Hewitt Road Linden, CA 95236 April 30, 2009 The closed landfill known as Peter's County Dump, currently operating as San Joaquin Rifle & Pistol Range, was inspected by San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) and found to be in Violation of Title 27 California Code of Regulations §20750- Post Closure Site Maintenance and §20650- Grading of Fill Surfaces. These conditions have been documented on annual Inspection Reports since 2002. At an EHD office hearing with Christine Zador on February 20, 2008, it was agreed that efforts to bring the site into compliance would be made. A Work Plan to correct status of violations was submitted by the facility, and was approved by EHD in March of 2008. The Work Plan set a deadline of September 2008 for the facility to be in compliance. The facility provided documentation of clean up efforts on a regular basis. When the facility requested a six month extension in September 2008, the request was granted by EHD, with a new deadline of March 2009. With the removal of a majority of surface debris, the facility again requested a six month extension in order to find an affordable way to obtain the dirt with which to cover surfacing waste, as well as grade and slope the site to prevent ponding. On April 24, 2009, a site visit was made by Jenni Frase, Senior REHS, to document progress toward compliance. It was noted that 5 or 6 dump trucks full of clean dirt were brought to the site by Aqua Pool & Spa. This dirt, as well as dirt from two existing dirt berms on site, was used to construct a new dirt berm south of the existing rifle range, rather than cover and grading as put forth in the original Work Plan to address the existing violation. Per the facility Operator, the new berm will replace existing pistol range which is currently north of the office building. The construction of the new berm is a change in the Postclosure Land Use.
