RECEIVED BY INSPECTION DATE: 09/28/07 OPERATOR COMMENTS: 1. AC T27CCR 20686—Beneficial Reuse—The following issues were found during the inspection. a. TASW was stockpiled with the active face,there is no separation of cover and stockpile. b. TASW was being used on the outer slopes.Normally the outer slopes should receive soil(intermediate cover). c. The green waste pile had a large amount of treated wood waste in it. 2.AC T27CCR 20580—Lighting—The site did not have adequate lighting at either working face. The lighting was an issue last winter. In order to avoid a violation on the next monthly inspection the site must obtain an additional light tower for use when needed or as a backup. 3. T27CCR 20870-Hazardous Waste—Load Checking at the working face was not being conducted. The waste was not being load checked in the early morning. The lack of proper lighting would not allow an adequate load check to be conducted. 4. AC T27CCR 20860—Trak Control—The site was using a confined work face and the morning rush of vehicles made the small unloading area unsafe. The area did not have adequate lighting,which added to the unsafe condition.The site needs to employ some type of systematic traffic controls when using a small working face to reduce the number of vehicles attempting to unload at the same time. 5. AC T27CCR 20919.5—Explosive Gas Control The following gas migration compliance wells were monitored during the routine inspection: GP 9(S)0.0% CH4 GP 11 (S)0.0%CH4 GP 12(S)0.0%CH4 (I) 0.0% CH4 (I)0.0% CH4 (I)0.0%CH4 (D)0.0% CH4 (D)2.3% CH4 (D)0.0%CH4 The facility records reflect that on August 9,2007 gas probe 11 deep registered greater than 2.5 percent methane. The facility operator needs to take the necessary steps to control the landfill gas at the boundary.Any changes or modifications to the gas extraction system must have prior approval from the SJVAPCD and the EHD.Review the Operations and Maintenance(O&M)manual to determine if all the required maintenance was conducted.
