n <br />Introduction: <br />11 <br />According to this guidance document, materials other than soil that will be used <br />as alternative daily cover must be shown to satisfy California State regulations in <br />terms of being able to act as barriers to: (1) emergence or attraction of vectors: <br />(2) progress of fire within the landfill: (3) escape of odors: and (4) excess <br />infiltration. Additionally, daily cover materials are required to control erosion, <br />prevent unsightliness, and to be applied at a compacted minimum thickness of b <br />inches. <br />The synthetic alternative cover materials are being proposed by GAMBI because: <br />I. they meet performance standards required of daily cover materials <br />2. the synthetic materials save space and extend landfill life <br />The site receives an average of of precipitation per year, as <br />measured at the Stockton Airport between the years 1949 and 1980.
