In a memorandum dated January 12, 1990, Marshall Julian, City Administrator, provided a proposal from the City Water Department to serve water outside city boundaries in the vicinity of Palm and Cajon Boulevard. In his staff report, he stated that this matter needs further investigation because the property involved is surrounded by the city on three sides, and the area should logically be within the San Bernardino City limits. (26) Attached to his memorandum was a memorandum dated December 27, 1989, from Bernard Kersey, Director, Administration and Finance, Water Department. In Mr. Kersey's memorandum he stated that USPCI, Inc., owns a ten-acre parcel of land located adjacent to and northeast of the intersection of Palm Avenue and Cajon Boulevard. The parcel is located in the unincorporated Verdemont area but is within the City's overlay area as described in the City'S General Plan. The applicant has requested water service from the Water Department, but plans on using septic tanks for sewage disposal. The property is within the Water Department's service area. San Bernardino Municipal Code Subsection 2.28.030 prohibits the Board of Water Commissioners from providing water outside of the city limits without Mayor and Council approval. Mr. Martin Smith, USPCI, Regional General Manager/westcoast Operations, 3165 E. Slauson Avenue, Vernon, 90058, stated that he is requesting a letter of intent from the City for proposed water service. This letter of water service is needed to complete the environmental review process by the County Health Department. City Administrator Julian explained that this water service is for a proposed development before the County planning Commission. The development presents environmental concerns that the city will inherit if the property is annexed. Therefore, the City should review the County's conditions of approval attached to the development prior to providing water service. ~ Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council Member Miller and unanimously carried, that the proposal to provide water service outside the corporate limits of the City at the northeast portion of Palm Avenue and Cajon Boulevard be approved subject to review and approval of the conditions imposed by the County of San Bernardino for the development of this project. RECESS MEETING At 10:45 a.m., Mayor Holcomb declared a ten-minute recess. 12 1/22/90 CITY OF SAN BERRARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT --r~ \'2.... \"\"(0 I The attached proposal that the City Water Department serve water outside City boundaries in the vicinity of Palm and Cajon Boulevard requires further investigation. The property involved is surrounded by the city on three sides, and the area should logically be within San Bernardino city limits. The intended use of the property is for a sensitive purpose. Assuming the use is established under County regulations, the facilities will continue to be a realistic part of the city and the Verdemont area. This is an Environmental Impact situation which the City should assure will be compatible with the surrounding acreage and development. It is therefore recommended that this matter be referred to the City Administrator for contact with Southern Pacific, LAFCo, the Department of Planning and Building Services and the RDA. A coordinated recommendation should be available for Mayor and Council action at the February 5th meeting. Attachment 75.0264 CI1'Y OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST ...OR COUNCIL ACTION "rom: Bernard C.

The parcel is located in the unincorporated Verdemont area but is within the City of San Bernardino's overlay area as described in the City's General Pl an. The parce 1 of 1 and is adjacent to the City's boundaries on three sides. The parcel is to be partially developed with a warehouse and office building and surrounding landscaped areas. All development will be consistent with City and County development standards. The overall site water demand will be 3,800 gallons per day. USPCI, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Southern Pacific Railroad, intends to develop this parcel as a hazardous waste transfer station. Containerized hazardous wastes will be trucked into this facility and transferred to rail cars for ultimate disposal in Utah. Most of the wastes will be from plating shops and solvents, typically corrosives (acids) and hydrocarbons. The facility expects to receive up to 6 trucks per day, with 80-55 gallon drums per truck. The material is to be transferred to rail cars within 120 hours. The facility will not handle any pathogenic or radiological wastes. USPCI has submitted for a Conditional Use Permit with the County of San Bernardino. The applicant has requested water service from the Water Department, but plans on using septic tanks for sewage disposal. The property is within the Water Department's service area. This service area was acquired through the acquisition of the San Bernardino Water Utilities Corporation in 1971 and the Water Department has been providing water to the entire service area since the acquisition in 1971. U/ San Bernardino Municipal Code Subsection 2.28.030 requires that the Board of Water Commissioners providing water service outside the corporate limits shall not be authorized without the approval of the Mayor and Common Council. The Board of Water Commissioners, at their regular meeting held on December 19, 1989, unanimously voted that a letter be written to USPCI that water service is available for the applicant's 10 acre parcel once development plans have been approved by both the City of San Bernardino and the County of San Bernardino. Further, the Secretary was authorized to submit the matter to the Mayor and Common Council for approval. 75-0264 "".. -P,s S"'.q" ~ "J01':> .0' :r;\\ , \':J~ _\.t'~ I (~I./ IS \;,. ~\' ~' ~ w ::. <l: @ .3.49 Ae ~r>, ~:" '2. , . ..p .' - fits .... ~! e\"'~ ~ @)O""/" '(O{66 1'('''"c.\I'!> ,,< ,~9'O\ '?,.

