this study only, this location was assumed to be on Austin Road 2 miles south of Arch Road (the same location as in the 1979 SWMP). However, as previously discussed, the County has made no decision on the location of a proposed central county landfill. If the landfill were located approximately 10 miles south and/or east of the above assumed location --such that all waste from the Stockton area would go to the California Waste Removal Systems facility or the proposed Eight Mile Road transfer station instead of direct haul to the landfill -- collection and haul as well as transfer and haul costs would be approximately the same as for the Foothill Landfill alternatives. As shown in Table 7, the total costs of Alternatives D.1 and D.2 would then be about the same cost as the new Harney Lane Landfill alternatives. Public and Nonfranchised Commercial Haul Costs. The haul costs for the general public and other nonfranchised commercial haulers were initially based on 20¢/mile and 60¢/mile, respectively. This is an average figure but is subject to wide variation because of the variety of types of cars, pickups, trucks, trailers, etc., which use the landfill. Nevertheless, these cost items represent a substantial portion of the total costs for the alternatives. Eliminating these costs from consideration is a somewhat extreme measure; there will be some cost associated with this haul. Table 7 shows that by not considering these costs, the cost differences among basic alternatives do not change significantly. However, differences between alternatives with the proposed Eight Mile Road transfer station and alternatives without that transfer stations are greater than in Table 4. Thus, lowering the assumed mileage charge results in a less favorable economic justification for the proposed Eight Mile Road transfer station.
