San Joaquin Street Leon Compton <br /> Stockton, Ca. 95201 CITY CLERK <br /> Lynette Van Laar <br /> Re: Old Dump Site <br /> Dear Steve, <br /> I talked with our City Manager this morning about the operation of the old <br /> dump site. In the past we had been storing yard clippings and tree trimmings (green <br /> waste) at the site. This was then processed by Gilton and taken to a cogen plant for <br /> burning. This last year we got behind in the process and the Ripon Fire Department <br /> requested that we take care of the perceived fire hazard as quickly as possible. The <br /> quickest way was to burn the clippings and trimmings. Therefore, we obtained a one time <br /> permit from the Air Quality Board for burning. <br /> Gilton is currently accepting green wastes for biomass incineration and is <br /> anticipating a permit from the State to operate a composting facility. With the composting <br /> facility they will have an additional process for the City's green waste material. They <br /> expect to begin operation within the next few months. With either process, we will <br /> continue to use the "old dump site" as a staging area. <br /> I apologize for giving you incorrect information the other day at the site. I <br /> was not awa.-re of bow the green waste was handled. Our Public Works Supervisor <br /> recently retired and he had handled the matter previously. If you have any further <br /> questions, please call me or our City Manager, Leon Compton at 599-2108. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> City of Ripon <br /> `3 -& <br /> Dale J. Ramey <br /> City Engineer <br />
