Title

Issuance of a Hazardous Waste Facility Permit for Southern California Edison, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)

Description

A permit renewal authorizes the continued storage of onsite generated hazardous waste. The Permit became effective on May 23rd, 2016 and will expire on May 23rd, 2026. SONGS is a nuclear power generating facility that is undergoing decommissioning and is located in San Diego County, south of the City of San Celemente. The decommissioning and decontamination (D&D) of the facility will result in the generation of hazardous waste, some of which will be contaminated with radio nuclides. This waste is referred to as Mixed Waste or Combined Waste. The D&D activities include the dismantling, removal and shipment of plant components. The Mixed Waste and Combined Waste that may be stored under the Permit include, but are not limited to, used oil, chemical solvents, lead solids, and asbestos. All Mixed Use Wastes and Combined Wastes are to be stored in sealed containers and must be shipped offsite within one year from the date they are placed in a permitted storage unit, unless the Permittee submits a Storage Extension Request to DTSC in accordance with Special Condition 7 under Part V of the Permit.
