AdL <br /> WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS FOR -3- <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> NORTH COUNTY SANITARY LANDFILL <br /> CLASS III LANDFILL <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> 15. Surface drainage is to South Paddy Creek which crosses the site, and <br /> is an intermittent tributary to Bear Creek. South Paddy Creek will <br /> be rerouted around the east side of the site, then west across the <br /> site between the landfill and the screening berms, and finally <br /> reconnected to the natural channels (Attachment "B"). <br /> 16. The beneficial uses of these surface waters are domestic, municipal , <br /> agricultural , and industrial supply; ground water recharge; <br /> recreation; esthetic enjoyment; fresh water replenishment and <br /> habitat; spawning; wildlife habitat; and the preservation and <br /> enhancement of fish, wildlife and other aquatic resources. <br /> OPERATION OF FACILITIES <br /> 17. A public drop-off and recycling center will be located near the front <br /> of the facility. The landfill will be open to the public, but they <br /> will not be allowed past the public drop-off point. The recycling <br /> center will accept most recyclable materials, including household <br /> hazardous waste. <br /> 18. A hazardous waste exclusion program will be implemented at the <br /> facility. This program consists of checking all loads received at <br /> the on-site public drop-off and recycling center. No public vehicles <br /> will be allowed to unload at the active face. Loads will be unloaded <br /> at the public drop-off center and taken to the active face by <br /> facility vehicles. County, franchised, and commercial vehicles will <br /> go directly to the active face, where they will be visually inspected <br /> as they unload. <br /> 19. The Discharger's current plans indicate that the proposed Class III <br /> landfill will reach capacity, at the earliest, by the year 2027. The <br /> total capacity of this landfill is 17.3 million cubic yards. <br /> 20. The Discharger has installed two ground water monitoring wells (G-1 <br /> & G-2) and proposes to install a third (G-3). These wells will be <br /> used to monitor ground water with respect to the initial fill <br /> modules 1 and 2. More ground water monitoring wells will be <br /> installed as operations proceed to other modules. <br /> DESIGN OF WASTE MANAGEMENT UNITS <br /> 21. The Discharger's data demonstrate that natural geologic materials <br /> between the base of the Class III landfill and ground water will <br /> prevent the impairment of beneficial uses of ground water from the <br /> discharge of 'nonhazardous solid wastes' to the landfill . However, <br />
