Chapter V
i The proposed San Diego Energy Recovery (SANDER) project is a joint
County and City of San Diego effort. The proposed project would
i utilize mass burning, technology, i.e., combustion of municipal
f solid waste (MSW) instead of other fuels such as coal or oil to
produce steam or electricity_
The waste is unloaded directly into a pit in an enclosed building'
then overhead cranes transfer the waste to moving grates where it
is burred at temperatures in excess of 1800' F. The heat produced
using this process is captured as steam which can be converted
into electricity and sold. In the proposed project enough energy
will be produced to provide electricity to approximately 60,000
homes.
_ Revenues received from energy sales and waste disposal fees will
be. -used to pay for the facility. Revenue from recycl ab i e materi -
a'1's is not included in the current financial plan; however, the
•proposed Service agreement gives the City the unilateral right to
t , recycle waste materials and receive the resulting income at any
time the City finds it economically prudent to do so. A study is
currently underway'to determine recycling options and
feasability.
The proposed site for the SANDER Project is a U.S. Navy owned
parcel adjacent to a completed portion of the S.E. Miramar
Landfill and a mile south of the current West Miramar Landfill
making traffic, topography, zoning and nearby land use compatible
with waste to energy development. The proposed site is to be
acquired through a property exchange between the U.S. Navy and the
City of San Diego. San Diego voters and Congress have approved
the exchange; an appraisal and negotiation of the exchange values
of the respective pieces of property is still in progress.
Nasteshed - The SANDER Project will primarily serve the City of
fan -Diego. The wasteshed area encompasses the entire City limits
with the exception of the San Ysidro area, which is served by the
Otay landfill. Some peripheral areas of the County and adjacent
cities such as Del Par, Lemon Grove, Poway and National City
(where haulers routes overlap jurisdictional boundaries) are also
part of the wasteshed.
In 1989, the scheduled date for commencement of SANDER operations,
the City of San Diego expects to have 1.3 million tons annually of
waste requiring disposal. The SANDER facility will be designed to
process 52%, or lap to 680,000 tons, of that waste annually using
three 750 ton per day boilers, totaling 2250 tons per day. Add-
ional waste will be available for recycling and the SANDER

Project is currently conducting a feasibility study on mechanical
separation of recyclables from the waste stream. The SANDER
facility is'sized so that sufficient waste is available in the
wasteshed for both waste to energy and recycling.
Ash Residue - The SANDER facility is designed to process
approximately 2250 tons of solid waste per day, reducing the
volume by approximately 90X and the Height by 80%. Approximately
600 tons per day of ash residue will be generated and disposed of
at the City of San Diego's Miramar landfill. The California
Department of Health Services has classified the fly ash, bottom
ash and flue gas emission control residues 'to be generated by the
SANDER Project as nonhazardous. This classification Has made
based on an application submitted by the SANDER Project describing
the characteristics of the waste stream and the combustion
process.' S8 #22°2, passed in 1984, codified this classification
and similar classifications made by the Department of Health
Services for other resource recovery facilities throughout the
state.
..-Commitment of Waste- Assured commitments of waste are normally
-'"ev1 ence y egal controls, including the Federal and State
,- consit'utions, legislation, and court rulings implementing the
�"police power" -authority to regulate collection and disposal of
solid waste; and (2) voIuntary long-term agreements entered into
by the different local government agencies served to deliver waste
to the facility'until bond repayment is accomplished.
The legal authority of the County and City of San -Diego to commit
waste to SANDER is substantial. Both government agencies have
extensive police powers granted by the State Constitution and the
' Legislature to regulate the ,collection and disposal of solid waste
within their respective jurisdictions.
For example, the Nejedly-Z'berg-Dill Solid Waste Management and
Resource Recovery Act of 1972 (Government Code Section 66700 et.
seq.) delegates primary responsibility for solid waste planning
and management to Iocal governments, with the County being
assigned a primary role. Government Code #66787 authorizes local
agencies to enter into contracts with business entities for
,waste -to -energy plants and provides that bonds may be issued to
finance those plants. County Code Section 68.511 permits the
County to direct collected solid waste to the facility which best
suits the interest and needs of the County. It should be noted
that determination of waste sources for waste to energy projects ~
is subject to approval by the California Waste Management Board
and the local Enforcement Agency.
