i ";cost of the material handled will be cardboard and pallets . Pallets will. be stockpiled outside in yard . Pieces of wood and scram iron will be separated into their respective 40-yd . containers outside . A balm. machine will bale cardboard and tin cans for storage either in shad or in yard. As each 80-yd. load of recyclable material is made up it will be hauled off to markets in the valley or overseas , Of the maximum yardage of waste packaging hauled into the facility daily, there is the following estimated break- down: 400 yds . hauled in reduces to about 40 yds . segra- gated and baled material and 10 yds . unusable material for the landfill . Landfill : a sanitary landfill is , b-y definition , an method of disposing of solid waste on land by engineered spreading the waste in relatively thin layers , compacting it to the smallest practical volume and covering it with soil at the end of each working day . Further, there is no burning of solid caste at a sanitary landfill . The landfill is gen- erally located in such a manner that any water run-off will collect and be retained in a reservoir. The day-to-day operation of a landfill depends on the type of terrain in which the landfill is located . The landfill proposed by the F.W. Cattle Co. will l)e pit type operation and is de- signed to be a Class II-1 facility (see appendix) . The nit is started by excavating a portion large enough to effic- iently operate the equip,nent . . . .approximately 80 feet by 150 feet , and 10 to 12 feet deep . The excavated soil is stockpiled for use later. The waste is dumped into the pit and compacted by a piece of heavy equipment , generally a bulldozer. Soil is then excavated from the opposite end of the pit and that soil is placed over the compacted waste . This method enables the pit to be enlarged as it is being filled. Under normal circumstances the waste is covered at the end of each w orhinn daV. The soil cover prevents rodents , insects and birds from being attracted to the waste . Eventually the area will reach its capacity. At that time all stockpiled soil is spread evenly over the area of the pit to match the surrounding area as much as possible and planted with sufficient ground cover and shrubs to prevent erosion. Generally, public landfills consist of primarily house- hold waste products which include both organic and inorganic material. The proposed project by F.W. Cattle Co. will be somewhat different in that there will be no household gar- bage and a minimum of wet wastes . F.W. Cattle Co. provides a complete solid waste disposal service to some of the can- neries in the Sun Joaquin valley and to a number of other industries ( see appendix) . The service consists of the col- lection, by a salvage company, of all wet and dry wastes generated by the industries. Most of the wet wastes , processed - ! 3 -
