 45% and 60% as determined by the method above. Moisture content may be adjusted by the following methods: addition of either fresh or process water, addition of moister or drier materials, and aeration (i.e. turning or by use of blowers). A 45% to 60% moisture content should be maintained year-round; gas -permeable tarps may also be employed in the case of extended rainy periods. Excess moisture that drains from the piles or collects in condensate traps will be collected in the detention basin. Oxygen levels will be measured in coordination with temperature readings with a compost oxygen probe (e.g. 'the Woods End Oxygen Probe or equivalent.)

A loop of fire hydrants on 400' centers will be situated in proximity of the berm around the active composting area; fire hydrants will also be located around the finished material storage and retail sales area (Figure 3). The berm slopes will be kept free of brush and combustible materials within 50' of the centerline of the road, creating a fire break 100' in width. Signage regarding standard fire safety information and emergency contact information will be provided at the scales, facility office and other locations as needed, and/or mandated by the local agency. All equipment will be fitted with spark arresters in accord with applicable vehicle regulations and carry fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers will also be located in hazardous materials/waste storage areas in order that travel distances do . not exceed 50' per NFPA 13.6.6.4.4. All facility structures will have fire protection as mandated by the California Fire Code or NFPA. Equipment used in normal daily operations will also be available for use in emergency situations. Any additional standby equipment required by the local agency during the fire season will be provided. Open burning at the facility will be -expressly prohibited. o vector controls The facility will implement a range of techniques to deter and control potential vectors at the site, namely rodents, birds, and insects. These techniques will include the following: • Use of gas -permeable tarpaulins and other covers to prevent access to active compostable material or finished products. In the case of active compost, the high temperatures within the compost will help to destroy any vectors that breach the covers; • Immediate pr rapid grinding and incorporation of food materials and manures that, will potentially be most attractive to vectors; • Regular grinding, mixing and turning of the windrows will act as a deterrent to vectors, particularly those seeking to nest; • Manual and/or automated noise devices will be installed to act as a deterrent to the bird population; • Fly traps and mouse traps will be deployed and adjusted as necessary on a daily basis to control flies and small rodents, • • The facility will house a resident cat to help reduce any rodent population; and • In the case of heavy infestation, a professional extermination service will be used. litter controls Decontamination of incoming food and green materials will initially occur after these materials are unloaded and before grinding. The facility will employ a litter patrol as needed to remove litter that may cause a nuisance on-site. Final removal of contaminants occurs during the final screening process described in the Curing/Screening (Section 4). - The litter is collected in appropriate waste containers and disposed of as part of the regular disposal process described in the Storage and Disposal of Waste Material (Section 6). Portable litter fences may also be used if wind conditions warrant. odor controls A variety of odor mitigation techniques are employed throughout the operation; these include immediate grinding and incorporation of potentially odiferous materials, the use of covers, biofilters, and aeration of the detention basin. If material is received in an anaerobic condition, it will be immediately mixed with carbonaceous material to improve oxygenation and combat odors. Once the composting process begins, odors are controlled primarily by the appropriate management of temperature, moisture and oxygen to attain and maintain aerobic conditions throughout the active composting phase. In particular, use of a windrow turner ensures a consistent, homogenized and oxygenized blend in the Turned Windrows thereby greatly reducing the potential for odor. The Aerated Static Piles are designed to include an insulating layer and a biolilter system. Both are described in more detail in Section 4 above. Detailed mitigations for specific feedstocks and handling processes are described fully in the facility's Odor Impact Minimization Plan attached as Appendix F. By comparison to new feedstocks and material in the early stages of processing, stabilized compost presents no serious potential for odor generation as the odiferous compounds have by that point already been metabolized through the composting process. On-site housekeeping practices, particularly the prevention or removal of any ponded liquid and the appropriate use of covers for unprocessed material will also effectively eliminate or minimize odors. ' It should be noted that the Facility is surrounded by land used for in rial purposes, with the nearest residence located over one-half mile away from the site. This characteristic further reduces the potential for off-site odor issues related to the composting operations. ' Should the facility receive an odor complaint, the complaint handling protocol, fully described in the facility's Odor Impact Minimization Plan, will be implemented. Where appropriate and possible after receipt of an odor complaint, the facility operator will implement targeted odor mitigations in an effort to remove odor and prevent any recurrence in the future. o dust controls 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. Commercially available dust suppressant, such as Earthbind 100 or equivalent, will be applied to facility road surfaces on an annual basis. o noise and vibration control provisions 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 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. ' o noise levels generated by the project (construction and operation) Machinery outfitted with mufflers, eucalyptus grove, daytime operations only. ' o