Chem-Tech Systems, Ines ("CTS") existing use is as a hazardous waste treatment-recycling facility established pursuant to California Health & Code Section 25200 et sec ~o handle, process, treat, pretreat, store, recycle, and transship hazardous waste. CTS's commitment is to employ the Best Available Developed Technology ("BOAT"} as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency r"EPA") for the treatment?recyciing and pretreatment of industrial, - hazardous and compatible non-hazardous waste using chemical and physical treatment. A Conditional Use Permit ("CUP"} is being requested for the purpose of complying with requests by the City of Vernon ("City"} that CTS obtain a CUP based on the City's opinion that CTS's presently existing operations represent an extension or expansion of the use and or uses existing at the facility on the date the City's CUP Ordinance was adopted. ~hiie CTS asserts that the equipment modifications to the internal operations of the facility do not in any manner change its use as a hazardous waste treatment?recyciing facility, it anticipates that it can work with the City to establish mutually acceptable terms in a CUP and thereby avoid conflict on this issue. However; CTS, by voluntarily participating in the CUP process and by making application for a permit, asserts that it does not waive any rights it has to continue without the need for City approval, existing uses at the time the CUP - Ordinance became effective, as provided by Section 50219 of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance or any rights it has to challenge the Ordinance or the City's interpretation ar - enforcement of the CUP Ordinance. Finally, CTS, as part of this application, reserves all rights to assert in its defense ail arguments it set forth in its Response to Inquiry Concerning Conditional Use Permit, submitted to the City of May 23, 1989. A-1. CTS is located on 2.4 acres. The facility is adequate in - size and shape as the facility is presently operating in a safe and reasonable manner. It has been constructed and designed for the purpose cf managing hazardous waste in accordance with all state regulations existing as of the date of this CUP application. I .l_ Attachment A Application for Conditional Use Permit (Continued} A-2. existing site may be accessed -From either 2Sth Street, or Bandini Boulevard. No change in plant design capacity has occurred after the enactment of the City's CUP Ordinance. Presently existing vehicular traffic accesses the facility without impairment of normal traffic flow in the vicinity, and no significant increase in vehicular traffic is anticipated other than that which would follow normal industry wide expansion and GTS's growth objective; that _ over time the facility will attract business sufficient to operate at its original maximum design capacity. A-3. The. proposed and the presently existing use of the facility is the same as it was on the effective date of enactment of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance i.e., a hazardous waste treatment/recycling ,facility. CTS is presently operating without a significant adverse effect upon adjacent properties which would not be normal or expected in an industrial facility located in and operating in an area zoned heavy industrial (M-1}. ~"'t i, ~~~1~ - CHEM • TECH • YSTEM ~~~-~e~.

Operations Report - Synopsis of Operations - Hazardous Wastes Transported - Contingency Plan - - Traffic = See Traffic Report) . OPERATIONS REPORT CTS's purpose is to employ the Best Available Developed Technology (BOAT) as defined by the EPA for the - handling, processing, treating, pretreating, storing, recycling or transshipping of industrial hazardous, and compatible ncn-hazardous waste. The technologies employed .are dependent on waste type. Technologies used may for example include neutralization, oxidation reduction, pH modification, temperature elevation, precipitation, dewatering, drying, decantation, - distillation, filtration,, fixation, separation, thickening, stabilization., air stripping, and carbon absorption. As newsy BRAT is developed it will be ; incorporated into existing operations. The choice of treatment/recycling methodology employed will depend on the waste type,. the chemical and physical characteristics of the material, and the final destination of the end products of the treatment recycling process. The decision to accept a waste for - treatment/recycling requires a laboratory treatability analysis to document the waste type, and the amenability of a proposed waste stream to CTS's _ existing process capabilities. The efficiency of the combination of chemical, and physical processes selected to handle influent is dictated by the governmental rules, statutes, ordinances, codes, etc. which control disposition of the process end products, i.e., effluent discharged to the Sanitation District of Los Angeles' {"Districts") sewer system must be treated - through a system approved by the Districts, and must meet discharge standards established by the Districts in accordance with the Federal Clean Water Act and the _ Districts' own discharge ordinance; material destined - for disposal/incineration