P.!2e 7 <br />02. James Hammond (cont). <br />Alleged that it is now permissible to dispose of pesticide <br />containers at the Harney Lane dumpsite --he referred to <br />categories 112,314. He felt that the pressure of business <br />would not allow verification of rinsing as per regulations <br />and that there would be contamination of streams and cattle. <br />He noted that the dairy in the area would have a hazardous <br />condition to work against. The cattle ingest plastic bags <br />which cause stunting of the cattle's growth. <br />Staff - Pesticide cans will be received at the landfill after <br />they are properly cleaned as per state regulations and certified <br />for disposal by the agricultural commissioner. <br />The landfill will not create a hazardous condition for the <br />dairy in the area in that the underground water will not be <br />contaminated in, that the site will be lted to the disposal <br />of "dry" solid wastes and will be in essence a "dry" operation. <br />Rainfall into excavated,areas will be kept separate and not <br />allowed to form leachates by sloping the excavation bottoms <br />to provide for percolation of water away from the deposited <br />"dry" wastes. The bottom of the proposed landfill excavation <br />will be approximately 150 feet above the groundwater table. <br />(This will be verified by initially developing a water well <br />as required by the State Water Quality Control Board.) <br />Litter fences, earth berms and the planting of shrubs along the <br />property line will be considered in the design to contain the <br />problem of wind blown paper within the landfill site property. <br />V12. James Hammond (cont)w <br />Alleged that the report written by Walter Weis on the Storie <br />Rating was published in 1952 and the soil rating would be much <br />higher today due to current technology. The soil rating does <br />not indicate new methods, such as deep -ripping of the hard pan. <br />Staff - The Storie Rating classifies natural soils to any given <br />area. Soil treatment such as deep -ripping is a matter of <br />economic feasibility. <br />No change in Storie Rating --is as valid today as in 1952. <br />