In addition to legal controls, the County and the City of San
Diego have strong practical control in that they own the only
disposal sites within a reasonable hauling distance of the SANDER
facility. The waste which wi.11 be directed to SANDER is currently

going to the Ci ty's Miramar 1 andf i'l 1 .
Prior to the issuance of, bonds for the design and construction of
the SANDER facility, the City of San Diego will enter into a
long-term service agreement with the owner/operator of the SANDER
facility. Included in the service agreement will be a guarantee
by the City of San Diego to deliver waste to SANDER for the period
of the bond indebtedness.
Recycling - The SANDER Board of Directors, the City and the County
support recycling as a compatable activity with the SANDER Project
and encourage increased recycling in order to reduce the waste- _
stream for disposal and to conserve our natural resources.
f
}
I Current recycling activities in the SANDER wasteshed include:
o fourteen permanent recycling operations, seven of which have
annual gross revenues of over one million dollars
o According to a survey conducted in the SANDER wasteshed,
reflecting the period January 1983 to December 1983:
i .
{ - Over 7,200 tons of -aluminum cans were recycled. This
! represents a 55% recycling rate.
- Over 35,000 tons of newsprint were recycled, representing
45% recycling rate.
- An estimated 27,000 tons of cardboard, 8,800 tons of high
r
grade ledger paper and 33 tons of plastics were recycled.
To achieve the SANDER Project's objective of increased recycling
' in the San Diego area, the SANDER Project is in the process of
planning to:
! Encourage Increased Private Sector Recycling
I •
f Although there is a viable network of volunteer and commercial
buy-back' centers, the marketplace allows for additional
activity. An increase in the number of locations would make
recycling more convenient and raise the recycling rate.
j Presently the City of San Diego is pursuing the establishment
of a buy-back center for recyclable materials at the Miramar
landfill.
Insure That An Adequate Information and Referral Service is ..
Available to Citizens
In order to best serve the citizens of San Diego, it is

.necessary to have a recycling information clearinghouse. This
information clearinghouse function is being performed by the
San Diego Ecology Center which is supported financially by the
City and uounty of San Diego.
o Support Public Education Regarding Waste Reduction and Product
Waste
A need exists to educate the public that recycling's aim is to
achieve a no -waste society. The SANDER Project staff is work-
ing and coordinating this educational effort with the San
Diego Ecology Centre and the I Love A Clean San Diego Program.
The SANDER Project is currently funding the Ecology Center to
conduct community presentations regarding recycling.
o Encourage the Inclusion of San Diego Businesses in an Indust-
rial Waste Exchange
-The SANDER Project staff is exploring the possibilities of a
waste exchange for the SANDER wasteshed. This waste exchange
could help conserve energy and resources while reducing waste
management problems.and disposal costs. By exchanging various
raw materials between firms with specific material needs and
,,• companies with no further use for those materials, certain
substances can be made available at an attractive cost. A
consultant study has been completed which identifies firms
produces hazardous waste and reviews waste exchange programs
operating in other areas.
o Access the Feasibity of Mechanical Separation at the Miramar
Landfill. I
The SANDER Project has tared a consultant to complete a feasi-
bility study evaluatins proven mechanical recovery methods for
separating materials from solid waste. The study will deter-
mine if a mechanical separation system is available that will
reliably and economically sort residential and/or commercial
waste, and whether regional markets will provide sufficient
revenue to support such a facility.
1 Recycling has become more attractive in the 1980's due to
increased energy costs, shorrage of domestic raw materials and the
1 instability associated with foreion derived raw materials.
.indeed, to a large degree our abi'tity to maintain our economic
well-being and to przserve a livable environment will be related ~
to our ability to increase our rate of recycling.