must satisfy standards established by the Code of Federal regulation 40 CFR 26B governing land disposal, and applicable sections of - California Regulatory Code, and Health and Safety Codes which control the waste type characteristics, and treatment standards of waste material which is disposed in landfills. Wastes and processes must also satisfy any additional requirements imposed on the disposal/incineration sites which regulate the types and characteristics of material which may be accepted. Material which is to be recycled must satisfy Health and Safety Code 25143.2, 25250.1 (Chapter 6.5) and other regulatory restrictions governing the reuse of solid waste. All operatio~ai processes must satisfy standards for employee safety and health as mandated by State and Federal OSHA regulations, and should not subject workers to exposure to hazardous substances in excess of threshold limit value - time weighted average (TLV-TV~1,4) whicPe is the time weighted average concentration for a normal eight-hour work day, and forty hour week to which merely all workers may be reported exposed, day-after-day, without adverse effects as calculated by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists {ACGT_H). Operational processes, equipment and vapor comission control devices must be approved and meet all standards set by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). C. Treatment 1. Chemical Treatment a. Oxidation/Reduction. Chemical reduction or oxidation of complexed metals or hexawalent chromium may be accomplished in a filter press feed tank. Oxidizing and reducing agents are .added and the solution is mixed using an air sparge or mechanical mixe r until the required oxidation or reduction is accomplished. The. quality of the reactant mixture is determined by repeated sampling and analyses. b. pH Modification. Modification of the pH can be accomplished in the primary inorganic treatment tank (m-1) or storage/press feed tank via the addition of reagents such as sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid solution. The pH may be modified to accomplish precipitation of heavy metals, assist _ the chrome or similar oxidation/reduction .reactions, or to meet effluent discharge standards. c. Chemical extraction. The use of solubility parameters to facilitate chemical separation. d. precipitation. Precipitation of heavy metals may be accomplished by increasing the pH and/or changing ionic computation of the waste mixture in the storage/feed tank. A reagent such as calcium hydroxide solution is added to the mixture until the optimum pH and precipitation is attained. e. Chemical fixation and encapsulation. Use of chemical agents to chemically fixate, and restrict - leachability of contaminants ir. solid waste - destined for landfill. f. Flocculation/Sludge Conditioning. Long. chain polymers, alum, or other sludge conditioning agents are added to precipitate metals solutions - or other wastes for segregation using a filter. press. These agents are required to improve the solids capture rate in the filter press and to improve the dewatering performance of the unit. g. Microbiological Reagents. Microbiological material may be added to closed .vessels to complete or facilitate treatment. Sludge conditioning agents are added manually or with selected pumps, followed by mechanical mixing ire - the feed tank. h. Controlled temperature and pressure parameters to _ optimize chemical reaction times and efficiencies for any of the above chemical treatment procedures,, or facilitate separation of chemical components' of process material based on the - chemical and physical properties of the material. - Physical Treatment a. Stabilization. Mixing is provided for the stabilization of liquid wastes and sludges not otherwise amenable to treatment. Stabilization is performed as batch process. The stabilized mixtures are contained in a roll-off bin for - shipment to a licensed land disposal facility. b. Separation. Physical separation of oil/v~rater - mixtures is accomplished by emulsion breaking chemicals and pH adjustment to optimize separation. of the oil and water phases. Oil is removed _ periodically by a vacuum truck. The aqueous phase is further treated by filtration and/or air _ stripping and absorption for the .removal of oil and. suspended matter. Seperation and removal of - volitile organic compounds (VAC; by use of air stripping columns. c. Filtration. The facility is equipped ~ivith multiple modes of filtration devices including a bag type filtration module for the removal of suspended material from the oil/water separation effluent. The filter media currently employed. include bag filters with a pore diameter of 1C microns; ultra filtration using radial .flow - filters at .i microns, carbon filtration; and a multi-media sand filter. Two plate-and-frame filter presses are installed - for filtration of aqueous wastes. The filter presses offer the additional advantage of dewatering captured suspended solids and sludge - mixtures. Filtered and dewatered solids are transferred to a roll-off container for subsequent disposal at a licensed land disposal facility. d. Containerized Ydasted