All small volume CDI debris processing operations shall
					 comply with the EA Notification requirements set forth in CCR, Title 14,
					 Division 7, Chapter 5.0, Article 3.0, commencing at section
					 18100. These operations shall be
					 inspected by the EA at least once every three (3) months to verify compliance

					 reduced inspection frequency. The EA may approve a reduced inspection frequency
					 only if it will not pose an additional risk to public health and safety or the
					 environment but in no case shall the frequency be less than once per calendar
					 year.
[Note: See section
					 18083(a)(3) for
					 additional EA and Department requirements regarding the approval or denial of
					 requests for reducing the frequency of inspections.]
To the greatest
					 extent possible, all inspections shall be unannounced and shall be conducted at
					 irregular intervals. The operator shall specify the operation's boundary area
					 in the operating record.

				  debris stored for more than 15 days that has not been processed and sorted for

				  provided in section
				  18304.
(b) CDI debris that has been processed and
				  sorted for resale or reuse, but remains stored on site for more than one year,

				  section 18304.
(c) The maximum amount of material that may
				  be stored on site, including unprocessed material, material that is being
				  processed, and material that has been processed, is that amount which is the

				  Processing Operation Plan (as more fully described in Article 3.2, section

				  information contained in the Plan shall be reviewed by the EA to determine
				  whether it is complete and correct as defined in CCR, Title 14, Chapter 5,
				  Article 3.0, section
				  18101.
(g) Where the public may have access to them,
				  the debris piles and other piles of materials on site must be stable and

				  of all material received at the operation for handling and shall maintain
				  records of the weight of materials in accord with State Minimum Standards.
				  Weight shall be determined by the use of scales which may be located at the
				  operation or off-site.
(j) Each
				  operator shall maintain records in accordance with Title 14, California Code of
				  Regulations, Division 7, Chapter 9, Article 9.25, Section