A flexible system that provides both energy and materials frog
municipal solid waste fits the future recycling trends and is
supported by the SANDER Board of Directors. As the decade passes
it will be necessary to find the correct balance to (1) solve the
- 4
r-
City and County's solid waste disposal problem, (Z) recover all
the materials that are feasible to remove from municipal solid
waste, and {3) convert to useful energy that portion which cannot
be recycled.
An important part of overall planning for SANDER is a comprehen-
sive program to encourage and increase recycling in the SANDER
service area. Through coordination of recycling and energy
recovery activities, materials and energy that are presently being
thrown away will be taken out of the waste stream and put to
productive reuse.
SANDER provides an alternative to filling San Diego's urban
acnt
en
space areas with refuse. Without SANDER, open space will
to be used as landfills and new sites will be located far from
s
urban areas, thus significantly increasing hauling costs and
resulting in higher vehicle emmissions and increasing the number
and length of trips on the region's street network. hdditional
discussion of the SANDER Project is included in the Appendix
' A-V-3. ; .

APPENDIX A-V-3
SAN 01EGO ENERGY RECOVERY PROJECT
Project Background
In the early 1970's the State of California, seeking to assist
local jurisdictions in the reduction of the amount of waste land -
filled, initiated early planning for major waste -to -energy resource
recovery projects in California. Local governments and private
entities were asked to submit prospective sites for resource
recovery facilities.
As a result of that request for sites, the City of San Diego
nominated as a candidate site a piece of city -owned property south
of 32nd Street on Harbor Drive. The California Waste Management
Board hired Stanton, Stockwell/Henningson Durham and Richardson
(SS/MDR) to conduct a detailed feasibility*study on all sites
.-offered by local jurisdictions. The final result was that San
'Diego's Harbor Drive site, along with sites in San Francisco,
Alameda, Humbolt, Los Angeles County/Long Beach and Contra Costa,
were given support by the California Waste Management Board (CLIMB)
for pl ann g::; resource recovery facilities -
The Harbor Dri've -32 Street site, although City -owned, is
encompassed by a Naval Station and would therefore require the
Navy's cooperation. The Navy authorized SS111DR to study two
Navy -owned properties as alternatives to Harbor Drive. These
properties, Navy sites I & 2, are located in National'City on
either side of 8th Street at Harbor Drive. The study, entitled
"Phase II -A, San Diego/tiavy Energy and Materials Recovery" conclud-
ed that any of the three sites under consideration "could house a
large resource recovery facility".
In the Project's environmental impact report (EIR) two additional
sites in San Diego were studied - Site 3 (Main Street and Wabash)
and Site 6 (near 12th and K in downtown San Diego). Site 5 in
Chula Vista, not originally analyzed in detail, was added to the
Draft EIR in the spring of 1982.
With the completion of the feasibility study and the selection of
San Diego as a candidate site, the City and the County of San Diego
formed a joint task force in 1977 to pursue the San Diego Energy
Recovery (SANDER) Project, and in the fall of 1981 approved a Joint
Powers Agreement establishing a Joint Power Authority - SANDER.
The Board of Directors of the Joint Power Authority is compo,e`ci of
two County Supervisors and two City Council persons from the City
of San Diego.

Project Planning Activities
In June 1979., the County of San Diego issued a Request for.
Information and Qualifications (RFI&Q) to the resource recovery
industry for, design, construction and operation of a municipal
solid waste to energy facility. Eighteen responses were received
and a panel of nationally recognized solid waste management and
financial experts reviewed and evaluated the RFI&Q responses. The
evaluation criteria were designed to consider four areas:
1. Technical reliability
2. Experience in design, construction and operation of major
waste to energy facilities
3.` Financial strength of the responding firm to undertake a
major resource recovery project
4. Ability to meet environmental restrictions in San Diego
Af:t-er the pre -qualification of four firms, City and County staff
,:began work which led to -the issuance of a Request For Proposal
(RFP)_ Following the evaluation of the responses to the RFP,
Signal Resco (now Signal Environmental Systems) was selected as
SANDER's corporate partner. In February 1980 the California Waste
Management Board awarded the County a grant for 5308,059 to develop
the projectIs 'financial plan and environmental impact report as
well as to obtain a permit from the local air pollution control
district to construct and operate. The County contracted with an
environmental consulting firm and financial advisor to assist with
the project. Public information specialists were hired to estab-
lish a coordinated program to provide project related information
to San Diego residents. Through the Environmental Protection
Agency's Technical Assistance Program, a marketing consultant
updated the original feasibility study's marketing data, and by the
end of 1980 bond counsel and a technical/management consultant were
under contract Each of these activities moved the Project closer to
Phase III planning as defined by the California !"taste Management
Board.
