5.14 WASTE MANAGEMENT Of the seven sites within Lodi city limits,the site located in Lodi, California at 17 South Church Street is the closest to the LEC project site. The site is known as Guild Cleaners and is located on 0.5 acre. A dry cleaning operation has been located on this site since 1959 and perchloroethylene (PCE) had been used as a solvent for dry cleaning. PCE was detected in the groundwater in Municipal Well#3,located 0.25 miles from Guild Cleaners. The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) has performed two soil gas surveys and sampled the sewer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) completed a preliminary assessment of the site in July 1991 and recommended closing two wells due to PCE and trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination. RWQCB was no longer actively working on the site as of June 30,1992. The LEC site is not located on a Cortese-listed site and is not affected by the Guild Cleaners site due to the distance between the two sites. 5.14.2.3 Solid Waste Disposal Nonhazardous solid waste (often referred to as solid waste,municipal solid waste, or garbage) will be recycled or deposited in a Class III landfill. Hazardous wastes,both solid and liquid,will be delivered to a permitted offsite TSD facility for treatment or recycling, or will be deposited in a permitted Class I landfill. The following sections describe the waste disposal sites feasible for disposal of LEC wastes. 5.14.2.3.1 Nonhazardous Waste Approximately 203 tons of nonhazardous solid waste will be generated during construction of the LEC,and solid waste will continue to be generated during operation of the project. Other solid wastes will be recycled to the extent possible, and what cannot be recycled will be disposed of at a permitted landfill. It is anticipated that all excavated soil will be used onsite for grading and leveling purposes. In the event that some of the excavated soil will not be reused onsite,classification of the soil for disposal would be made on the basis of sampling completed once the soil is excavated and stockpiled.Soil that is determined to be nonhazardous on the basis of the sampling conducted could be suitable for reuse at a construction site or disposal at a regional disposal facility, depending on the chemical quality. Through San Joaquin County,the City of Lodi contracts with Central Valley Waste Services (CVWS) to provide local service for residential,commercial,and industrial solid waste hauling, as well as the collection of recyclable materials. CVWS operates a transfer and processing facility at 1333 East Turner Road in Lodi,approximately 12 miles northeast of the LEC project site. The CVWS Transfer and Processing Facility encompasses 16 acres and is permitted to receive 1,700 tons of waste per day. The primary disposal facility is the county owned and operated North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill located in Victor, approximately 20 miles from the LEC site. The North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill has adequate capacity to handle and dispose of solid waste generated by the LEC facility,as shown in Table 5.14-3. The other landfills included in this table,Foothill Sanitary Landfill and Lovelace Materials Recovery Facility and Transfer Station, are alternatives to the North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill. 5.14-8 SAC/371322/082330007(LEC_5.14_WASTE MANAGEMENT.DOC)
