Californ0ift a !ip�. removal ry rtemr July 12 , 1994 Mr. Ed Padilla Environmental Health Division Public Health Services San Joaquin County P.O. Box 388 Stockton, California 95201-0388 Dear Ed, I am writing this letter is response to your correspondence of June 22 , 1994 . In your letter you have pointed out some areas in which our compliance efforts are incomplete based on the current green waste regulations. In our telephone conversation yesterday, you were able to further clarify some of these items. We are very committed to meeting or exceeding all of the regulatory criteria which is set forth. To accomplish this, we have contracted with Integrated Recycling Inc. of Sacramento to develop and implement a compliance and quality control program which not only meets the current regulations but is postured towards compliance with the new regulations. To date we have already submitted to a laboratory new compost samples for the purpose of determining metal concentrations and upgraded our practice of daily temperature readings per option 1 of section 17887 to meet the pathogen reduction standards. As I mentioned on the telephone yesterday the City of Lodi has been in the practice of sampling our surface runoff several times per year for the purpose of monitoring the water content for pH and other testing criteria. As you suggested, we will investigate both whether the City's lab is state approved and whether the battery of tests they are currently doing satisfy the criteria of EPA method 8140. We also intend to complete the pathogen reduction certification using CIWMB form 5000 and submit it as soon as the laboratory results are returned. 1333 E.TURNER ROAD P.O.
