Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
1.0 Introduction
The City of Corpus Christi's Cefe Valenzuela Landfill (Facility),Municipal Solid Waste
Permit 2269, is located in Nueces County, 14 miles southwest of Corpus Christi's City
Hall, at the intersection of Farm to Market 2444 and County Road 20. The coordinates
and elevation are: Latitude 27° 38' 12" N, Longitude 97° 34' 05" W, and Elevation 46.07
feet above mean sea level(msl).
The Cefe Valenzuela landfill property covers 2,273.59 acres. The layout will include the
construction of two Type I municipal solid waste landfill units,which combined measure
approximately 810 acres.
This Site Operating Plan(SOP) is a modification to the currently approved permit 2269,
and is designed to bring the SOP into conformance with rule changes that became
effective in March 2006 by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality(TCEQ).
The landfill is owned by the City of Corpus Christi (City). The City is responsible for
day-to-day landfill operations using both contract operators and City personnel.
This Site Operating Plan(SOP) is intended to provide guidance from the design engineer
to the site management and operating personnel. It will facilitate site operations in
compliance with applicable TCEQ regulations and current standards of practice in the
industry, compatible with the design of the facility. This Plan will serve as a reference
source and is to be used as a training tool for landfill personnel. The contents of this SOP
are consistent with the current permit and its supporting documents, except for portions
which revisions are necessary to comply with the current SOP rules. The intent of this
modified SOP is to provide additional detailed information as required under
Subchapter D of 30 TAC§330.
City of Corpus Christi f July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
1.1 Description of On-Site Facilities

developed in several phases as described in the Site Development Plan. Several buildings
will be located on site to serve several functions including an administrative building,
maintenance building, scale and scale house and other facilities to service the landfill's
operations.

3.0 Waste Acceptance Rates
As per the waste acceptance rate requirements of 30 TAC 330.125(h) and 330.675, the
City of Corpus Christi is required to perform quarterly reporting to the TCEQ.The waste
acceptance rate monitoring is intended to ensure that the facility's operations continue to
be adequate when waste acceptance rates increase. Whenever the annual waste
acceptance rate as established by the sum of the previous four quarterly summary reports
exceeds the annual waste acceptance rate estimated in the permit application, and the
waste increase is not due to a temporary occurrence, the City of Corpus Christi will file
an application to modify the permit within 90 days of the exceedance.Once the quarterly
•
waste acceptance rates are calculated then an average annual waste acceptance rate will
be calculated. Data will be generated from actual scale data. The average is based on
quantities accepted at the landfill divided by the actual number of operating days waste is
accepted during the reporting period.
If an exceedance of the annual waste acceptance rate occurs, the following provision of
the SOP will be evaluated and modified as necessary.
■ Number of operating personnel
N Number and types of equipment
■ Waste compaction procedures
• Odor prevention plan and control
• Unloading of waste procedures
• Waste screening procedures
• Control of windblown waste and litter
• Soil management, placement, and compaction of daily, intermediate and final
cover
■ Other SOP provisions,as necessary
3.1 Projected Waste Acceptance Rates
The table below presents a projection of estimated waste acceptance rate based on an
assumption that after 2010 the waste accepted per year will increase at 1.5% per year.
City of Corpus Christi 8 August 2007

7.2 Protocol for Random Waste Inspections
The random inspections will be performed daily at the entry point to the landfill and at
the working face. The purpose of the random inspections is to detect prohibited waste,
hazardous waste, and PCBs that could potentially enter the site concealed within loads of
authorized waste.The selection of loads for random inspection will exclude only waste in
transfer vehicles that has already been screened.
a
All other vehicles will be included in the pool of loads for random waste inspections.
However,if at any time an excluded vehicle outside the pool is found to have suspected
waste within a load, the exemption status of that vehicle will become null and void,
thereby subjecting it to random waste inspection consideration.
STEPS FOR RANDOM WASTE INSPECTION
Step One Direct the selected vehicle to the designated random waste inspection site.
Step Two Qualified Personnel will inspect the load searching for signs of prohibited
waste, hazardous waste, and PCB's that could potentially enter the site
concealed within loads of authorized waste. The personnel performing the
random waste inspection reserves the right to ask the driver to completely
empty the load for a thorough examination.
Step Three The results from the random waste inspections loads will be recorded Site
Operating Record.
Step Four In the event that a prohibited waste,hazardous waste,or PCB's is detected
then the waste must be managed in accordance with Section 7.3 or 7.4 of
this SOP.

• No smoking will be allowed in prohibited areas and other areas that have not been
specifically designed for smoking
e A stock pile of soil will be kept at the working face to be used as a fire control
measure in case a fire occurs in the working face or adjacent areas.
The open burning of solid waste,except for the infrequent burning of waste generated by
on-site land cleaning operations or emergency clean-up operations as authorized by the
TCEQ is prohibited at the site.
Unattended landfill equipment will not remain in the active area of the site overnight.
Additionally,fuel spills will be contained and cleaned-up in a timely fashion.
Dead trees, brush or heavy vegetation will be moved at least 100 feet from the limits of
the waste, and grass and weeds around the limits of waste will be moved so that forest,
grass or brush fires cannot spread to the landfill.

8.2 Fire Protection Training
All employees shall receive fire protection training regarding the provisions of this Fire
Protection Plan. A review of fire control measures for all landfill personnel shall be
conducted on an annual basis. At a minimum, each landfill employee shall receive
training regarding the following:
® Fire prevention
Procedures to follow to respond to fires
Et Fire fighting techniques
• The use and limitations of fire extinguishers
• When and who to contact in case of an emergency
• Other methods for fire control and prevention
8.3 General Rules for Fire Incidents
■ Contact the Fire Department by calling 9-1-1. The City's Fire Department is
approximately 3.5 miles away and ready to respond if necessary.
la Alert other facility personnel.
• Assess the extent of fire, possibilities for the fire to spread and alternatives for
extinguishing the fire.
▪ Proceed to attempt to contain or extinguish the fire only if it appears that the fire
can be safely extinguished with available fire fighting devices and personnel.
• Do not attempt to fight a fire alone;always wait for back up personnel to arrive.
• Do not attempt to fight a fire without adequate personal protective equipment.
• Upon the arrival of the Fire Department, direct Fire Fighting personnel to the fire
and inform them of the actions taken.
8.4 Specific Fire Fighting Actions
• If a fire occurs on a vehicle or piece of equipment, then the first step is to bring
the vehicle to a safe stop and isolate it.If the situation allows,the vehicle must be
parked away from any fuel sources, uncovered solid wastes, personnel and
vehicles. Shut off the engine, engage the brake, or use some other appropriate
method to prevent subsequent movement of the vehicle.
City of Corpus Christi 24 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
If the fire is in the "working face" the burning area should be isolated and
contained. Soils should be directly placed on the fire to prevent additional oxygen
from feeding the combustion. If this is not possible or is unsafe, then attempt to
cover the work face with additional soils, alternate fire mitigation materials or
water spray.
A common fire fighting method at landfills include covering the area in question with a
significant amount of soil so as to prevent any more oxygen from feeding the
combustion. Also,water could be sprayed from the water truck to help extinguish the fire
or prevent it from spreading. If a fire is detected early enough, then a small fire may be
fought with a hand held extinguisher.Fire extinguishers will be located at the Gatehouse
and on each piece of operating equipment.
8.4.1 Stockpiling Fire-Fighting Materials
Generally,the fire-fighting technique that can be quickly employed to fight a landfill fire
is smothering with soil. The faster stockpiled soil can be placed over the fire, the more
effective this method will be in controlling and extinguishing the fire. Enough cover soil
will be stockpiled within 2,300 feet of the working face as an aid to fighting fires. A
typical fire control stockpile is made up of one day's worth of daily cover material.
Based on the maximum working face size of 150' by 150', a total of approximately 417
cubic yards of soil will be available within 2,300 feet. This amount of soil will vary
depending on the quantities of waste accepted at the site. Only one area of the landfill
will typically be open at any given time. During wet weather conditions, a wet weather
operating area will be maintained, but the normal working area will not be open at that
time. During cell transition periods,it may be necessary to operate two areas at the same
time. This will be a short-term condition.Trained staff will be located at both areas.
Each quarter, the Landfill Manager will evaluate waste acceptance at the site, and based
on the largest quantities accepted per day, establish a stockpile quantity for the next
City of Corpus Christi 25 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
quarter. The calculation will be made by multiplying the active working face area times
.5 feet (cover thickness) divided by 27 cubic feet to determine cubic yards of stockpile.
The landfill water truck will also be available on-site for fire fighting.
Sufficient equipment is available on site to provide a minimum of six inches of soil over
the working face in the event of a fire;however,this is not always deemed to be the most
appropriate method for fire control. Under most circumstances, when the fire is limited
to a small area of the site,material that is on fire will be removed from the working face
to limit the size of the fire. Once removed, the fire can be extinguished using soil, fire
extinguishers, or water from the water truck. If the fire becomes too large for control
using these methods, the fire department will be notified immediately. Below is a
calculation of the City's ability to place six inches of material over the maximum
working face of 150' x 150'.
Calculation Assumptions:
Amount of soil required = surface area (150'x150') * cover thickness (.5') = 417 cubic
yards
20 cubic yards per load(average)=20.85 loads (11 per truck)
10 miles per hour average(includes loading and unloading time)=880 feet/minute
11 loads @ 2,300' * 2 way= 50,600 ft/ 880 ft per minute= 57.5 minutes which is less
than the required 60 minutes.
The staff will be trained upon hire and annually in fire protection and containment
techniques and will be advised of the procedural listing in this document.
Sufficient material will be available for fire prevention and to assist in extinguishing a
fire if one should occur. The projected maximum size of the working face will vary with
throughput. The working face sizes will be limited to the following sizes under normal
site operations. The ranges represent the size of the working face including the wet
weather area.
City of Corpus Christi 26 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
Table 8.1: Maximum Size of Working Face&Wet Weather Area
Tons per day Maximum Square Feet of
Working Face

101-1,000 10,000
1,001-2,000 22,500
2,001-3,000- 40,000
Under normal working conditions, only one area will be allowed for disposal of
municipal solid waste. During wet weather conditions, a designated wet weather area
will be used. The maximum size of the wet weather area will correspond to the sizeof
the normal working face. A trained employee staff(equipment operator or spotter) will
monitor the working face during disposal operations.
8.5 Operational Activities that Store,Process,or Dispose of Combustible
Materials
Fueling Tank Operation: The City of Corpus Christi owns a 10,000 gallon fuel tank
used for the fueling of heavy equipment vehicles servicing the landfill and surrounding
City properties.
8.6 Fire Fighting Equipment
Facility equipment will include fire extinguishers, a water truck with powered spray
capability, earth moving equipment, and a water pump. A fire extinguisher shall be
placed at all buildings on site, on each piece of heavy equipment, and at the fueling
station.Each extinguisher shall be inspected at least annually and recharged as necessary.
The site will have a bulldozer and earth moving equipment, either a scraper and/or
excavator and dump truck, and water pump available for fire fighting purposes. The
bulldozer will be available for spreading soil over the burning waste and for dispersing
any incoming load that is on fire. The scraper or excavator and dump truck will provide
cover soils for covering burning waste and for transferring extinguished and cooled loads
for disposal. The water truck may be used for dumping or spraying water on fires. The
City of Corpus Christi 27 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
water pump may be used for loading water into the water truck or for pumping water
directly onto a fire.
8.7 Hot Loads
Burning waste will not be unloaded in the active area of the landfill. After the gate
attendant, equipment operator,or other site personnel have identified signs of a possible
load of burning waste or a hot load,the truck will be directed to a pre-designated portion
of the landfill away from the working face, fuel areas,and other combustion sources.The
waste will be unloaded and the water truck will water down the waste. The bull dozer
may smother the fire with soil if the water does not sufficiently extinguish the fire. The
waste will then be inspected for signs of fire or hot spots. When the fire has been
extinguished and the waste has been cooled, the waste will then be transferred to the
landfill active area and disposed.
8.8 Equipment Cleaning
Limited high pressure hot water or steam will be used to remove combustible waste and
caked material that can cause equipment overheating and increase the threat of fire. The
cleaning will be limited to equipment used primarily on the working face and will be
accomplished in an area that was constructed in a manner that is compliant with Subtitle
D requirements. There is no limit on the number of times cleaning can occur.
8.9 Fire Protection Standards
The City of Corpus Christi adopted the "2003 edition of the International Fire Code" as
the Fire Prevention Code Section of the City Code of Ordinance.
8.10 Different Types of Fires
The table below describes the four common types of fires and the proper extinguishing
agent to use in each case.