vibration levels generated by the project (construction and operation) None anticipated o o weight scales Truck scales on site near entrance. o product storage o volume The overall size of the facility is approximately 68.7 acres. Around 25 acres will be dedicated to active composting operations. A separate. stockpile and retail sales area, approximately 6 acres in size will be located in the south west corner of the facility immediately next to the site entrance (Figure 3). The area has a maximum storage capacity of 47,000 cubic yards of finished compost. Oroville Gold will be handling a total estimated daily tonnage of 531 tons of feedstocks once the facility is at full capacity. This in turn means that over the course of the facility's 264 operating days per year, approximately 140,000 tons of material will be received. Assuming a volume reduction of approximately 80%, this will generate 28,000 tons (56;000,000 lbs) of compost. The quoted CIWMB conversion factor for compost is 800 lbs/cubic yard. Therefore, Oroville ' Gold LLC will generate 70,000 cubic yards of compost per year. Assuming steady state operation (5 cubic yards of material in to 1 cubic yard of material out), the maximum production capacity of the Oroville Gold compost facility is the import of approximately 438,000 cubic yards of feedstock material per year, resulting in the : production of approximately 88,000 cubic yards per year of compost. If the entire 11 acres were dedicated to the more space -efficient ASP method, the maximum production capacity would increase to an import of approximately 600,000 cubic yards of feedstock material per year, with the resultant production of approximately 120,000 cubic yards per year of compost.. o time Maximum 8 months for Finished Compost t o location Separate storage and retail sales area. o handling With wheel loaders ' o leachate containment Grading plans are currently being developed to reflect the final permitted design. o low permeability barrier, pad liner, material type, availability, permeability, moisture content 2 ft. of low -permeable material compacted to 90%maximum density collection and containment system Collection pipes and detention basin to capture leachate for re -use. recirculation plan Zero discharge is required. After collection in the detention basin, the storm water and leachate will be used as process water for moisture conditioning blended feedstocks and compost piles. erosion controls Geological studies indicate no impact to the site. Temporary erosion control will be achieved through construction quality assurance activities, which will be documented in the final grading plans which will be completed once approval of the site design is received. Everyday erosion control will be achieved through dust control measures, storm water controls and monitoring and other best management practices. o sedimentation controls, such as siltation basins.and location of such controls Grading plans are currently being developed to reflect the final permitted design. o drainage facilities (run-on and run-off) Existing Surface Drainage Plans Drainage at the Site flows via unnamed natural drainages to the Feather River which is located approximately one (1) mile west of the Site. The Site topography has been modified by extensive placement of waste materials. Despite the presence of the rills, natural drainages that are tributaries of the Feather River still control surface water runoff in the area. Existing Drainage Control A sump is situated on the former landfill's western border to the northwest of the operations buildings. It is a small, unlined pond with a capacity of approximately 10,000 gallons. Historically, this sump collected storm water run-off from a portion of the landfill facility, as well as wastewater from the hardboard plant, non -contact cooling water, boiler blow -down water, wash -down water from the plant buildings and pads, and run-off from the log deck. This sump is fed by two subterranean pipes extending from the former landfill facility. Per CVRWQCB Order No. 90-266, contact water (i.e., storm water run-off) from the WMUs is routed to unclassified surface impoundments for containment and evaporation. These impoundments were sized to contain all liquids generated during the winter period, plus ,the amount of precipitation from the 25 -year, 24-hour storm event and still maintain a minimum 2.0 -foot freeboard. Based on available information, it is known that Ponds 1, 5, and 7 still receive and sometimes contain run-off,. Other containment ponds were constructed at the southeast edge of the compost site to contain run-off which had come into contact with sawdust and wood chips placed nearby to act as mulch for a newly, planted eucalyptus grove. Upon completion of construction, an Industrial Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan will be developed for the site. o drainage plan (can be included with site map) See Site Plan, Figure 3 o method of handling special wastes (liquids, sludge, white goods) No liquids, sludge or white goods will be accepted at the facility. Feedstock material delivered to the facility by company/commercial vehicles and public self -haulers will initially be received at the scale house located near the site entrance where the loads will be weighed and characterized with respect to material source and type. Incoming vehicles carrying feedstocks will then be received and the site attendant will direct haulers to the unloading area. Unprocessed feedstocks will be stockpiled between the receiving and turned windrow areas, as shown on the site design, Figure 3. Oroville Gold's policy will be to process and incorporate any feedstocks before any offensive odors develop regardless of the class of feedstock.' Generally, any loads containing food materials will be processed and incorporated into Turned Windrows or Aerated Static Piles within 48 hours of receipt. In the unlikely event that this is not possible, these materials will be temporarily stockpiled in, and covered by, unground green material or wood waste in accordance with the facility's Odor Impact Minimization Plan. All green material loads will begin to be processed within one month of receipt. • Unprocessed feedstocks will be stockpiled between the receiving and