INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE APPLICATION FOR SOLID WASTE FACILITY PERMIT AND WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS
This application form is for a Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) and/or Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) to receive, store, process, transform, or dispose of solid waste regulated by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) and Enforcement Agencies (EAs) or California Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs), and for related purposes. The Application is to be used for new and changes to existing SWFPs, WDRs, and supporting documents (e.g. Reports of Facility Information, Reports of Waste Discharge), and for SWFP Reviews. AN Applications must be filled out completely and correctly. Check with the applicable EA or RWQCB for specific permit requirements and exemptions or the use of the Application/General Information Form for WDRs and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit (Form 200) by the RWQCB. Submit the Application and filing fees to the appropriate agency(ies) indicated below:

1. The physical address of the facility or, if no address, a description of the location. Include the Assessor's Parcel Number, directions to the location of the facility and the name of the nearest city or named place, i.e. mountain, lake, cross roads, etc. Provide the zip code for the actual facility location, not the mailing address.
2. Latitude and longitude in Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds, or Decimal Degrees identifying the center of the waste footprint for existing or proposed disposal sites and identifying the office or main gate for all other facilities (e.g., transfer station, composting facility, etc.). Use of a GPS instrument is recommended.
1. If the location of the facility is identified in either a Countywide Siting Element or a Nondisposal Facility Element, check the appropriate box, and fill in the date of the document and the page on which the facility is identified. (You may obtain this information from the jurisdiction in which the facility is located).
2. Asbestos: The State Department of Toxic Substances Control classifies friable wastes which contain one percent or more asbestos by weight as hazardous wastes. Friable means that the material can be crumbled with pressure and, therefore, is likely to emit fibers. Indicate whether the asbestos is friable or non-friable by checking the appropriate box.
10. Inert: Solid waste and recyclable materials that are source separated or separated for reuse, do not contain hazardous waste or soluble pollutants at concentrations in excess of applicable water quality objectives and do not contain significant quantities of decomposable waste. Inert debris may not contain more than 1% putrescible wastes by volume calculated on a monthly basis and the putrescible wastes do not constitute a nuisance, as determined by the EA.
11. Liquids: Wastes which are not spadable, usually containing less than 50% solids. These wastes include cannery and food processing wastes, landfill leachate and gas condensate, boiler blowdown water, grease trap pumpings, oil and geothermal field wastes, septic tank pumpings, rendering plant byproducts, some sewage sludge, etc.
14. Waste Tires: Tires that are no longer mounted on a vehicle and are no longer suitable for use as a vehicle tire due to wear, damage, or deviation from the manufacturer's original specifications including, repairable tires, scrap tires, altered tires, and used tires that are not organized for inspection in a rack or a stack.
a. Maximum Daily Tonnage or Cubic Yards: The maximum amount of solid waste and other material the applicant is authorized by the EA to receive through the gate per day as part of normal, day-to-day operations (include information on all other material authorized by the EA to receive in the Report of Facility Information (RFI)). This amount shall be expressed in tons; if tonnage is not available specify the amount in cubic yards with a conversion factor. This amount must be consistent with the approved SWFP and the approved RFI. Applicants for new SWFP and/or WDRs enter zeros (0) in all items of this section. Note: The two amounts in (1) and (2) below must equal the maximum daily tonnage.
b. As-Designed Daily Tonnage or Cubic Yards: For landfills, the maximum amount of solid waste and other material that the facility is designed to receive and process on an ongoing basis over an extended period of time (e.g., on a daily basis over a calendar month) based on appropriate factors including, but not limited to, size of the operating areas, vehicle traffic, hours of operation, personnel, equipment operational limits, etc. For other facilities, the maximum amount of solid waste and other material the facility is designed to receive and process on an ongoing bases over an extended period of time (e.g., on a daily basis over a calendar month) based on appropriate factors including, but not limited to, vehicle traffic, facility size, hours of operations, length of material storage, type of equipment and movement, personnel, equipment operational limits, etc. This amount shall be expressed in tons; if tonnage is not available specify the amount in cubic yards with a conversion factor. The as designed value may be equal to or greater than the maximum daily value.