The parcel is located in the unincorporated Verdemont area but is within the City of San Bernardino's overlay area as described in the City's General Plan. The parcel is to be partially developed with a warehouse and office building and surrounding landscaped areas. All development will be consistent with City and County development standards. The applicant wishes to use city water for employee sanitary and land- scape irrigation purposes. It is estimated that the irrigation re- quirements will be 2,000 GPO based upon a 5,000 square foot landscaped area. In addition, the facil ity is expected to have a maximum of 50 employees which would require a water demand of approximately 1,800 GPO. Therefore, the overall site monthly water demand will be 3,800 GPO. We therefore request a letter from your office stating that City water service is available and will be provided for the subject parcel once development plans have been approved by both the City and County. We thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please contact the undersigned with any questions at your convenience. Respectfully submitted, KRUEP R ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES, INC.

W.R. HOLCOMB. MAYOR APPROVED AS TO FORM 24 AND LEGAL CONTENT: 25 26 27 28 City Attorney 12-27-89 -2- USPCI SAN BERNHRDINO PROJECT INFORMATION ~uTLINE The project will be built in the unincorporated area of San Bernardino County called Verdemont, just outside the city limits of the City of ~an Bernardino. It will sit on 9.86 acres and will be a truck-to-rail transfer station ONLY. It MILL HOT be a storage, treatment or disposal facility. It will Dot handle any nuclear waste, infectious or medical waste, or anything prone to fire or explosion. None of the waste trucked to the facility will be opened and exposed to the air. It will be in sealed drums and then sealed again inside the containers. Those containers will be lifted off the trucks by a machine calleda "Piggy Packer" and placed onto the flat bed train cars for shipment to the USPCI facility in Grassy Mountain, Utah. This facility does fit into the County of San Bernardiino's Regional Waste Management Plan. It will provide local residents and those in other county communities, the opportunity during the year to bring to the facility HOUSEHOLD (ONLY) hazardous wastes that might otherwise be disposed of illegally. USPCI plans call for morer than 50 per cent of the waste to be transferred to be non-hazardous waste. This facility will also help stop illegal dumping in other parts of the county and reduce overall hazardous waste traffic throughout the county. The Inland Empire region is the fastest growing urban center in the United States. The growing trend in both state and federal laws mandates that local and regional governments and agencies formulate and execute plans to take responsibility for managing their share of both the hazardous and non-hazardous wastes generated from within those areas. The land where the facility will be located is zoned both heavy and light industrial. The surrou~ding areas also are zoned industrial and in some cases, commercial. Therefore, the construction of this facility, following the issuance of the proper permits, is an appropriate and legal use of the site within its zoning constraints. The facility will initially create approximately 20 jobs and counting those from ancillary operations in the immediate region, the number of workers expected to result from this operation numbers more than 100. . The facility plan and permit requests to the appropriate agencies specify that only six trucks per day will be bringing containers to the Verdemont site for transfer to rail cars. Those cars will contain soil, industrial debris, water-based paints, metal finishing wastes and household wastes. Household wastes include: paints, pool chemicals, food and clothing dyes, car batteries, bleaches, ammonia and other common home cleaning solvents, bug sprays, rug shampoo, tile grout, model airplane glues and paints, etc. - , J -.J C !"---- CITY OF ~an Bernardino _r HECEI'vEIJ Ffe 1 ~I 1990 1'If)/1,r,., . l')~, ~ ~vr..'{ DI,ARTMINT 0' 'LAMMINQ AND IUILDINQ IIAVICI' LAAA Y E o I A E C T 0 i=l A E E D February 14, 1990 Matt Stowick East Valley Planning Team San Bernardino County Dept. of Land Management 385 N. Arrowhead Avenue San Bernardino, CA 92415-0180 RE: CUP/89-0099-/E200-33 Dear Matt: Thank you for providing the City of San Bernardino the information that we requested on the above referenced application. The City is currently in the very early stages of a City initiated annexation of the subject site and the surrounding area. Therefore, the City is reviewing this project with this fact in mind. After carefully reviewing the application and meeting with the applicant, the City believes that an Environmental Impact Report must be pre- pared. A fair argument can be made that the transportation, limited storage and transfer of hazardous wastes may pose a hazard to people or animal or plant populati~ns in the area affected. There is a lack of evidence in the application file to come to the conclusion that there is not a potential for