Turned Windrows areas, as shown on the site design, Figure 3. The excavated wood waste will be transported to the composting operation using trucks. The wood waste recovery operation will be conducted at the WMUs. Excavated material from the WMUs will be separated and handled ' under the existing Waste Discharge Requirements (WOR). The wood waste transported to Oroville Gold from the WMUs will be tested, prior to being accepted at Oroville Gold, in "compliance with current WOR for the Clean Closure�of Oroville Landfill Properties Class 111 Wood Waste Landfill, Order No. R5-2007-0042. ' o method of handling incidental hazardous waste The facility will have a Hazardous Materials Management Plan in place prior to the start of operations at the facility. Wherever possible, non-coinpostable material removed during load checking will be backhauled to the originator either via the delivery vehicle or the next incoming vehicle from the same origin. Alternatively, waste materials that need to be removed from the site will be removed on a weekly basis. The facility operator will schedule pick up with a licensed hauler. Storage locations are indicated on Figure 3. Should hazardous waste or materials.be inadvertently received on site, they will be stored in accordance with the facility's Hazardous Materials Management Plan and disposed of using a licensed hazardous waste hauler. A separate hazardous material and waste storage location is indicated on Figure 3. ' Any non-recoverable or non -marketable residues (for example, compost 'overs') that have not been returned to the process will remain stored on-site for no longer than 90 days. After this time, if confirmed that they have no market value, the compost overs will be transported to a landfill either for use as Alternative Daily Cover or disposal. Physical ' Contaminants and refuse removed from feedstock, compost, or chipped and ground material shall be removed from the site within 7 days and transported to an appropriate facility.. o Exclusion — see above ' o Storage — see above o number of employees and duties Estimated to be 15 — Equipment operators, Mechanic, Garbage pickers, Office Personnel, and Management.

Figure 3.) ' o risk of upset . o contingency plan Equipment Failure ' The facility will initiate operations using common materialhandling 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. In the event of a short -tens power outage, the facility will suspend operations until power is restored. Facility personnel will ensure a safe closure of the site by escorting members of the public and other visitors off site and posting closure notices at the entrance. Once the facility ' has been secured, personnel will leave the site and the facility operator will ensure the gate has been closed and locked. In the event of a long-term power outage, the facility will bring in emergency mobile diesel generators, e.g. a Baldor TS25 60HZ or equivalent, as required to ensure adequate aeration of the detention basin and any other mitigations designed to ' prevent odor generation. The number of required aerators' depends on the quantity of retained liquid in the detention basin. Two 5 -hp aerators will be required for every one million gallons of liquid. One 18kW generator is sufficient to power 4-5 aerators. The total number of generators required on site for odor control purposes will therefore depend on the quantity of liquid that requires aeration. The facility anticipates'having a well as a source of water in addition to the existing supply. from the local water district. This will ensure that if one source'fails, an alternative source is available. If there is a failure in the local district water supply; piocess water will be supplied via the proposed well or trucked in using the facility water truck. Any leachate retained in the detention basin may also be used as process water. Emergency potable water will also be provided to ensure appropriate health and aefety.conditions can be maintained on site. Unusual Peak Loading The facility scale operator is responsible for determining when the facility's tonnage limits are being reached. • If the facility is within 20%_of the permitted daily maximum, the facility scale ' operator will notify the facility operator or other designated managei. In an unusual peak - loading situation (for example, excess delivery of green materials) where the facility is reaching its maximum capacity of non -processed materials, as appropriate the facility operator will either utilize additional contract grinding services for processing capacity or identify alternative organic facilities (for example, chipping and grinding or co -generation facilities) for re -direction of,incoming material. If no organic processing alternative is: available, excess tonnage will be directed to a suitable landfill. Finished material will only be stockpiled in the designated Finished Materials and Retail Sales Area (Figure 3) to prevent possible re -contamination. If the maximum storage capacity of the designated storage,area is reached, excess tonnage will be directed to•a suitable landfill. o ,public health and safety • s ` 1^The public will only be permitted to enter ttie'Retail Sales area. The facility will employ the following programs to protect public health and safety: Health and Safety training for all employees (including Hazardous Materials Management Plan, Right -to -Know, Hazardous Communication Program, IIPP, OSHA safety, SWPPP, NPDES & Emergency - Action Plan and Procedures). All equipment will have the proper safety equipment (e.g. backing beepers) and properly trained operators to insure public safety. ' o employee health and safety New employees will receive Health and Safety training within 30 days of employment and annually thereafter (including Hazardous Materials Management Plan, Right -to -Know, Hazardous Communication Program, IIPP, OSHA'safety, SWPPP, NPDES & Emergency Action Plan and Procedures). Safety Meetings will be held monthly, job, specific tailgate safety meetings will be conducted as necessary. All employee training`and safety meetings will be documented and records will be retained for three years after employee termination or closure of the facility. Records will be maintained in the facility office. III.