c. Facility Size: The area that encompasses the entire area on which solid waste facility activities are authorized by the EA to occur. This includes the area of the facility in acres to be used for specific purposes such as receiving, storing, processing, disposing of wastes, and managing equipment, or any area that is required to maintain compliance with the design and operating parameters of the facility. The facility size is the same as “operating area” for compostable material handling facilities, “permitted acreage” or the area within the “permitted boundary” for transfer/processing facilities and landfills.
d. Maximum Traffic Volume Per Day (vpd): The maximum number of vehicles authorized by the EA to enter the facility on a daily basis. This number includes all vehicles, laden or empty, entering the facility gate, including vehicles transporting solid waste, personnel vehicles and vehicles transporting cover material or material intended for beneficial reuse. This number must be consistent with the approved RFI.
e. Days and Hours of Operation: The days and hours that the facility is authorized by the EA to operate and the hours of waste receipt authorized by the EA if different from the hours of operation. This information must be consistent with the approved RFI. Any activities that are limited to prescribed days or hours should be fully described in the RFI.
2. Proposed Change(s) or Information Applicable to New SWFP and/or WDRs: This portion of the Application must be filled out by every applicant requesting a change to any item(s) listed under Part 3. A. 1 and every applicant submitting an application for a new SWFP and/or WDRs (see Part 3.A.1. for a description of the terms used). The requests must be consistent with an RFI submitted as part of the Application. The EA will review the requests and establish the terms and conditions of a proposed SWFP for those requests that are supported by documents submitted by the applicant. The RWQCB will review the requests and establish the terms and conditions of tentative WDRs for those requests that are supported by documents submitted by the applicant. Use the “OTHER” section to describe design or operational requests not already specified in this Part 3.A.2.
a. Average Daily Tonnage (TPD): The estimated average waste tonnage expected to be placed in a waste management unit for each operating day on a yearly basis (calendar year) for the next five years. Do not use non-operating days in calculating the average daily tonnage. This average daily tonnage can be equal to but may not exceed the maximum daily tonnage. Report as tons per day (TPD).
b. Site Capacity Currently Permitted (Airspace) (cu yds): The volume contained between the excavation plan surface and the final fill plan surface (i.e., from the bottom of the excavation to the top of the final cover) taking into consideration design slopes, benches, and other design features, as authorized by the current SWFP. Site Capacity means the same as Total Site Capacity or Gross Site Capacity.
e. Site Capacity Remaining (Airspace) (cu yds): The total volume of permitted site capacity remaining, not including any proposed site capacity. If the remaining capacity information provided is based on estimates of capacity used since the last physical site survey, please explain the methodology used in preparing the estimates, e.g., weight-to-volume conversion, in-truck volume, etc. See Date of Capacity Information below.
h. Estimated Closure Date (month and year): The closure date estimated based on remaining waste capacity, average disposal volume, waste-to-cover ratio, days of operation, and other appropriate factors. Please note if the closure date is controlled by factors other than waste capacity (e.g., conditional use permit date, etc.)
(ii) Waste-to-Cover Ratio (estimated) (volume:volume). The waste-to-cover ratio estimate is a unit-less expression of the proportion of the volumes of waste and cover that comprise a volume of compacted fill material, e.g. 4:1. The cover portion of the waste-to-cover ratio estimate should include only soil or approved daily or intermediate alternative cover that is not considered a waste material, i.e., payment of fees to CalRecycle is not required. The waste portion of the waste-to-cover ratio estimate should include only waste material for which payment of fees to CalRecycle is reported, or
2. Airspace Utilization Factor (tons of waste per cubic yard of landfill airspace). The airspace utilization factor (AUF) is the effective density of waste material in the landfill. The AUF is recorded as the total weight of waste material passing over the landfill scales that is placed in a known volume of landfill airspace in a given period of time. The waste portion of the AUF should include only waste material for which payment of fees to CalRecycle is reported.
