7 1 r 11 2.0 OPERATION SUMMARY This section presents a detailed account of the proposed site's daily landfill pro- cedures, local climate, mitigations for noise, odor, and other nuisance factors, and compatibility with adjacent land uses and state and local regulations. 2.1 DAILY OPERATING PROCEDURES The North County Sanitary Landfill, proposed as a Class III facility replacement for the existing Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill, would be open 7 days per week, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 pl., 362 days per year. These hours are subject to adjust- ment depending upon site use. The design capacity of the facility is approxi- mately 17,300,000 cubic yards. The waste quantity received at the new site would be similar to that currently re- ceived at the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill in 1988 (124,901 tons). An average of 347 tons per day were received in 1988 with a daily peak of approximately 620 tons per day. The new site .is initially expected to receive approximately 2,500 tons of nonhazardous solid waste per week (350 tons per day, 127,800 tons per year) with daily peak loads of 770 tons per day. This waste quantity for 1990 is expected to increase 3 percent annually, based on waste patterns at the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill. The new site will have a gate house and truck scale to record and inspect in- coming wastes and collect disposal fees. A maintenance building with sanitary facilities and parking for landfill personnel and visitors will be included in the en- trance area. A gate will be installed on the access road from Harney lane to pre- vent unauthorized entry to the landfill. Signs will be posted identifying the site operator, hours of operation, types of material accepted, and charges for dis- posal. A permanent, separate, paved unloading area will be provided for small vehicles. These vehicles will unload into large bins which will be transported to the landfill working face using landfill equipment. This area will also be used to separate, recover, and store materials which are recyclable. PJ9\939\9390219 9 Rev. 1 September 15, 1989
