S Public Services Public services in the area are provided by the following entities: • Electricity - P.G. & E. electrical lines run east/west along Harney Lane at the proposed site. • Gas - P.G. &E. gas lines do not presently extend to the proposed site. • Telephone - Pacific Telephone provides service in the study area. • Water - Facilities do not exist for water service to the site. ® Sewer - Facilities do not exist for sewer service to the site. • Police Protection - The unincorporated areas are covered by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department. • Fire Protection - The site is located in the service area of the Linden - Peters Rural Fire District The only public services which would be affected by the proposed landfill are fire protection, police protection, electrical power and telephone. Demands for electrical power on the site should be minimal and typical of a small-scale commercial service. Power would be supplied only for the usual day-to-day equipment maintenance, office operation, water pumps, and for security lighting. A standard domestic service should suffice. Telephone service would be a commercial service; the business and billing part of the landfill operation would be located elsewhere. As an alternative a radio transmitter/receiver could be used. Security requirements should be nil except -near the scales, recycling and corporation yard areas. The patrol frequency required from the San Joaquin County Sheriff should be the equivalent to either a small commercial facility or residential unit in the area. Routine patrols in the area should be able to include the landfill site, much the same as is now required at the existing landfill site. Fire protection would be provided by the Linden -Peters Rural Fire District from its station located eight miles away. Response time would be approximately 15 minutes. Employess would be present at the landfill site during all hours of operation. Open burning would not be -permitted as part of the landfill operation. Fire protection requirements would be approximately the same as at the present Harney Lane landfill site. No mitigation measures are proposed to limit the minor use of electrical energy or telephone on the site. The demands for Sheriff's patrols would be reduced somewhat by providing proper security lighting and fencing in the cor- poration yard and business office areas.