The units that have been identified from the top of the meta -volcanic bedrock to the ground surface are the lone Formation, the Merhten Formation, the Nomlaki Tuff, and the Laguna Formation. With the exception of the volcanic Nomlaki Tuff, the units are composed of Cenozoic flood deposits from the current and ancestral Feather River System. The Laguna and Merhten Formations contain water bearing sands and gravels that are commonly separated by interbedded clayey aquitards. o soils The soils at the site are classified by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as Oroville- Thompson flat complex, which is a mix of moderate to very deep, poorly to moderately well drained soils that formed in alluvium derived from metamorphic and igneous rocks. o unified soil classification (CH, OH, etc.) o soil texture, percent passing through #200 sieve o liquid limits o plasticity index o permeability of soils (field samples) Regarding all of the above, SCS will have a licensed geotechnical Finn provide additional geological assessment and testing results for the remainder of onsite soils. The results of geological testing will be submitted with the construction completion report (CCR) upon completion of the project o seismicity There is only one know active fault in Butte County, the Cleveland Hill fault. There are not enough geologic and seismic data available in Butte County to accurately estimate seismic or ground response at a particular site, therefore estimates are based upon data obtained from other localities in California. The anticipated maximum ground shaking intensity across all of Butte County is VII on the Modified Mercalli scale; however, the intensity could vary locally from Wl to IX, depending on the type and location of the fault. o estimate of seismic risk to the site (faults underlying the site, distance to nearest fault, maximum probable earthquake (MPE), maximum ground acceleration (MGA) of fault, etc.) o liquefaction potential o differential settlement potential., The closest Holocene fault is the Cleveland Hill Fault located approximately seven miles southeast of the facility.

FOR CLEAN -CLOSURE OF OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES CLASS III WOOD WASTE LANDFILL BUTTE COUNTY 5. Section 21090(f) of Title 27 California Code of Regulations (hereafter Title 27 or 27 CCR) states in part, "The purpose of clean -closure is to render the landfill (including all surrounding environs contaminated by waste released from the landfill) no longer capable of posing a threat to water quality." SITE DESCRIPTION 6. The landfill is located along the eastern margin of the Sacramento Valley approximately one mile east of the Feather River. The area is characterized by rolling foothills grading eastward into the steeper flanks_ of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and westward toward the flat expanse of the valley floor. 7. The previous site owner, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, planted eucalyptus trees and spread sawdust from their mill operations along the south and east sides of the landfill property on parcel numbers APN 078-100-015, APN 078-100-046, and APN 078-090-014. After initial placement of the sawdust mulch, leachate consisting primarily of tannins.and lignins was generated from the decomposing wood wastes and had the potential to enter storm water drainage courses. The Discharger constructed Pond 7 in the southeast corner of APN 078-090-014 to capture leachate laden storm water. The Discharger has requested to remove APN 078-090-014 from these waste discharge requirements. However, before APN 078-090-014 is removed from the waste discharge requirements, the Discharger will need to 'demonstrate that residual wastes,'which may present on the parcel, pose no threat to water quality. 8. Four major geologic units have been identified beneath the site. The units that have been identified from the top of the meta -volcanic bedrock to the ground surface are the Ione Formation, the Merhten Formation, the Nomlaki Tuff, and the Laguna Formation. With the exception of the volcanic Nomlaki Tuff, the units are composed of Cenozoic flood deposits from the current and ancestral Feather River System. The Laguna and Merhten Formations contain water bearing sands and gravels that are commonly separated by interbedded clayey aquitards. 9. The closest Holocene fault is the Cleveland Hill Fault located approximately seven miles southeast of the facility. The maximum credible earthquake is estimated to be a ML = 6. The peak horizontal acceleration at the site, considering the maximum credible earthquake, is approximately 0.3g. 10. Land uses within 1,000 feet of the facility are zoned industrial. 11. The climate in the Oroville area is dry with hot summers and mild winters. The facility receives a mean annual rainfall of 29 inches with nearly 90 percent occurring between November and April. The average annual evaporation is approximately 68 inches. ' WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. R5-2007-00421 -3- OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES, ET AL. FOR CLEAN -CLOSURE OF OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES CLASS III WOOD WASTE LANDFILL ' BUTTE COUNTY ' 12. The 100 -year, 24-hour precipitation event is estimated to be 5.51 inches, based on Department of Water Resources' Bulletin No. 195 entitled Rainfall Analysis for Drainage Design Volume 11 Long -Duration Precipitation Frequency Data, dated October 1976. ' 13.The waste management facility is not within a 100 -year flood plain. WASTE AND SITE CLASSIFICATION 14. The Discharger purchased the site in September 2002. The previous owner, Louisiana- Pacific Corporation, discharged wood wastes to Units 1 and 2, and ash from a wood -fired cogeneration facility to Unit 4. Unit 3 was sited, but never received waste. Unit 1 stopped receiving wastes in 1988 and Unit 2 stopped receiving wastes in 2001. 