9.0 Access Control
As per the"Access Control"requirements specified in 30 TAC § 330.131 all municipal
solid waste management facilities must control access. The City of Corpus Christi is
required to have adequate access control to prevent unauthorized waste disposal.
Public access to the landfill is limited to one main entrance/exit located on CR 20. The
Gate Attendants will control access and monitor all vehicles entering and exiting the site.
9.1 Access from Public Road
Access to the site will be controlled at the main site entrance/exit. A site entrance sign is
prominently displayed adjacent to the main entrance. There is also a gate located at the
entrance to the facility.This gate is locked when the facility is not in operation.
9.2 Vehicle Access
Landfill vehicles and waste vehicles will have access to the active portion of the landfill.
All visitor vehicles not related to waste hauling activities are required to sign-in at the
gatehouse and are then directed to go to the landfill office to discuss the nature of
business with the Landfill Manager. The Landfill Manager reserves the right to accept or
deny entry if they feel that the visitors presence or intended activity might hinder the
overall landfill performance.
9.3 All Weather Access
The main site entrance at CR20 is paved asphalt roadway that transitions into all-weather
roads in the interior of the site. Site personnel maintain the caliche roads for all—weather
access. The entrance road to the facility from CR20 and interior access roads within the
site are all-weather roads.The all-weather road and access area should be constructed of
caliche,limestone,concrete or asphalt.A"pad"may be constructed near the disposal area
so that vehicles will have maneuverability to dispose of the waste at the working face
during wet weather. The materials used for all-weather road construction may be
salvaged and reused as the access roads locations change across the site.
City of Corpus Christi 30 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version I
9.4 Traffic Control
The Gate Attendant will restrict site access only to authorized vehicles and will direct the
traffic to the corresponding disposal area. Most commercial waste transportation will be
weighed at the scales and then directed to the active portion of the landfill. Most non-
commercial waste transportation vehicles will be directed where to go by the Gate
Attendant or by the different signs placed on site. Site personnel, signs, and barricades
will be used to control traffic flow apd to expedite safe movement of vehicles.
9.5 Site Security and Access Control Breach
Site security measures are designed to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the
site, to prevent unauthorized disposal, to protect the facility and its equipment from
potential damage caused by trespassers, and to prevent disruption of facility operations
caused by unauthorized site entry.
If an access breach is detected and the repairs take up to 8 hours after first discovery,then
the TCEQ does not need to be notify of the incident. However, the incident will be
recorded in the Site Operating Record as a non-reportable incident.
If an access breach is detected and the repairs are anticipated to take more than 8 hours
after first discovery, then the TCEQ must be notified of the incident. Furthermore, the
incident will be recorded in the Site Operating Record as a reportable incident.

10.0 Unloading of Waste
As per the"Unloading of Waste"requirements of 30 TAC § 330.133, the City of Corpus
Christi is required to have a protocol pertaining to the unloading of wastes. The
unloading of solid waste must be confined to as small an area as practically possible,the
maximum allowable working face area will be 40,000 ft2. Trained personnel will be
available to monitor each load that is disposed of in the working face. 30 TAC § 330.133
gives the facility staff the authority and responsibility to reject unauthorized loads and
have unauthorized material removed from the working face. A record of unauthorized
material removed from the working face will be entered in the Site Operating Record.
Trained personnel refers to the Landfill Manager, landfill foreman, equipment operators
and laborers with waste screening training which will monitor the incoming waste at the
working face. These personnel will be familiar with the rules and regulations governing
the various types of waste that can or cannot be accepted into the facility, including
knowledge of 30 TAC § 330.171. The personnel will also have a basic understanding of
both industrial and hazardous waste and their transportation and disposal requirements.
10.1 Management of Wastes Disposed in Unauthorized Areas
Unloading of waste in unauthorized areas is prohibited. Solid waste unloading will be
controlled to prevent disposal in locations other than those specified by site management.
Signs with directional arrows and portable traffic barricades will help to restrict traffic to
designated disposal locations. Signs will be placed along the access roads to the current
disposal area or other designated disposal areas that may be established. Any waste
deposited in an unauthorized area will be promptly removed and disposed of at the
working face. Controls will also be used to confine the working face to a minimum width
consistent with the rate of incoming waste, while allowing for safe and efficient
operation. As mentioned before, the maximum allowable working face area will be
40,000 ft2. Normally,only one working face should be active on any given day.
City of Corpus Christi 33 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
10.2 Random Load Inspections at the Working Face
Random load inspections for all unauthorized wastes at the working face will be
conducted at least once every day and they will be entered in the Site Operating Record.
The random load inspections will follow the protocol established in Section 7.2 of this
SOP.
10.3 Management of Prohibited or Unauthorized Wastes and PCBs detected at
the Working Face
If a prohibited waste, hazardous waste, PCBs, or any other unauthorized waste is
discovered at the working face,then the Landfill Manager or its designee shall be notified
immediately of the unauthorized waste location and actions taken. The prohibited waste,
hazardous waste,or PCBs shall be managed according to the provisions set in Section 7.4
of this SOP.

13.0 Control of Windblown Solid Waste and Litter
As per the "Control of Windblown Solid Waste and Litter" requirements specified in 30
TAC§330.139,the City of Corpus Christi is required to control onsite windblown waste
and litter scattered along fences,access roads,and at the gate,due to wind currents or as a
result from waste falling from vehicles at least once a day on days that the facility is in
operation.
Windblown Wastes and Litter will be controlled using the following means:
• Waste disposal vehicles using the landfill will be required to have adequate covers
or other means of containment for the wastes they transport. The adequacy of
covers and/or containment will be checked at the site entrance.
• Displaying signs indicating that unsecured loads will not be admitted and they
will be subjected to enforcement action from the Solid Waste Code Enforcement
Officers.
• Personnel from Solid Waste Code Enforcement will be responsible for issuing
violations for improperly secured loads.
• Portable litter control fences will be provided, as necessary, at appropriate
locations. The litter control fences may be constructed of wire mesh screens
attached to portable frames or other appropriate anchor methods.The litter control
fences should be of sufficient height to control windblown waste and litter. The
litter control fence should be located as close as practical to the active area to
control windblown waste and litter.
• At least once a day that the facility is in operation, litter will be collected that may
have accumulated on-site near the gate house and access roads used by waste
disposal vehicles. The actions taken and volumes handled will be recorded daily
in the Site Operating Record. The City is responsible for litter control within two
miles of the site entrance in either direction on CR 20. The City will provide this
litter pickup on each day that the landfill is in operation.The collected waste will
be taken to the landfill for disposal.
City of Corpus Christi 37 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
n The working face shall be covered at least once daily during the operational hours
using approved daily cover materials to avoid prolonged exposure of wastes and
to minimize windblown effects.
City of Corpus Christi 38 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
14.0 Easements and Buffer Zones
As per the"Easement and Buffer Zones"requirements of 30 TAC § 330.141,the City of
Corpus Christi is required to address the location and operations concerning easements
and buffer zones.
14.1 Easements
In accordance with 30 TAC§ 330.141, solid waste unloading will not occur within an
easement or right of way that crosses the site. No solid waste disposal will occur within
25 feet of the centerline of any utility line or pipeline easement, unless otherwise
authorized by the TCEQ. Easements, will be clearly marked as specified in Section 15
(relating to Landfill Markers and Benchmarks)of this SOP.
Electrical and telephone service to the site will be provided by a combination of overhead
lines on utility poles and underground piping. Drinking water will be provided by
underground piping from an on-site water supply well. Wastewater from the buildings
will be handled by an onsite septic tank system or will be transported to a City
wastewater treatment plant by tank truck. Natural gas will not be used at the site at this
time.
Several underground pipeline easements cross the site, as identified in Part III of the
Permit Application and Site Development Plan, attachment 1-Site Layout Plans. This
map identifies specific easement widths as well.Waste shall not be placed within 25 feet
of the centerline of any underground pipeline easement. A copy of the Permit
Application and Site Development Plan can be found in the landfill's organized
document library.
14.2 Buffer Zones
The buffer zone is located between the permit boundary and the waste footprint. The
buffer zone for the site is composed of a 500-foot wide band of site property located
adjacent to the property boundary. No solid waste unloading, storage, disposal, or
City of Corpus Christi 39 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
processing operations will occur within any buffer zone or right-of-way that crosses the
site. Perimeter drainage, buffer zone planting, farming, and other non-waste related
activities may occur within the buffer zone, in accordance with the Site Development
Plan. The buffer zone and/or perimeter access roads adjacent to the waste footprint will
be maintained at a width of at least 50 feet with no obstacles to provide safe passage for
fire fighting and other emergency vehicles.The Landfill Manager will make provisions to
ensure that proper lighting at the working face is oriented so that it does not become a
nuisance to adjacent residents.Due to long distances between landfill and residences,it is
not anticipated that physical barriers between the site and residences will be needed.
However, if additional mitigation of light or noises becomes necessary, the Landfill
Manager or its designee will take appropriate measures to promptly address the issue.
All buffer zones will be clearly marked with a yellow marker.
City of Corpus Christi 40 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
15.0 Landfill Markers and Benchmark
As per the "Landfill Markers and Benchmark" requirements specified in 30 TAC §
330.143, the City of Corpus Christi is required to indicate how the landfill markers and
benchmarks will be maintained.
15.1 Landfill Markers
Landfill markers will be installed to clearly mark significant features. The markers will
be steel,wooden,plastic or other appropriate materials of construction. The markers will
not be obscured by vegetation and will be placed in sufficient numbers to clearly show
the required boundaries. Markers that are removed or destroyed will be replaced within
15 days after first discovery. Guidelines for types, placements, and color-coding of
markers are outlined below.
• Site Boundary: Site Boundary markers will be painted black. The markers will
be placed at each corner of the site and along each boundary line at intervals no
greater than 300 feet.Fencing may be placed within these markers as required. In
areas where the fence is located on the property boundary the fence posts may be
painted black and used as site boundary markers. In this case, the post may be no
less than 6 feet in height
▪ Buffer Zone: Buffer zone markers will be painted yellow. The markers will be
placed in sequence with development of the site (see Part II of the Permit
Application and Site Development Plan, Attachment 1) along the buffer zone
boundary,at corners, and between corners at intervals of approximately 300 feet.
The buffer zones will be a minimum of 500 feet wide. A copy of the Permit
Application and Site Development Plan can be found in the landfill's organized
document library.
• Easements and Right-of-Way: Easements and rights-of-ways markers will be
painted green. The markers will be placed in sequence with development of the
City of Corpus Christi 41 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
site (see Part III of the Permit Application and Site Development, Attachment 1)
and only within the areas of solid waste activities. Markers south of grid line
N8000 will be placed as follows: At site opening (see Figure 1.13 located in Part
III of the Permit Application and Site Development, Attachment 1) the Hanlon-
Buchanan Pipeline from its intersection with the site entrance road southward,and
all other known pipelines and utility easements will have markers placed at
intervals of approximately 300 feet along the centerline of the easement along the
boundary of right-of-way, at each corner within the site (each changed direction
of the pipeline),and at the intersection of the pipeline with the site boundary.The
Hanlon-Buchanan Pipeline easement and right-of-way will be marked at its
intersection with the site entrance road, but not further marked north of that
intersection until site development eliminates agricultural production north and
east of this intersection (see Figure 1.16 located on Part III of the Permit
Application and Site Development, Attachment 1). at that time the Hanlon-
Buchanan pipeline easement and right-of-way will be marked at 300-foot
intervals from the entrance road to gridline N8000.
Easements and rights-of-way located north of grid line N8000 will be marked at
the site opening only where they cross the entrance road and at their intersections
with the site boundary. Internal markers north of grid line N8000 will not be
utilized so as to not otherwise interfere with agricultural activities. Disposal of
solid wastes north of grid line N8000 cannot occur under this permit. Future
development of areas north of gridline N8000, should it be desired, will comply
with applicable solid waste regulations in effect at the time of the desired new
development. A copy of the Permit Application and Site Development Plan can
be found in the landfill's organized document library.
Landfill Grid System: Grid markers will be painted white.The grid system will
consist of lettered markers along two opposite sides and numbered markers along
the other two sides. These markers will be spaced no greater than 100 feet apart
measured along perpendicular lines. Intermediate markers will be installed in the
City of Corpus Christi 42 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
case where markers cannot be seen from opposite boundaries. The grid markers
will be maintained during the active life of the site and throughout the post-
closure period.The grid system will mark at least the area that will be filled with
solid waste within the next three years.
• SLER or GLER Area: SLER or GLER markers will be painted red. The
markers will be placed so that all areas for which a SLER or GLER has been
submitted and approved by the TCEQ are readily determinable. Such markers are
to provide site workers immediate knowledge of the extent of the approved
disposal areas. The location of these markers will be tied into the landfill grid
system and will be reported on each SLER or GLER submitted. SLER or GLER
markers will not be placed inside the evaluated areas.
a Flood Plain: There are no areas of this site inundated by the 100-year flood
plain.Therefore,such markers are not necessary.
a Class 1 Areas: Specific areas dedicated to the burial of Class 1 non-hazardous
industrial solid wastes will be marked at all corners of the approved composite
liner for the Class 1 area. Such markers will provide site workers immediate
knowledge of the extent of the approved disposal areas. Markers will be located
so that they are not destroyed during operations.
15.2 Landfill Benchmarks
As required by 30 TAC § 330.143(b)(8), a permanent benchmark will be established
onsite in areas that are accessible and will not be used for disposal. The benchmark will
be a bronze survey pin set in concrete on monitor well pads. The benchmark elevation
has been surveyed from a known United States Geological Survey(USGS)benchmark or
other reliable benchmark.
City of Corpus Christi 43 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
16.0 Materials Along the Route to the Site
As per the "Materials Along the Route to the Site" requirements specified in 30 TAC §
330.145, the City of Corpus Christi is required to take steps to encourage waste disposal
vehicles to carry their load in enclosed containers or provide a tarpaulin, net, or other
means to properly secure the load. A sign will be posted stating this policy at the CR20
entrance and at the gate house. These steps are necessary to prevent the escape of any
part of the load by blowing or spilling. The landfill personnel will be responsible for the
cleanup of waste material spilled along and within the right-of-way of all public access
roads serving the site for a distance of 2 miles in either direction from the entrance on
CR20.This will be done every day that the landfill is in operation.The actions taken and
volumes handled will be recorded in the Site Operating Record.