l Staff also called upon the experience and knowledge of the San •1
Diego Ecology Centre to provide information on current and project-
s ed recycling activities in the project's service area. The Ecology
Centre was given a contract to develop a secondary materials market
and an implementation plan to increase recycling and source separa-
tion in the SANDER wasteshed. A technical/management consultant
conducted a waste composition and characterization study at the
Miramar and Otay landfills, gaining valuable information on the
components in the garbage. This information is being used to
design the facility's boilers, to assist in determining expected
air emissions and to determine the amount of recyclables in the
waste. A $32,000 grant from the CWMB funded this study.
f
The San Diego City Council unanimously approved on March 15, 1985 a
resolution approving in concept the basic contract provisions of a
service agreement negotiated to date by City staff with Signal
Environmental Systems and directed staff to return to the City
time.
Council with a final service agreement at the earliest appropriate

z'
Although sanitary landfilling is the current method of solid waste
disposal in San Diego, elected and solid waste management officials
have recognized for some time that Ian dfi11'in9 no -longer provides a
long-term solution to the County's disposal needs_ Costs for
collecting and disposing of wastes have steadily increased due to
higher fuel costs, longer haul distances, and landfill site acqui-
sition costs. Also, it has been estimated that fully meeting new
federal regulations would add significantly to the cost of landfill
di.s:posal.
The SANDER Project is, in part, an effort to control the costs of
=solid caste disposal by.providing a cost effective and environ-
mentally safe alternative to landfiiling. In March, 1984 the
N:• SANDER Authority Board approved the basic structure of a financing
plan for the SAtIDER Project. This plan,was incorporated into the
basic contract between the City and Signal Environmental Systems
and as such Was 'conceptually approved by the City Council in March
15, 1985. The following are the major points of the financing
plan:
I. The SANDER Project will be privately owned with the owner/
operator assuming the risks traditionally associated with a
private arrangement.
2. The facility will process from 657,00 to 680,000 tons of
municipal solid waste annually pursuant to a 20 year service
i agreement between the owner/operator and the City of San
Diego.
3. The private owner/operator Will provide a minimum investment of
2010 toward the financing of the project.
t 4. The owners applied for and the California Pollution Control
Financing, Authority approved a final resolution for the issu,
ante of $306,305,000 in bonds on March 20, 1985. Bonds will be
sold in'late 1986.
5_ The Project start of operation date will be in 1989. A tip -fee
competitive with alternative disposal operations (currently
estimated to be 12.80 per ton in 1989) will be escalated at a
rate equal to 100% of the San Diego Regional Consumer Price
Index after 1988.

6. The private owner/operator will share equally with the City of
San Diego any additional energy revenue resulting from facility
operations above 540 kilowatt hours per ton and 80h availabili-
ty, or above 354.78 million kilowatt hours per year.
7. On April 15, 1985 the private owner/operator signed an
agreement with SDG""E for purchase of electricity from the
SANDER facility based on the SDG&E IO year fixed price standard
offer.
Environmental Review - In the past five years'the environmental
work tar t e proposed waste to energy project has followed the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and San Diego City
and County Environmerital -Review guidelines. However, according to
state law, the environmental review and permitting process for the
proposed project at -the Miramar site must now follow a somewhat
different procedure due to the increase in the project's capacity.
..,Because of economies of scale and the amount of trash available,
'.tb*e project will have an increased processing capacity of 2250 tons
,. of waste processed per day, resulting in an increase in energy
r production from 30 megawatts tp approximately 60 megawatts daily.
