This page provides draft guidance on preparing, amending, reviewing, or
approving a Report of Disposal Site Information (RDSI) in accordance with Title
27, Sections 21600(b)(1)(A) - (C) which is divided into three sections:
(A) Facility Overview
(B) Site Plan
(C) Hours of Operation

21600(b)(1)(A) |
"Provide a statement including:
- the name of the site,
- the name of the person who will operate the site,
- the name of the person who owns the land, and
- a description of the operation cycle."
|
Discussion
Provide within this section an introductory statement that will briefly
describe the facility. That statement should include the following minimal
information:
- Name of the facility;
- Name of the firm(s) or person(s) that will operate the site;
- Name of the firm(s) or person(s) that own the land;
- Name of lessee of land if applicable;
- Type of facility (Class II, or III, in accordance with Title
27 section 20200); and
- Description of the operation cycle.
Operation Cycle:
Briefly describe the daily waste flow through the facility, including, but
not limited to:
- Receipt
- Handling
- Processing
- Diversion
- Transformation
- Spreading
- Compaction
- Disposal

"This Joint Technical Document/Report of Disposal Site Information
describes the design, sequencing, and operation of the (name of facility)
Disposal Site which is (or will be) operated under permits issued to (name and
address of permitted operator). Actual day to day operation of the site will
be conducted by (enter the name of the permitted operator(s) or the name and
address of the contract operator).
The facility is located on land owned by
(name and address of land owner(s) if different from operator).
This facility
is a Class III (or Class I, Class II, or unclassified) facility as defined by
27 CCR Section 20200. The operation cycle consists of (operation cycle) "
|
Note 1: If the site is a new site and is leased, an appendix to the RDSI should
be attached which includes a copy of the lease and documentation that the
landowner is aware of his responsibilities under the standards (Title 27
sections 20180
and 20182)
Note 2: This example should be appropriately modified if the facility contains
discrete waste management units with differing classifications.
Review Questions
Is the information provided consistent with the application form and other
supporting documentation (including CEQA, ROWD, closure/postclosure
maintenance plans and other permits)?

21600(b)(1)(B) |
"Provide facility plan(s), including:
- the predisposal topography of the site,
- the facility boundary of the site (clearly illustrating parcels
owned by the operator and/or any leased parcels),
- the total permitted acreage of the site,
- the acreage of the disposal area,
- fill sequencing and excavation plans,
- the extent of any buffer zones between the disposal area and the
permitted property boundaries provided by the facility layout, and
- the vertical limits of the site.
The map required for a ROWD/JTD may be used for the RDSI providing
all requirements of this subsection are met."
|
Discussion
The JTD/RDSI must include information that clearly describes the facility.
Several of the items below may be included on one plan/drawing. However, it is
suggested that several plans/drawing be incorporated to ease evaluation of the
information. At a minimum, the following information should be included:
- A predisposal topographical map that is clear and easily read:
 A topographical map that clearly shows the contours, elevations, and
structures, etc. on the site prior to development.
- A plan/drawing that clearly illustrates parcels owned
and/or leased by the operator:
Information
should be included clearly showing who owns or leases the land allowing the
EA/LEA the ability to evaluate the proposed use of this site.
- A plan/drawing that clearly shows the extent of the disposal area:
Information
should clearly show the boundary of the area within which waste will be
disposed.
- A plan/drawing that clearly shows the extent of the permitted boundary:
Information
should clearly show the area that is permitted or proposed for permitting
under the Solid Waste Facility Permit.
- The acreage of the disposal area:
Information
should be included that states/shows the exact acreage of the disposal area.
- A plan/drawing that clearly shows the fill sequencing:
Information
should be included showing the filling sequence of the disposal area. This
may be completed on one map for a smaller site or several maps for a larger,
more complicated site.
- A plan/drawing that clearly shows the excavation:
A
plan/drawing should be included that clearly shows the elevations and
contours of the planned excavations and the sequencing of those excavations,
if necessary.
- A plan/drawing that clearly shows the extent of any buffer zones between
the disposal area and the permitted property boundaries provided by the
facility layout:
Any
and all buffer zones at the site must be clearly shown regarding their proximity to
the permitted property boundary of the facility.
- Vertical limits of the site:
A
plan/drawing should be included that clearly shows the contour and
elevations of the existing/proposed vertical limits of the facility.
The information needed in the above points should be explained or
demonstrated in the clearest possible means. A drawing/plan clearly showing the
information required should provide the necessary facts in most cases. Several
items listed above may be placed on one map or plan if it can be done in a clear
manner.
Predisposal topography maps for facilities may not be available for all
sites. It is important that the operator make a good faith effort to use other
sources for predisposal topographical maps. Other sources may include local and
university libraries, local engineering and surveying firms, local flood control
districts, and Caltrans.
Example of Permit Boundary Information
In addition, the map should identify leased property, buffer zones, and
asbestos disposal areas.
Review Questions
- Is the information provided consistent with the application form and other
supporting documentation (including CEQA, ROWD, closure/postclosure
maintenance plans, and other permits)?
- Are the maps clear, drawn to an appropriate scale, provide the most current
information available, and accurately represent the site topography?

"State the hours and days of operation for the site, including but not
limited to maintenance, site operation, receipt of waste, and public and
commercial access." |
Discussion
The days and hours of operation should be described in this section. That
information should include but not be limited to the following:
- Hours of operation for the public;
- Hours of operation for commercial haulers only;
- Hours of operation for compaction and cover operations; and
- Hours of operation for additional site specific activities and
requirements.
Review Questions
- Is the information contained in the document consistent with the proposed
operations for the facility and additional documents regarding this site?
- If any operations occur during darkness, will there be adequate lighting
available?
