uses include site construction and waste disposal operations, RRF operations, composting operations, dust control, equipment maintenance operations, sanitary facilities, fire fighting, and emergency situations. Bottled water is provided for drinking. Sanitary Facilities. There is no on site sewage disposal system or leach lines. The sani- tary facilities consists of a total of seven portable toilets at the site. Two portable toilets are located adjacent to the landfill office trailer, two are located at the RRF, one is in the maintenance yard at the landfill, one is located near the eastern ash disposal pit, and one is located on the bin storage pad at the landfill. The two portable toilets adjacent to the landfill office are handicap-accessible. The locations will change with site development. Electricity. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) provides primary electric service to the site. Electric power is provided to the office trailers (except the employee trailer at the RRF) and on site pumping facilities. Communications. Pacific Bell provides telephone service to the site. Company offices and some vehicles used for site operations are equipped with phones. Right-of-Way. The eastern property line is also the Austin Road centerline; the Austin Road right-of-way, owned by the County of San Joaquin, is 60 feet wide. Thirty feet of this right-of-way is within the Forward property. Easement. The South Fork easement is shown in Figure 1.2. Water Wells. There are two water wells at the site. A 1,000-gpm well at the landfill entrance facilities and a 20-gpm well at the RRF entrance facilities. Offsite. Structures within 1,000 feet of the site boundaries are shown in Figure 1.1. Two residences are 100 and 500 feet from the northeastern comer of the Forward property. A third residence is 900 feet east of the Forward property along the southern bank of the South Fork. These residences, however, are located more than 300 feet from the proposed composting facility. As shown in Figure 1.5 the current land use for the area g � ea surrounding the site is primarily agricultural. The City of Stockton operates a 150-acre municipal solid waste landfill ap- proximately 1,000 feet north of the Forward site. The State of California operates the Northern California Youth Center and a women's prison, about one mile north of the For- ward site (Figure 1.1). Since ce the land surrounding the Compost Facility is primarily agricultural and the closest residences are set back more than 300 feet, there should not be any significant odor impacts to the surrounding areas. Based on logs of wells in the project area, groundwater generally occurs about 60 to 70 feet below the natural ground surface. Groundwater levels fluctuate about 5 feet per year due to the distinct wet and dry seasons of the San Joaquin Valley. sea10029863.wp5/5 9/28/94 5