17.0 Disposal of Large Items
As per the "Disposal of Large Items" requirements specified in 30 TAC § 330.147, the
City of Corpus Christi is required to manage large items in such a way that they do not
present an interference to site operations and/or to avoid any potential environmental
issue that might impact the site and/or its surroundings.
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning units, or other items containing CFC refrigerant
will not be accepted for disposal at the working face unless the CFC's contained in the
item have been removed completely by a licensed contractor in accordance with 40 CFR
§ 82.156(f), as amended. The City of Corpus Christi will hire a licensed contractor to
remove the CFC's contained in the items prior to disposal at the working face. The City
of Corpus Christi will temporarily store items containing CFC's in the"Appliance Area"
located inside the landfill. The Appliance Area is sufficiently large to temporarily store
large items awaiting CFC extraction. The Appliance Area will be separated from the
working face by more than 500 feet to avoid any possible interference with disposal
operations and/or to avoid any potential environmental issue that might impact the site
and/or its surroundings.
17.1 Items classified as Large,Heavy or Bulky Items(White Goods)
The following list gives examples of items that are considered as large,heavy,or bulky.
• Refrigerators of various sizes
• Air conditioners of various sizes
• Dryers of various sizes
• Washers of various sizes
• Freezers of various sizes
The above list is not inclusive and more items can be added at the Landfill Manager's
discretion.
City of Corpus Christi 45 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
Large items will be placed in the designated appliance area and recycled when possible.
Large items including appliances will be removed at least monthly to eliminate the
potential from these materials from becoming a nuisance. Tires that are delivered
comingled with other waste and that are removed from the working face will be stored at
the white goods area and recycled. Whole used or scrap tires will not be knowingly
disposed. Scrap tires will be removed from this area every two weeks. Tires and
appliances will be managed in a manner to reduce and eliminate possible ponding of
water to eliminate potential conditions that would promote disease vectors.
If disposed, they will be reduced in size at the working face to the extent practical. Large
and bulky items, including brush will be disposed near the bottom of the fill face. Items
that can be classified as large,heavy, or bulky can include, but are not limited to,white
goods(household appliances), air conditioner units,metal tanks,large metal pieces,large
pieces of brush and automobiles. Special care will be taken to achieve the maximum
practical compaction of these items prior to placement of the next layer of waste in the
lift. Special care will be taken while disposing these materials so that the liner is not
damaged while this material is disposed. These materials will not be placed within the
first five feet above the liner or sidewalls.
17.2 Management of Items Containing CFCs
The respective license and certifications for the contractor will be kept on file at the •
•
landfill office. The contractor will remove all CFCs from the site upon extraction. The
Landfill Manager will work to keep the storage of appliances on site to a minimum
number of days,never to exceed more than one month.
City of Corpus Christi 46 July 2007

18.0 Air Criteria
As per the "Air Criteria" requirements specified in 30 TAC § 330.149,the City of Corpus
Christi is subject to TCEQ rules concerning burning and air pollution control, this
includes nuisance odors, outdoor burning, visible emissions, and particulate matter
control requirements.
Sources of Odor
Potential odor sources associated with a municipal solid waste landfill facility may
include the wastes being delivered to the landfill, the open working face, the leachate
collection system, leachate storage ponds or tanks, ponded water, and landfill gas. Many
of the wastes received at a landfill are a source of odor upon receipt, such as sludges and
dead animals. Other wastes have the potential for becoming sources as they biodegrade
during the decomposition process. Leachate, liquid that has passed through or emerged
from solid waste, may also be a source of odor if not properly handled or managed in a
timely manner. Ponded water and landfill gas could become a source of odor as well. Due
to the landfill being in a remote area with few neighbors, problems associated with odors
will be minimal.
18.1 Odor Management Plan
The odor management plan addresses the handling of particular odorous waste at the
landfill. Odor control measures may include, but are not limited to the following items:
■ Control of any ponded water at the site to avoid its becoming an odor nuisance
■ Incoming waste should be promptly landfilled.
■ To avoid spillage and to minimize exposure to the atmosphere, removal of
leachate should be done under appropriate weather conditions (i.e. low wind
speeds,no rain).
■ Regular inspections and repairs of the gasket, cap, and leachate riser backfill
material.
■ Use of vapor-tight gaskets on all leachate sumps.
City of Corpus Christi q7 October 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version
• Adding leachate collection systems to the gas management system.
■ Daily visits on days that the landfill is in operation will be made to the leachate
storage ponds or tanks to determine any odor problems. In the event of odor
problems,the storage facilities will be examined and appropriate measures will be
employed to minimize the odors. We do not anticipate any issues arising from
odor. The wind is predominantly from the southeast and the nearest neighbor is
approximately 1.5 miles from the ponds. If the wind is from the north, there are
no neighbors within two miles of the south property line.The areas adjacent to the
ponds are agricultural and no development is anticipated. However, if odor
becomes an issue (complaint from a nearby neighbor specifically regarding odor
from the ponds), then the City shall interview the neighbor and determine the
cause of the odor. If it is determined that the odor is from the ponds and is a
nuisance, then proper measures shall be taken as appropriate in accordance with
current design standards. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, the
use of aerators, bubblers, and as a last resort removing the leachate and
transporting it off-site for treatment.
• In the event objectionable odors occur, appropriate measures should be taken to
alleviate the condition.
■ Identify known sources of odorous wastes and specify a time of day for these
wastes to be received so that they can be given special attention.
■ If odors are a result of improper use of alternate daily cover material, the cover
material will need to be re-evaluated.
• Spills of odorous material should be promptly managed.
■ Damage or erosion of daily,alternate or final cover should be promptly repaired
NOTE: The City of Corpus Christi (Nueces County in general) is not in a State
Implementation Plan(SIP)designated jurisdiction;therefore SIP criteria does not apply.
18.2 Open Burning
Open burning is banned at the landfill,unless specifically authorized by the TCEQ to
manage emergency situations, such as burning of brush when an emergency situation
arises,i.e.hurricanes. oa.�m u.�.,4, .,

19.0 Disease Vector Control
As per the "Disease Vector Control" criteria specified in 30 TAC § 330.151,the City of
Corpus Christi is required to control vectors such as rodents, flies, and mosquitoes at
landfills through daily site operations, which include the application of daily,
intermediate, and final cover. Landfill operators will conduct routine checks for insects or
rodents associated with the operations and will report problems to the Landfill Manager.
If necessary, a licensed professional should apply pesticides to ensure that proper
chemicals are used and are properly applied.
City of Corpus Christi 49 July 2007

20.0 Site Access Roads
As per the"Site Access Roads" requirements of 30 TAC § 330.153, the City of Corpus
Christi is required to control and minimize mud, dust and litter from the landfill onto
public roadways The entrance to the facility from CR20 and interior access roads within
the landfill are all weather roads. These roads are provided for access to the active
disposal area. Re-grading to minimize potholes will be performed as necessary. The
following steps will be taken to control and minimize the impact of mud, dust and litter
from the facility:
20.1 Control and Minimization of Mud:
The road construction material will consist of caliche, limestone, or recycled asphalt,
which provides mud control for waste disposal vehicles prior to exiting the site and
returning to public roadways. The entrance to the landfill will be swept at least once per
day on days when mud and associated debris are being tracked onto the public roadway,
and as necessary to control excessive amounts of mud that the daily maintenance crew
cannot handle. Mud and associated debris will be controlled through the use of all-
weather roads, mechanical or hand sweepers, and equipment capable of scraping mud
from the roads.
20.2 Control and Minimization of Dust:
Dust at the facility will be controlled by watering the access roads as necessary to
suppress dust generation. The water source may be clean storm water (including that
storm water captured during cell construction), or applicable potable water supply
system.
20.3 Control and Minimization of Litter:
For control and minimization of windblown solid waste and litter see Section 13.
City of Corpus Christi 50 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
20.4 Re-grading of Site Access Roads:
The site access roads will be re-graded at the discretion of the Landfill Manager but at
least once a quarter.