signif- cant impacts to the environment. A list of all possible hazardous waste types has not been indicated. It is impos- sible to assess the environmental consequences to the public without this list (i.e., cyanide gas). The following list outlines our questions and/or concerns that should be answered and studied in an Environmental Impact Report: 1. The proposed project site is located in an area identified by the City's General Plan as a Biological Resource Management Overlay District. The Biological Survey prepared for this site leaves 300 ""OAT~ 0 STREET SA"" BEANA,A: ,.,.0 C"'~IFOANI'" 92"'8.0001 (7t4)31..107t/5057 Matt stowick February 14, 1990 Page 2 many unanswered questions. According to the survey, the San Diego horned lizard, Los Angeles mouse and the slender-horned spineflower may exist on the site. Further surveys and trappings must be accomplished to determine whether they do exist on site. Additionally, the Santa Ana River wooly star may be present on this site (see attached Figure 51) . 2. The site is located in a Flood Zone B and an area identified by the City's General Plan as having a high susceptibility to liquefaction (see attached Figure 47), and is very close to the San Andreas and the Glen Helen Faults. In the event of a major earthquake, the potential of an accidental spill exists. What protection is provided to ensure that people in the area and ground water are not at risk? What would be the effect of a major flood? will containment liners and berms be provided? Another flood related problem could occur in the event of rupture of the two million gallon water tank adjacent to the site. 3. The site is located in a high wind area. In the event of an accident, toxic fu~es may drift to populated areas downwind. A risk assessment should be prepared as part of the Environmental Impact Report. 4. There will be a substantial change in absorption rates, drainage patterns and the rate of surface water run off due to impermeable surfaces. The project plans indicate approximately 138,447 square feet of impervious surface or 35% of the project site. A hydrology study should be prepared to determine how the additional run-off will be handled. It may be necessary to enlarge the storm drain in the area due to the increased run-off. Matt stowick February 14, 1990 Page 3 5. The City's General Plan has designated the site as CG-l, commercial General and IL, Industrial Light. The proposed use is considered to be heavy indus- trial. The City is currently processing a gas station and mini-market project in the vicinity of the proposed project. Other commercial development will certainly follow since most of the land along Palm is designated commercial. Additional traffic will be generated from the future commercial uses. The proposed use will not be compatible with the commercial uses and does not conform to the City's General Plan. 6. A detailed traffic study should be prepared. The Verdemont Area is rapidly developing to the north. Residents will use the Palm Avenue off-ramp from I-215. With additional commercial traffic being generated, the addition of large trucks carrying hazardous materials could be a disaster waiting to happen. It appears that there will be increased safety h~zards to vehicles, bicyclists and pedes- tri~ns. 7. The propos~u project is proposi~1 a septic systen. There may be a poten~ial for gr~und water conta~i- nation if toxic wastes are dumped into the septic system. Part of the project involves washing the trucks that are carrying the wastes. Small amounts of chemicals may be washed into the septic system. The City would prefer that the project hook up to a sewer. Currently, the sewer exists in Industrial Road at Palm Avenue. 8. Two elementary schools are currently proposed in the Verdemont Area. Buses filled with children will be using the Palm Avenue oE:-ramp. Children and schools are sensitive receptors. Potential accidents should be looked at closely. 9. The applicant has indicated that there is the potential for expansion of the use in the future. This potential expansion should be looked at in your Initial Study. There is sufficient area to expand significantly and the California Environmental Quality Act requires that such Matt stowick February 14, 1990 Page 4 impacts be assessed when tuture actions in question are reasonablY foreseable consenquences ot the project and where the actions will change the scope or nature of the initial project or its environmental effects. After reviewing the numerous environmental constraints associated with the Verdemont Area, combined with the potential volatile nature of the proposed business, the City believes that additional risk assessment and information should be provided to the public and the decision makers in the form of an Environmental Impact Report. We hope this letter will be of assistance to you in preparing your Initial study. We are formally requesting to be notified ot any and all meetings relating to this project. We are also requesting that the Initial Study be made available to us for comment. If you should have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Ann Larson-Perbix at (714) 384-5057.