15. Chemical constituents found in the wood waste at the facility that have the potential to affect the quality of waters of the State include pentachlorophenol (PCP), formaldehyde, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), tannins, and lignins. Formaldehyde in the waste originated from the Louisiana-Pacific Corporation hardboard facility, which used a urea -formaldehyde glue. PAH compounds encountered in the waste may be from water flowing from the adjacent Koppers wood -treating facility or associated with ash that was previously disposed in the landfill. Tannins and lignins are normal decomposition products of wood waste. None of the above constituents have been detected in groundwater beneath the site in concentrations that affect beneficial uses. SURFACE AND GROUND WATER CONDITIONS 16. The Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River Basins, Fourth Edition (hereafter Basin Plan), designates beneficial uses, establishes water quality objectives, and contains implementation plans and policies for all waters of the Basin. 17. Surface drainage is to intermittent drainage courses north and west of the facility, which are - tributary to the Feather River in the Lower Feather River Hydrologic Area (515.40) of the Sacramento Hydrologic Basin. The Feather River is located approximately one mile west of the site. 18. The designated beneficial uses of the Feather River, as specified in the Basin Plan, are municipal and agricultural supply, water contact and non -water contact recreation, warm and cold freshwater habitat, warm and cold freshwater fish migration, warm and cold freshwater fish spawning habitat, wildlife habitat, and groundwater recharge. 19. The first encountered groundwater is about 75 to 140 feet below the native ground surface. Groundwater elevations range from 126 feet MSL to 177 feet MSL. 20. Monitoring data indicates background groundwater quality has an electrical conductivity (EC) ranging between 325 and 525 micromhos/cm and a total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration ranging between 163 and 300 mg/l. ' WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. R5-2007-0042 -4- OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES, ET AL. FOR CLEAN -CLOSURE OF OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES CLASS III WOOD WASTE LANDFILL ' BUTTE COUNTY 21.The direction of groundwater flow is toward the southwest. The groundwater gradient measured during first quarter 2004 was 0.01 feet per foot. ' 22. The designated beneficial uses of the groundwater, as specified in the Basin Plan, are domestic and municipal supply, agricultural supply, industrial service supply, and industrial process supply. SURFACE AND GROUND WATER MONITORING 23. The current groundwater monitoring system includes four monitoring wells, LF -1 A, LF -2, LF -4, and LF -5. Three additional monitoring wells (LF -1, LF -3, and W-2) have previously been included in the groundwater monitoring network. However, these wells are no longer used in the current monitoring system. Monitoring well LF -1 was replaced by monitoring ' well LF -1A in August 2000 due to an improper screen interval and low groundwater yield. It has been reported that monitoring well LF -3 was abandoned after Unit 1 ceased accepting wastes. Monitoring well -W-2 was installed in June 1988 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as part of the soil and groundwater investigation at the Koppers Superfund Site located adjacent to the former Louisiana-Pacific Corporation mill. It has been reported that monitoring well W-2 was abandoned after the site investigation was completed, but data demonstrating': roper destruction of the well has not been provided. All remaining monitoring wells will be abandoned at the completion of the clean - closure project after the Discharger demonstrates that residual wastes left at the site pose ' no threat to water quality 24. Monitoring well LF -1A was installed in August 2000 and is located north and hydraulically ' upgradient of Unit 1. The total depth of well LF -1A is 138 feet with a screen interval between 115 and 135 feet below ground surface (bgs). Monitoring well LF -2 was installed in June 1987 and is located near the southwest corner and hydraulically downgradient of Unit 2. The total depth of well LF -2 is 162 feet with a screen interval between 138 and ' 158 feet bgs. Monitoring well LF -4 was installed in June 1987 and is located just south and hydraulically down or cross gradient of Unit 1. The total depth of well LF -4 is 160 feet with a screen interval between 129 and 159 feet bgs. Monitoring well LF -5 was installed in June ' 1987 and is located just south and hydraulically downgradient of Unit 2. The total 'depth of well LF -5 is 169 feet with a screen interval between 138 and 168 feet bgs. 25. Three unlined storm water detention basins exist at the site. Pond 1 is located at the northwest corner of Unit 1, Pond 5 is located at the western edge of Unit 2, and Pond 7 is located at the southeast corner of the facility. Surface drainage from the site and Units ' drains toward these three ponds. Once the storm water level in the ponds reaches a specific depth, water discharges off site to surface drainage courses and toward the Feather River. A leachate seep has occasionally appeared at the northwest corner of Unit ' 1, just above Pond 1. Surface water quality monitoring is required pursuant to this Order and the Surface Water Detection Monitoring Program satisfies the requirements of Title 2T. ' WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. R5-2007-0042 -5- OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES, ET AL. FOR CLEAN -CLOSURE OF ' OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES CLASS III WOOD WASTE LANDFILL BUTTE COUNTY ' 26. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are often detected in a release from a landfill. Since volatile organic compounds are not naturally occurring and thus have no background value, they are not amenable to the statistical analysis procedures contained in Title 27 CCR for .the determination of a release of wastes from a Unit. 27. Title 27 CCR Sections 20415(e)(8) and (9) provide for the non -statistical evaluation of monitoring data that will provide the best assurance of the earliest possible detection of a release from a Unit in accordance with Title 27 CCR. Section 20415(b)(1)(B)2.-4. However, Title 27 CCR does not specify a specific method for non -statistical evaluation of monitoring data. . ' 28. The Regional Board may specify a non -statistical data 'analysis method pursuant to Title 27 9 Y P fY Y CCR Section 20080(a)(1). Section 13360(a)(1) -of the California' Water Code allows the Regional Board to specify requirements to protect underground or surface waters from leakage from a solid waste site, which includes a method to provide the best assurance of determining the earliest possible detection of a release. 