21.0 Salvaging and Scavenging
As per the"Salvaging and Scavenging"requirements specified in 30 TAC§330.155,the
City of Corpus Christi is required to take the necessary steps to ensure that salvaging
efforts do not interfere with sanitary disposal operations,and that scavenging activities do
not occur on site.
21.1 Salvaging Operations
Salvaged materials should be considered as potential recyclable materials and may be
stored in a designated collection area. Salvaged items should be recycled often enough to
prevent an excessive accumulation of the material at the site to prevent odor or other
nuisance conditions from developing and to eliminate the risk of discharge of pollutants.
Items recovered through salvage operations will be removed from the site at least once
per month.
21.2 Scavenging Activities
Scavenging will be prohibited at all times on site. The City of Corpus Christi will take
necessary measures to prevent scavenging activities on site.
City of Corpus Christi 52 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
22.0 Endangered Species Protection
Based on previous studies and a determination by both the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department and the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service, operations of the site is not likely to
impact endangered species (animal or plant). As the facility is developed site personnel
should notify the Landfill Manager if any change in this status is suspected.
Previous evaluation and the findings of the Texas Historical Commission indicated that
cultural resources do not exist on site. As the facility is developed, site personnel should
notify the Landfill Manager if any change in this status is suspected.
The Landfill Manager will be responsible for reporting suspected changes to the status of
endangered species or cultural resources to the Director of Solid Waste Services. The
Director will then take appropriate action which may include notification of authorities as
appropriate,and ordering modification of activities in the area of concern.
City of Corpus Christi 53 July 2007
Cefe ValenzueIa Landfill-SOP Version 1
23.0 Landfill Gas Control
As per the"Landfill Gas Control"requirements of 30 TAC§ 330.159,the City of Corpus
Christi is required to control and monitor landfill gas in accordance with the "Gas
Management Plan" included in Part III of the Permit Application and Site Development
Plan,Attachment 14. The Permit Application and Site Development Plan can be found in
the landfill's document library as per the"Recordkeeping Requirements" specified in 30
TAC§330.125.The landfill gas monitoring results will be kept in the facility's operating
record and submitted to the TCEQ in accordance with the Site Development Plan,
Attachment 14.
23.1 Perimeter Monitoring
23.1.1 Perimeter Monitoring Network
The LFG monitoring probe network will include LFG monitoring probes and utility
trench vents.The LFG monitoring probes will be located along the permit boundary and
north of Unit 2. The utility trench vents will be located on each utility easement within
2,000 feet of the waste disposal areas. The probes and vents will be installed sequentially
as the development of the fill areas progress. The probes and vents will be installed at
locations when waste disposal is within 2,000 feet. Locations of the proposed monitoring
probes and vents,was well as the installation sequence plan,are shown in Appendix 14A,
Figure 14A. 1.
Permanent LFG monitoring probes of a single tube design will be used to detect the
presence of LFG in subsurface soil. The single tube probe design was chosen for two
reasons. First, it provides monitoring of the soil strata for the total depth of the probe,
minimizing the possibility of undetected LFG migration through an unscreened zone.
Second, it is difficult to achieve and maintain positive seals between separate monitoring
zones within a single well-bore,which increases the chance for misinterpreted monitoring
results.
City of Corpus Christi Sa July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
Utility trench vents will be used to detect the presence of LFG within the utility
easements.Utility trench vents will be installed with a monitoring port for monitoring for
the presence of LFG. The vent was selected to serve as a means of monitoring due to its
ability to also be used to mitigate LFG migration within the utility easements should it
occur.
23.1.2 Landfill Gas Monitoring Probes and Utility Trench Vents
Proposed LFG monitoring probes will be installed consistent with guidelines presented in
the TCQ Municipal Solid Waste Division Methane Monitoring Handbook, Version 2,
December 1993.Probes will be installed to monitor the soil strata above the higher of the
lowest measured groundwater level at the monitoring point or the lowest current or
planned future elevation of waste within 1,000 feet of the monitoring point. The probes
will be screened from approximately 1.5 feet above the bottom of the borehole to within
approximately 5 feet of the ground surface. Washed pea gravel will be placed in the
borehole to approximately 6 inches above the screened interval and approximately 6
inches of sand will be placed over the pea gravel. Bentonite pellets will be placed above
the sand and hydrated to form an impermeable layer to prevent air and water intrusion
into the probe boring. A concrete pad and a steel casing extending into the borehole and
above the ground surface will also be installed.A PVC cap with a quick connect coupling
will be installed at the top of the probe for ease of monitoring. No solvents or PVC
cement, which may affect monitoring results, will be used during construction of the
probes. A typical detail of the proposed LFG monitoring probes is provided on Figure
14A.2 in Appendix 14A.
23.1.3 Monitoring Procedures
Methane concentrations will be measured using a combustible gas indicator calibrated
against a methane standard with a sampling line for drawing samples directly to the
indicator without diluting the sample. The indicator should give a direct reading of
methane concentration by volume. Equipment maintenance requirements, monitoring
procedures, and calibration information for the instruments used to monitor methane
concentrations should be kept on site with the LFG monitoring records described in
Section 3.3. Monitoring will be conducted under the oversight of the Chief Landfill
City of Corpus Christi 55 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
Foreman by qualified personnel or a qualified consultant. The results will be recorded on
the attached Quarterly Landfill Gas Monitoring Report(Appendix 14B), or similar form,
and maintained in the Site Operating Record.
If one of the tests indicate that the allowable concentration of methane has been
exceeded,verification procedures, described in Section 4 of Part III, Attachment 14,will
be implemented. If verification procedures indicate allowable limits are being exceeded,
notification procedures,also described in Section 4,will be implemented.
23.1.4 Maintenance Procedures
Each time LFG monitoring is conducted, the integrity of the LFG monitoring probes and
utility trench vents will be inspected by the sampler. The sampler will record pertinent
information on the Quarterly Landfill Gas Monitoring Report(Appendix 14B)or similar
forms.The Quarterly Landfill Gas Monitoring Report will be kept on file at the facility.
The sampler will perform the following at each monitoring event:
• Verify that the LFG monitoring probe or utility trench vent number is clearly
labeled on the outer casing or lid.
• Verify that the protective casing is intact and is not bent or excessively corroded.
• Verify that the concrete pad is intact(no evidence of cracking or heaving).
• Verify that the padlock is functional.
• Verify that the inner casing is intact.
If damage or excessive wear to the LFG monitoring probe or utility trench vent is
observed, it will be reported to the Landfill Foreman. If it is not possible to repair the
LFG monitoring probe or utility trench vent and the damage can potentially affect the
accuracy of future monitoring results, the LFG monitoring probe or utility trench vent
will be decommissioned and replaced with a new LFG monitoring probe or utility trench
vent in accordance with Sections 3.1.2 and 3.4 of the Landfill Gas Management Plan.
City of Corpus Christi 56 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
The combustible gas monitoring instrument should be calibrated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The maintenance requirements for the
monitoring instrument will be available on site with the LEG monitoring records
described in Section 3.3.
23.2 Recordkeeping/Reporting
Field monitoring data records will be maintained for the methane monitoring and kept on
site as part of the Site Operating Record. Field data will be recorded on the Quarterly
Landfill Gas Monitoring Report form(or similar form)as shown in Appendix 14B of Part
III.
Quarterly monitoring results will be submitted to the TCEQ Executive Director or his
authorized representative. Monitoring probes and utility trench vents will be monitored
quarterly during the following periods:
LFG Monitoring Quarters
First Quarter: January-March
Second Quarter: April-June
Third Quarter: July-September
Fourth Quarter: October-December
The LFG Monitoring Program will continue for a period of 30 years after the final
closure of the facility or until the owner or operator receives written authorization from
TCEQ to revise or discontinue the program.
City of Corpus Christi 57 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
24.0 Oil, Gas, and Water Wells
As per the"Oil, Gas and Water Wells"requirements specified in 30 TAC § 330.161 the
City of Corpus Christi is required to identify the location of any known abandoned oil or
water wells on site.
Oil wells, gas wells, and water wells associated with support of oil and gas drilling, are
known to have been drilled on the site. During the course of site development,but prior
to beginning construction on the site,the Landfill Manager will:
a) Provide written notification to the TCEQ of the location of all known existing or
abandoned water wells, crude oil wells, natural gas wells, or other wells
associated with mineral recovery,situated within the site.
b) Provide written certification to the TCEQ, that all such abandoned wells have
been properly capped in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the
Railroad Commission of Texas.
c) Provide a demonstration to the TCEQ that all such wells which are still in use at
the time of the notification will not conflict with the development of the site.The
demonstration will include a schedule for abandonment and plugging of wells
which are anticipated to eventually conflict with the site development. Also
included will be plans for protection of such wells, if necessary, until they are
abandoned and plugged.
24.1 Discovery of Water Wells during Facility Operation
As the site is developed,if any water wells are encountered they should be exposed, and
the casing should be cut to a minimum of 2 feet below the excavation, and the well
should be capped and plugged in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of
the TCEQ,the Railroad Commission of Texas, or other applicable state agency. If water
wells are located the Landfill Manager or its designee must, within 30 days, provide
written notification to the TCEQ's executive director of the location of any and all
existing or abandoned water wells. Within 30 days of discovery, the Landfill Manager
City of Corpus Christi ss July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
will provide written certification to the Executive Director that all such wells have been
capped,plugged, and closed in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the
TCEQ or other state agency. A copy of all well plugging reports and closure
documentation will be submitted with the closure certification.
24.2 Discovery of Oil and Gas Wells during Facility Operations
The Landfill Manager will immediately provide written notification to.the Executive
Director of the location of any and all existing or abandoned on-site crude oil or natural
gas wells, or other wells associated with mineral recovery. The Landfill Manager will
provide the Executive Director a written notification that all such wells have been
properly capped, plugged, and closed in accordance with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Texas Railroad Commission. A copy of the well plugging report
required to be submitted to the appropriate state agency will also be submitted to the
Executive Director of the TCEQ within 30 days after the well has been plugged.
City of Corpus Christi 59 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
25.0 Compaction
As per the "Compaction" requirements specified in 30 TAC § 330.163, the City of
Corpus Christi is required to compact the incoming waste to provide a more efficient use
of available space and reduce the amount of settling after the fill is complete.
Compaction will be accomplished with an adequately sized landfill garbage compactor(s)
to minimize the volume of loose material and have more air space available for waste
disposal operations.
25.1 Compaction of Waste during Placement of Ballast
If waste is used as ballast,the Landfill Manager and/or designee will be on-site full time
during the placement of the first five (5) feet of waste over the liner system. He/she will
verify that this lower five (5) feet of waste does not contain large bulky items that could
damage the liner system or that cannot be compacted to the required density. The Landfill
Manager and/or designee will document that the waste used for ballast has been
compacted.
City of Corpus Christi 60 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
26.0 Landfill Cover
As per the "Landfill Cover" requirements specified in 30 TAC § 330.165, the City of
Corpus Christi is required to apply daily cover to control disease vectors, windblown
waste,odors,fires,and scavenging,and to promote runoff from the fill area.
26.1 Soil Management
A stockpile or borrow source for soil cover material will be maintained on-site.The cover
material will not have been previously mixed with wastes. On-site soils are suitable for
cover material as well as other soils deemed appropriate by the landfill manager. The
cover material should be managed so as to not interfere with vehicular traffic or impede
drainage. At least a portion of this cover material should be stockpiled near the workface
for potential emergency fire control.
Temporary excess soil will be stockpiled in the buffer areas, on filled areas and on side
slopes for future use on the site or for removal from the site. All stockpiles will be
maintained in conformance with the Erosion Control Plan. Stockpiles will be oriented
generally parallel to the direction of surface drainage in any given area and will not alter
drainage patterns nor block the use of the buffer areas by fire and emergency equipment.
26.2 Daily Cover
Daily cover of waste will be applied at least once daily to control disease vectors,
windblown waste, odors, fires, scavenging, and to prevent excessive accumulation of
water within the fill. Soils and alternate daily covers that include tarps or foams, or a
combination of the three, will be utilized to complete the daily cover at the site. The use
of Saniform (or equivalent) or polyethylene tarps as an alternative daily cover was
previously approved for the Cefe Landfill.Alternate daily cover material will not be used
if the landfill will be closed more than 24 hours. Quarterly status reports will be
submitted to the TCEQ for four consecutive quarters in the event that alternative daily
cover is used.
City of Corpus Christi 61 July 2007
Cafe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
26.2.1 3-M Sanifoam (or equivalent)
3-M Sanifoam (or equivalent) cover will be used routinely as daily cover. 3-M Sanifoam
is an air-injected, two component synthetic foam that can be sprayed onto the landfill
solid waste surface to form an expanded protective foam blanket. The spray thickness
will be between one(1) and two(2)inches.The applied foam "sets up"within 60 seconds
to a durable solid state with consistency similar to crushable expanded polystyrene. The
foam is non-toxic and non-combustible, and is biodegradable. The hardened foam is
water insoluble which promotes rainfall runoff, exhibits extremely low gas permeability
that prevents escape of vapors and odors,it seals the waste from flies and other. Rodents
and vectors, and adheres to the waste preventing litter and dust from blowing. The foam
is mechanically crushed and broken up during subsequent landfill operations for
unimpeded movement of methane gas and leachate in the cell. Technical data sheets and
MSDS are attached for further information in Appendix IV-A.
The foam is sprayed on with a machine specially designed for this product. The machine
( Coverfoam Services, Inc., model PB-250-D, or equivalent) uses a spray bar system to
apply an even coat of foam over the solid waste. The machine is pulled by a dozer or
other tractor over the solid waste making several adjacent passes until the surface is
completely covered.
During periods of inclement weather (i.e., rain) where the foam may not set properly,
foam operations will be suspended and the working face will be covered by the use of
polyethylene tarps or soil.
26.2.2 Polyethylene Tarps
Polyethylene tarp covers will also be used for daily cover. Typically these tarps will be
used in small working faces (less than 200' x 200') and on slopes too steep for 3-M
Sanifoam application.The tarps are fifty feet by fifty feet(50'x 50')in size and are made
City of Corpus Christi G2 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
out of a fire retardant woven fabric which repels water.The tarps are an effective barrier
against vectors, odors, and windblown litter by effectively sealing in the waste. MSDS
and physical properties for the tarp materials are attached in Appendix IV-A.
These tarps will be installed by Iandfill personnel by hand at the end of the day. Tarp
installation will be such that they overlap by a minimum of one foot in such a manner so
that rainfall will run off with minimal or no infiltration. Tarps will be weighted down
with automobile tires along the perimeter and the center to prevent the wind from
blowing them off the working face. The following morning, the tarps will be pulled off
the working face by landfill personnel either by hand or using a dozer before the start of
the day's operations.
26.3 Soil
A well-compacted six (6) inch soil cover will be used to cover solid waste when ADC
materials are not used. The soil cover will be clean and not previously mixed with waste
materials.When a period of greater than 24 hours is expected to lapse before solid waste
disposal will resume at a specific working face or area, soil cover will be used in lieu of
ADC. A period of greater than 24 hours may occur when the site closes on a weekend,
when the working face is temporarily moved to a new area,or other reasons.
26.4 Intermediate Cover
The top and sides of the landfill working face will be shaped to conform to landfill
operations. Intermediate cover soil will then be transported to the working face or any
area that has already received daily cover,where it will be deposited near the upper end
of the working face, spread, and compacted. Intermediate cover will consist of soils that
have not been previously mixed with wastes and will be capable of sustaining native
plant growth.
All areas that receive waste and then become inactive for longer than 180 days will be
covered with an additional six (6) inches of compacted cover material,for a total cover

