US Ecology Vernon, Inc. is a wastewater treatment facility that stores, treats, and/or transfers hazardous waste generated from off-site industrial, commercial, institutional, and governmental sources. US Ecology Vernon, Inc. receives hazardous waste in the form of liquids, sludge, and solids. There are 35 hazardous waste management units at the facility with 57 hazardous waste tanks. The waste is treated by a series of chemical and/or physical processes to destroy or remove hazardous constituents or hazardous characteristics. The residues from this treatment are either recycled on-site or shipped off-site to an appropriate recycling or disposal facility.

To document its determination, DTSC prepared an Environmental Document Analysis. No additional CEQA documentation is required for this permit renewal. The permit renewal would be in effect for 10 years and would subject the US Ecology Vernon, Inc. tot eh terms and conditions set forth in the permit renewal and the Part B Application (Operation Plan) dated Sept. 2014 with revisions in 2016 and 2017.
