PART.IV - STORAGC SURFACE IMPOUNDMENTS The permit identifies two surface impoundments at the facility.

r On October 3, 1986,.P.G. & E.

submitted a request for a variance from the surface impoundment retrofitting require-ments of Section 3005 of RCRA.

EPA denied the request on January 22, 1987 and suggested a retrofitting design consisting of three synthetic liners and two leachate collection and detection systems.

P.G.E E. submitted a surface impoundment retrofitting 13, 1987.

The Permittee is required by the 1

proposal.on March permit to submit' engineering drawings and plans for the detailed design, construction and installation of the liners and leachate collection system no later than ninety calendar days after the effective date of the permit.

Construction must begin no later than one hundred and twenty days after the Permittee has received written approval from EPA.

The Permittee may not begin operation of the surface impoundments until it has received final written approval from No wastes may be stored in the surface impoundments after EPA.

the statutory deadline of-November 7, 1988 without such approval If the Permittee does not receive final approval, all from EPA.

free liquids must be removed from the surface impoundments by November 7, 1988.

The pennit prohibits placement of ignitable wastes in the surface impoundments.

EPA has determined that discharges from floor and yard drains identified in the permit are not ignitable wastes and may be placed in the surface impoundments.

Other conditions pertaining to storage surface impoundments

PART V - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING The RCRA ground water detection monitoring program includes eight monitoring wells located in the uppermost water-bearing JFzone upgradient and downgradient of the surface impoundments.

The decision to monitor only the shallow wells is in accordance with the general provisions to install a detection ground water monitoring system which can immediately detect releases from the surface impoundments.

The ground water monitoring program for all RCRA wells requires the facility to monitor ground water quality parameters semi-annually during the active life of the surface impoundments and during closure and post closure periods.

The purpose of the ground water monitoring program is to detect the release of contaminants from the surface impoundments to the ground water.

The facility will also monitor all RCRA wells twice during the first year of this permit for 204 chemicals that EPA considers to be hazardous.

This requirement is included in the permit to establish that hazardous wastes and hazardous constituents excluded from the impoundments by the permit have not entered the ground water.

EPA has included this provision which is based on EPA's authority under Section 3005(c)(3) and 40 C.F.R. 264.91(b) and 264.97(a) of RCRA to develop permit conditions necessary to protect human health and the environment.

The permit includes additional requirements for radiological monitoring of all RCRA and non-RCRA wells located at the facility.

This requirement is included because details related to P.G.&E.'s radiological ground water monitoring program were not required to be included in P.G.& E.'s application for a hazardous waste permit.

EPA has included this provision which is based on Section 3005(c)(3) 264.1 of RCRA relating to EPA's authority to develop and 40 C.F.R.
