f CITY OF ■ • Aa# DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL UTILITIES 2500 NAVY DRIVE STOCKTON, CA 95206-1191 (209) 937-6750 FAX (209) 937-e70e January 26, 1995 San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department ATTN: Steven Mindt 445 N. San Joaquin Street Stockton, CA 95202 Facility Number: 39 -AA -001 Facility Name: Austin Road Landfill BIOSOLIDS STOCKPILED AT THE AUSTIN ROAD LANDFILL SITE This is in regard to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department report dated January 11, 1995 which was provided to the Public Works Department of the City of Stockton. Since the biosolids are the responsibility of the Municipal Utilities Department, Public Works has requested that we address the concerns expressed in this report. We understand and share your frustration with the length of time this stockpile of biosolids has been in place at the landfill. As you know, the City's original intent in moving the biosolids to Austin Road was to use this material as foundation for the final cover. Unfortunately, subsequent regulators have prohibited us from using the material in this way. I would like to assure you, however, that we are diligently working towards the removal of that stockpile at the earliest possible date for beneficial reuse. The following information is offered to assure you we are attempting to resolve this issue as expeditiously as possible. The City has decided to select a consulting engineering firm to assist us in the proper disposition of this stockpile. The selection process will take approximately two months. After that, required laboratory analysis of the stockpile will take additional time, and then the consultant will review the laboratory results to determine the best approach to use in removing these biosolids from the landfill. Our schedule calls for these biosolids to be removed by the fall of 1995. "STOCKTON... CALIFORNIA'S SUNRISE SEAPORT" S
