Document Description
Issuance of an emergency permit for the temporary storage of 18 trailers containing spent lead acid batteries and factory scrap. The emergency permit will extend the permitted storage period 30 days, not to exceed a total of a 90-day extension. The facility is currently permitted to store trailers for a maximum of 10 days. The trailers will be parked in two designated areas currently used for staging trailers pursuant to the existing permit. The emergency permit is necessary due to the temporary shut down of recycling processes as a result of damage to the building housing the primary recycling units. The 18 trailers containing spent lead acid batteries and factory scrap will be accepted at the facility until the facility is operational and the backlog of the batteries is processed.

Reasons for Exemption
Temporarily extending the storage period will not have a significant effect on the environment because the extension is a temporary negligible expansion of the currently permitted activities. The Quemetco, Inc. facility is currently a large hazardous waste treatment and storage facility operating under interim status since 1980 pursuant to HSC 25200.5.
