suggested by Mr. Scott Walker of the California Integrated Waste Management Board in his April 11, 1996 letter. Soil cover will be the third option in providing daily cover. Since the tarp will become the primary backup for providing daily cover, the need for verbal notification as is contained in the original ADC proposal is not necessary. Tarps will not be used at the French Camp Landfill. (3) The next item that needs to be clarified is the amount of waste that is allowed in the ground green material. The City of Stockton requires its citizens to bag their lawn clippings to facilitate collection. Because of this, a large quantity of plastic and paper bags are included in the waste stream coming into the French Camp Landfill. Efforts to separate the bags from the green material before grinding have not and will not be 100% effective. Therefore, a certain amount of ground plastic and paper bags will be present in the ground green waste. The City of Stockton would like to modify the original green waste grinding program to recognize this fact and to allow for approixmately 5% by volume of plastic and paper. The City and its contractor will continue experimenting in order to find the optimum method of removing the paper and plastic from the waste stream. (4) The last issue that needs to be discussed concerns communication. The City of Stockton is the owner and operator of both the Austin Road and French Camp Landfills, therefore, discussions concerning landfill issues should include a City of Stockton representative. In the past, discussion have occurred with the City's contractor without City personnel being present which has complicated communication and required the City to rely heavily on inspection reports. In order to promote better communication between the Enforcement Agency and the City, it is requested that Phil Nisperos (937-8830) or Bob Murdoch (937-8829) be included in all discussions. Mr Nisperos will be the primary contact person with Mr. Murdoch available as a backup. The City will make arrangements to have the appropriate contractor personnel available. This will insure that the City of Stockton is fully aware of the Enforcement Agency's concerns. In addition, as has been noted in the past, the City and its contractor hold weekly operations meetings on Tuesdays at 10:00 am at the Austin Road Landfill and the Enforcement Agency's inspectors are always invited to attend. It is hoped that the proposed changes to the green waste grinding demonstration project will be approved. If you have any question, please contact Bob Murdoch at 937-8829. l' STE HEN CHEN cc: Scott Walker, CIWMB Mary Coyle, CIWMB Phil Giambastiani, Gambi Enterprises
