<br /> Ordinance , Exhibit D: Amended Article 16 <br />Note: underlined and bolded text represents new text; strike through represents text to be eliminated <br />a. Floodplains. <br /> <br />i. All Facilities. Facilities must be designed, constructed, operated and <br />maintained to preclude failure due to flooding, per flood control <br />authorities and requirements. Provisions must be made to contain and <br />test storm runoff prior to discharge in areas subject to contamination by <br />waste or treated material. The required health and safety assessment <br />will address flooding risks associated with the facility. <br /> <br />ii. Treatment, Recycling and Collection Facilities. Facilities may be located <br />in areas subject to one hundred (100) year flooding only if protected by <br />offsetting engineered improvements, such as berms or raising the <br />facility above flood levels. This includes areas subject to flooding by <br />dam or levee failure and natural causes such as river flooding, flash <br />floods, rainfall or snowmelt, tsunamis (tidal waves), seiches <br />(earthquake-induced waves in lakes), and coastal flooding. A structural <br />analysis or engineering design study must be provided which shows <br />methods to prevent undulation or washout. <br /> <br />iii. Residuals Repositories. Repositories are prohibited from locating in <br />floodplain areas subject to one hundred (100) year flooding from natural <br />causes or dam failure, even with protection, per Code of Federal <br />Regulation (CFR), Title 40, Section 264.18(b) and California <br />Administrative Code (CAC), Title 22, Section 66391(a)(11)(b). <br /> <br />b. Earthquakes. <br /> <br />All Facilities. Facilities must have a minimum two hundred (200) foot setback <br />from active or recently active earthquake faults, per the California Adminis- <br />trative Code (CAC), Title 22, Section 6391(a)(f11)A(1) and (2). The required <br />health and safety assessment will address earthquake safety of the facility. <br /> <br />c. Unstable Soils. <br /> <br />i. Treatment, Recycling and Collection Facilities. Facilities are prohibited <br />from locating in areas of potential rapid geologic change unless the <br />facility and its containment structures have engineered design features <br />to assure structural stability. This includes areas with unstable soils, <br />steep slopes, and areas subject to liquefaction, subsidence, or other <br />severe geologic constraints. The required health and safety assessment <br />will include a geologic report defining any such constraints and <br />engineered solutions. <br />
