Number: 0 ! 39—AA-0022 12. Legal Description of Facility: The legal description of this facility is contained in pages 3-5 of Joint Technical Document dated February 10, 2010. 13. Findings: a. The North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill (NCRC&SL) 17720 E. Harney Lane, Lodi is owned by the County of San Joaquin, operated by the Department of Public Works. b. NCRC&SL is a Class III Landfill. NCRC&SL is located at 38° 06' latitude, 121° 04 longitude in the eastern half of section 21, T3N R8E Linden, California, U.S. Geological Survey topographical quadrangle. The facility is 320 acre site of which 185 acres will be utilized for landfilling. c. The facility has a gate house and truck weigh scale. An office and maintenance building with sanitary facilities, parking for landfill personnel and visitors is included in the entrance area. It also has a covered recycling center with a tipping area. A permanent berm, set back 100 feet from the property line, has been constructed around the landfill perimeter. d. TYPES OF WASTES RECEIVED 1. Residential Refuse 2. Commercial/Industrial Waste 3. Green waste/Garden Refuse 4. Wood Waste 5. Metals 6. Paper Products 7. Glass 8. Tires 9. Plastic 10. Agricultural Wastes 11. Construction/Demolition 12. Household Hazardous Waste 13. Dead Animals 14. Inert 15. Treated Wood Waste e. The dais peak tonnage is 1200 tons per day. This tonnage figure is based upon an annual increase of 3%. The estimate amount of annual waste received is projected to be 143,000 tons. Average refuse density of approximately 1000 pounds per CY (1000 lb refuse disposed per CY airspace consumed by refuse, daily and intermediate cover). C The landfill is constructed by the ramp -area method. The site is divided into modules to facilitate efficient excavation, access, and drainage. Landfill operations generally proceed in numerical order by module. Excavation currently proceeds one module ahead of refuse fill. There are a total of 11 proposed modules. Refuse fill is placed in lifts 6 to 10 feet thick, with perimeter slopes vertical to horizontal ratio 3:1 or less. Refuse is spread and compacted in layers 2 feet thick on a sloped working face. Large or bulky wastes are 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 is 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 run-off water away from the active working face. g. Vehicles that contain recyclable waste will proceed to the Recycling Center Building. Both public and commercial wastes are dumped onto a common tipping floor where waste material is manually or mechanically sorted out. Recyclable materials are separated, consolidate, and placed in bins. When the bins are full, they are transported to market. The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) recycling program utilizes an area within the Recycling Center Building to collect four specific wastes: Used motor oil, used anti -freeze, used batteries, and paint. These recyclable HHW are dropped off in the public tipping area and placed in appropriate receptacles. Workers will bulk the used oil and anti -freeze into a double walled, above ground collection tanks for periodic collection. Used batteries are collected on pallets with spillage containment trays. A local battery company picks up the batteries on a regular basis. Periodically, collected paint is 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 Calrecycle.
