Mr. Harry Riddle August 25, 1981 San Joaquin County Planning Dept. Page developed vineyards on the adjacent properties making to the economy of this area? Description of Project ' , page 29-32: This section of the reporiv rests solidly upon the San Joaquin County Solid Wastes Management Plan, which, as noted above, is based upon data 3-4 years old. Is this dat�, still accurate? What effect will the new Lodi operations have upon the, remaining capacity of the Harney Lane landfill? How does continuation of resource recovery at the proposed site relate to the resource recovery in Lodi and to potential service of the North Stockton area? Is it intended that the proposed site continue to serve the residents of North Stockton? How many gallons of wet waste will be disposed of at the, proposed project? How is it intended to prohibit disposal of hazardous waste at the site? How will collected leachates be disposed of? At what cost? Why hasn't "site life" been specifically determined for this "fill method"? Does the expectation of 3,200 tons of residential and commercial wastes per week at the year 2000 take into account the new City of Lodi operations and the plans for servicing the North Stockton area? Environmental Assessment, page 33-47: A proper environmental assessment of the propos�-d—project simply cannot be conducted without ? more extensive Presentation as suggested above since relevant information has either not been developed or is not current. I We are particularly intrigued by the statement appearing in the second paragraph on page 42 as follows: " These potential nuisance factors do not affect the County as a whole and are localized to these few residences. However, this potential for localized impact cannot be overlooked, and should be addressed by the legislative body during deliberations regarding the implementation and operation of this landfill." Does this mean that environmental impact is not significant if it only destroys the area around the project? Also deserving special comment in this section is the material presented on "economics" at pages 44 and 45. How can a rational decision be made without at least informed projections of capital costs and operating costs, and without some basis for comparing the proposal to other viable alternatives? Energy Considerations, pages 48-49: The consultants who prepar * the SoTid- Waste Ma�Fa—gement Plan for San Joaquin County prepared , analysis of various proposals based upon information then available whi considered, among other things, the energy costs of different methods a combinations of handling disposal of solid wastes. This report shou update that analysis given current technology and prices. 11
