The tarps are removed from the surface of the working area at the beginning of each work day, and replaced at the end of the day. After delivery to the active face, refuse is spread in lifts approximately two feet thick in an area of approximately 100 feet x 90 feet, or other dimension appropriate for the tarp or other cover. The top slope of a local working area is controlled by the use of lasers. A rotating laser level, such as those used in construction grading, is placed to send the laser beam above the local finished grade of the refuse. The laser is oriented to provide a selected slope. Solid Waste engineering staff selects the elevation of the local lifts and direction of slope in coordination with final refuse fill and winter drainage needs. The equipment placing the refuse (usually the compactor) is provided with a laser receiver that alerts the equipment operator when the equipment is at the proper elevation. 0 North County RC&SL Page 39 of 69 Public Works/Solid Waste Joint Technical Document County of San Joaquin — February 10, 2010