29. In order to provide the best assurance of the earliest possible detection of a release of non - naturally occurring waste constituents from a Unit, this Order specifies a non -statistical ' method for the evaluation of monitoring data. 30.The specified non-statistical'method:for evaluation of monitoring data provides two criteria (or triggers) for making the determination that there has been a release of.non-naturally occurring waste constituents from a Unit. The.presence of two non -naturally occurring waste constituents above their respective method detection limit (MDL), or one non - naturally occurring waste constituent detected above_ its practical quantitation limit (PQL), ' indicates that a release of waste from a Unit has occurred. Following an indication of a release, verification testing will be conducted to determine whether there has been a release from the Unit, or there is a source of the detected constituents other than the ' landfill, or the detection was a false detection. Although the detection of one non -naturally occurring waste constituent above its MDL is sufficient to provide for the earliest possible detection of a release, the detection of two non -naturally occurring waste constituents ' above the MDL as a trigger is appropriate due to the higher risk of false -positive analytical results and the corresponding increase in sampling and analytical expenses from the use of one non -naturally occurring waste constituent above its MDL as a trigger. FINANCIAL ASSURANCES 31. The Discharger submitted updated Closure and Post -Closure Maintenance Cost Estimates dated 13 July,2006. Costs for closure were estimated to be $1,602,376.00 and costs for 30 years of post -closure maintenance were estimated to be $1,427,218.00. The cost estimates included a Professional Certification for Initial Closure and Post -Closure Maintenance Costs dated 13 July 2006, which was'signed and stamped by the Discharger's consultant, a Registered Professional Engineer. The Discharger and the Regional Water Board are currently engaged in negotiations regarding the amount of WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. R5-2007-0042 -6- OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES, ET AL. FOR CLEAN -CLOSURE OF OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES CLASS III WOOD WASTE LANDFILL ' BUTTE COUNTY financial assurances described herein. These negotiations may result in the financial ' assurances being adjusted accordingly. 32. The Discharger established a Letter of Credit dated 29 September 2006 in the amount of ' $3,133,494.00 to cover closure and post -closure- maintenance costs.' 33. The Discharger submitted an 8 April 2004 cost estimate for initiating and completing ' corrective action for all known or reasonably foreseeable releases from the landfill. The foreseeable release scenario that was used to develop the cost estimate involves. _ corrective action associated with leachate seeps at the landfill surface and potential ' assessment of groundwater impacts. The 8 April 2004 corrective action cost estimate is $103,900.00. This estimate has not been increased to reflect inflation factors since its initial development. Additionally,, the Discharger has not demonstrated financial. ' assurances for initiating and completing corrective action in the amount of the approved cost estimate, pursuant to Section 22221 of Title 27. 34. Section 22236 of Title 27 requires the Discharger to submit a report by 1 June of each year calculating the increase in the cost estimates for closure and/or post -closure maintenance and/or corrective action due to the inflation factor for the previous calendar year. The Discharger must increase the monetary amount of the financial mechanism(s) based'upon the inflation'factor. ' LANDFILL CLOSURE 35. This landfill is not yet closed. The current Discharger has never disposed wastes at the site. The last receipt of waste at the site was to Unit 2 during second quarter of 2001 ' Several leachate seeps at the northwest corner of Unit 1 have been observed during " previous wet weather seasons. Low concentrations,,of pentachlorophenol and formaldehyde were detected in storm water ponds at the site, including Pond 1 located below the leachate seep locations, during 2003 and 2004. 36. In accordance with Title 27 CCR Section 20950(a)(2)(A)(1), the goal of closure ' Performance Standards includes, but is not limited to, installation of a final cover to minimize water infiltration into the waste, thereby minimizing the production of leachate and gas. ' 37. In accordance with Title 27 CCR'Section 20950(a)(2)(B), the goal of closure Performance Standards for Units that are clean -closed is to physically remove all waste and contaminated materials from the Unit and from its underlying and surrounding environs, ' such that the waste in the Unit no longer poses a threat to water quality. Successful completion of clean -closure eliminates the need for any post -closure maintenance period. ' 38. The Discharger submitted a revised Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) for Clean -Closure of the Oroville Landfill Properties Class III Wood Waste Landfill dated 20 December 2006. In, the ROWD, the Discharger proposes to excavate wood wastes from Units 1 and 2, 1 WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. R5-2007-0042 -7- OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES, ET AL. FOR CLEAN -CLOSURE OF OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES CLASS III WOOD WASTE LANDFILL BUTTE COUNTY process and separate the wastes from cover soils on-site, and then haul the recovered wood waste to a facility approved by the Executive Officer for re -use or disposal. The Discharger also proposes to excavate wood ash from Unit 4 and haul the materials to agricultural lands for use as a soil amendment. 39. This Order allows the Discharger to proceed with clean -closure actions in accordance with Section 21090(f) of Title 27, the 20 December 2006 revised ROWD, and the requirements of these waste discharge requirements and the attached monitoring and reporting program.

