AUTHORIZATION TO PROVIDE WATER SERVICE OUTSIDE
~ CORPORATE LIMITS OF CITY - TEN ACRE PARCEL ADJACENT AND
'If: NORTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF PALM AVENUE AND CAJON
BLVD.
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.

At 10:45 a.m., Mayor Holcomb declared a ten-minute recess.

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.

C;TY OF SAN BER~..4RDINO - REQUEST ~ JR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
USPCI, Inc., owns a 10 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 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.

Regarding:
Water Service Availability
Palm Avenue and Cajon Boulevard
San Bernardino County (Verdemont area), California
Dear Mr. Wessel:
Our client, USPCI, Inc., owns a 10 acre parcel of land located adjacent
to and northeast of the intersection of Palm Avenue and Cajon Boule-
vard. 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,

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.

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

C"'~IFOANI'" 92"'8.0001 (7t4)31..107t/5057
Matt stowick

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.

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.

.
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.

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.
