Department of Toxic Substances Control
2001 Accomplishments and Priorities
The mission of the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is to protect public health and the environment by regulating hazardous waste facilities and overseeing the cleanup of hazardous waste sites in California. Protection of public health and the environment is the focus of all DTSC programs, and the Department's permitting, site cleanup, pollution prevention, environmental technology certification, public participation and education activities are driven by this commitment.
Site Mitigation/Brownfields
DTSC's Site Mitigation Program is responsible for the cleanup of thousands of hazardous waste sites in California. Many of these sites were former industrial plants, military bases, small business properties, and landfills contaminated with hazardous waste. Site Mitigation's programs include Brownfields, School Sites (Investigation and Cleanup), the State's Superfund Program, Military Sites and Emergency Response. One of the program's highest priorities is to conduct and oversee the cleanup and long term monitoring of these sites.
Accomplishments during the First Half of 2001
Brownfields CLEAN Program: Brownfields are properties contaminated or believed to be contaminated that are underutilized due to costs for investigation, clean up and liability concerns. Recognizing the social and economic benefits of remediating the estimated thousands of Brownfields sites in California, Governor Gray Davis signed SB 667 establishing Cleanup Loans and Environmental Assistance to Neighborhoods (CLEAN). This $85 million low interest loan program is designed to stimulate redevelopment of Brownfield sites throughout the state.
1. Following the adoption of emergency regulations in January 2001, DTSC has marketed the program to hundreds of interested parties through public workshops, participated in twenty conferences and reached a broad constituency of interested audiences over the past six months.
In addition to the establishment and marketing of the CLEAN program significant progress was made in returning Brownfield sites to useful economic anchors in California communities, including:
2. Hercules Properties: A prospective purchaser agreement was signed in February 2001, with the Bixby Company for a 167-acre former Superfund site in Hercules. The development will include office and commercial/retail buildings - which are currently under construction. The development will generate approximately $2 million per year of property taxes, add 200 plus single family housing units, and 840 multi-family home units that will significantly reduce the community's housing needs.
3. Agnews West Development: The Agnews West Development is part of the former Agnews State Hospital located in the City and County of Santa Clara. Remediation (Cleanup) of Phase I of the project (approximately 125 acres) was completed in June 2001. The site will be developed into several uses including: single and multi-family residences, a school, hotel, fire and police stations, public library, day care facility, electric substation, research and development facilities, and other commercial facilities.
4. South Bayfront Development: Final certification (approval) for the Myers Drum Facility was issued in May 2001. This certification, along with one issued in August 2000, will enable the City of Emeryville to develop 3.5 million square feet of retail, entertainment and mixed uses. The properties were formerly used as a drum recycling facility, a pigment manufacturing plant, steel manufacturing facility and a pesticide repackaging facility.
Priorities for the Second Half of 2001
1. Garden Valley Discovery Project, El Dorado County: Over the next six months, DTSC and U.S. EPA expect to validate soil samples collected at various locations within Garden Valley. Using U.S. EPA funding, ambient air monitoring will continue within the community and will include specific exposure studies looking at exposure from naturally occurring asbestos.
2. Westley Tire Fire: In the next six months, DTSC will join with the California Integrated Waste Management Board to prepare a Removal Action Workplan for tire debris piles remaining at the site after the fire. The excavation and disposal of these piles will start during the summer of 2001.
3. Stringfellow Superfund Site: DTSC will build a pre-treatment groundwater plant near the site to more thoroughly decontaminate the water and prevent the spread of chemicals in the aquifer.
4. Casmalia Resources Facility: Efforts will be made to finalize a consent decree between the U.S. EPA and the State to resolve the State's liability share of the facility cleanup.
5. Emergency Response Program: Removals at clandestine drug lab sites will continue with a projected number of 1,100 labs to be completed. DTSC also anticipates that 66 removals will use the Emergency Reserve Account.
6. Clandestine Drug Remediation Project: During the next six months, DTSC will publish a brochure for the general public regarding clandestine drugs lab cleanup. Efforts to develop remediation guidance documents and evaluations of the risks posed by drug labs will also continue.
