-- APR 2 3 1993 �:i'�v I Rr)f�ivi i=rj fAl, H F t^.�rt~ PERMIT/SERVICES based upon an annual increase of 3%. The estimated amount of annual waste received is projected to be 135,568 tons. The conversion factor from tons to gate cubic yards is .175 tons per cubic yard. F. The landfill will be constructed by the ramp-area method. The site will be divided into modules to facilitate efficient excavation, access, and drainage. Landfill operations will proceed in numerical order by module. Excavation will proceed one module ahead of refuse.fill. There are a total of 11 modules. Refuse fill will be placed in lifts 6 to 10 feet thick, with perimeter slopes vertical to horizontal ratio of 3:1 or less. Refuse will be spread and compacted in layers 2 feet thick on a sloped working face. Large or bulky wastes will be separated to prevent bridging of the surrounding refuse, placed in the lower portion of the advancing lift, and crushed by compacting equipment. An.all weather road will be constructed from the access road across the surface at the existing refuse fill to the active working face. Temporary berms will be constructed where needed to intercept and divert surface runoff water away from the active working face. G. Vehicles that contain recyclable waste will proceed to the Recyling Center Building. Both public and commercial waste are dumped onto a common tipping floor where waste material is manually or mechanically sorted out. Recyclable materials are separated, consolidated, and placed. in bins. When the bins are full, they are transported to market. The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) recycling program will utilize an area within the Recycling Center Building to collect four specific wastes: used motor oil, used antifreeze, used batteries-, and paint. These recyclable HHW will be dropped off in the public tipping area and placed in appropriate receptables. Workers will bulk the used oils and antifreeze into doubie-walled, above-ground collection tanks for periodic collection. Used batteries will be collected on pallets with spillage containment trays. A local battery company will pickup the batteries on a regular basis. Periodically, collected paint will be bulked into 55- gallon drums and then be transported to a paint manufacturer. Household Hazardous Wastes shall be handled in a manner approved by the LEA and the CIWMB. H. The waste load checking program should consist of the following activities: Inspection of random in-coming loads; regularvisual inspection of the wastes deposited at the at the facility; training of facility personnel in hazardous waste recognition and proper hazardous waste handling procedures; reporting incidents of unlawful disposal to specific agencies.
