AMENDMENT TO SAN DIEGO REGIONAL
SOLID
WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Statement of the Matter
Council approved the San Diego Regional Solid Waste Management Plan in December 1,,977
by approving Resolution 5211. It is necessary that all amendments to the plan receive
confirmation by the County and cit.tes as did the original plan. This amendment is
required as a result of the Omar Redering Company, operator of a Class I disposed site
on Otay Mesa, selling their business to BKK Corporation and closing the site. BKK
Corporation -operates a similar site in Los Angeles County and will collect and transfer
the Class I wastes to transport vehicles. The plan amendment recognizes the closing of
the Omar Site and the establishment of a transfer station for rehaul to West Covina.
The appropriate plan changes are contained as Exhibit A.
Exhibits
A. First Amendment to the man Diego Regional Solid Waste Management Plan
1976-2000.
B. Resolution No:%J� approving the first amendment to the San Diego Regional
Solid Waste Plan (1976-2000).
Recommendation
.If Council approves the First Amendment to the Regional Solid Waste Management
Plan, approve Resolution No. �.

6 5/78-7/78 Establish Omar replacement facility L

facilities as warranted by
increased generation.
B. Chapter X is amended to read as follows:
1. Page X-5. Delete fifth paragraph and susbstitute the following:
Wo of the 11 Class I sites in the State are located in south San Diego
County close to the United States -Mexico border. One site is operated
by the County of San Diego. The other site was, until recently,\ operated'
by the Omar Rendering -Company. Both sites are underlain with alternate
layers of bentonite clay and clayey sand which meet the geo-hydrological
standards established for water quality control. The County site accepts
most dry and liquid industrial wastes, waste oils, and pesticides'. Disposal
methods are -dry pit burial, co -disposal, injection wells, and lagoons.
t .
." A i
w „
Because of environmental constraints, the lagoons are being phased out.
Limitations are also in effect on quantities that can be handled pending
approval by the Regional Water Quality Control Board for additional site
developments.
' The Omar Rendering Company recently sold its industrial liquid waste
collection and hauling business to the BKK Corporation in order to con-.
centrate on its rendering operations. The open evaporation ponds formerly
used in the disposal of acids, caustics, etchant liquids, and water soluble
• ,oils are being deactivated and backfilled. Completion is scheduled by end
of July 1978.
For com arison uantiti.es discharged at these sites for a nine -month
p ,q
period beginning July 1974 through March 1975 are shown in Table X-3. The
principal producers in the County are shows on Table X-4.

3. Page X-S. Revise first paragraph as follows:
Superimposed upon water quality control standards which govern the
disposal of liquid industrial and hazardous wastes is the San Diego
County Air Pollution Control District's Rule 66. Subsection (i).of
Rule 66 Stipulates that "a person shall not, during any one day,
discard, dump, or otherwise dispose of a total of more than one and
one-half gallons of any organic solvent which exceeds the compositional
limitations for photochemically reactive compounds. by any means
which will permit the evaporation of such solvent into the atmosphere. ."
This would include such liquified wastes as paint thinners, gasoline,
waste paint, and sludges which contain photochemically reactive organic
compounds. Since a significant quantity of these wastes is received
at the Otay site, steps have been taken to comply with APCD's regu-
lations. The lagoons, or open evaporation ponds, are being phased
• out. Solvents and certain acids are now injected into covered wells
dolled in solid waste. Portions of the Class II area have recently
been reclassified as Class II -I, and a request is presently pending
before the Regional Water Quality Control Board to further expand
the site for the disposal of most Group I wastes.
4. Page X-S. Delete second paragraph and substitute following:
Upon closure of the Omar Rendering Company's hazardous waste disposal
facility, the County's Otay site will be the only Class I site south of
Los Angeles. 'Though the BKK Corporation continues to operate the Omar
Rendering site as a temporary transfer facility, liquid waste
disposal at this location has been essentially eliminated. Liquid
wastes collected by BKK in the San Diego area are briefly stored in
one of the remaining ponds for transfer to BKK's Class I chemical
waste landfill in West Covina (Los Angeles County). As noted
-earlier, all pumpable liquids in the pond will be removed and the
site permanently closed by the and of July 1978. Based on quanti-
tative history as shown on Table X-3, Omar was handling the majority
of the industrial liquid wastes disposed of in the County. The
closure o�- this site, therefore, poses concern. As shown in Figure
X-2, it is projected that the volume of .liquid hazardous wastes will
nearly double by the year 2000. In addition, Figure X-1 shows that
the majority of known industrial waste generators in the region are
located principally in the northern part of the City of San Diego
and in the newer industrial arbas along the Carlsbad -Escondido axis.
The BKK Corporation intends to replace its temporary transfer gacility
with a large scale industrial waste transfer station in the northorn
metropolitan area of the Citj of San Diego near the intersection of
Miramar Road and Prestress Way (see Figure X-1). This facility would
be open to the public. The Omar facility was not. Except for the
Miramar Naval Station to the south, this'area is'mostly industrialized.
BKK proposes to re -haul the waste to its Class I facility in West
Covina for ultimate disposal.

Regional Industrial Waste haulers
.The Liquid Waste Haulers Act of 1970 provided for the licensing of all
firms hauling liquid wastes, either hazardous or non -hazardous, in the
State. In addition, State regulations require that all haulers who
transport hazardous wastes shall be registered with the State Department
of Health. Licensed haulers operating in the San Diego area in 1978
according to State Water Resources Control Board records are:
Southern Calif. Services Corp.
Geo. F. Casey Co.
Chatham Company
Nelco Refining Co.
Chancellor $ Ogden Coast Waste Management
Pepper Industries General Dynamics
Victor/California San Diego Gas &'Electric
Solid Waste Services, Inc. American PxocessiY�g Co.
Sani-Tainer, Inc. Modern Septic Services
Liquid wastes collected by Chancellor & Ogden are hauled to the BKK
chemical waste landfill in West Covina for disposal. The other firms
utilize the Otay site.

the environment unless properly handled, transported, treated, stored,
and disposed. These wastes may contain toxic chemicals, pesticides,
acids, caustics, flammable or explosive substances, or other materials
i in sufficient amounts to cause acute or chronic health effects. The
availability of acceptable land disposal sites, processing, storage, and
j handling facilities is thus crucial to the proper management of these
wastes. The closing of the Omar facility would, therefore, have a signi-
ficant detrimental effect upon the region's hazardous waste management
capability: There is an immediate need for a replacement industrial
liquid waste handling facility. The establishment of an industrial
liquid waste transfer station in the North Metropolitan area of the City
y
of San Diego could meet this need. It has also been determined that a
study is needed to ascertain requirements for additional industrial
liquid waste handling facilities in the region.

S. The County Department of Sanitation and Flood Control shall conduct
a comprehensive study of the County's near -term and long-term needs
and capacity for hazardous waste disposal. Based upon the needs
identified by -this study, additional Class I handling facilities may
be established by public or private entities.
6. The County Department of Sanitation and Flood Control will maintain
an inventory of hazardous waste generation, will monitor changing
disposal requirements,'•and_will provide for additional facilities
when waste handling demands exceed capabilities.