School Site Program
DTSC continued to make progress in its effort to ensure that all new,
existing and proposed school sites are in environmentally safe.
Established by a 1999 legislative mandate, the program ensures all
proposed or new schools that receive state money for acquisition or
constructions are environmentally safe.
Accomplishments over the past six months include review and determinations on 106 Phase I assessments (investigative reports) submitted by the California Department of Education on behalf of various school districts. In addition, under a grant from the U.S. EPA, the School Division is conducting a pilot project to assist financially strapped school districts in conducting investigations at proposed sites. The program has also prepared asbestos and lead base paint guidance, and fact sheets to answer questions regarding radon gas, naturally occurring petroleum products and petrogenic methane at schools.
1. Accomplishments over the past six months for the program have included providing technical assistance, review and oversight of six remedial actions at the following California school sites:
- Jefferson New Middle School, Los Angeles
- Ysmael Vilegas elementary Proposed School, Riverside
- Belmont / Hollywood Elementary School No. 3, Los Angeles
- Valle Lindo Continuation High School, El Monte
- Former Montgomery Ward Site, Oakland
- Clearlake Community (Proposed) School a.k.a. Old Highway 53, Clearlake
- Ernesto Galaraza Elementary School, San Jose
State Superfund
The voters created California's Superfund Program to deal with the
state's most contaminated sites. The program currently works on sites
that pose the greatest threat to public health and the environment.
State Superfund sites are properties where uncontrolled releases of
hazardous substances have occurred. Accomplishments for the first half
of 2001 include the continued efforts to investigate, remediate and
monitor the following hazardous waste sites:
1. Casmalia Resources Facility, Santa Barbara County: Over the past six months work has continued on modifying the protective cap design for this former hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The facility, with state concurrence, has been proposed for the federal National Priorities List (NPL). Placement will allow federal funds for the facility's continued investigation and cleanup.
2. Stringfellow, Riverside County: In May of 2001, a settlement was reached between DTSC, the federal EPA and several responsible parties that will spur investigation, cleanup and monitoring at this former hazardous waste disposal facility.
3. Palos Verdes (PV), Los Angeles County, Shelf Settlement: A settlement was reached on March 15, 2001, which will provide $30 million to trustees and $43 million to the federal EPA (of which $10 million was deposited into an account by DTSC for operations and maintenance.) DTSC has received over $500,000 from collective settlements for past costs associated with the PV project.
4. Cal Compact Landfill, Carson, Los Angeles County: DTSC entered into three consent decrees, which will require oil and chemicals companies to contribute over $8 million and the property owners to provide $26 million for site cleanup. A retail outlet mall and hotel are planned for the site.
5. Westley Tire Fire, Westley, San Joaquin County: DTSC completed the removal of oil contaminated soils from contaminated ponds at the site and provided oversight of the removal of oil contaminated soils from an additional pond. In March 2001, DTSC started additional field activities to install groundwater monitoring wells and other site characterizations. (Please see listing for this site in the Integrated Waste Management Board section.)
Military Sites Program
DTSC's Military Sites Program provides investigation, technical
assistance and oversight of military installations currently or
previously owned or operated by various branches of the Department of
Defense. Accomplishments during the first half of 2001 include:
1. Fort Ord, Monterey County: An agreement was signed in February 2001, between the York School, a private parochial school, and DTSC. The agreement will provide additional protection from residual unexploded ordnance (UXO) that may remain on the property. The property will be investigated, characterized and eventually leased for use as athletic fields.
2. Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, Solano County: A consent agreement was reached in April 2001, to transfer responsibility for cleanup of the central and eastern portions of the island to the City of Vallejo and Lennar Mare Island. DTSC entered the agreement with the anticipation of an early transfer of the property from the U.S. Navy to Lennar Mare Island in the fall of 2001.