Consolidation. Compatible containerized liquid wastes may be combined into bulk loads for shipment to an off-site treatment or incineration facility. Additionall}~, nonignitable containerized wastes may be pumped into storage tanks for subsequent storage and/or treatment at CTS. In each case, the waste %is transferred in a manner which will minimize the production of fumes or vapors. Solid or semi-solid residues remaining in containers or tanks may be dissolved for treatment - ~ as liquids or maybe manually consolidated into drums for transfer to an off-site incineration, - treatment, or disposal facility. Containers, _ tanks, and valves are kept closad except when a waste transfer operation is occurring. tin occasion, containers (bags or drums) of solid wastes may be combined into bulk loads for shipment to an off-site treatment or disposal facility; or dissolved and treated as liquids at - CTS. Solids are transferred manually, and are handled to minimize the production of dust. e. Stabilization (Container). A quantity of liquid or solid waste is pumped into a container with inorganic stabilizing agent (normally cement kiln dust). Sufficient stab ilizing agent is added to absorb all free liquids. After completion of the mixing, the roll-off container is removed for disposal at a licensed land disposal site. f. Cutting Schreding = E.g. containers, drums production trash maybe cut, schreded, crushed to minimize volume for land disposal. Equipment for Containerized Wastes Drummed material is normally received from trucks, or rail cars. A forklift or drum dolly is used within the facility to handle pallets of drums or single drums. Roll-off bins are bandied by a forklift or a roll-off truck designed for this purpose. sulk Liquid Wastes Bulk liquid wastes are delivered to the facility by - vacuum trucks or rail tankers. Hazardous wastes are transported by licensed hazardous waste haulers. Sulk liquids are transferred via installed transfer pumps and hoses supplied by CTS. Unloading Equipment Vacuum trucks are unloaded by discharging th.e liquid contents at the offloading area where liquids are pumped into designated storage tanks. Forklifts and drum dollies are used to handle drums at the facility. Manually assisted forklift tilt bins or a screw _ conveyor is used to transfer cement. kiln dust or other dry stabilization agents for stabilization mixing as required.

Vaits Director of Community Services VERNON CITY HALL 4305 Santa Fe Avenue Vernon, California 90058 Re: Chem-Tech v. City of Vernon LASC, CASE N0. C753920 Dear Mr. Vaits: As a follow-up to our meeting on April 18, 1990, and with the permission of David Brearley, your attorney, I am providing for the City a copy of Chem-Tech System, Inc.'s ("Chem-Tech") documents relating to the Negative Declaration issued by the California Department of Health Services ("DHS") concerning the Chem-Tech facility located at 3650 E. 26th. Street, City of Vernon, formerly known as the Triple J Classification Facility Corporation. Since the date. of the Negative Declaration, the uses of the facility have remained the same and the only modification to the technology was the addition of a 10.,000 cone bottomed treatment tank coupled with across flow ultra-micron filtration. This modification was deemed to be a minor modification by DHS and therefore no Negative Declaration was required. The facility start up and the minor modification were the two opportunities that the DHS had to review the environmental impact of the facility. With regard to other environmental reviews of the Chem-Tech facility, the United States Environmental Protection Agency j("EPA"') as part of its RCRA inspection Mr. Victor H. Vaits May 4, 1990 Page 2 process for hazardous waste treatment and disposal facilities required Chem-Tech to undertake a subsurface investigation in order to determine whether contamination was present at the site. I have enclosed for the City's review a copy of the entire report filed with EPA, pursuant to an approved EPA Work Plan. :You will note that it is extremely extensive and there is virtually no contamination anywhere on the property. In particular note the last pages of the report where 19 tests were conducted for 39 compounds. All test results showed no detection of any of the 39 compounds at the site . Therefore, in terms of environmental impact, the DHS views the site as having no impact on the environment and the modification was not viewed as significant enough to require even consideration of a negative declaration. Further, the EPA as part of its overall RCRA review of the facility required testing and the testing established that there is no contamination on the property. Finally, I understand from past letters between Chem-Tech to the City there are certain maps and lists of tenants in the area that the City has requested and Chem-Tech has not yet supplied. We expect that these maps will be delivered to Chem-Tech in the next several days and as soon as they are delivered they will be forwarded to you for attachment to its application. If you have any questions please contact me. Very truly yours, ~ William L. Kovacs WLK501:dse Enclosures cc: David Brearley, Esq.

