There is a 20 foot wide access road that leads from the scale house to the winter pad (Figure 2, page 3). It provides access to the winter pad. Upon exiting, vehicles will go out through a gate in the fence along the north side of the landfill and proceed easterly to Austin Road. III. PLACEMENT OF ALTERNATIVE DAILY COVER (ADC): On Monday through Thursday, green waste grindings from the French Camp Landfill will be used as ADC at the Austin Road Landfill (Landfill). On Friday, the working face of the Landfill will be covered with 6 inches of soil cover. On those days when there is inadequate green waste to cover the working face, then soil will be used to make up for the shortage in green waste. At the Landfill, the green waste will be stored upon the 30 foot by 125 foot crushed clay pad until needed as cover. All green waste shall be used as cover within 72 hours of receipt of same at the Landfill. A 980 Wheel Loader (or equivalent) with a 15 cubic yard bucket will be used to place the green waste on the working face of the Landfill. IV. PLACEMENT OF COVER DURING WET WEATHER: Soil has been stockpiled adjacent to the winter pad for use as daily cover (Figure 2, page 3). The soil cover will be placed upon the working face with a 623 Elevating Scraper. In case the soil becomes to wet to move with the scraper, then the 980 Wheel Loader (or equivalent) will be used to move the soil into place. To provide the 6 inches of cover, the Wheel Loader uses approximately three times as much soil as the scraper requires, therefore the scraper will be used whenever possible. In the event that it is too wet to place soil cover over the working face of the Landfill, then the working face shall be covered with Covertech 400 Tarps, visqueen, etc. The absolute maximum amount of time that may pass without the Landfill being covered with soil is 21 calendar days. If it appears as though it will take more than 21 days for the area to dry out enough to place the soil cover, then Gambi will lease a 977 K Loader which would be able to place the soil cover in wet conditions. The 977 K Loader uses approximately five times as much soil as the scraper requires to provide the 6 inches of cover. The 977 K Loader is available in the area and Gambi can have one at the Landfill within 24 hours after ordering same. As noted above, Gambi will try to place the soil cover over the Landfill on Fridays, but if this is not possible they will place the soil cover over the working face on the next working day (weather permitting). Each time Gambi places soil cover over the working face of the Landfill they will notify the LEA. This will start the 21 day clock on when it is mandatory (regardless of weather) that the soil cover be placed over the working face of the Landfill. In case a big storm is predicted as moving into the area, Gambi may elect to cover the working face with soil on a day prior to a Friday. If they do elect to cover early, they will notify the LEA that they have covered the working face with soil. The placement of soil early, in case of threatening weather, will not eliminate the need for Gambi to place the soil cover on Friday, weather permitting. According to the California Integrated Waste Management Board's Bulletin No. 19 (revised), green material used as ADC can be left exposed up to twenty-one days before covering with soil, if attendants are onsite during closed days. The Board's concern is about the possibility of 0