Emergency Response Program
The Emergency Response Program provides immediate assistance in sudden
releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The program
also provides assistance to local and state and federal law
enforcement by responding to requests for assistance in removing
hazardous substances from clandestine drug laboratories. The Emergency
Response Program also provides emergency response equipment and
training to local agencies. Accomplishments over the past six months
include:
1. Emergency Removal Actions: Emergency Removal actions were completed at 1,104 clandestine drug lab sites and 72 other sites throughout the state. During the past six months, DTSC responded to a request to remove chemicals from a clandestine drug lab every six hours.
2. Gibson Environmental, Bakersfield: A removal action with included the stabilization and removal of 750,000 gallons of liquids and 2,000 gallons of sludge was completed at this former treatment and storage facility.
3. Clandestine Drug Remediation: DTSC launched a program designed to develop consistent remediation procedures for Clandestine Drug Labs. Staffing and funding commitments were put in place to support the development of protocols for the investigation and guidance for local governments for these sites.
Hazardous Waste Management Program
The Hazardous Waste Management Program ensures that state and federal
requirements for managing hazardous waste are effectively implemented.
The program consists of the Permitting Division, Enforcement, Criminal
Investigations Branch and the Waste Evaluation Unit.
Accomplishments during the First Half of 2001
Permitting Division: The Permitting Division: makes permit determinations on facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste; develops regulations, develops guidelines and provides training; provides data management and tracking and provides geologic support services. Accomplishments over the first half of 2001 include three final permit decisions, seven permit modifications, and the issuance of three emergency permits.
1. Final Permit Determinations:
- Riverbank Oil Transfer, LLC, San Joaquin County / January 2001/ Permit Issued--Truck to Rail Transfer Station
- Demenno Kerdoon, Los Angeles County/ June 2001/ June 2001/ Permit Issued -Anti-Freeze and Used Oil Recycling Facility

- Chevron El Segundo, Los Angeles County
- Safety Kleen, Los Angeles County
- GNB Technologies, Los Angeles County
- Aerojet General, Sacramento County
3. Emergency Permits:
- Marine Corps Air Station, San Diego County. Two emergency permits were issued for the management of waste munitions. One enabled the destruction of approximately 8,000 deteriorated ordnance. The other permit issued to the facility allowed the detonation of a 155-millimeter projectile.
- Sierra Army Depot, Lassen County. An emergency permit was issued to allow detonation of smoke bombs found during remediation.
- City of Niland, Imperial County. The emergency permit was enabled the treatment of a military ordnance item found near a residence and a liquid gas pipeline.
Enforcement: DTSC's Enforcement Program ensures that all hazardous waste generators, transporters, and hazardous waste management facilities are in compliance with state and federal laws.
The program monitors hazardous waste transfer, storage, treatment and disposal facilities for illegal activity, including electronic manifest surveillance and monitoring of registered hazardous waste haulers; and takes appropriate action against hazardous waste handlers that violate hazardous waste requirements found through routine inspections, complaint investigations, and focused enforcement initiatives. The program also provides technical investigation assistance and expert testimony for civil and criminal investigations. Accomplishments over the past six months include:
1. California Mexico Border: The border program personnel routinely conduct border truck stops at the Calexico and San Diego border crossings to monitor import and export of hazardous wastes. During the first half of 2001, border truck stops were conducted on 16 occasions at the Calexico crossing with a total of 163 vehicles being inspected. At the San Diego border crossing 725 vehicles were inspected.
2. Shields Industries (Shields): In a case that was developed by DTSC, the California Highway Patrol and the San Bernardino County District Attorney and Fire Department, the Superior Court sentenced unregistered hazardous waste transporter John Shields to 365 days in county jail for illegal disposal of hazardous waste at an unauthorized point. In addition, Mr. Shields was barred from owning, operating, managing or working in a supervisory capacity in a hazardous waste storage/disposal or transportation business.
3. Denova Environmental, Inc. (Denova): On March 9, 2001 DTSC issued an Imminent and Substantial Endangerment Order to this Rialto based hazardous waste storage and transfer facility. The Order required the facility to immediately cease receiving hazardous waste until it had reduced the amount of waste on site. DTSC continues to investigate for additional violations.
