LEA Advisory 20 Attachment - Inspection Guidance for SW Landfills Page 24 of 52 non-hazardous wastes. With the incorporation of section 17258.21, which provides more restrictive cover requirements for MSW, section 17682 now applies only to non-MSW solid waste landfills as defined by PRC Sections 40191 and 40195.1. For non-household waste or waste that is not municipal waste (including non- household construction/demolition, tires, non-hazardous industrial, and restaurant wastes), the cover frequency depends on daily tonnage as noted above. Tree stumps and large brush are exempted from the above cover requirements. Smaller tree trimmings, wood waste, grass, or leaves are not exempt and must be covered. A rule of thumb for estimating whether brush should be considered large or small is that large brush is not easily compacted and interferes with operation of heavy equipment. The inspector should look for waste which is exposed or protruding through cover (daylighting). A violation should be noted for excessive daylighting. The use of any material other than soil as an alternative cover may be approved by the Board on a case-by-case basis. Prior to obtaining permission to use an alternative cover material, the operator must make a formal request to the Board. The Alternative Cover Policy is included in LEA Advisories# 10 and 19.(superseded by Advisory #48). Questions regarding implementation of the Alternative Cover Policy should be directed to the Board's Closure and Remediation Branch. 17683 Performance Standards The text of this standard is not included as it only applies if a disposal site is using a cover material other than soil for the purpose of demonstrating its appropriateness as an alternative daily cover (ADC). Sites are evaluated by the LEA weekly or in accordance with a Board approved ADC project. See LEA Advisory#10(superseded by Advisory #48)for the ADC policy. 17684 Intermediate Cover At the end of each day of operation of sites receiving Group 2 wastes in all but the final lift, a compacted layer of at least 12 inches of cover shall be placed on all surfaces of the fill where no additional refuse will be deposited within 180 days. The 12 inch thickness may be reduced as approved by the Enforcement Agency. Group 2 is an obsolete term for non-hazardous wastes. As with daily cover, the inspector should look for areas of exposed or protruding waste (daylighting). S alvaging/Processing 17686 Scavenging Scavenging shall be prohibited at any disposal site. Salvaging is distinguished from scavenging in that salvaging is a permitted activity and carried out by representatives of the facility. Salvaging operations should be described in the RDSI. 17687 Salvaging Permitted http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/pe/advisory/20/attach2O/20attch l.htm 8/11/98
