II�jj <br /> Page 42 V <br /> Landfill Gas Control <br /> Ogden Power Pacific Energy currently operates a landfill gas recovery system at the landfill to power an <br /> electrical generation plant located at the northwest corner of the landfill, as shown in Figure 3. The <br /> expansion project's landfill gas control system,in addition to the existing power plant,would include a <br /> series of gas extraction wells and connectors, a gas condensate collection system,and a gas blower/flare. <br /> Collected landfill gas would be flared off,or Ogden Pacific could use the additional landfill gas to <br /> generate electricity,if it agreed to expand its capacity. <br /> Ancillary Facilities <br /> The entrance to the Austin Road Landfill would remain at the northeast corner of the site,and a scale <br /> facility would be installed in the southeastern corner of the CYA parcel,north of the landfill access road. <br /> Site Security <br /> The landfill would have a perimeter barrier or topographic constraints and a lockable gate. Areas where <br /> hazardous or suspected hazardous materials are stored would be properly identified and secured. <br /> Landfill Operations <br /> Materials Handling <br /> The landfill would not accept: sewage sludge;asbestos;tires;abandoned vehicles;dead animals; liquid <br /> wastes;hazardous waste; inert solids(such as demolition debris,rock,concrete and brick);white goods; <br /> chemicals or chemical sludges that are toxic,corrosive,irritant,or a strong sensitizer;drugs;radioactive <br /> wastes;.flammable or explosive wastes;free liquids;oil;batteries;fuel wastes;pesticides and insecticides; <br /> bag house or air scrubber wastes;tank cleaning sludges or sediments;or contaminated soil or sand. <br /> Employee training and a load checking program would be required,including visual inspection and <br /> questioning by the scale operator,observation by equipment operators,and random load examinations. <br /> Waste disposal would be done by systematically filling and covering daily cells in a limited area. To <br /> liner during waste placement,the initial waste layer in a new cell would consist of at least five <br /> protect the g p t, aY <br /> feet of selected waste, and collection vehicles would be confined to marked access roads and directed by <br /> landfill personnel. To reduce windblown litter,odor,vectors,etc.,the working face would be made as <br /> small as practical. Cover soil would spread and compacted at the end of each working day,as required by <br /> State regulations. <br /> Disposal Site Control Measures <br /> Vector control would be accomplished through compacting and daily covering of the refuse, and grading <br /> and elimination of stagnant ponds. <br /> Bird control is currently achieved by the use of noise-makers. The landfill operator would monitor bird <br /> activity and would adjust the spacing of the noise-makers to maximize effectiveness. Bird populations at <br /> the Austin Road Landfill have not been a significant problem for planes arriving to and departing from <br /> the Stockton Airport. <br /> Litter control measures would include prompt compacting and covering of refuse,portable litter control <br /> fences,proper orientation of the working face relative to wind,and litter pick-up. <br /> GRASSETTI ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING <br />