California state 1•aw provides that any proposed project of this
nature producing more than 50 megawatts of electric energy daily
falls under the permitting jurisdiction of the California Energy
Commission (CEC). CEC's jurisdiction is exclusive with respect to
the permitting process.
Through its permitting process the CEC and its staff will examine
the design and operation of the proposed facility in relation to
all applicable regulations. The CEC coordinates closely with all
local and state agencies to assure compliance with local and state
regulations. CEC staff identifies adverse environmental impacts
and develops mitigation measures, producing a report functionally
equivalent to an Environmental Impact Report. The CEC permitting
process consists of three phases including data adequacy revi'ew,
project evaluation and public adjudicatory and non-adjudicatory
hearings. The CEC process is formal and requires approximately r
twelve months to complete once the applicant has provided all
required information. Signal Environmental Systems, as the
proposed project owner/operator, would be responsible for applying
to commence the permitting process. --
Preliminary analysis by SANDER staff has revealed the following
environmental issues. These issues will be addressed in detail and
any adverse effects will be mitigated during ,the comprehensive CEC
permi•ting process.
i Air Quality -
The proposed project owner suggests the use of a
baghouse and acid gas scrubber for air pollution
control. This is currently the most advanced
control technology according to state and local
air pollution control district officials.
Traffic -
The proposed site location will not significant-
ly alter waste disposal truck routes currently
existing at the Miramar Landfill. When SR 52 is
completed in 1937, much of the traffic on surface
i
streets in the Kearny Mesa area will be relieved,
f
as the trucks will then use SR 52 and Convoy to
reach either the proposed project or the present
landfill disposal site.
,r •
'dater .Usage -
The proposed facility is .designed to use water
cooling equipment_ This is the most efficient
and least costly method for cooling boiler
I
water. The water required for this cooling
}
method, approximately 'L million gallons per day,
is available.
E Visual Impacts -
Waste to energy facilities are large structures,
195 feet high, with a single stack'. The
construction material, landscaping and
architectural features proposed by the owner,
Signal Environmental Systems, will be designed to
present an attractive industrial facility.
f Residue Disposal -
Waste to energy facilities reduce the volume of
incoming waste by 90�. However, approximately
500 tons of ash residue will require landfill
disposal daily. Ash disposal is proposed for,
the Miramar Landfill. '
Biology -
The area near the proposed site has vernal pool
containing mesa mint, a federally -lisped
!
,habitat
endangered species. Although less than 1 acre` of
.
vernal pool habitat has been observed on the
•
site, consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife
•
Service will be required. Staff plans to
cooperate and assist the US Naiy Nith the
consultation regarding the proposed facility
site. If there are impacts to mesa mint and
vernal pool habitat, the Service will require
mitigations.

Public Information
The SANDER Project and*Signai Environmental Systems are actively
involved in a public information program, with the -assistance of
public information consultants.. The ,rimary effort of this program
is to make Presentations to -different organizations including
elected officials, civic organizations, community -oriented citizen
groups, labor organizations and students to describe the Project.
A newsletter is also being published regularly. The SANDER staff
assists the media with understanding the complexities involved in
planning a waste to energy resource recovery project..
A Community Advisory Commission, composed of prominent members of
the community, assists staff and the Authority Board of Directors
in various public information activities concerning such issues as
environmental impacts, secondary materials and markets development,
financial evaluation and public presentations.
• SUMMARY
' D.et" eased availability of urban landfill space, rising d i posal
. cots and the need for increased recycling efforts have led the
,.:.City and County of San Diego to establish the SANDER Project as a
solution to the problems of metropolitan solid waste management.
�,. The SANDER waste to energy facility is ecologically sound and
provides an economically feasible alternative to landfilling solid
' waste, therefore planning will proceed rapidly on the SANDER
Project in order to reach full operation in 1989: In addition, to
increase efficiency in solid waste disposal, recycling will be
encouraged in the SANDER wasteshed.
SANDER staff will assess the economic viability, waste generation
figures, potential sites and energy customers in other areas of the
County for additional future waste to energy facilities.