thickness of at least 12 inches.When the area is to be reused,some of this cover material
will then be removed from use as daily cover on new areas,if it can be removed cleanly.
To minimize erosion and maintain adequate control of storm water, temporary let down
structures may be used on intermediate cover. The intermediate cover will be seeded or
sodded following its application,and vegetation and other erosion control features will be
maintained on areas that have received intermediate cover. Grading of the intermediate
•
cover will be undertaken in a manner to prevent ponding of water. This is discussed in
Section 27.0. I�
26.5 Final Cover over Class 1 Waste
Final cover construction and maintenance will be in compliance with Attachment 12 —
Final Closure Plan—in the Site Development Plan,and with Chapter 330,Subchapter K.
26.6 Final Cover
The Final Closure Plan allows for successive closure of areas of the site as they become
filled to capacity. The final cover will be maintained in a manner consistent with
Attachment 12 of Part III -- Final Closure Plan and the requirements of Chapter 330
Subchapter K. Closure of individual areas will be in accordance with the "Sector Fill
Plan". The City will implement the plan as ongoing landfilling operations to continue
until the time of final closure.The surface will be managed throughout the active life of
the site to minimize infiltration into the filled areas and to minimize contact with solid
waste. In general, closure of completed portions of the site will consist of the following
steps:
1. Survey controls will be implemented to control the filling of solid waste to the
lower level of the final cover.
2. A surveyed grid system or other suitable surveying measures will be used to
control placement of the final infiltration layer.
3. Testing of the various components of the final cover system will be performed in
accordance with the TCEQ regulations.
City of Corpus Christi 64 August 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 2
4. During the first growing season following application of final cover system, the
area will be vegetated with appropriate grasses to minimize erosion.
26.7 Cover Application Log
Throughout the active life of the landfill, a cover application log will be maintained and
made readily available for inspection.For intermediate cover and daily cover,the log will
specify the area covered, how it was placed and when it was completed. For final cover,
the log will specify the amount of cover applied over each area (thickness) and when it
was applied. The cover log will be located inside the landfill office unless otherwise
directed by the Landfill Manager.
City of Corpus Christi 65 August 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 2
27.0 Ponded Water
As per the "Ponded Water" requirements of 30 TAC § 330.167, the City of Corpus
Christi is required to prevent and control the ponding of water inside the landfill.Ponded
water can be breeding grounds for vectors, and can be a source of harborage for vectors.
Site grading and maintenance activities will be performed on an as needed basis to help
minimize the ponding of water over waste areas. Should ponded water occur, it will be
removed and depressions will be filled as soon as practicable but no later than seven (7)
days after the occurrence. If the ponded water has come into contact with waste, leachate,
or waste contaminated soils, the ponded water will be treated as leachate and managed in
accordance with Part III of the Permit Application and Site Development Plan,
Attachment 15-Leachate and Contaminated Water Plan. The Permit Application and Site
Development Plan can be found in the landfill's organized document library.
27.1 Ponded Water Prevention
The City will manage the working face of the landfill in a manner that reduces the
potential for water collecting and ponding. This will be accomplished by maintaining the
working face at sufficient grades so as to promote water running off the exposed waste or
daily cover. Water that may pond at the working face will be removed using landfill
equipment. Water that comes in contact with waste will be treated as contaminated water
and disposed of accordingly. Water that may pond in areas where it does not come in
contact with waste will be treated as storm water.
27.2 Routine Inspections to Identify Potential Ponding Locations
Following major storm events, the City will undertake an assessment of the site to
identify areas of potential or actual ponding. In addition, the City conducts at least
monthly reviews of the entire site to identify possible depressions as locations of possible
future ponding. City crews will be directed to these locations to re-grade areas to reduce
the potential for future ponding.
City of Corpus Christi 66 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
Directives to fill and re-grade potential ponding locations will be undertaken as soon as
practical after they have been identified. Ponded water that occurs in the active portion
of the landfill will be eliminated and the area in which the ponding occurred will be filled
in and regarded within seven days of detection.
During extremely wet conditions, or periods of extended storms, disposal activities will
be limited to the wet weather area. Priorities for staff during these periods are to
maintain access into and out of the site and provide disposal services as efficiently as
possible. Within 7 days of extended wet weather conditions, the City will evaluate the
site to identify areas where ponding has occurred and will take corrective actions to
reduce ponding in areas of the working face and closed areas.
27.3 Record Keeping
As a part of the overall site review, records will be maintained to identify areas where
ponding has occurred. Documentation of work completed will also be placed in the site's
file.

28.0 Disposal of Special Wastes
As per the "Disposal of Special Wastes" requirements specified in 30 TAC § 330.171,
the City of Corpus Christi is required to handle special wastes in a manner consistent
with TCEQ regulations.
The definition of special waste can be found in 30 TAC§330.3,which states that special
wastes are wastes that because of their quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or
biological properties require special handling and disposal to protect human health or the
environment.The facility will handle special waste according to the following guidelines.
28.1 Protocol for Disposal of Special Waste
If a generator wishes to dispose of a special waste at Cefe Valenzuela Landfill, the
generator must submit to the Landfill Manager a completed City of Corpus Christi
Generator's Waste Profile Sheet (GWPS) in order to provide a complete profile for the
special waste. The City of Corpus Christi will determine if the special waste falls in the
category of special wastes that do not require further disposal authorization from TCEQ,
or if the waste falls in the category of special wastes that do require special disposal
authorization from TCEQ.
If the special waste falls in the category of special wastes that do not require special
disposal authorization from TCEQ, then the special waste will be further evaluated using
the criteria established for special wastes. If the special waste meets all the conditions
mentioned previously, then the special waste will be considered "acceptable for
disposal".
If the special waste falls in the category of special wastes that do require special disposal
authorization from TCEQ, then the generator or its designee will be responsible for
obtaining special disposal authorization from TCEQ.
City of Corpus Christi 63 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
The Landfill Manager will reserve the right to accept or reject any special waste load,
even if the special waste load is deemed acceptable, if at any point he feels that the
facility could potentially receive a negative impact from the acceptance of the special
waste load.
28.2 Special Wastes That Do Not Require Special Waste Disposal Authorization
from TCEQ
According to 30 TAC § 330.171(c) the following special wastes do not require written
authorization for acceptance provided that the waste is handled in accordance with the
noted provisions for each waste.
a)Special Waste from Health Care Related Facilities
Special wastes from health care related facilities which have been previously treated in
accordance with the procedures specified in 30 TAC § 330 Subchapter Y (relating to
Medical Waste Management)may be accepted.
b)Dead Animals and/or Slaughterhouse Waste
Dead animals and/or slaughterhouse waste may be accepted at without further approval
from the TCEQ provided that the carcasses and/or slaughterhouse waste are covered by
three feet of other solid waste or at least two feet of earthen material immediately upon
receipt.
c)Regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials(RACM)
RACM may be accepted at the facility in accordance with TAC § 330.171(c)(3) and as
authorized in the original permit. Prior to initial receipt of RACM at this facility, the
Landfill Manager will dedicate a specific area(s) of the landfill for receipt of RACM and
notify the TCEQ in writing of the designated area(s). The Landfill Manager will also
prepare a contingency plan in case of ruptured bags and designate appropriate personnel
for implementation of the contingency plan. As the operation continues, the Landfill
Manager will notify the TCEQ in writing of any new dedicated areas for RACM.

Each load of RACM that arrives on-site will be documented. This documentation will
include the volume of material, and the location and depth of its disposal. RACM
disposal locations will be identified by survey (Registered Professional Land Surveyor)
and identified on a current site drawing at the site.
Delivery of RACM will be coordinated with the Landfill Manager so that the waste will
arrive during times that it can be properly managed by site personnel.
RACM will be accepted at the site only if it is contained in tightly closed containers or
bags,or wrapped as necessary with 6-mil thick polyethylene.
RACM will be placed in landfill units such that it will not be exposed as a result of
erosion or weathering. When possible this will be achieved by placing the RACM below
the natural grade. At a minimum, the RACM will be placed at least 20 feet away from
exterior final sideslopes, and at least 10 feet below final grade. During unloading and
placement of RACM in the waste fill,care will be exercised to prevent breaking open the
bags or containers. One foot of soil cover or 3-feet of asbestos-free municipal solid waste
will be placed over the RACM immediately after it is placed in the landfill unit.
RACM that has been designated as Class 1 industrial solid waste, and that arrives at the
facility will be disposed of in accordance with TAC § 330.173(g)-(i) or in accordance
with this section of the Site Operating Plan.
Upon closure of the facility, a notation indicating that the site accepted RACM will be
placed in the deed record. This notation will indicate where the RACM was disposed of
on the property by showing its location on a site diagram. A copy of this documentation
will be provided to the TCEQ.
d)Non-regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials(non-RACM)
Non-regulated asbestos containing materials (non-RACM) may be accepted for disposal
provided the wastes are placed on the active working face and covered in accordance
City of Corpus Christi 70 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
with the requirements of 30 TAC § 330 (relating to Municipal Solid Wastes). Under no
circumstances may any material containing non-RACM be placed on any surface or
roadway which is subject to vehicular traffic or disposed of by any other means by which
the material could be crumbled into a friable state.
e)Empty Containers which have been used for Pesticides,Herbicides,Fungicides,or
Rodenticides
Empty containers which have been used for pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or
rodenticides must be disposed of in accordance with the provisions mentioned below.
These containers may be disposed of provided that the following 3 conditions are met:
▪ The containers are triple-rinsed prior to receipt at the landfill
• The containers are rendered unusable prior to or upon receipt at the landfill;
and
■ The containers are covered by the end of the same working day they are
received.
Those containers for which triple-rinsing is not feasible or practical (e.g. paper bag,
cardboard containers) may be disposed of under the provisions of 30 TAC
§330.171(c)(5).
I)Municipal Hazardous Waste from Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity
Generators(CESQG)
Municipal hazardous waste from a conditionally exempt small quantity generator
(CESQG) may be accepted at a Type I municipal solid waste landfill without further
approval from the executive director provided the amount of waste does not exceed 220
pounds (100 kilograms) per month per generator, and provided the landfill owner or
operator authorizes acceptance of the waste.

N,Vt per the `Disposal of Industrial Wastes"requirements of 30 TAC§ 330.173,the City
of Corpus Christi is required to address the types of Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastes
that are acceptable for disposal at Cefe Valenzuela Landfill.Industrial Wastes are defined
in 30 TAC§ 330.3 as solid wastes resulting from or incidental to any process of industry
or manufacturing, or mining or agricultural operations.
29.1 Protocol for Disposal of Industrial Waste
If an industrial generator wishes to dispose of waste at Cefe Valenzuela, the industrial
generator will first classify the waste and submit a completed Waste Profile Sheet to the
City of Corpus Christi for evaluation. The City of Corpus Christi will determine if the
classification performed by the industrial waste generator seeking disposal authorization
is consistent with the waste classification criteria in §330.3 (Definitions) and Chapter
335, Subchapter R. Wastes should be classified by generator prior to delivery to the
landfill. The City of Corpus Christi will determine if the waste is a Class 1, 2, or 3
Industrial Waste. The Cefe ValenzueIa Landfill is permitted to accept CIass 1, 2, and 3
Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastes.
Disposal of Class 1 Non-Hazardous Industrial Solid Wastes will be accomplished in
accordance with the requirements of 30 TAC§330.173.The phrase"dedicated trench"as
used in the regulations means the specific area in which Class 1 waste is placed for
disposal.
All shipments of Class 1 waste will be accompanied by a manifest (waste-shipping
control ticket) as required by the commission. The Landfill Manager will sign the
manifest for any authorized shipments of Class 1 waste. The Landfill Manager will not
accept or sign for shipments of Class I waste for which the authorization to accept has
not been granted by the executive director .or has not been authorized by permit
provisions. The landfill will retain the disposal facility copy of the manifest for a period
City of Corpus Christi 73 August 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 2
of three years. This time period is automatically extended if any enforcement action
involving the City or the landfill is initiated or pending by the executive director.
When the landfill accepts any Class 1 waste, a written report of Class 1 waste received
will be submitted to the executive director. This report will be submitted no later than the
25th day of the month following the month that the waste was received. Reports will be
submitted on forms provided by the TCEQ and will include all the required information.
Monthly reports regarding acceptance of Class 1 waste will be submitted,including those
months in which no Class I waste is received at the landfill unless an exception is granted
by the executive director.
While Class 1 Non-Hazardous Industrial Solid Waste will be placed only in dedicated
areas, specific dedicated areas not identified at this time.All permitted disposal areas that
are below the elevation of the surrounding natural grade may be dedicated to Class I
waste disposal.However, specific areas to be dedicated to Class 1 waste disposal will be
identified as the site is developed. When new dedicated areas for Class 1 waste are
identified, site drawings will be modified as appropriate. Modified site drawings will be
submitted to the TCEQ for review and approval. Areas dedicated to Class 1 waste
disposal will be constructed in accordance with the requirements as discussed in Part III
of the Permit Application and Site Development Plan, Attachment 10 Soil and Liner
Quality Control Plan.
The volume of Class 1 Non-Hazardous waste disposed at the site in any one year will not
exceed 20 percent of the total amount of waste(not including Class I wastes) accepted
during the same or previous year of operation.
Wastes which are Class 1 Non-Hazardous Industrial Solid Wastes only because of
asbestos content may be accepted at the facility in accordance with the requirements of
30 TAC § 330.171.
City of Corpus Christi 74 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
Class 2 and 3 Non-Hazardous Industrial Solid Wastes,except special wastes as defined in
§330.3,will be accepted for disposal at any point in time provided they can be managed
with regular MSW in any available disposal area and will not interfere with facility
operation.
29.2 Class 1 Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastes
A Class 1 Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste is any industrial solid waste or mixture of
industrial solid wastes that because of its concentration or physical or chemical
characteristics is toxic,corrosive,flammable,a strong sensitizer or irritant,a generator of
sudden pressure by decomposition, heat, or other means, and may pose a substantial
present or potential danger to human health or the environment when improperly
processed, stored, transported, or otherwise managed as defined in 30 TAC §335.505
(relating to Class 1 Waste Determination).
29.3 Class 2 Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastes
A Class 2 Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste is any individual solid waste or combination
of industrial solid wastes that cannot be described as hazardous,Class 1, or Class 3 Non-
Hazardous Industrial Wastes, as defined in 30 TAC § 335.506(relating to Class 2 Waste
Determination).
29.4 Class 3 Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastes
A Class 3 Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastes is any inert and essentially insoluble
industrial solid waste, including materials such as rock, brick, dirt, and certain plastics
and rubber, etc., that are not readily decomposable as defined in 30 TAC § 335.507
(relating to Class 3 Waste Determination). �`p �rw , / (�

