French Camp Landfill Pa e 2 of '2 V A C V = VIOLATION A = AREA OF CONCERN C = COMPLIANCE DRAINAGE/EROSION [] [] 17708 - Drainage and Erosion Control [] Adequate drainage provided [] Eroded areas promptly repaired STATE REGULATIONS TO IMPLEMENT SUBTITLE D [] [] 17258.23 - Gas Control [] - Within 60 days of detection of gas levels exceeding limits, remediation plan in operating record and CIWMB notified [] [] 17258.29 - Record Keeping Any location restriction demonstration required under Subpart B of 40 CFR Part 258 placed in operating record and CIWMB notified COMMENTS: Violation: PRC 44014(b)- This facility is permitted to accept 100 tons per day (tpd). Weight/volume records indicate that an average of 125 tpd were accepted during 1993. In addition, the acreage has increased from 66 to 72.0 acres, the hours of operation have increased, a scale has been installed, a portion of the landfill will be excluded from the permitted site, and other changes have been implemented as reflected in the proposed SWFP dated August 19, 1994. This section will remain in violation until a SWFP which addresses all changes in operation and design is concurred in by the Board and issued by the LEA. Violation: Section 17607 - No periodic site review (PSR) had been completed and forwarded to the LEA and Board since November 1988 at the time of the inspection. However, the Board received a PSR on September 29, 1994. This section requires that a periodic site review be filed with the LEA and Board at least once every five years. Area of Concern: Section 17710 - The northern and western portions of the landfill were poorly graded. Phil Giambastiani, Gambi Enterprises, Inc., indicated that a wet weather plan will be implemented by October 15 and these areas will be graded to a 3a slope by then. Area of Concern: Section 17709 - Waste is in contact with groundwater in the vicinity of MW -1, an upgradient well. VOCs have been detected in this well, although none have been detected in the three down -gradient monitoring wells. This standard requires that no solid waste is deposited in such a manner that it has direct contact with either surface or groundwater, except as approved by the California Regional Water Quality control Board. Robert Evans, Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, indicated that waste discharge requirements will soon be issued which require verification monitoring or corrective action to address water quality concerns related to the detection of VOCs in MW -1. Area of Concern: Section 17705 - See section 17258.23 comments. Area of Concern: Section 17708 - Erosion rills approximately one foot deep were observed on the northern portion of the site. This standard requires that erosion be promptly repaired - with steps taken to prevent further occurrence. Area of Concern: Section 17258.23 - Gas monitoring results from tests conducted at this site by the operator's consultant, on July 26, 1994, indicate that a methane concentration of 8.55 percent was detected in soil gas probe number 7 (SGPT). This probe is located in refuse, about 75 feet from the permitted boundary. Board staff recorded readings in SGP7 of approximately 500 ppm during the inspection. Additional monitoring should be undertaken to determine on-site methane concentrations. Violation: Section 17258.29 - The location restriction demonstrations required under this standard were not available during the inspection. However, the Board received a copy of the floodplain demonstration on September 26, 1994. Note: The CVRWQCB is the primary agency responsible for protecting the waters of the State from leachate impacts. However, the Board is responsible for several potential leachate impacts. In accordance with section 17704, the operator must take adequate steps to monitor, collect, treat, and effectively dispose of leachates. Leachate management practices should be implemented which -prevent contact of leachate with humans or wildlife, nuisances, or vector problems. Associate Waste Management Specialist 2