Military Disposal
The urban region of San Diego County includes the Camp Pendleton Marine Base.
The Base operates its own disposal systvT1. Therefore, this 209-square-mile area
is omitted from calculations of refuse generation and disposal.
Information re.f garding the proposed Ysidora Basin landfill at CaPendleton is
included on pages III-27a and III-27b.
Standard sanitary landfill practices are followed by base personnel and civilians
who operate this system.
A study of resource recovery opportunities has leers made. Conclusions from the
study are being developed.
The Eleventh Naval District utilizes City and County disposal sites.
FUTURE DISPOSAL DEEDS FOR THE SAN DIEGO REGION
To evaluate the adequacy of existing landfill facilities it is necessary to
compare their remaining capacities with the expected future volumes of waste and
any compaction of -the waste.
Information on remaining projected capabilities was obtained from the City of San
Diego and the County.
{ The information obtained is then fed into the Solid Waste Allocation Matrix I
(SWAM I). SWAM I then projects wastesheds for various solid waste facilities
` based on the assumptions in the matrix. A complete discussion of the basic
assumptions used in this matrix is included in the Appendix (A-III-1).
.In brief, SWAM I uses population preductions based on growth plans and actual
census data, identifies existing facilities and establishes the shortest haul
distance to assign trash from its area of generation to a particular disposal
facility.
Using projected remaining capacities and predicted volumes based on the above
information the Matrix identifies closing dates for facilities. SWAM I then
reroutes the annual volume of trash to remaining or newly identified facilities.

Ysidora Basin Facilitv
The Ysidora Basin Landfill is planned for receiving nonhIL.3rdous and
(leer, t solid waste generated in the Southern Portion of Usnc
Base, Camp Pendleton. The Ysidora Basin Landfill will replace
the closed, Box Canyon Landfill. Landfill handling and dis-
posal operations are conducted by a private contractor.
This site is characteristic of the fine sandy -clay loam soils
found in the coastal plain section. Approximately 12,000,000
cubic yards of disposal volume is anticipated allowing the site
to be operated for a period of 160 years.

RECOM'30NDED FINDING OF NEGATIVE DECLARATION: Camp Pendleton, Log No_ 85-1-3
Commanding General
i Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base
- FINDING:
i :The Environmental Planning staff has examined the Initial Study belt and is
`:,•recommending that the proposed project will not have significant effect on the
environment, and that an Environmental Impact Report need not be prepared
pursuant to the San Diego County Procedures for Environmental Impact Review,
' revised August 1, 1983.
INITIAL STUDY SUINNARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION:
The proposed project is a request to amend the existing San Diego County Solid
Waste Management Plan to include the proposed Ysidora Landfill at Camp
Pendleton. The proposed Class III landfill (non -hazardous wastes) would be
located in the southeast portion of the base, approximately 2.7 miles northeast
of the junction of Stuart Mesa Road and Vandegrift Boulevard. It would replace
the recently closed Box Canyon landfill and provide for the,long term disposal
needs of the base. Net landfill volume is about 12 million cubic yards.
If adopted, the amendnent would allow Camp Pendleton to apply For a Solid Waste
Facilities Permit. The Facilities Permit is required in order to operate the
landfill. It would be issued through the County Department of Health Services
acting as the Local Enforcement Agency. The concurrence of the California haste
Management Board would also be required. Prior to receiving its Facilities
Permit, the project must also have "waste discharge requirements" approved by --
the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.

PREVIOUS £NVIRONNFNTAL STUDIES
Prior to selecting a preferred site for th,,•, landfill, consultants under
contract to the Marine Corps evaluated 17 potential sites on the base,
Camp Pendleton, Log No. 85-1-3 - 2 -
July 3, 1985
Revised September 26, 1985
The Ysidora Basin landfill was selected as the preferred site. Subsequently, an
Environmental Assessment was prepared in conforiaance with federal environmental
laws. Based on this EA, a Finding of mo Significant Impact was issued by the
Marines (April 1984)_ Later, a "Report of Disposal Site Information", including
a geotechnical study, was prepared by consultants (December 1984)_ Both of
these documents provide background information which support the recomaended-
Finding of Negative Declaration.
