0 <br /> MEMORANDUM UN <br /> IV 0 V <br /> 8 1973 <br /> TO: James A. Robertson SAN <br /> FROM: Steven C. Macaulay A►(TH 1, LOCAL <br /> SUBJECT: Inspection - Tracy Sanitary Landfill /�,r ' -r <br /> On 16 October 1973, I visited the Tracy Sanitary Landfill on Corral <br /> Hollow Road to make a routine inspection of operating procedures at <br /> this site. I contacted Operator Roy Welch. <br /> This site has undergone major upgrading in operation procedures <br /> since the end of last winter. A new earth mover has been acquired, <br /> and a refuse compactor has been ordered. All wastes not on the <br /> active face of the fill were covered adequately with soil. Mr. <br /> Welch discussed the present and immediate future plans for site <br /> operation, which call for eventual utilization of a comprehensive <br /> cut-and-fill program. <br /> Cannery wastes being accepted. at this site frequently have a high <br /> moisture content. These wastes are presently allowed to dry for <br /> several days, and are worked in gradually with the rest of the <br /> fill. <br /> At the time of my inspection various wastes were being r'ceived from <br /> the Tracy Defense Supply Depot. Most of the wastes were Canned <br /> vegetables having expired shelf lives. However, there were approx- <br /> imately 50 cases of isoproterenol hydrochloride, an aerosol pre- <br /> scription drug. Although the nature and volume of this material <br /> is such that it should not be a significant threat to water <br /> quality, the City of Tracy should be aware of any potentially haz- <br /> ardous drugs or material that may be deposited in the landfill. <br /> My inspection indicates that the Tracy Sanitary Landfill is being <br /> operated in an adequate manner to receive and dispose of Group 2 <br /> and Group 3 waste materials. <br /> 11/7/73 scm/ca <br /> cc: Bob Schneider <br /> Director of Public Works <br /> City of Tracy <br /> .