30.0 Visual Screening of Deposited Wastes
The development of the disposal sectors or cells is performed in such a way as to
minimize the visual appearance of waste disposal operations from beyond the property
border. Disposal operations take place in different sectors or cells depending on the
circumstances and weather conditions. All disposal operations are conducted in
accordance with the following sections of this SOP to minimize the visual impact of
waste disposal operations:
• Section 26(relating to Landfill Cover)
o Section 25(relating to Compaction)
o Section 21 (relating to Salvaging and Scavenging)
o Section 19(relating to Disease Vector Control)
o Section 13(relating to Control of Windblown Solid Waste and Litter)
o Section 10(relating to Unloading of Waste)
Unless otherwise indicated by the TCEQ, the City of Corpus Christi will continue
performing operations as usual observing the sections mentioned above and
implementing good housekeeping practices as necessary.
Visual screening of waste disposal activities will be accomplished primarily by:
e Vegetative screening on outer perimeter of the landfill area,and
e Vegetative screening along eastern side of the entrance road.
Visual screening will be developed in general accordance with the Fill Sequence plans in
Attachment I of the Site Development Plan. Vegetation will consist of appropriate trees,
shrubs, and grasses recommended for the Corpus Christi area by the USDA or the Texas
Forestry Service.

4ieo 4i 51 `4 31.0 Operational Standards for Class I Waste
Management
Class I industrial solid waste will not be accepted and disposed of at this landfill unless
compliance with§330.179 is achieved and maintained.
31.1 General Inspection Requirements
In accordance with§335.585 and§330.179(a)(1),the City or its operator will inspect the landfill
for compliance with the site operating plan and will develop and follow a written schedule for
inspecting monitoring equipment, safety and emergency equipment, and operating and structural
equipment (such as dikes and sump pumps) that are important to preventing, detecting, or
responding to environmental or human health hazards. The schedule will be maintained at the
landfill office and will identify the types of problems(e.g.,malfunctions or deterioration)that are
to be looked for during the inspection(e.g., inoperative sump pump, leaking fitting, or eroding
dike).This schedule will be updated to reflect the types of Class I Industrial Waste to be accepted
at the landfill.
The frequency of inspection may vary for the items on the schedule.However,the frequency will
be based on the rate of deterioration of the equipments and the probability of an environmental or
human health incident if the deterioration, malfunction, or any operator error goes undetected
between inspections. Areas subject to spills, such as loading and unloading areas, will be
inspected daily when in use. At a minimum,the inspection schedule must include the items and
frequencies required in 40 Code of Federal Regulations§264.303 for hazardous waste landfills.
The City or its operator will remedy any deterioration or malfunction of equipment or structures
that the inspection reveals on a schedule that ensures that the problem does not lead to an
environmental or human health hazard. Where a hazard is imminent or has already occurred,
remedial action will be taken immediately.
The City or its operator will record inspections in an inspection log or summary, and
retain these records in accordance with the requirements of §335.113(d) (relating to
Reporting of Emergency Situations by Emergency Coordinator). At a minimum, these
City of Corpus Christi 77 August 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 2
records will include the date and time of the inspection, the name of the inspector, a
notation of the observations made, and the date and nature of any repairs or other
remedial actions.
31.2 Personnel Training
In accordance with §335.586 and §330.179(a)(2), landfill personnel must successfully
complete a program of classroom instruction or on-the-job training that teaches them to
perform their duties in a way that ensures the facility's compliance with the requirements
of§335, Subchapter T. The City will ensure that this program includes all the elements
described in the document required under subsection §335.586(d)(3). This program will
be directed by a person trained in waste management procedures, and will include
instruction that teaches landfill personnel waste management procedures (including
contingency plan implementation)relevant to the positions in which they are employed.
At a minimum,the training program will be designed to ensure that landfill personnel are
able to respond effectively to emergencies by familiarizing them with emergency
procedures,emergency equipment,and emergency systems,including,where applicable:
• procedures for using, inspecting, repairing, and replacing facility emergency
and monitoring equipment;
• communications or alarm systems;
• response to fires or explosions;
• response to ground-water contamination incidents;and
• shutdown of operations.
Landfill personnel must successfully complete the program required in §335.586(a)
within six months after the date of their employment or assignment to the landfill.
Employees will not work in unsupervised positions until they have completed the training
requirements of§335.586(a). Landfill personnel must take part in an annual review of
the initial training required to ensure that ongoing training needs are addressed and
maintained. The owner or operator must maintain the following documents and records
at the facility:
City of Corpus Christi 78 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
o The job title for each position at the facility related to waste management,and the
name of the employee filling each job;
o A written job description for each position listed above. This description may be
consistent in its degree of specificity with descriptions for other similar positions
in the same company location or bargaining unit, but must include the requisite
skill,education, or other qualifications, and duties of employees assigned to each
position;
o A written description of the type and amount of both introductory and continuing
training that will be given to each person filling a position listed above; and
O Records that document that the training or job experience required has been
given to,and completed by,landfill personnel.
Training records on current landfill personnel will be kept until closure of the facility and
training records on former employees will be kept for at least three years from the date
the employee last worked at the facility. Landfill personnel training records may
accompany personnel transferred within the same company.
31.3 Waste Analysis
In accordance with §335.587 and §330.179(a)(3), the following waste analysis
requirements apply to the landfill:
e Before treating,storing, or disposing of any waste,the City will obtain a chemical
and physical analysis of a representative sample of the waste. At a minimum, the
analysis will contain all the information that must be known to treat, store, or
dispose of the waste in accordance with§335,Subchapter T.
o A waste generator's studies conducted on waste generated from processes
similar to that which generated the waste to be managed at the facility may
be included in the data base required.
o The City may arrange for the generator of the waste to supply the
information required by §335.587(a)(1). If the generator does not supply
the information, and the City chooses to accept a waste, City will be
City of Corpus Christi 79 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
responsible for obtaining the information required to comply with the
regulations.
G The analysis may include data developed under §335, Subchapter R (relating to
Waste Classification), and existing published or documented data on a waste or
on such waste generated from similar processes.
• The analysis must be repeated as necessary to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-
date.At a minimum,the analysis must be repeated:
o when the owner or operator is notified, or has reason to believe, that the
process or operation generating the waste has changed; and
o when the results of the inspection required in §335.587(a)(4) of this
subsection indicate that the waste received at the landfill does not match
the waste designated on the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.
o The City will inspect and,if necessary,analyze each waste received at the landfill
to determine whether it matches the identity of the waste specified on the
accompanying manifest or shipping paper.
The City will develop and follow a written waste analysis plan that describes the
procedures which the City will carry out to comply with the regulations. This plan will
be submitted to the TCEQ and will be kept at the landfill office. The plan will specify:
• the parameters for which each waste will be analyzed and the rationale for the
selection of these parameters(i.e., how analysis for these parameters will provide
sufficient information on the waste's properties);
• the test methods which will be used to test for these parameters;and •
• the sampling method that will be used to obtain a representative sample of the
waste to be analyzed. A representative sample may be obtained using either one
of the sampling methods described in Appendix I of Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 261 or an equivalent sampling method approved by the
executive director;
• the frequency with which the initial analysis of the waste will be reviewed or
repeated to ensure that the analysis is accurate and up-to-date;
• the waste analyses that waste generators have agreed to supply;and
City of Corpus Christi 80 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
• where applicable, the methods that will be used to meet any additional waste
analysis requirements in §335.588 (relating to General Requirements for
Ignitable,Reactive,or Incompatible Wastes).
This plan will be developed when Class I wastes are proposed for disposal and wilt be
updated as needed to meet the specific needs of the individual Class I wastes.
31.4 Ignitable,Reactive,or Incompatible Wastes
In accordance with §335.588 and §330.179(a)(4), the City will take precautions to
prevent accidental ignition or reaction of wastes that are ignitable or reactive as defined
in §335.505 (relating to Class I Waste Determination). This waste will be separated and
protected from sources of ignition or reaction including,but not limited to: open flames,
smoking, cutting and welding, hot surfaces, frictional heat, sparks (static, electrical, or
mechanical), spontaneous ignition (e.g., from heat-producing chemical reactions), and
radiant heat. While ignitable or reactive waste is being handled, the owner or operator
shall confine smoking and open flame to specially designated locations. "No Smoking"
signs must be conspicuously placed wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive
waste.
The landfill may dispose ignitable or reactive waste, or mix incompatible waste or
incompatible wastes and other materials, therefore requiring the Iandfill to take
precautions to prevent reactions which:
• generate extreme heat or pressure, fire or explosions,or violent reactions;
• produce uncontrolled toxic mists, fumes, dusts, or gases in sufficient quantities to
threaten human health or the environment;
• produce uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities to pose a
risk of fire or explosions;
• damage the structural integrity of the device or facility;or
• through other like means threaten human health or the environment.
City of Corpus Christi 81 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
When the above-mentioned conditions apply, the City will document compliance with
§335.588(a) and (b). This documentation may be based on references to published
scientific or engineering literature, data from trial tests (e.g., bench scale or pilot scale
tests),waste analyses as specified in §335.587 (relating to Waste Analysis), or the results
of the treatment of similar wastes by similar treatment processes and under similar
operating conditions.
31.5 Contingency Plan
In accordance with §335.589 and §330.179(a)(5), the City will have a contingency plan
for the landfill.The contingency plan is designed to minimize hazards to human health or
the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release
of waste or constituents of such waste to air, soil, or surface water. The contingency plan
will be submitted to the executive director with the permit application and, after
modification or approval,will become a condition of any permit issued. The provisions
of the plan will be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release
of waste or constituents of such waste that could threaten human health or the
environment.
The contingency plan describes the actions landfill personnel will take to comply with
§335.589(a) and (f) in response to fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-
sudden release of waste or constituents of such waste to air, soil, or surface water at the
landfill. Also included are arrangements agreed to by local police departments, fire
departments, hospitals, contractors, and state and local emergency response teams to
coordinate emergency services. The City will maintain a list of names, addresses, and
phone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency
coordinator,and this list must be kept up-to-date and at the landfill.
A list of all emergency equipment will be kept at the facility(such as fire extinguishing
systems, spill control equipment, communications and alarm systems, and
decontamination equipment),where this equipment is required. This list must be kept up-
to-date. In addition,the plan must include the location and a physical description of each
item on the list,and a brief outline of its capabilities.
City of Corpus Christi 82 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
The plan includes an evacuation plan for landfill personnel in the event that evacuation is
necessary. This plan describes signals to be used to begin evacuation, evacuation routes,
and alternate evacuation routes in case the primary route is blocked by releases of waste
or fires.
A copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to the plan must be maintained at the
landfill and submitted to all local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, and
state and local emergency response teams that may be called upon to provide emergency
services.
The contingency plan will be reviewed and updated,if necessary,whenever:
• the landfill permit is revised;
• the plan fails in an emergency;
• the landfill changes in its design, construction, operation, maintenance, or other
circumstances in a way that materially increases the potential for fires,explosions,
or releases of waste or constituents of such waste, or changes the response
necessary in an emergency;or
• the list of emergency equipment changes.
At all times Class I waste is accepted for disposal, there must be at least one employee
either on the landfill property or on call (i.e., available to respond to an emergency by
reaching the facility within a short period of time)with the responsibility for coordinating
all emergency response measures. This emergency coordinator will be thoroughly
familiar with all aspects of the landfill's contingency plan, all operations and activities at
the landfill, the location of all records at the landfill, and the landfill layout. In addition,
this person will have the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the
contingency plan.
Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation,the emergency coordinator
(or his designee when the emergency coordinator is on call) will immediately activate
City of Corpus Christi 83 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1
facility alarms or communication systems, where applicable, to notify all facility
personnel and notify appropriate state or local agencies with designated response roles if
their help is needed.
Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency coordinator will
immediately identify the character,exact source, amount,and areal extent of any released
materials. The emergency coordinator may do this by observation or review of facility
records or manifests, and, if necessary, by chemical analysis. Concurrently, the
emergency coordinator will assess possible hazards to human health or the environment
that may result from the release, fire, or explosion. This assessment will consider both
direct and indirect effects of the release, fire, or explosion (e.g., the effects of any toxic,
irritating, or asphyxiating gases that are generated, or the effects of any waste surface
water run-off from water or chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced
explosions).
If the emergency coordinator determines that the landfill has had a release, fire, or
explosion that could threaten human health, or the environment, outside the landfill
property boundary and if the emergency coordinator's assessment indicates that
evacuation of local areas may be advisable, the emergency coordinator will immediately
notify appropriate local authorities, and must be available to help appropriate officials
decide whether local areas should be evacuated.
The emergency coordinator will immediately notify either the government official
designated as the on-scene coordinator for that geographical area, (in the applicable
regional contingency plan under 40 CFR Part 1510) or the National Response Center
(using their 24-hour toll free number 1-800-424-8802).The report will include:
• name and telephone number of reporter;

