'~ Development \ DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FROM VENTURA COUNTY HAZARDOUS WASTE/MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN The Solid Waste Division of the Ventura County Resource Management Agency is preparing a Hazardous Waste/Materials Management Plan (Tanner Plan) pursuant to Assembly Bill 2948 - Tanner (Section 25135, Article 3.5, Chapter 6.5, Division 20 of the Health and Safety Code), and an associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR). This EIR is intended to accompany the Ventura County Hazardous Waste/Materials Management Plan (CHWMP) and it discusses only those aspects of the CHWMP (primarily siting criteria and needed facilities) which could result in an impact to the environment. The following is a summary of the CHWMP's purpose and content. The intent and goal of the CHWMP is to assess the volumes of hazardous waste generated in Ventura County and to determine if hazardous waste facilities are needed to properly manage hazardous wastes. Hazardous waste facilities include facilities for the transfer, storage, recycling, treatment, incineration, and disposal of hazardous waste. Under the legislation the Tanner Plan must include, but is not limited.to, the following: 1. An analysis of the hazardous waste generated in the County, including an accounting of the volumes of hazardous wastes produced by type of waste, and estimates of the expected rates of hazardous waste generation through the year 2000, by type of waste. 799 Moorpark A venue :er Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 ' 2. 3. 4.

An identification of those hazardous waste facilities that can be expanded to accommodate projected needs and an identification of general areas or specific sites for new hazardous waste facilities determined to be needed. In lieu of this facility and site identification, the CHWMP may instead include siting criteria to be utilized in selecting sites for new hazardous waste facilities. If siting criteria are included in the County Hazardous Waste Management Plan, the CHWMP shall also designate general areas where the criteria might be applicable. 7. A statement of goals, policies, and programs for the siting of hazardous waste facilities and the general management of hazardous wastes through the year 2000. 8. A schedule which describes County and city actions necessary to implement the CHWMP through the year 2000, including the assigning of dates for carrying out the actions. In addition to the require elements of the CHWMP, a County may include a description of any additional local programs which the County determines to be necessary to provide for the proper management of hazardous wastes produced in the County. These programs may include, but are not limited to, public education, enforcement, surveillance, transportation, and administration. PJR:JS:crl TANN ER/CH RON I .. April 27, 1988 Page 3 The Ventura County Solid Waste· Division has prepared a Draft Hazardous Waste/Materials Management Plan (Tanner Plan) as prescribed by State law. The Ventura County Board of Supervisors has authorized release of the Drcift Plan for a 90-day public review from March 25, 1988 to June 22, 1988. The Draft Plan will be revised, based upon comments, and released to the incorporated cities for final adoption in the month of July 1988. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Draft Plan includes the following information for the County of Ventura: an analysis of current hazardous waste streams, treatment and disposal facilities availability, and estimates of expected :·ates cf g':'·:e!·?+;r-.,., "nh! +h~ year 2000; analysis of potential for waste reduction and recycling; consideration of the need to manage small volumes of hazardous waste from businesses and households; identification of siting criteria hazardous waste facilities; and a statement of goals, objectives hazardous waste facilities and management through the year 2000. for locating and policies for hazardous waste This document is being brought to the attention of the City Council for the purpose of soliciting comments regarding any aspect of the above El R. The El R has been prepared for adoption of the County's hazardous Waste/Materials Management Plan. Please note, comments generated by the Council on or before June 22, 1988 will be incorporated, in print, as an attachment to the final EIR. The City will be able to continue to comment on the final El R until the time of public hearings or adoption of the CHWMP. However, after June 22, 1988 Council comments will be restricted to public hearings only. Recommendation Direct staff as to any specific matter deemed appropriate and/or provide areas of concern, so that staff can address these issues with the County and prepare the City's formal reply. PJR:JS:crl TANNER/CHRONI -Pt 1 g u I I I . SUMMARY ENVIRON11ENTAL IMPACTS AND nITIGATION MEASURES This chapter presents a summary of the environmental impacts and mitigation measures identified in this EIR. As discussed in Chapter 1, areas of potentially significant adverse impacts were divided into two_ categories: Program Impacts and Project Impacts. The more generalized program impacts and related mitigation measures are presented in the first half of Table 9 and the project impacts and miLigacion measures are presented in the latter half of the Table. The jurisdiction and/or agencies responsible for the implementation of each mitigation measure is presented in the last column of the Table along with thP- identification of the appropriate tool to be used in enforcing that measure. For example, where siting criteria have been incorporated into the HWMP prohibiting the establishment of hazardous waste res~duals repositories in flood plains, the city or County is identified as the implementing body and the HWMP is the tool to be used in enforcing that mitigation. The effectiveness of the mitigation measures presented in this document, except for the prohibitive siting criteria applicable only for residuals repositories, cannot be -c:deq_uately assessed as a part of this EIR. EJJective_nes_s is dependent upon facility size, location, facility type, the volumes and toxicity of the substances handled, and is necessitated by the incorporation or imposition of such mitigations into the site specific proposal or pnvlrn~~ent2l review proce~s. because the prohibitive siting criteria eliminates the potential hazard entirely, only these program mitigation measures are assured of completely mitigating these potentially significant adverse impacts to insignificant levels.