Arrowhead Avenue San Bernardino, CA 92415-0180 USPCI CUP/89-0099-/E002-33 Dear Mr. Slowick: As indicated in our letter to you dated March 2, 1990, additional studies have been conducted by USPCI and others which address elements of your Initial Study (IS) dated March 6, 1990. Of particular importance is a study conducted by Terra Geotechnical dated March 23, 1990, a copy of which is enclosed. In the Mandatory Findinos of Sionificance section of the IS, five issues are recommended to be the focus of an EIR for the proposed project. These are restated below along with our responses. 1. Issue: "Flood hazard (including but not limited to evaluation of the adjacent water tanks, drainage patterns, etc.)". Response: We questioned the engineering Staff at the City Water Department concerning the structural integrity of the water tanks. Accord ing to them, the tanks have been des igned according to AWWA standards for welded carbon steel tanks. These design criteria include provisions for seismic forces and other loads (e.g., wind). According to the Water Department, the tani< is not expected to fai 1 dur ing a maximum credible event, and that a failurE! would first occur in the discharge piping. That piping is located 180' from our property. However, as an added precaution,- we will be working with the City to install a flexible section of discharge piping. These devices are readily available and are designed to prevent pipe failure by allowing the pipe to move with the earth during an earthquake. A copy of. a manufacturer I s bulletin for such a connection has been enclosed. 515 West Greens Road . Suite 500 . Houston, Texas 77067 . (713) 775-7800 :# y(; . - . Small leaks from either tank would follow the surface contours of the City and USPCI properties. Water flowing on USPCI property would not be able to contact waste loading areas as the top of the concrete surface for the facility would be in excess of 1~/2 feet above the surrounding natural grade elevation. Water would follow flow contours around the facility to the northwest and southeast and eventually would enter the County flood control system. The Terra Geotechnical report confirms that the facility has been suitably designed to withstand the effects of a 500-year storm. This has been accomplished by raising the finished surface elevation for the proposed facility in excess of 1 foot above the surrounding natural grade elevation. Paved surfaces within the facility will be sloped to the south and out to Palm Avenue. 2. Issue: "Geologic hazard (including but not limited to liquefaction and soil conditions)." Response: The Terra Geotechnical report concludes that the site does not possess the potential for liquefaction. As a generally accepted rule, liquefaction requires a depth to groundwater of 30 feet or less. In addition, soils must be course and relatively unconsolidated. The report includes an historical groundwater level survey for the site. The survey identifies the maximum rise in groundwater to a level of 58 feet, with an average level of approximately 85 feet. During the last few years, the groundwater has been below 100 feet due to regional drought conditions. Also, site soils were found to be silty sands with cobbles and significant quantities of fine-grained materials. Taken together, the site soils and relatively deep groundwater virtually eliminates the possibility of liquefaction from occurring. The report thoroughly investigates the seismic conditions for which property improvements must be designed. It concludes that the requirements of the Unlform Building Code for Seismic Zone 4 are sufficiently stringent to insu.re structures constructed on the site will withstand the maximum credible design earthquake pred icted for the site. Zone 4 requirements wi 11 govern the design of all proposed structures. Page 2 . Terra Geotechnical's soil assessment concludes that native soils are very suitable for the intended construction and, therefore, no special soils conditions apply. 