Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Section 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The Closure of the BCSU will not result in a significant environmental effect because:
- The closure of the BCSU will not violate any water quality standards or water discharge requirements and groundwater monitoring will continue under the RWQCB jurisdiction. The BCSU report for closure concluded that the activities of the BCSU did not have any impact to the groundwater under the unit. The groundwater gradient allows ConocoPhillips to capture and process all ground water impacted by IWS-6C through their water treatment unit. ConocoPhillips does not make use of groundwater.
- The closure of the BCSU as a permitted RCRA unit and continued operations under generator status will not increase the hazards due to the transportation of hazardous waste since all safety precautions to protect human health and the environment will continue to be practiced. The BCSU is equipped with a secondary containment system that consists of 6 inch curbs, catch basins, and drain trenches. The BSCU is also sloped engineered to prevent accidental spill from exiting the BCSU.
