1 1 The City storm water drainage system has sufficient capacity to accommodate the limited runoff from the site. A storm sewer inlet will be constructed to serve ' the site. The storm water detention and spill control devices to be utilized will ensure that wastes spilled at the Facility do not enter the City`s storm water sewer system and will minimize any potential adverse ' impacts of the Facility on the storm water drainage system. The Facility will use approximately 80,000 gallons of water per day. The capacity of the City water system is considerable and the Facility will not adversely impact the system. A 12-inch water line is available adjacent to the northern edge of the Facility. It may be desirable to connect or loop two water lines, one at Rose Place and one adjacent to the Old Dutch plant to provide a backup water supply. 4.30 Compatibility with Contiguous Properties. The Facility, as an industrial use, will be generally compatible with the industrial use of contiguous properties in terms of traffic, intensity of use, hours ' of operation, and storm water drainage. As a hazardous waste processing and storage facility, however, the use involves limited inherent risk to at least two ' contiguous properties. Permit restrictions, operational -practices, ongoing monitoring and inspection, and regulatory controls and requirements, as well as skilled management will all limit this potential risk. Waste materials received at ' the Facility will be pumped, treated, and stored so as to eliminate potential human contact. There will be numerous direct and backup safety systems to prevent harm to both employees and contiguous properties in the event of spills or accidents. Further, waste materials ' received at the Facility will be relatively safe in terms of inherent potential risk to human health. The majority of materials received at the site will be water -based sludges and liquids which contain metals or metal compounds and cyanide. Explosive material will not be accepted at the Facility. Organic wastes will be received and stored in drums at the Facility in a specially designed area. These wastes will not however, be processed or treated. Some of the liquid organic waste will be combined in the drum containers and will be shipped for processing and disposal elsewhere. The potential or inherent risk of the Facility to contiguous properties is limited because of this lack of organic waste processing. Without organic waste processing, the potential for air emissions, fire, and spills is significantly reduced. 19.