• the possible hazards to human health, or the environment,outside the facility.
During an emergency, the emergency coordinator will take all reasonable measures
necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread to
other waste at the landfill. These measures include,where applicable,stopping processes
and operations, collecting and containing release waste, and removing or isolating
containers.
If the facility stops operations in response to a fire, explosion, or release,the emergency
coordinator shall monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in
valves,pipes,or other equipment,wherever this is appropriate.
Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator will provide for treating,
storing, or disposing of recovered waste,contaminated soil or surface water, or any other
material that results from a release,fire,or explosion at the landfill.The City will classify
all recovered waste, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results
from a release, fire, or explosion at the facility in accordance with §335, Subchapter R
(relating to Waste Classification) and in accordance with all applicable requirements of
§335, Subchapter A (relating to Industrial Solid Waste and Municipal Hazardous Waste
in General). The City will notify the executive director, and other appropriate state and
local authorities, that the landfill is in compliance before operations are resumed in the
affected area(s)of the landfill.
The emergency coordinator will ensure that,in the affected area(s)of the landfill:
• no waste that may be incompatible with the released material is treated,stored,or
disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed;and
• all emergency equipment listed in the contingency plan is cleaned and fit for its
intended use before operations are resumed.
City of Corpus Christi 85 July 2007
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill-SOP Version 1

Pertinent Findings from Tests of SaniFoam"" Synthetic Daily Cover
Document i Page A Reference To Summary of Facts Stated
I 1 Water runoff •Rain tends to run off without penetrating into foam
•Rain which penetrates foam is absorbed and held /93
2 Heavy rain •If water extractable portion of foam escaped during heavy, }""
penetrating and prolonged rain,result would be same as for
lawn fertilizers.
Leachate •Any seepage from foam presents no environmental hazard.
3 Safety •"Ii can be concluded with confidence that the use of plastic
aminoplast foam as a daily and interim landfill cover will pose not
significant environmental hazard."
2 1 Equiv to dirt •Foam performed as specified for operational,landfill
compatibility and physical properties of daily and intermediate
cover.
2 Rainfall •No difficulty maintaining adequate foam properties in light
rainfall.
Moderate Wind •No effect on the covering operation
Dust •Foam contributed no dust,in contrast to dust blowing from soil
elsewhere on fill
Equiv to dirt. •Foam maintained physical integrity overnight and over weekend
•No cracks or fissures observed at any time
Insects,flies and rodents •Foam acted as a deterrent to flies,birds and vermin that were
observed on the landfill,but not on the foam.
Rain •Operator wanted foam in wet weather to avoid problems he has
with soil_
3 1 Equiv.to dirt •For hazardous waste excavation,a 2"foam cover was an
equivalent substitute for a six-inch soil cover.
14 Equiv.to dirt •Erwironmehtal impact statements...point out the feasibility of the
material as an effective cover.
Cost savings •The use of plastic foam has decidedly a marked advantage over r
top soil for covering trucks.
Odor control •Plastic loam presents strong possibilities as an economical and
efficient substitute for dean soil.
Cost savings •The first cost(for compressor and pumps)may be considered
minima/relative to the benefits and advantages that may be
derived from the use of this material.
4 2 Leachate •This material is biiodegradeabte.

1 INTRODUCTION
The maintenance of a vegetative cover over the completed landfill is important to minimize
erosion of soil from the cap, decrease potential for intrusion of moisture into the waste, improve
the quality of surface runoff water, and improve the appearance of the completed site. Vegetative •
cover on the CoCC Solid Waste Facility will include appropriate grasses, shrubs, and trees,
planted and maintained by the City throughout the life of the facility and the postclosure care
period.
The guidelines contained in this plan are designed to enable compliance with 30 TAC
330.253(b)(3), requiring immediate seeding of completed portions of the site to prevent soil
erosion. In addition, the City should use the guidelines to help maintain a vegetative (grass)
cover over capped areas of 90 percent in order to minimize cap erosion, as assumed by soil
erosion calculations contained in Part III, Attachment 6A - Surface Water Drainage Design
Report. It is expected that the state of the practice of the planting of trees and shrubs on
completed portions of landfills will continue to evolve. As such, the City may, from time to
time,modify this plan with TNRCC approval.
This plan has been prepared in cooperation with professional staff of the Corpus Christi office of
the Texas Forestry Service. As such, the City will continue to rely as necessary on the expertise
of the Texas Forestry Service for guidance in selection of tree and shrub types, plant groupings,
and ongoing maintenance of vegetative cover.

August 1998
2 VEGETATION PLANTING ON THE COMPLETED LANDFILL CAP
2.1 Grass Cover
Grass cover over the completed landfill cap will be initiated immediately after the erosion layer
of the cap has been placed. Appropriate native grasses, or other grasses suited for the climate of
the Corpus Christi area will be used. The type of grass to be used will be determined by the
Disposal Superintendent at the time of placement of final cover. Typical grasses may include
Coastal Bermuda, Buffalo Grass, Texas Grama, Bluestem, and Johnson Grass. Winter Rye, and
Rescue Grass may also be used as a cool season cover, when necessary. The Disposal
Superintendent may also consult with the Nueces County Extension Agent regarding appropriate
grasses,at the time grass cover is needed.
Any disturbance to the grass cover on completed portions of the site will be repaired as quickly
as practical in order to maintain a high level of erosion control. Disturbances to the grass cover
may include accidental disturbance by site equipment, or planned disturbances such as
installation of landfill gas collection system components.
2.2 Shrubs and Trees
The planting of shrubs and trees on the completed site is a developmental process, anticipated to
take place over an extended period of time of landfill operation and postclosure care. The
determination of when to begin planting trees and/or shrubs on compelted landfill.areas will be
made by the City of Corpus Christi, following the guidelines in this plan. If,during development
of the site, it becomes necessary or advantageous to modify these guidelines to improve the
process of planting or maintaining shrubs and trees, the City may do so in consultation with the
Texas Forest Service and others with expertise in the field, and by notifying the TNRCC of any
planned changes.
2.2.1 Shrub and Tree Locations
With limited restrictions, shrubs and trees may be located anywhere on completed portions of the
site as long as guidelines for soil layer thickness, plant types, and planting techniques (see below)
are followed. Shrubs and trees will not be located within drainage swales or chutes, or within 25
feet of any landfill gas collection system component (collection line, well, condensate sump,
etc.). In general, shrubs and trees will be located in clusters. Planting in clusters will provide
better opportunity for the shrubs and trees to act as wind breaks for each other, and will increase
moisture retention within the joint root systems.
AU/I/rECH COM\IVBPLAN.DOCJnr IVB- 2 Technically Complete
August 1998
The shrub/tree clusters will be located initially on the downhill side of swales, in areas where the
erosion layer has been thickened in accordance with these guidelines. The initial and ultimate
sizes of shrub/tree clusters, their number and locations on completed areas, the timing of their
placement,and the make-up of each cluster will be determined by the Disposal Superintendent in
consultation as necessary with the Regional Forester of the Texas Forestry Service. Planning for
the arrangement of shrubs and trees within each cluster will be accomplished at the time the
planting is desired. In general, the arrangement of shrubs and trees should consider how
proposed plants can provide windbreaks for other plants in the cluster, and the ultimate planned
postclosure use of the closed landfill in the area of the proposed cluster.
Locations of shrub and tree clusters will consider their use as windbreaks, short-term and long-
term postclosure use plans, availability of additional soil for thickened cover depth, availability
of water for irrigation, costs for development of shrub and tree area, and available budget
constraints.
2.2.2 Soil Layer Considerations
The erosion layer component of the final cover system will be thickened in areas where shrubs or
trees are to be planted. The thickened layer will be 39 to 58 inches, including the original 18
inches of the erosion layer. As shown in Part III, Attachment 6C - Cover System Details, Figure
6C.1, drainage swales on the completed landfill are formed by construction of soil berms of
approximately 2-1/2 feet in height(above top of erosion layer). Details of swale locations on the
site are provided in Attachment 6A. The planting of shrubs and trees will take advantage of the
swale berms by expanding the top width of the berm in areas where shrub/tree clusters are
planned. Attachment C, Figure 6C.2 - Tree Planting Details indicates the general procedure for
thickening the soil layer in this manner. As shown in Attachment 6C.2, the minimum thickness
of soil where trees or shrubs will be planted will be 58 inches. This includes the 18-inch thick
erosion layer. The edges of the soil-thickened areas will transition back to the typical erosion
layer thickness at a slope of no greater than 2H:1V.
If soil thickness is increased for shrubs or trees after the initial grass cover is established on the
completed cap (thereby creating an exposed area without grass cover), the thickened area will be
seeded to reestablish grass cover prior to planting any shrubs or trees.
Soil used to thicken the erosion layer for trees will generally be a fine-textured soil, but should
not be a heavy clay. The soil should be mixed with composted material or other soil
amendments to improve organic content. Soil will be placed with only limited compaction to
promote root growth.
2.2.3 Shrub and Tree Selection
Appropriate native shrubs and trees, or other shrubs or trees suited for the climate of the Corpus
Christi area may be used on completed landfill areas. However, selection of specific shrubs and
trees is dependent upon the location on the landfill area, planned postclosure uses of the landfill,
availability of water in the vicinity of the planned cluster, aesthetic and functional considerations

3 MAINTENANCE OF VEGETATION ON COMPLETED LANDFILLED
AREAS
3.1 Maintenance of Grass Cover
3.1.1 Irrigation
Watering will be accomplished as needed in order to establish grass cover as quickly as practical.
Watering may generally be accomplished by:
• •spraying water from a water truck, to the extent that the truck does not cause damage to the
final cover system
• use of portable irrigation piping and a delivery system from an onsite water well or ponded
water
The amount of water needed will be dependent on the amount of rainfall being experienced at the
time of planting. Grass conditions and growth will need to be watched closely until coverage is
established. Care must be taken to prevent irrigation water from causing erosion of the landfill
cap.
Once grass cover is established, irrigation requirements will generally decrease as the grass root
system begins to take more moisture from the erosion layer of the final cap system. In drier
periods of the year, additional water may need to be applied periodically to prevent excessive
drying of the vegetative cover.
3.1.2 Mowing
It is not anticipated that mowing of the grass cover on most of the landfill cap will be needed.
However, it may be necessary to mow or trim grass in the drainage swales to prevent blockage
and overflow of the swales. Grass may also periodically need to be trimmed from around landfill
gas extraction wells or other landfill gas collection system appurtenances that extend above
ground. Grass that is mowed or trimmed from the site should be removed from the cap area
immediately to prevent accumulations of cuttings in swales or other drainage structures.
AUIVI'ECH COMUVBPLAN.DOC/nr IVB- 5 Technically Complete
August 1998
3.2 Maintenance of Shrubs and Trees
3.2.1 Irrigation
Trees will need to be irrigated initially until root systems are capable of extracting sufficient
moisture from the soil. Irrigation of trees will be accomplished by:
• spraying water from a water truck, to the extent that the truck does not cause damage to the
final cover system
• construction of a drip-irrigation system within the area of thickened soil and a water delivery
system from an onsite water well or ponded water
Initially, watering will need to be accomplished frequently (once to twice per week). Irrigation
requirements should decrease, however, as clusters of shrubs and trees become established.
However, increased irrigation may be needed in thy periods in order to prevent excessive drying
of the plants.
Mulching of planting clusters should also be done in order to reduce excessive evaporation of
moisture from the soil.
3.2.2 Trimming and Removal of Shrubs and Trees
It is not anticipated that the shrubs and trees will require trimming unless desired by the City at
some future time. Shrubs or trees that have died will be removed by cutting the trunk at ground
level. Limbs that are trimmed for any reason will be removed from the site immediately to
prevent accumulation of material that could block drainage or cause damage to the final cap.
Shrubs and trees will not be allowed to interfere with the landfill final cover system, landfill cap
drainage system, or landfill gas system piping,extraction wells or other system components. If it
is determined that shrubs or trees are endangering such systems (either above-ground growth or
the root system beneath the ground), they will be trimmed as necessary or removed. Inspection
of tree clusters for potential impacts on the landfill cap system will be a regular part of the
postclosure care requirements for the site. The Texas Forestry Service may be consulted if there
are questions regarding whether a shrub or tree is in danger of having an adverse impact on the
final cover system.
3.2.3 Managing Wind Impacts
Uprooting of trees can be minimized by maintaining a rooting soil thickness of 39 to 58 inches,
and by planning the clusters to maximize their ability to provide windbreaks for each other
within the cluster. However, it may be expected that some trees will be uprooted from time to
time, particularly in excessively high winds such as hurricanes. When a tree is uprooted, it will
be removed from the landfill cap as soon as practical. The hole left by the uprooted tree will be
inspected to determine if any damage has occurred to the membrane liner, the drainage layer
between the membrane and the erosion layer,or any irrigation lines.

