Environmental Health Division <br /> (EHD) monitored the project throughout the year performing monthly and periodic <br /> inspections. Problems with the project occurred during the year long trial period and <br /> cover violations were noted on monthly inspection reports. <br /> The Covertech material itself technically meets all requirements for acceptable daily <br /> cover. No vector, litter, or odor problems were observed during any inspections. <br /> Although EHD approves Covertech as daily cover there are concerns regarding it's use <br /> as daily cover at FCL. <br /> Covertech was punctured and ripped during the year and was not mended expediently <br /> to prevent exposure of green wastes. Back-up Covertech was not available when the <br /> current tarp was too deteriorated to use. Soil stockpile was not available on site at <br /> all times and weekend soil coverage of the green waste did not always take place. <br /> These problems were basically operational deficiencies, and were in direct contrast to <br /> FCL's Alternative Daily Cover Plan specifications for this project. <br /> There are several conditions which must be met before EHD can approve the year long <br /> FCL Alternative Daily Cover project using Covertech. Submit an amendment to the <br /> Report of Disposal Site Information (RDSI) detailing this ADC project. The amendment <br /> must address the ADC project's operational problems. The amendment will be <br /> reviewed to determine whether a new solid waste permit will be required at this time. <br /> Regardless of this decision, the CEQA issue must be addressed by the lead agency. <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
