Box 2009 <br />Stockton, CA 95201 <br />Re: Solid Waste Facility Inspection— Forward Landfill & <br />Forward, Stockton Scavenger, Commercial Salvage and <br />Independent Trucking Transfer Station <br />Dear Mr. Miller: <br />The Presley Legislation (SB 1346, 1982) authorizes the California <br />Waste Management Board to conduct inspections of solid waste <br />facilitiers to ensure compliance with the State Minimum Standards <br />for Solid Waste Handling and Disposal. The Board will be inventory- <br />ing about 20% of all California's solid waste facilities each year. <br />The State Inventory Program evaluates transfer stations as well as <br />open, closed, and illegal disposal sites. Facilities found to be <br />out of compliance after the first inspection will be allowed a 90 <br />day period for corrections to be made. If compliance is not <br />achieved at the end of 90 days, the name of the facility will be <br />subject to designation by the Board as a non -complying solid waste <br />facility. If such a designation is made, the facility will have up <br />to a year to achieve compliance or the operating permit will be <br />subject to revocation. After designation the LEA shall develop <br />and implement a compliance schedule to correct the noted <br />violations. In the case of closed facilities, the responsible <br />parties will be held to a stricter standard of civil liability in <br />the event the property owner is sued. <br />My staff will inspect the facilities referred to before June 30, <br />1985. Notification letters will not be sent by Board staff to <br />operators/owners of the facilities to announce the upcoming in- <br />spection. You may use your discretion, whether or not to formally <br />notify them. <br />We wish to stress that the California Waste Management Board wants <br />to conduct this program in close coordination with you and your <br />staff. Our assigned county -staff'person will arrange the date and <br />time of the evaluation so that you or your staff can accompany us <br />during the inspection. <br />If you have any questions, please contact your assigned staffperson. <br />Sincqrely,,--,, <br />John K. Bell, Mnager <br />Permits & Compliance Section <br />
