L' 1 5.0 SITE LOCATION AND ACCESS The proposed NCSL is at 38006' latitude, 121004' longitude in the eastern half of Section 21, T3N, RBE, on the Linden, California U.S. Geological Survey topo- graphic quadrangle (see Figures 5-1 and 5-2). The main access road to the site is Harney Lane, a two-lane rural road which runs east -west. It is accessible via State Route 99, a four -lane freeway running north -south between Lodi and Stockton, and Jack Tone Road, a two-lane high speed county road running north and south. The average speed limit on Harney Lane is 45 to 55 mph. The proposed NCSL is expected to have the same traffic volumes and related traffic patterns as the existing Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill. A deceleration lane will be constructed along Harney Lane to assist traffic moving east into the site. A paved entrance road will be constructed for all-weather ac- cess to the site. The entrance facility will be located about 900 feet south of Har- ney Lane to allow vehicles to line up on site, preventing traffic flow disturbances on Harney Lane. The existing Harney Lane facility generates approximately 217 wasteloads per day (one waste load represents two trips). Of the 217 loads coming to and from the landfill, approximately 7 percent are waste transfer trucks and refuse collec- tion trucks, such as rear or front loaders, and 93 percent are private vehicles, such as pickup trucks and cars. (San Joaquin County Landfills Database, 1988). This traffic volume is expected to continue at the new site. The general origin distribution of landfill -related vehicle trips is shown in Fig- ure 5-3. A large portion of the vehicle trips coming to the landfill originate from the Stockton area. A majority of these trips are made by small pickup trucks and independent contractors. A large portion of the waste stream at the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill comes from the Lodi area (61 percent by volume). The Lodi waste stream, however, is delivered in large waste transfer trucks that deliver waste from the transfer station and account for only 4.6 percent of the total trips per day to the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill.