K
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING:
The landfill site is a small undeveloped canyon located in hills just east of
Ysidora Basin. Elevation ranges from 100 feet to 400 feet above sea level.
Covering 160 acres, the canyon drains westward to the Ysidora Basin/Santa
Margarita River. The base of the landfill, situated approximately 70 vertical
feet above the Basin, is well above the river's 100 year floodplain. Clay soils
on the surface of the site Ore underlain by sandstones of the Santiago
Formation. This formation is largely nonwatering_ An exploratory boring near
the base of the landfill encountered no ground water table throughout its 100
foot depth.
On the basis o}-this boring and other geotechnical studies, it appears that the
site is well -suited for the proposed landfill. Additional hydrologic and
geologic investigations will be carried out in conjunction with the issuance of
waste discharge requirements. These will further define the sedimentary
formation and ground water conditions so that appropriate mitigations can be
prescribed.
Vegetation consists primarily of grasses with some cactus on south -facing
slopes. A few trees are found in the canyon bottom but no true riparian habitat
exists on -site. Vegetation throughout this area has been disturbed by sheep
grazing and other activities, including routine troop training and reconnaisance
k maneuvers. At the tU-_ of the field inspection the entire canyon had recently
! been burned.
Golden eagles have been observed foraging on Car,) Pendleton near the project -
site. However, the presumed nesting area is not in the project vicinity. The
southern bald eagle is a rare winter visitor to the Windmill Lake area of Camp
Pendleton but does not nest on the Base. It is not expected that the project_
would have any significant effect on eagle populations. No other critical plant
or animal habitat is indicated at the site.
Surrounding land use includes an ordnance disposal area in the adjacent canyon
to the north and the Windmill Canyon Golf Course about 1/4 mile to the
northeast. The Camp Pendleton/City of Oceanside boundarf is just over 1/2 mile
to the southeast. Access to the site is currently provided by a dirt road from
Vandegrift Blvd., which will be improved in conjunction with landfill
development and operation.

POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS:
- 3 -
PRO
Due to their nature, landfills have the potential for several kinds of
environmental impacts. However, based on site -specific conditions at the
.proposed Ysidora Landfill (as described in the Environmental Assessment and
Report of Disposal Site Information), together with the operating standards and
mitigating measures which will be prescribed for the project (sumnarized in the
following section), the environmental effects of the proposed amendment should
not be significant.
141TIGATING MEASURES PROPOSED BY APPPLICANT:
Numerous operating standards •and mitigation measures will be prescribed and
incorporated in the permits authorizing the landfill's development and
operation. These measures will be based largely on regulations found in the
,.,: California Administrative Code, including: Title 14, Article 7, "Disposal Site
Standards"; and Title 23, Subchapter 15, "Discharge of Waste to Land". While
the specific measures will not be finalized until the permits are issued, the
following are anticipated:
1. Water Quality Control
a) landfill cells will be covered with impervious soils to prevent
infiltration by precipitation,
b) drainage ditches and culverts will be placed around the perimeter to
divert surface runoff away from fill areas,
c) liquid wastes will be excluded from the landfill,
d) a siltation basin will be placed below the site to catch any runoff,
e) a system of ground water monitoring wells will be established to the
satisfaction of the Regional ;later Quality Control Board.
2. Vector and Odor Control - frequent and continuous coverage of the refuse
with so i will nzvector and odor problems.
3. Dust Control
a) the access road will be paved,
b) dirt haul roads within the landfill will be sprinkled with water; oil
or calcium chloride as required,
c) disturbed ar.:as will be revegetated as quickly as possible.
M
Camp Pendleton, Log No. 85-I-3
July 3, 1985
Revised September 20, 1985
.-4-
4. Erosion Control - the landfill has been designed to minimize erosion of
excavated sz dg'wal 1 s and Fi l l areas.
