Document Description
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has issued a variance to Riverside County Department of Waste Resources (CAR000187518) to receive and dispose of treated wood waste from generators, transporters, and/or handler facilities. Operations related to treated wood waste will be consistent with previous treated wood waste activities conducted by the applicant. The variance allows treated wood waste to be managed under procedures different from, but equally protective to human health and the environment to, the provisions of California Health and Safety Code (HSC) Articles 6, 6.5 and 9 of Chapter 6.5 and California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapters 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, and/or 20. Under the terms and conditions of Variance TWW-2021-DF00136, Riverside County Department of Waste Resources will ensure the treated wood waste will be appropriately managed. The treated wood waste management activities are part of the disposal operations. Acceptance of TTW is already permitted under the Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) and Waste Discharge Requirement (WDR) R8-2013-0003 issued for the Lamb Canyon Landfill. TTW will be disposed of within the lined section of the landfill.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CCR Title 14, Sec. 15301
Reasons for Exemption
All analysis conducted included the potential extension of the variance for an additional six months. DTSC has determined none of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions apply to this project, as described in Public Resources Code Section 21084(c), (d), and (e), and 14 CCR Section 15300.2. Operations under the variance will be substantially the same as those as previously conducted under the alternative management standards established at 22 CCR 67386. This variance is consistent with a former use.
