1.3 COMPARISON OF ALTERNATIVE COVER TO SOIL COVER <br /> A comparison of the properties of the alternative cover <br /> material with the corresponding properties of the soil that <br /> has been used at the site for daily cover is shown in Table 1. <br /> Table 1: Comparison of Alternate Covers to Soil Cover <br /> Property soil Greenwalste <br /> Hazardous/Pathogenic NONE NONE <br /> nature of material <br /> Air Pollution Air pollution Very little dust <br /> caused by pollution caused <br /> transporting and by transporting <br /> applying soil and applying <br /> cover material. greenwaste. <br /> Diversion credit NONE Possible <br /> mandated by the diversion credit. <br /> California <br /> Integrated Waste <br /> Management Board. <br /> Landfill Space NONE 27 , 000 cubic yard <br /> of soil cover <br /> material space <br /> will be saved per <br /> year. <br /> Based on the comparison in Table 1, Greenwaste is recommended <br /> as suitable cover for use in a pilot program at the Austin <br /> Road Landfill. <br /> 1.4 EXPECTED PERFORMANCE <br /> The selected alternative cover material is expected to perform <br /> well with respect to the functional criteria specified in <br /> Section 1. 2 . Using 1211 thick greenwaste material daily and 611 <br /> soil cover material 'on Fridays of each week will minimize <br /> vector breeding areas and animal attraction, control water <br /> movement, minimize fire hazards, and preserve site aesthetics. <br /> 4 <br />