4. Gene's Plating Company (Gene's Plating): In a case that was jointly investigated by DTSC and the Los Angeles City Attorney Environmental Crimes Unit, Gene's Plating was cited for violations resulting from the release of hazardous waste on a street in the City of Los Angeles. In April 2001, Gene's Plating pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor counts of disposal and was sentenced $27,000 in fines and penalties and ordered to make restitution to the investigating agencies.
5. Special Devices, Inc. (SDI): A parallel proceedings case that was investigated and prosecuted by the FBI, the U.S. Prosecutor's office, DTSC, and the State Attorney General. SDI was an explosive device manufacture that was treating waste explosive devices without a permit. The settlement of the criminal portion of the case, which included three felony counts, was $1.5 million and the civil portion of the case was settled for $545,000.
Universal Wastes: Universal wastes are hazardous wastes that pose lower risk and are generated by a wide variety of people, other than only industrial sources. At present, universal wastes include hazardous waste batteries, lamps, and thermostats.
1. DTSC has continued to develop regulations regarding universal wastes: The major objective of the regulations was to divert widely generated hazardous waste from non-hazardous waste streams. In February of 2001, after a 60-day public notice, comment period and public hearing DTSC initiated work on a response to comment document. The Office of Administrative Law readopted the emergency Universal Waste Rule in March 2001, for an additional 120 days.
2. Cathode Ray Tubes: In California alone, an estimated 30 million televisions and computer monitors are expected to be disposed of within the next five years. A typical 17-inch monitor contains approximately 2.2 pounds of lead and an older 27-inch television can contain eight pounds of lead. DTSC has initiated the process of developing emergency regulations that would manage cathode ray tubes as a "universal waste."
3. Regulation Packages & Initiatives: Assessment of Administrative Penalties Regulations: Following up on a commitment to produce more consistent penalty regulations for violations of hazardous waste control laws, the regulations are anticipated to be in effect in August 2001. Changes were made to the package after a February 2001, public hearing and a 45-day public comment period. Some of the changes include a downward adjustment of the total base penalty for good compliance history, and multi-day penalty calculations as two percent of the adjusted initial penalty for each day of the violation occurred after the first day.
4. Financial Responsibility of Hazardous Waste Facilities: DTSC continues to evaluate the financial assurances provided by hazardous waste facilities to ensure that sufficient financial resources exist to close the facilities, clean up hazardous waste and provide third party liability for onsite accidents. DTSC has also been monitoring the bankruptcy proceedings of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and how the bankruptcy impacts PG&E's ability to comply with the statutory requirement to provide financial responsibility for the company's hazardous waste facilities in California. DTSC also continues to monitor the bankruptcy proceedings of Safety-Kleen.
5. The Permitting Division continued to work on developing and consolidating a data base system consisting of multiple, linked database files which, when finished, will consolidate several existing databases. The consolidated Permitting database will be a module linked to the new Internet based Hazardous Waste Manifest Tracking System. It is anticipated that the system will be complete in May 2002.
Hazardous Waste Management Program
Priorities for Second Half of 2001
1. A public notice of draft emergency regulations for cathode ray tubes will be published for industry and public comment. The new regulatory system will facilitate the effective collection and recycling of these products, and provide a cost-effective alternative to disposal in municipal landfills.
2. Universal Waste: Working with the California Integrated Waste Management Board, the agencies will continue joint efforts to develop an infrastructure for the collection and recycling of universal waste generated by California households.
3. Border: Continuing its efforts to monitor the import and export of hazardous waste along California's southern border, DTSC will continue its joint efforts with Cal/EPA, U.S. EPA, Mexico and other agencies to develop a plan that addresses environmental issues in and near California's border communities.
4. Incorporating standard procedures to produce consistent inspections, an enforcement compendium is being developed that will include guidance on key program areas including enforcement response, economic benefit calculations, quarantine authority, complaint response and report writing.