1 INTRODUCTION
•
The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) Municipal Solid
Waste Regulations define a Class 1 nonhazardous industrial waste (Class 1 waste) as any
industrial solid waste designated as Class 1 by the executive director, or mixture of
industrial solid wastes that because of its concentration or physical or chemical
characteristics is toxic, corrosive, flammable, a strong sensitizer or irritant, a generator of
sudden pressure by decomposition, heat, or other means, and may pose a substantial
present or potential danger to human health or the environment when improperly
processed, stored,transported,or otherwise managed.
The disposal requirements for industrial wastes in a municipal solid waste landfill,
including Class 1 wastes, are found at 30 TAC §330.137 - Disposal of Industrial Wastes.
This Class 1 nonhazardous industrial waste acceptance plan.(Plan) was developed in
accordance with Section 330.137. All Class 1 wastes handled, treated, and/or disposed of
at the City of Corpus Christi (CoCC) Solid Waste Facility will be subject to the
procedures and guidelines contained in this Plan.
For the specific purposes of this Plan,Class 1 waste is further defined as any waste:
• Determined to be nonhazardous by process determination or by meeting the
definitions of such as outlined in 40 CFR Part 261; and,
• Classified as Class 1 waste by the TNRCC or self-classified by an in-state, out-of-
state,or Maquiladora generator as Class 1 waste.
This definition does not include Class 1 asbestos waste.

2 WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
Prior to acceptance of any Class 1 waste at the CoCC facility,the following initial criteria
must be met:
1. The waste must be determined to be nonhazardous as defined in 40 CFR Part 261 or
by applicable state solid waste regulations and
2. Class 1 waste generated in the State of Texas must be classified as Class 1 by the
TNRCC or self classified as Class 1 in accordance with 30 TAC Chapter 335,
Subchapter R or
• Class 1 waste generated by a Maquiladora facility, which has been assigned a
valid "Q" reference number by the TNRCC, must be classified as Class 1 by the
TNRCC or self classified as Class 1 in accordance with 30 TAC Chapter 335,
Subchapter R or
• Class 1 waste generated by out-of-state generators must be self-classified as Class
1 waste in accordance with 30 TAC, Chapter 335, Subchapter R and receive
generator specificsite specific approval for disposal by the TNRCC.

3 WASTE EVALUATION CRITERIA
Prior to the acceptance of a Class 1 wastestream, the generator/customer is required to
state and certify the characteristics, origin and estimated quantity of the Class 1 waste
proposed for disposal. In addition, if the waste is not readily identifiable, the
generator/customer may be required to provide other pertinent information regarding the
waste before a Class 1 waste is accepted.
The generator/customer must complete and sign the Generator's Waste Profile Sheet
(GWPS-see Appendix IVC) and may be required by the Disposal Superintendent to
provide current laboratory analyses data for the waste stream intended for disposal.
Texas generators and Maquiladora generators will be required to submit evidence that the
waste has been classified as a Class 1 waste either by the TNRCC or self-classified as a
Class 1 waste in accordance with 30 TAC chapter 335, subchapter R.
The GWPS and all information provided by the generator/customer will be reviewed by
the Disposal Superintendent. The Disposal Superintendent will ensure that any analytical
information submitted meets the requirements described in Section 4.0 of this Plan,
assign necessary conditions/limitations on managing the waste, and make the decision
and submit approval of the wastestream in writing to the generator/customer if the waste
is eligible for disposal at the facility. If the waste is approved for acceptance, an
expiration date not to exceed 2 years is assigned to the GWPS unless the Disposal
Superintendent determines that an expiration date of less than 2 years is appropriate. The
waste stream will be reviewed at the end of the expiration date to ensure it is still in
conformance with the information provided.
The Disposal Superintendent will ensure that a Class 1 Waste Disposal Agreement is
executed by the generator/customer. The Class 1 Waste Disposal Agreement states that
the generator/customer warrants that the waste materials delivered to the landfill will not
contain any hazardous, toxic or radioactive waste or substances as defined by applicable
federal, state, local or provincial laws or regulations. The Class 1 Waste Disposal
Agreement also states that the generator/customer warrants that the waste material
delivered to the facility will not contain any waste except that specifically described in the
GWPS and approved in writing,by the facility.
Any necessary special conditions/limitations will be included in the Class 1 Waste
Disposal Agreement and noted on the GWPS. The Class 1 Waste Disposal Agreement
contains a statement that the generator/customer agrees to comply with all special
conditions/limitations contained in the Class I Waste Disposal Agreement.

4 QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL - ANALYTICAL
INFORMATION
4.1 Analytical Information
The laboratory analyses required for review with the GWPS is dependent upon the type of
waste stream to be disposed. Analyses must have been conducted in accordance with
EPA test methods as outlined in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Wastes,
Physical/Chemical Methods" (EPA Publication Number SW-846). The type of analyses
that may be required on the waste include corrosivity, ignitability, reactivity, toxicity
(TCLP), paint filter and any other state-required tests to determine if the waste meets the
Class 1 classification criteria. The Disposal Superintendent must receive either proper
analytical results from the generator/customer or equivalent information. In accordance
with 40 CFR 262.11 the Disposal Superintendent may use the generator's knowledge of
the waste and process generating the waste to ensure that the facility is not managing
hazardous waste or other prohibited wastes.
Analytical reports must clearly identify the generator, when analyses were conducted, the
material analyzed, when the sample was taken, and must include the signature of the
Laboratory Manager or Chemist serving as certification that the analyses were completed
by the laboratory in accordance with applicable approved test methods. In addition, the
GWPS requires all samples to be collected in accordance with 40 CFR 261.20(C).
Representative samples may also be required by the Disposal Superintendent for testing
and evaluation by the City prior to issuing a disposal decision. Any additional sampling
and/or testing required will be the responsibility of the generator/customer.
Analytical data submitted to Disposal Superintendent for use in the waste evaluation
process must meet the following quality assurance criteria:
• Analytical data must be current, preferably less than 6 months old (the Disposal
Superintendent may,however,accept older data,if appropriate).
• The source and/or process generating the waste must be identified and described in
physical terms.
• The reference of methods employed must accompany the analytical data.
• All laboratory QA/QC information must accompany the data submitted and should
include: Chain of custody records, data on standards, duplicate analyses, spikes and
blanks, and other pertinent statistical information.

4.2 Point-of-Delivery Inspection/Testing
Because Class 1 waste disposed at the facility will be delivered in designated loads not
mixed with other wastes, these waste loads will not be subject to normal waste screening
methods described in Section 5 of the Site Operating Plan (Part IV of the Permit
Application). However, each load of Class 1 waste delivered to the landfill for disposal
will receive a visual inspection to verify conformance with the GWPS. In addition to
visual inspection, additional verification testing may be performed on any load. Test
results will be recorded and referenced by manifest document number on the GWPS and
maintained in the site operating records.
Class 1 wastes containing free liquids as determined by the paint filter liquids test (EPA
Method 9055; EPA Publication Number SW-846) will not be accepted at the facility.

Appendix IVD
5 WASTE APPROVAL UPDATES
Approximately 3 months prior to the expiration date of the GWPS, the Disposal
Superintendent will inform the generator/customer of the impending expiration. The
generator/customer must then provide appropriate updates to the GWPS, additional
laboratory data and additional process information prior to expiration of the current
GWPS. The Disposal Superintendent may extend the expiration of the current GWPS by
up to 3 additional months, if generator/customer is making satisfactory progress toward
completing the required update.
In the event the process from which the Class 1 waste is generated changes, it is the
responsibility of the generator/customer to provide notification and updated information
on the waste. The additional information may include additional analytical data, and
other information as required by the Disposal Superintendent. The GWPS must be
updated by the generator with the additional information.
In the event the physical characteristics of a Class 1 waste received at the facility differs
from that of the approved waste stream, disposal will not be allowed and the
generator/customer will be required to provide additional process and/or analytical data in
order to determine the cause of the change in waste characteristics and any associated
disposal requirements.

6 WASTE DISCREPANCIES AND REJECTED LOADS
Documentation for all Class 1 wastes with an approved GWPS that arrive for disposal at
the facility are reviewed by the Scalehouse Operator and, if necessary, by the Disposal
Superintendent. If required documentation is missing, incomplete, or the characteristics
of the waste are questionable, all discrepancies must be resolved prior to acceptance of
the waste for disposal. In the event all discrepancies cannot be resolved, the waste load
will be rejected.
Discrepancies which will cause a load to be rejected include,but are not limited to:
• A Class 1 waste arrives without a TNRCC manifest;
• A Class 1 waste arrives and the waste material does not match the description on the
waste manifest;
• A Class 1 waste arrives and the information on the manifest is not complete or is
incorrect;or
• A Class 1 waste arrives which does not match the information provided on the
GWPS,Class 1 Waste Disposal Agreement or any TNRCC approval documents.
In the event that the description or physical characteristics of a Class 1 waste being
received at the facility differs from that of an approved waste stream or if previously
unidentified Class 1 waste is suspected, the load will be stopped and the
generator/customer will be required to provide an updated GWPS to properly identify the
wastestream prior to disposal.
Should an incident occur in which a waste load is accepted as a Class 1 waste approved
for disposal at the facility, but is afterward suspected of being a different (not approved)
Class 1 nonhazardous waste, hazardous waste, PCB waste, radioactive waste, or other
prohibited waste, the load will be isolated and the area around the waste load secured.
The generator/customer will be immediately contacted to provide proper identification of
the waste. If the waste is subsequently confirmed to be a different(not approved)Class 1
nonhazardous waste, or hazardous, or to contain PCB's, or radioactive, or other
prohibited waste,the following actions will occur:

• The TNRCC Regional office will be notified of the incident.
• The generator/customer will be required to remove the waste for proper disposal
elsewhere.
• If the generator/customer is unable to remove the waste, the Disposal Superintendent
will develop an appropriate remediation plan. The plan will be implemented upon
approval of the TNRCC.

7 DOCUMENTATION AND RECORDKEEPING
All required paperwork and documentation relating to the acceptance of Class 1 wastes
will be maintained as part of the Site Operating Record. The following forms and/or
documentation will be required under this acceptance Plan:
TNRCC Waste Classification
The generator/customer will be required to submit evidence that the waste has been
classified as a Class 1 waste by the TNRCC or self-classified as a Class 1 waste
according to TNRCC regulations. This will include identification as a process waste or
one-time waste (using TNRCC Form 0757). This requirement applies to all registered
Texas generators and registered Maquiladoras with a valid"Q"number.
Generator Waste Profile Sheet and Class 1 Waste Disposal
Agreement
The GWPS and Class 1 Waste Disposal Agreement are required of all
generators/customers of Class 1 waste. The generator/customer certifies by signature that
all information contained in the GWPS and Class 1 Waste Disposal Agreement is true
and correct. Copies of the current GWPS will be maintained in the Site Operating
Record.
TNRCC Waste Manifest
The TNRCC currently requires all Class 1 non-hazardous industrial waste to be
manifested from generator to disposal facility using a TNRCC Hazardous Waste
Manifest. The waste manifest is to be completed by the generator and the transporter, and
must accompany each load of Class 1 waste. Once the facility has confirmed the
necessary pre-authorizations for acceptance and disposal of the waste, the destination
section of the manifest will be completed by the facility and a copy presented to the
transporter. To verify final destination and disposition of the waste, the generator's copy
of the manifest will be forwarded to the generator. One copy will be permanently filed at
the facility.
All documents and information relevant to Class 1 waste profiled and accepted for
disposal at the facility will be maintained in the Site Operating Record for a period of no
less than 3 years.
