#15. John Smit, 12601 N. Clements Road. <br />Alleged possible contamination of a Grade A dairy one mile <br />west of project site from migration of rats, flies, odor <br />and contamination of underground water. <br />Staff — Vectors including rats and flies, and odors are effec— <br />tive y controlled at sanitary landfills by complete coverage <br />of all refuse on a daily basis. Studies have shown that b <br />maximum compaction of refuse and daily cover consisting of K#1 <br />of compacted soil discourages rat propagation and fly emergence, <br />and prevents release to the atmosphere of objectionable odors. <br />Underground water will not be contaminated in that the site will <br />be limited to the disposal of Dry solid wastes. Rainfall into <br />excavated areas will be kept separate and not allowed to form <br />leachates by sloping the excavation bottoms to provide for per— <br />colation of water away from the deposited dry solid wastes. The <br />bottom of the proposed landfill excavation will be approximately <br />150 feet above the ground water table. (This will be verified by <br />initially developing a water well as required by the State Water <br />Quality Control Board.) <br />#16. Evelyn Counts. 40LO Marfargoa Drive. <br />Spoke on bacterial and odorless gasest and the harmful effects to <br />humans from bacterial gases --she felt this effect should be noted <br />in the E.I.R. Also, she felt that the laws of the State on <br />acquisition should be included in the report. <br />Staff — Gas generation must be considered during design of the <br />sanitary landfill. It is the responsibility of the County to <br />provide suitable control facilities to prevent hazardous <br />conditions from the accumulation of odorless gases. Gas <br />monitoring devices will be installed and a monitoring program <br />will be maintained at the landfill. <br />#17. E. D. Hayden, 13605 E. Highway 882_.Locl eford. <br />Alleged project site is feeding area for ducks and geese. <br />Staff — There are no ponds or reservoirs on Hammond property. <br />The area on the site not being used for landfill will be left <br />as before and leased for continuous agricultural use. The plan <br />will utilize for landfill about 5 acres per year and will have <br />at the maximum 15 acres out of agricultural production at one <br />time. <br />
