INTRODUCTION <br /> The City of Stockton's Austin Road Landfill currently utilizes <br /> on-site soil for cover material and is expected to deplete all <br /> available daily cover soil supplies by 1996. As a result, <br /> alternative cover materials are being evaluated. It is <br /> anticipated that the Chipped Greenwaste would be beneficial <br /> for both of the City's Austin Road and French Camp Landfill <br /> for the following reasons: <br /> A. Reduce the amount of soil required for daily cover at <br /> both landfills. <br /> B. Eliminate or reduce dust pollution by not <br /> transporting/importing soil cover material. <br /> C. Reduce the amount of Greenwaste land filled at the French <br /> Camp landfill thus extending the useful life and also <br /> reduce the amount of purchased soil cover material <br /> required. <br /> D. Possible diversion credit mandated by the California <br /> Integrated Waste Management Board. <br /> Whereas diversion credit mandated by the California Waste <br /> Management Act of 1989 is being sought, the impetus for this <br /> program is economics. <br /> The City of Stockton will evaluate the use of an alternative <br /> cover, compare the alternative cover to the soil that has been <br /> used for daily and intermediate cover, and set up a pilot <br /> program to monitor the alternative cover for Performance <br /> Standards as specified in Section 17683 , Title 14 , California <br /> Code of Regulations (CCR) . <br /> The San Joaquin County's Environmental Health Services <br /> Division acting as the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) , will <br /> monitor the pilot program for a one year period. This report <br /> constitutes a request to utilize an alternative cover material <br /> and is based on the California Integrated Waste Management <br /> Board (CIWMB) document "Procedural Guidance for the Evaluation <br /> of Alternative Daily Covers, " dated May 17, 1990. <br /> 2 <br />