3. Issue: "Groundwater (including but not limited to variability of groundwater levels and contamination potential)". Response: Depth of groundwater and maximum groundwater rise has been thoroughly discussed in the Terra Geotechnical report. The report predicts that groundwater underlying the facility wi 11 not rise to within 50 feet of the constructed facility, with the highest recorded elevation at 58 feet below natural grade elevation. Groundwater contamination from septic sources will not be an issue since the facility will be connecting to a City sewer lateral recently installed in Industrial Way. However, the previously proposed septic system was also studied and found suitably designed in the report with the added provision of a one foot-high earth berm to preclude 500-year storm washout. The possibility of groundwater contamination from hazardous wastes has been carefully studied. Several safety features have been incorporated into the design of the facility. First, the waste transfer area (between the building and the railroad spur on the west side of the property) has been designed with waterstops at all concrete joints. The stops will be constructed of synthetic material impervious to the chemicals to be handled at the facility. Secondly, the unloading area concrete will be sloped to a sump which will be located just sou~h of the transfer area. The sump will be equipped with valved discharge pipe. When rain falls, the valve will be opened and rainwater will be allowed to exit the sump and flow along the west side of the property eastward to Palm Avenue. Should a spill occur during a rain storm, the facility operations cre'N will contain the spill using spill booms; collected liquids will be removed using a vacuum truck. The facility will not transfer wastes during excessively heavy rainfall as a matter of Corporaxe safety policy. (It is similar policy to cease transfer operations during high winds.) Page 3 . Cons istent with Cal i fornia' s weather patterns, the vast maj or i ty of trans fer operations wi 11 be conducted dur ing dry weather. Should a spill occur, the operations crew will first close the sump valve and then contain the spill with absorbent boom materials. Any liquids collected in either the sump or inside of the absorbent boom will be removed with a vacuum truck. The mater ials wi 11 be removed from the property and taken to an off-site disposal facility. In the event of a very large earthquake, it is poss ible for cracking to occur in the transfer area concrete. Although severe shaking is addressed in the design of the trans-loading equipment, USPCI believes the highest probability for spills would be during a severe earthquake. Should the concrete develop cracks and a spill occur during an earthquake, liquids could penetrate the cracks and migrate through underlying soils. To prevent wastes from contacting groundwater, USPCI will install a GO-mil High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) liner material under the concrete. The HDPE liner will be placed approximately two feet beneath the base of the concrete in the transfer area. The liner will underlie all of the transfer area as well as the unloading (straight) segment of the rail spur. The liner will be turned up at the edges, and will be shaped into a rectangular tank at it's lowest point. Should a spill penetrate the concrete, all liquids will be caught in the liner. If this should occur, and since this type of event could only occur during a severe earthquake, USPCI would be forced to excavate the damaged concrete and remove all contaminated soil. The liner would be cleaned of any collected liquids and checked for integrity, the soils replaced, and the concrete repaired prior to resuming operations. 4. Issue: "Evaluation of the risk management plan, emergency contingency plan, and emergency response of public safety agencies, in relation to issues ~l, ~2, and ~3 (above)." Response: USPCI is aware of the public concerns involving the contingency/emergency response issue. As a result, we have built in safeguards above and beyond both what is required for this facility and what is generally accepted as sufficient for this type of facility. With these "additional site data and Page 4 . design elements depicted above, we believe that no other special provisions are necessary by any public emergency response agency for the proposed facility. Since the facility will only transfer wastes in sealed containers which are contained in sealed trailers, spills are highly unlikely. Nevertheless, any such spill which could occur would be easily mitigated by USPCI staff using USPCI equipment. Since only one trailer is transferred at a time, a spill would be limited to the contents of ~ container. Finally, since all drums inside of a trailer must be chemically and physically compatible with one another, no secondary reactions such as fires or explosions could occur. Any spill cleanup would be accomplished by USPCI personnel quickly and effectively. Therefore, anyon-site spill would D..Q.t. reauire any scecial resconse cacabili ties by public emergency response agencies. Since the facility would actually reduce the number of trucks on the highway transporting hazardous wastes, there would be a corresponding decrease in the chance for a highway spill requir ing emergency response ass istance. Any off-s i te contingency would be limited to an off-site spill, and would be covered by the existing USPCI Contingency Plan which currently governs our day-to-day trucking operations. Our Contingency Plan exceeds all applicable federal transportation and California Highway Patrol regulations. 