5. The following permits will be processed:
- Phibrotech, Los Angeles County
- Industrial Services, Los Angeles County
- GNB Exide, Los Angeles County
- RSR/ Quemetco, Los Angeles County
- Sierra Army Depot, Lassen County
- Agilent Technlogies, Santa Clara County - An administrative variance that will define a portion of this facility’s onsite operations will be issued.
6. Data Management Project Development and planning for a data management project will continue. The permitting module development will commence in December 2001, and be completed about May 2002.
Office of Legal Counsel & Criminal
Investigations Branch
The Office of Legal Counsel staff attorneys provide a wide range of
legal services. Legal matters fall within three general areas:
administrative practice, environmental practice, and
advocacy/litigation practice. The Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB)
is staffed with sworn peace officers with the powers of arrest, search
and seizure. The CIB investigates alleged criminal violations of the
Hazardous Waste Control Law and routinely pursues a wide range of both
felony and misdemeanor cases.
Accomplishments during the First Half of 2001
Over the past six months, the following cases were resolved:
1. BC Stocking: The DTSC reached an agreement in principle with the defendants in this enforcement action. The defendants agree to pay $1.65 million in penalties and costs, divided between the county ($600,000 for underground storage tank violations) and DTSC ($1.05 million for hazardous waste violations.) The defendants also stipulated that judgments might be entered against them increasing the penalty to $3.1 million if they default on the agreement.
2. Cal Compact: DTSC, the site owners, the Defense Group, and Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company finalized negotiations on three new Consent Decrees and lodged them in with the court in February 2001. As a result of the Consent Decrees, the sum of $2,000,000 shall be paid to the Site Specific Account established by DTSC to address the site.
3. U.S. v. J.B. Stringfellow, et al.: In April 2001, the United States gave notice of lodging of a proposed consent decree with the State of California, resolving claims for response costs incurred by the United States at the site through December 31, 2000. The proposed consent decree requires the State to pay the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund, within 30 days following the passage of the California Budget Act for the 2001-2002 fiscal year, the sum of $99,440,000 in reimbursement of those costs. The proposed consent decree is subject to a comment period of at least 30 days after publication of notice in the Federal Register.
4. New Age Metal Finishing: In April 2001 a federal grand jury handed down a ten-count felony indictment against the facility and it’s owners for dumping hazardous waste into the City of Fresno’s sewer system. The case was investigated by the Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB) with assistance from the U.S. EPA’s Criminal Investigations Division (CID) and was referred to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
5. ADD Distribution and Dry-Cleaning: CIB was actively involved in a case with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, the U.S. EPA CID, in a 15-month investigation of this Vernon California based facility. In March 2001, a Colorado Grand Jury indicted six individual and two corporate defendants variously charged with 34 criminal counts including racketeering, forgery, and attempting to influence a public servant. The company’s president and manager were arrested, with the assistance of DTSC CIB in Santa Monica in March 2001.
Science, Pollution Prevention and Technology Program
Created in 1996 to consolidate DTSC’s technically and scientifically oriented activities, and to support environmental improvements through pollution prevention and new technologies. The program consists of three divisions: Human and Ecological Risk Division, Office of Pollution Prevention and Technology Development, and Hazardous Materials Laboratory.
Accomplishments during the First Half of 2001
1. DTSC continued with its participation in the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program. Over the next six months, DTSC anticipates conclusion of evaluations for national verification for several innovative technologies.
2. Initiated during the second half of 2000, DTSC completed the first phase of a Petroleum Refinery Project that assessed the environmental footprint of 22 refineries in the state. The effort required the collection of site-specific information from various Cal/EPA boards and Departments.
3. Environmental Indicators: Working with an interagency team, a set of candidate indicators was created to measure the environmental pressures created by hazardous waste generation and disposal, as well as measures of state clean up activities. The indicators will be part of an initial report that will be released in the second half of 2001.
4. Waste Classification: Developed and refined protocols for the preparation and analysis of waste cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and alkaline batteries. Both wastes exceeded hazardous waste criteria.
