SPAT OF CALIFORNIA GEORGE DEUKMEJIAN,Governor <br /> y CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATIN QUALITY CONTROL BOARD-- <br /> CENTRAL VALLEY REGION + <br /> 3443 ROUTIER ROAD = `' <br /> SACRAMENTO,CA 95827-3098 <br /> 8 February 1988 <br /> o � <br /> Mr. Harry Montgomery <br /> Department of Public Works - <br /> City of Stockton <br /> 250€1 Navy Drive <br /> Stockton, CA 95206 <br /> INSPECTION OF AUSTIN ROAD i AAPIDFILL, SAN °JOAQUIN CO()NTY (CASE NO. 2148) <br /> During an inspection of Austin Road Landfill, on 17 August 1987, I discovered <br /> several instances where cannery waste was disposed either on the landfill - cap-or <br /> in a series of trenches in a eas ern por on of the site. This discharge is <br /> in violation of waste discharge requirements (WDRs) for the landfill. Discharge <br /> Specification A.8 states that "Liquids of high moisture content waste (greater <br /> than 50%) shall not be discharged a_t this site". Cannery waste generally <br /> contains greater than 50% liquids. Placing such waste on the final cap serves <br /> only to increase the moisture content of the waste in the landfill, which is to <br /> be avoided. Cannery waste cannot be taken at Austin Road Landfill under the <br /> current WDRs. <br /> Cannery waste can be taken at landfills if the waste is dried so that the <br /> moisture content is less than 50% before disposal in the Class III landfill . I <br /> understand that the City is working on a new Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) for <br /> the landfill . If the City wants to take cannery waste at the landfill , the RWD <br /> should contain a description of how and where the waste will be treated before <br /> discharge. Recently adopted WDRs for another landfill in San Joaquin County <br /> contain language allowing drying of cannery waste before disposal in their Class <br /> III landfill . <br /> If you have any questions, -".ease contact rte at (916) 361.-5737. <br /> Pr <br /> k u <br /> TIMOTHY A.