5. Issue: "Any other issues as identified by the Environmental Review Committee". Response: USPCI would welcome the opportunity to answer any questions raised by the ERC. It is our position that this facility, once fully understood by the ERC, wi 11 be seen to have a pos i ti ve safety impact on hazardous waste management wi thin the County of San Bernardino once the facility is constructed. USPCI will provide engineering details to the County on the changes described above as they are completed. It is the intent in providing the County with this additional information to enable the Planning Department to reconsider it's decision to recommend an EIR be prepared for this project. USPCI has reviewed County, City and public comments regarding the proposed facility and we have adjusted the facility design to address all viable safety concerns we have become aware of. Page 5 . We bel ieve it's in everyone's best interest to be thorough in address ing the publ ic' s concerns and, at the same time, to do it in a timely manner. To accomplish this, we believe that an EIR is not the best mechanism. We will continue to address any additional concerns which are raised by the public or County, and we feel we can accomplish that in a shorter period of time than an EIR would allow, yet be just as thorough. As a result, the public interest would be served by a thorough addressing of concerns and, upon approval of the facility, we could expedite removal of wastes from the community in a safe and efficient manner. On this basis, we urge the Planning Department to recommend a Negative Declaration be prepared for this project. CC: P. Toomey X. Hermosillo D. Sinclair T. Cornett K. Loest S. Fan V.

USPCI SAN ~NARDINO PROJECT INFORMAT I OUTLINE The project will be built in the unincorporated area of San Bernardino County called Verdemont, just outside the city limits of the City of San Bernardino. It will sit on 9.86 acres and will be a truck-to-rail transfer station ONLY. It MILL NOT be a storage, treatment or disposal ~acility. It will Dot handle any nuclear waste, infectious or medical waste, or anything prone to ~ire or explosion. None o~ the waste trucked to the facility will be opened and exposed to the air. It will be in sealed drums and then sealed again inside the containers. Those containers will be lifted off the trucks by a machine calleda "Piggy Packer" and placed onto the flat bed train cars for shipment to the USPCI facility in Grassy Mountain, Utah. This facility does fit into the County of San Bernardiino's Regional Waste Management Plan. It will provide local residents and those in other county communities, the opportunity during the year to bring to the faci::ty HOUSEHOLD (ONLY) hazardous wastes that might otherwise be di -Dosed of illegally. USPCI plans call for morer than 50 per cent ~f the waste to be transferred to be non-hazardous waste. This f3cility will also help stop illegal dumping in other parts of t.,e county and reduce overall hazardous waste traffic throughout tho county. The Inland Empire regic is the fastest growing urban center in the United States. The gr:~ing trend in both state and federal laws mandates that local and -egional governments and agencies formulate and execute plans ta take responsibility for managing their share of both the hazardous and non-hazardous wastes generated from within those areas. The land where the facility will be located is zoned both heavy and light industrial. The surrounding areas also are zoned industrial and in some cases, commercial. Therefore, the construction of this facility, following the issuance of the proper permits, is an appropriate and legal use of the site within its zoning constraints. The facility will initially create approximately 20 jobs and counting those from ancillary operations in the immediate region, the number of workers expected to result from this operation numbers more than 100. The faCility plan and permit requests to the appropriate agencies specify that only six trucks per day will be bringing containers to the Verdemont site for transfer to rail cars. Those cars will contain soil, industrial debris, water-based paints, metal ~inishing wastes and household wastes. Household wastes include: paints, pool chemic:.als, food and clothing dyes, car batteries; bleaChes, ammoni;a and other common home' cleaning solvents, bug sprays, rug Shampoo, tile grout, model airplane glues and paints, etc. it 1G :.