5. EcoNotes: Posted a series of new EcoNotes on the DTSC web page. Hyperlink http://www.cwo.com/-herd1. These notes are “evergreen” and supplement the formal DTSC Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance. EcoNotes are peer reviewed by the U.S. EPA Region IX Biological Technical Assistance Group prior to posting.
6. Acquired logistical support (dual processor computers) needed to initiate review of the multimedia risk assessment model (MMRA) that supports the U.S. EPA’s proposed Hazardous Waste Identification Rule. The MMRA is a complex, stochastic model. Continued coordination with Cal/EPA and Health and Welfare Agency Boards on two major risk assessment issues: hexavalent chromium in 1. drinking water, and the occurrence of naturally occurring asbestos in the Sierra foothills.
7. Continued support for local government Pollution Prevention (P2) programs: Established a new Pollution Prevention Program in Fresno and started work for the 2001 Pollution Prevention Week (September 17-23, 2001)
8. Vehicle Service and Repair Project: Conducted 20 training sessions with over 500 people. Completed an outreach program to staff in over 90% of the Certified Unified Program Agencies and established informal working agreements with Ford, AAA of California, and NAPA to promote pollution prevention in their auto repair shops.
9. Mexico Border: Conducted a series of eight pollution prevention workshops and established working relationships with state and local counterparts in Mexico. The program will continue work with San Diego State University to continue to have technical pollution prevention fact sheets translated into Spanish.
10. Interstate Technology and Regulatory Cooperation (ITRC) Workgroup: Continued participation and support efforts by the ITRC Workgroup, a unique forum in the U.S. that enables collective learning about new and innovative environmental technologies. The ITRC includes 38 states as members. Over the past six months, DTSC participated in the development of 16 Internet based training sessions on four subjects that were used by over 3,000 students in 22 countries and all 50 states.
Priorities for Second Half of 2001
1. Environmental Indicators: Final work will be completed on a report on Environmental Protection Indicators for California (EPIC) will be completed, including a initial set of indicators including hazardous waste generation and disposal, site cleanup and monitoring for bioaccumulative chemicals. Additional priority chemicals will be selected in the future.
2. School Unit Support: Completion of over 200 active school sites project for which Environmental Oversight Agreements have been signed and finalize draft guidance on radon, naturally occurring asbestos, natural oil fields, former dairy farms, former agricultural properties and lead based paint.
3. Vehicle Service and Repair Project: Program will focus on designing and entering a formal contract with community colleges to develop a repair technical training curriculum.
4. Pollution Refinery Project: Over the next six months, the second phase of this project will start which includes seeking three to five facilities to volunteer to commit exploration or implementation of pollution prevention projects.
5. Certification of Environmental Technologies: Will continue to respond to environmental technology company inquires about certification of the performance of their technology.
6. Interstate Technology and Regulatory Cooperation (ITRC) Work Group: DTSC will continue its participation and support for this program by developing three additional training modules that will be offered over the Internet two to three times per month. Two classroom-style training classes on bioremediation and phtoremediation are being considered.
7. Life Cycle Analysis: Using the experience of private and government sectors, the branch will be developing the structure for life cycle analysis. This work will be helpful in determining the impacts resulting from specific technologies, activities, or policies. The results of this work will be especially useful in multi-media analysis and comparing analysis.
External Affairs
The Office of External Affairs includes DTSC’s Public Participation Program, the Information Office and the Office of Education. The Program links DTSC to the public, providing communications services and regulatory assistance regulated businesses, community groups, media and other governmental agencies.
Accomplishments during the First Half of 2001
Over the past six months, a significant effort was made to provide information to community members, local governments and environmental organizations. Accomplishments include:
1. Constituency Outreach Campaign: Significant progress was made on this effort to target audiences impacted by DTSC’s activities, such as parents and teacher organizations, non-profits, industry and business groups, State and federal agencies and academic institutions. Progress on the campaign was made by:
- Reorganizing and re-staffing the Office of Education with a new Branch Chief, a technical writer and a student intern.
- Established a new working relationship with the University of California and the California State University systems under a Memorandum of Understanding for the production of collateral materials, graphics, and multimedia assistance for outreach and informational purposes.
