The purpose of the Nonhazardous, Nonputrescible, Industrial Solid Waste Codisposal Plan (Plan) is to describe the operation of the Chemical Waste Management, Inc. (CWMI) Kettleman Hills Facility (KHF) permitted Class I disposal facilities for the codisposal of hazardous and nonhazardous, nonputrescible, industrial solid waste (NNISW). The plan is required by California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14 Division 7 Chapter 3.0 Article 5.7 Section 17369 (b), and Chapter 5.0 Article 3.2 Section 18225. 2. CWMI operates the KHF as a Class I treatment, storage and disposal site for hazardous waste (Class I) as well as disposal of other nonhazardous and municipal solid wastes (Class II and III). Currently hazardous waste and NNISW materials are disposed in Landfill B-18, while nonhazardous and municipal solid wastes are disposed in Landfills B-19and B-17. 3. This Plan provides the basic operating parameters used for the codisposal of wastes. Additional operational requirements for disposal of hazardous waste materials are provided in the Landfill B-18 Operation Plan. In general, operations will be performed in a manner consistent with current hazardous waste disposal operations. Items specific to the codisposal of nonhazardous, nonputrescible, industrial solid waste are discussed in the following sections. 2.0 OWNER AND OPERATOR 1. The Owner and Operator of the KHF is Chemical Waste Management, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Management. The corporate office of Waste Management is located at: Waste Management, Inc. 1001 Fannin Street Suite 4000 Houston, Texas 77002 (713) 512-6200 The KHF site address is: Chemical Waste Management, Inc. Kettleman Hills Facility 35251 Old Skyline Road Kettleman City, California 93239 Chemical Waste Management, Inc. – Kettleman Hills Facility February 2020 - 4 - 3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 1. The KHF is located in western Kings County, California, in the Kettleman Hills which border the west side of the San Joaquin Valley (see Figure 1). 2. As shown on Figure 2, the KHF is located on an approximately 1,600-acre parcel in which 555 acres are permitted for the management of waste treatment, storage and disposal operations. Interstate 5 (I-5) provides the primary north/south access to the KHF vicinity. The entrance to the site access road is located approximately 2.6 road miles west of I-5 on State Route 41. 3. Figure 3 provides a topographic map of the site indicating the location of the active, closed and inactive disposal sites. Almost all of the closed units at the KHF are pre-Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) disposal facilities that primarily contain solid and liquid hazardous wastes. Small amounts of nonhazardous, nonputrescible, industrial solid waste may be present in these units. Landfill B-18 is currently used for the disposal of hazardous waste materials, as well as NNISW. Landfill B-17 is currently used for the disposal of nonhazardous and municipal solid wastes. Codisposal of hazardous and nonhazardous, nonputrescible, industrial solid waste will only occur in permitted Class I disposal units. 4.0 HOURS OF OPERATION 1. The KHF is permitted to operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The site typically accepts waste between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. In order to manage special situations, the KHF may operate continuously. Advance arrangements with KHF will be required to arrange disposal outside of the normal operating times to assure adequate personnel and equipment can be scheduled. 2. For purposes of calculating the amount of nonhazardous, nonputrescible, industrial solid waste received and codisposed with hazardous waste, the start of the operating day is considered 12:00 a.m. Chemical Waste Management, Inc. – Kettleman Hills Facility February 2020 - 5 - 5.0 CODISPOSAL WASTE MANAGEMENT UNIT 1. Codisposal of nonhazardous, nonputrescible, industrial solid waste shall only be performed in permitted Class I landfills. Currently Landfill B-18 is the only active Class I unit. Landfill B-18 has a design capacity of 15,600,000 cubic yards. As of January 1, 2020, approximately 3.58 million cubic yards remain for future disposal operations. The landfill is designed to prevent surface water run-on to the landfill or run-off of surface water from the landfill. 2. Landfill B-18 is lined with a double

  • BIRDS of the KETTLEMAN HILLS AREA, CALIFORNIA by IDA DEMAY WILSON
    July, 1945 149 BIRDS OF THE KETTLEMAN HILLS AREA, CALIFORNIA By IDA DEMAY WILSON It is always interesting to find out what sort of wild creatures manage to live in un- favorable regions which have little water or vegetation to make them habitable.,Such a region is the southwestern part of the San Joaquin Valley in California. Here, at about the half-way point on a straight line between Los Angeles and San Francisco, the Kettle- man Hills rise out of the dry, barren-looking flats. They extend northwestward from Kern County, through Kings County, into Fresno County, on the eastern edge of the Coast Range. The Kreyenhagen Hills and the Diablo Range, less than five miles away to the west across the Kettleman Plain, support more vegetation than the Kettleman Hills and provide suitable habitats for more kinds of animals. So also does the Coalinga area to the northwest (Arnold, Condor, 39, 1937 :31-35), about seventeen miles from the town of Avenal, which is situated on the Kettleman Plain just west of the north dome of the Kettleman Hills. The canals and low farm lands around Tulare Lake, about five miles east of the Hills, attract a wide variety of ducks, herons, and shore birds, but few of these stray to the Kettleman Hills. The highest point in the Kettleman Hills rises about 900 feet above the edge of the San Joaquin Valley and about 600 feet above the Kettleman Plain. It has an altitude of 1366 feet (Woodring, Stewart, and Richards, U.S. Dept. Int., Geol. Surv.

(WMI). The story of Kettleman City is a cautionary tale of hubris that warns of the consequences of the complete disregard for the natural environment and the tolerance for corporation’s profit-generating schemes that harm human health and the ecosystem. Divided into three parts, the project expands scholarship on the anthropology of disaster, the study of corporations in the United States within a framework of environmental justice, and the controlling processes underlying the dominant paradigms. The first part of the dissertation examines government and corporate neglect and acquiescence to the incremental degradation and devastation of California’s environment since the mid- nineteenth century involving the displacement and extermination of Native Americans and the Tulare Lake Basin, the killing and contamination of migratory birds in the Kesterson Wildlife Refuge, and the corruption and power of the agricultural industry.