The concentrations of the constituents of concern in waters passing the Point of Compliance shall not exceed the concentration limits established in the Water Quality Protection Standard Report. r8. For each monitoring event, the Discharger shall determine whether the landfill is in compliance with the Water Quality Protection Standard using procedures specified in ' Monitoring and Reporting Program No. R5-2007-0042 and Title 27 CCR Section 20415(e). 9. The Discharger shall submit by 15 June 2007 for Executive Officer review and ' approval a Sample Collection and Analysis Plan. The'Sample Collection and Analysis Plan shall at a minimum include: a. Sample collection procedures describing purging techniques, sampling equipment, and decontamination of sampling equipment; b. Sample preservation information and shipment procedures; c. Sample analytical methods and procedures; d. Sample quality assurance/quality control (QA/OC) procedures; and e. Chain of Custody control. 10. For any given monitored medium, the samples taken from all monitoring points and background monitoring points to satisfy the data analysis requirements for a given reporting period shall all be taken within a span not to exceed 30 days, unless'the Executive Officer approves a longer time period, and shall be taken in a manner that ensures sample independence to the greatest extent feasible. Specific methods of collection and analysis must be identified. Sample collection, storage, and analysis shall be.performed according to the most recent version of USEPA Methods, such as the latest editions, as applicable, of: (1) Methods for the Analysis of Organics in Water and Wastewater (USEPA 600 Series), (2) Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste (SW -846, latest edition), and (3) Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes (USEPA 600/4-79-020), and in accordance with the approved Sample Collection and Analysis Plan. 11. If methods other than USEPA-approved methods or Standard Methods are used, the exact methodology shall be submitted for review and approval by the Executive Officer prior to use. 12. The methods of analysis and the detection limits used must be appropriate for ' the expected concentrations. The analytical method having the lowest method detection limit (MDL) shall be selected from among those methods, which would provide valid results in light of any matrix effects or interferences.

FOR CLEAN -CLOSURE OF OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES CLASS III WOOD WASTE LANDFILL ' BUTTE .COUNTY , ' 1.3. "Trace" results - results falling between the MDL and the practical quantitation limit (PQL) - shall be reported as such, and shall be accompanied both by the estimated MDL and PQL values for that analytical run. 14. MDLs and PQLs shall be derived by the laboratory for each analytical procedure, according to State of California laboratory accreditation procedures. These MDLs and PQLs shall reflect the detection and quantitation capabilities of the specific analytical procedure and equipment used by the lab, rather than simply being quoted from USEPA analytical method manuals. In relatively interference -free water, laboratory -derived MDLs and PQLs are expected to closely agree with published USEPA MDLs and PQLs. 15. If the laboratory suspects that, due to a change in matrix or other effects, the true detection limit or quantitation limit for a particular analytical run differs significantly from the laboratory -derived MDL/PQL values, the results shall be flagged accordingly, along with estimates of the detection limit and quantitation limit actually achieved. The MDL shall always be calculated such that it represents the lowest achievable concentration associated with a 99% reliability of a nonzero result. The PQL shall always be calculated such that it represents the lowest constituent concentration at which a numerical value can be assigned with reasonable certainty that it represents the constituent's actual concentration in the sample. Normally, PQLs should be set equal to the concentration of the lowest standard used to calibrate the analytical procedure. 16. All QA/QC data shall be reported, along with the sample results to which they apply, including the method', equipment, analytical detection and quantitation limits, the percent recovery, an explanation for any recovery that falls outside the QC limits, the results of equipment and method blanks, the results of spiked and surrogate samples, the frequency of quality control analysis, and the name of the person(s) performing the analyses. Sample results shall be reported unadjusted for blank results or spike recoveries. In cases where contaminants are detected in QA/QC samples (i.e., field, trip, or lab blanks), the accompanying sample results shall be appropriately flagged. 17. Unknown chromatographic peaks shall be reported, flagged, and tracked for ' potential comparison to subsequent unknown peaks that may be observed in future sampling events. Identification of unknown chromatographic peaks that recur in' subsequent sampling events may be required. 18. The statistical method shall account for data below the practical quantitation limit (PQL) with one or more statistical procedures that are protective of, human health and the environment. Any PQL validated pursuant to Title 27 CCR Section 20415(e)(7) that is used in the statistical 'method shall be the lowest concentration (or value) that can be reliably achieved within limits of precision and accuracy r WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO.