Dear Mr. Vaits: In response to the concerns you raised at our meeting on July 25, 1990, we were able to locate a copy of the Notice of Determination signed by Mr. Hinton, the then Regional Administrator. The Notice of Determination was provided to us by Cecilia Rosana of the Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Notice was attached to the March 8, 1983 letter to Connie Carrasco, which transmitted the facility's permit. (Attachment "1" is a copy of the March 8, 1983 letter and the attached Notice of Determination). You should note that it specifically states that "A Negative Declaration was prepared for this project pursuant to the provisions of CEQA." Also the Notice provides that: "The EIR or Negative Declaration and record of project approval may be examined at: DOHS-HWMB, 107 So. Broadway, Room 7128, Los Angeles, CA 90012." Also, I have enclosed a copy of a letter from DOHS to Chem-Tech (formerly Tryle J") indicating that the public hearing on the draft permit was scheduled for January 20, 1983, 7:00 p.m. at City Hall Chambers, 4305 Santa Fe Avenue, Vernon, California. (Attachment "2"). The Honorable Victor H. Vaits August 14, 1990 Page 2 Finally, at Page 1 of Attachment "A" of the March 8, 1983 Permit, DHS specifically states: "The (DOHS - HWMB) has prepared a negative declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et. seq.) and State Guidelines. The DOHS - Hb'~7MB certified this negative declaration on March 7, 1983." (Attachment "3" is a copy of page 1 to Attachment A to the Permit). Therefore, the attached documents establish that the Notice of Determination was filed and that a Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance with CEQA. In order that you might also have clean, clear copies of these documents, I will today, by Federal Express, provide you ~ with a complete photocopy set of these documents.

Project Description and Location The Triple J Pacification Facility Corporation. has applied to the California State Department of Health Services for a permit authorizing the operation of a Hazardous Waste Treatment and Recycling Facility located at .3650 East 26th Street, City of Vernon, Los Angeles County, California.' The facility operations involve the treatment of oil/water wastes through oil/water separation processes including acidification, neutralization, dis- solved air flotation and filtration. The entire process produces recycled waste oil for resale, treated wastewater for discharge to the sanitary sewer under a sewerage agency permit. and sludges which are disposed of at an approved landfill site. The operational procedures for the treatment process commencing from acceptance of the wastes can be summarized as .follows: 1. The hazardous waste manifest from offsite generators is reviewed for accuracy and a waste sample tested to verify acceptability. 2. The approved waste load is pumped directly into a holding. tank. 3. The oil/water waste is next pumped into the primary plate separator unit which separates the waste into a sludge portion, useable oil,. and a clear water effluent. 4. The effluent is then acidified and pumped. into the secondary plate separator unit. 5. The. resulting effluent is chemically neutralized, and then intro- duced into a dissolved air flotation or sand filters. 6. The resulting clear water is monitored and discharged into the sanitary sewer. 7. Sludge from various points of the treatment process is dewatered for hauling to an approved disposal site. The entire treatment process area is completely bermed and capped with con- crete and further sealed with an oil/acid resistant sealer. Any spills or leakages of materials on-site will be contained and processed through the treatment operations. The facility is surrounded by chain link fencing and topped with barbed wire. Warning signs in English and Spanish are posted around the facility. As part of the facility's operating permit requirements, only trained personnel following proper processing procedures will be a1- lowed to operate the treatment units. A comprehensive contingency plan will be established to detail emergency actions and responses. Throughout trans- portation, transfer, storage and treatment, all waste materials will be con- twined and handled to prevent any release to the environment. t. The facility will provide a valuable service to industries in the Los Angeles _ area particularly the waste generators in the food processing, cosmetic manu- facturing, airplane washing and miscellaneous equipment cleaning businesses. II. Identification of .Envi.ronmental Setting