5. Other
a) recordation of all significant events/special occurrences (Section
17638, Title 14, California Administrative Code, requires site
operators to maintain a log of fires, earthslides, injuries,
explosions, etc.),
b) load -checking program to ensure that hazardous materials are not
discharged at the landfill,
c) development of response plans for injuries or other emergencies,
including fire control plans,
"'r r d) submittal of a closure plan.
REASONS TO SUPPORT FINDING OF NEGATIVE DECLARATIOM:
No sensitive resourcds will be impacted. Based on preliminary geotechnical
studies, the potential for ground water contamination is low and the site is
otherwise well -suited for the proposed landfill. Operating standards and
mitigating measures will be prescribed and incorporated in permits authorizing
the landfill's development and operation. These measures will include a system
of monitoring wells to protect ground water quality. Potential' dust, odors and
vectors will also be mitigated. The site is sufficiently isolated from human
occupancy to avoid noise and aesthetic problems, yet conveniently located in
proximity to the major sources of refuse. Traffic impacts should not be
significant since the proposed landfill will be replacing a prior landfill in
the same general area.
Because the process of amending the Solid Waste Management Plan necessarily
precedes the facility permitting process, recommendations regarding
environmental impacts are based to a certain extent on preliminary site and
operating information,. Also, proposed mitigating measures have not yet been -
finalized. While sufficient information is available to justify the finding of
Negative Declaration in regard to the amendment itselF, supplemental review may
be warranted prior to tha issuance of the facility permit.
NOTE: This action becomes final upon approval by the appropriate decision-
mdcT�ing body.

Dear Mr. Aleshire:
Subject: Revised San Diego Regional Solid Waste Management Plan,
{ 1982-2000 - Amendment for the Proposed Ysidora Landfill at Camp
Pendleton Marine Corps Base and the SANDER Project at Miramar
Government Code § 66784 specifies that no person shall establish sites for
solid waste disposal not in conformance with the approved County Solid
Waste Management Plan (CoSWMP).
Because of changes in the wasteshed, site and quantity of waste to be
processed, the California Waste Management Board advised that the
discussion of the SANDER Project in the existing CoSWMP must be updated
and amended to reflect these changes before a conformance finding with the
existing CoSWMP can be made.
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) has requested that the existing
CoSWMP be amended to include the proposed Ysidora Landfill at Camp
Pendleton so that the County can make a Finding of Conformance with the
CoSWMP as part of the facility permitting process.
In accordance with Government Code §66784 an amendment to the CoSWMP is
being processed by the County to include the proposed Ysidora Landfill at
Camp Pendleton and the SANDER Project at Miramar. The Board of
Supervisors adopted a resolution approving the CoSWMP Amendment for the
projects on October 29, 1985 subject to approval by the incorporated
cities. State law [Government Code §66780.5(c)] requires that any
amendment to the CoSWMP be approved by a majority of the cities within the
County which contain a majority of the population of the incorporated
area.
Specific information on the CoSWMP Amendment is discussed below.
SANDER Pro,�ecr
Specific text changes (Attachment "1) for the SANDER Project CoSWIMP
Amendrren t include replacing existing pares V-6 through V-12 and Appendix
A-V-3 with an updated discussion on the project wa;teshed, site, quantity
of waste to the processed and parin,itting requiremi,nts; dr.letion of ti:e
discussion regarding incinerator residue on page V111-16 because the State
Department of Health Services has classified the fly ash, bottom ash and
flue gas emission control residues to be generated by the SANDER Project
as non -hazardous; revision of the discussion of the composition of the
SAIIDF.R Board of Directors on page X-4 to reflect the current composition
of that Board, composed of two members from the County Board of
Supervisors and two members from the San Diego City Council. The
Irlplementation Schedule on page 19 is also being revised to reflect timing
oF the project construction and start-up.
County Counsel has advised that Section 15271 of the State CEQA Guidelines
erenruts From CEQA review the CoSU14P Amendment, for the SANDER Project since
the SANDER Project is a thermal power plant subject to the permitting
requirements of the California Energy Commission (CEC), a process that is
functionally the equivalent of the CEQA process. lho County Department
of Planning and Land Use has prepared a Notice of Exemption for the
project (Attachment 72).