The Discharger's technical report, pursuant to Title 27 CCR Section 20415(e)(7), shall consider the PQLs listed in Appendix 1X to Chapter 14 of ' Division 4.5 of Title 22, CCR, for guidance when specifying limits of precision and accuracy. For any given constituent monitored at a background or downgradient monitoring point, an indication that falls between the MDL and the PQL for that, constituent (hereinafter called a "trace" detection) shall be identified and used in appropriate statistical or nonstatistical tests. Nevertheless, for a statistical method that is compatible with the proportion of censored data (trace and ND indications) in ' the data set; the Discharger can use the laboratory's concentration estimates in the trace range (if available) for statistical analysis, in order to increase the statistical power by decreasing the number of "ties". 19. Background for water samples shall be represented by the data from all samples taken from applicable background monitoring points during that reporting period (at least one sample from each background monitoring point). 20. The Discharger may propose an alternate statistical method [to the methods listed . under Title 27 CCR Section 20415(e)(8)(A-D)] in accordance with Title 27 CCR Section 20415(e)(8)(E), for review and approval by the Executive Officer. Upon receiving written approval from the Executive Officer, alternate statistical procedures may be used for determining the significance of analytical results for common laboratory contaminants (i.e., methylene chloride, acetone, diethylhexyl phthalate, and di-n-octyl phthalate). Nevertheless, analytical results involving detection of these analytes in any background or downgradient sample shall be reported and flagged for easy reference by Regional Board staff. 21. The Discharger shall use the following non -statistical method for all analytes that are detected in less than 10% of the background samples. The non -statistical method . shall be implemented as follows: a. From the constituent of concern or monitoring parameter list, identify each analyte in the current sample that exceeds either its respective MDL or PQL. The Discharger shall conclude that the exceedance provides a preliminary indication of a release or a change in the nature or extent of the release, at that monitoring point, if either: 1) The data contains two or more analytes that are detected in less than 10% of background samples that equal or exceed their respective MDLs; or 2) The data contains one or more analyte that equals or exceeds its PQL.

FOR CLEAN -CLOSURE OF ' OROVILLE LANDFILL PROPERTIES CLASS III WOOD WASTE LANDFILL t BUTTE COUNTY ' The Oroville Landfill Properties Class III Wood Waste Landfill is located approximately, three miles south of Oroville. The site is owned, by Oroville' Landfill Properties, Oroville Landfill Properties, LLC, Jack M. Steebles LLC, Carol Ann'Seidenglanz LLC, and Steven Conn Seidenglanz LLC (hereafter Oroville Landfill Properties, et al. 'or Discharger). The site began operations in 1973 under the former ownership of Louisiana-Pacific Corporation. In September 2002, Oroville Landfill Properties'et al purchased the site. ' Three waste. management units (Units) exist at the 105. acre facility. Units 1 and 2 were used for disposal of wood waste and Unit 4 was used for disposal of ash from a nearby wood fired cogeneration facility. No wastes have been disposed at the site since 2001. ' Four major geologic units have been identified beneath the site. The units that have been identified from the top of the meta_volcanic bedrock to'the ground surface are the Ione ' Formation, the Merhten Formation, the Nomlaki Tuff, and the Laguna Formation. With the. exception of the volcanic Nomlaki Tuff, the units are composed of Cenozoic flood deposits from the, current and ancestral Feather River System. , The. Laguna and Merhten Formations. . contain water bearing sands and gravels that are commonly separated by interbedded clayey aquitards. 1 Four, monitoring wells make up the groundwater detection monitoring system. First encountered groundwater is between 75 and 140 feet below the native ground surface. Groundwater flow at the site is generally towards the southwest. The Discharger proposes to clean -close the landfill and transport recovered materials to locations or facilities approved by the Executive_ Officer for re -use or disposal. Once the clean - closure project is complete, the Discharger will implement appropriate erosion and sediment control best management practices until the site is stabilized. Two years of post=clean-closure, groundwater monitoring is also required after completion of the clean -closure project. The Discharger will no longer be subject to waste discharge requirements or post -closure maintenance after completion of the clean -closure project is approved. This revised Order allows for clean=closure of the Oroville Landfill Properties Class III Wood Waste Landfill. DPS:. sae 5/14/2007 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ORDER NO.