The Triple J Pacification Facility is located in an industrial area of the City of Vernon in Los Angeles-County. The site is bordered on the north by a transmission line right of way and twenty-sixth .Street, on the west by railroad tracks and Downey Road, on the south by railroad spurs and Bandini Boulevard, and on the east a'large truck yard and an industrial storage yard. The nearest residence is estimated to be over 2 miles away (see attached zoning map). _ III. Identification of Environmental Effects (See attached Environmental Checklist Form) IV. Discussion of Ways to Mitigate Significant Environmental Effects (See attached Environmental Checklist Form) V. Compatibility with Existing Zoning The facility currently operates as a Truck Terminal for Vacuum Trucks. City zoning for the site is M & MS2 (Industrial and Rendering). A permit to con- struct was approved by the City of Vernon on 11-23-8I. The legal description of the site is as follows: Assessors Map Book 5192, Page No. 029, Parcel No. 14. VI.

Hazardous Waste Facility Permit Chem-Tech Systems, Inc. 3650 East 26th Street Vernon, California 90023 I. DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY A. Ownership, Operations, and Locations Chem-Tech Systems, Inc. hereinafter called the "owner" and the "operator" have applied to the California State Department of Health Services for the modifications of their permit authorizing continued operation of an existing hazardous wastes Storage and treatment .facility located at 3650 East 26th Street Vernon Cali. fo rn' ia. The facility operation involves receiving oily water wastes and other compatible hazardous wastes from various generators and subsequent storage and treatment of the same wastes. _ Wastes received at the facility will be treated to effluent standards established by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, or other appropriate - regulatory agencies for discharge to the sewer system, and/or transshipped to appropriate Class I disposal or incineration sites. The facility receives about 27.0 million gallons .per year of hazardous wastes for treatment. The plant design capacity is 75,000 gallons per day. Once the - hazardous wastes are bought to the facility the wastes are analyzed for treatability. In case the wastes are acceptable for treatment, the wastes are - transferred to receiving tanks. The wastes may optionally be treated with a 30$ solution of hydrogen peroxide to control build-up of sulphides in the system. The wastes are then treated with 25~ solution of Aluminum sulphate to break the oil-water emulsion. The liquid mixture then flows to a oil _ water separator. At this stage sludges are sent to the sludge tank. The oil is recovered and sent out for reclamation and the wastewater is further treated. First, the pH of the wastewater is increased to approximately 7.5. Once the desired pH level is achieved the wastewater is treated with a -2- combination of cationic and anionic polymers for the ease of subsequent dissolved air floatation. The sludges formed are then removed and sent to the sludge holding tank. The sludges are filtered and _ dewatered and disposed of in a Class I disposal site. The filtrate is recycled back to the receiving tank. The wastewater from the dissolved air floatation tank is sent through sand filters, bag filters and finally through activated carbon adsorbers. The wastewater treatment process produces different types of vapors, both organic and inorganic, at various stages of the operation. The entire system, including all tanks, is connected to the vapor recovery system through a common duct. The vapors - are. pulled by a blower and passed through a counter current scrubber system with 4$ 'caustic solution. The scrubber removes 99$ of the gasses namely H2S _ and HCN. Once the vapors are cleaned and separated " from any entrained liquid, they are burnt in a specially designed burner. The facility has a total hazardous waste storage capacity of 371,300 gallons. The entire facility is completely bermed .and floored with impervious - concrete and sealed with oil and acid resistant sealant. The California State Department of Health Services has jurisdiction over this hazardous waste facility and is .issuing this permit subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. B. Compliance With California Environmental Ouality Act The California State Department of Health Services, Toxic Substances Control Division (DOHS-TSCD), has prepared a negative declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et. seq.) and the State Guidelines.
