INFORNATION SHEET <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> NORTH COUNTY SANITARY LANDFILL <br /> CLASS III LANDFILL <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> The North County Sanitary Landfill is a new Class III landfill owned and <br /> operated by San Joaquin County. The landfill is intended to be a <br /> replacement for the Harney Lane Landfill , which will be closing. The <br /> North County Landfill will consist of eleven modules, constructed as <br /> needed, covering 212 of the 320 acre facility. Modules I and 2 will be <br /> constructed first, and will be the initial landfilling area. <br /> Clay liners and leachate collection and removal systems (LCRS) will be <br /> constructed in each of the modules. This will mitigate the possible <br /> migration of leachate to ground water. The possibility of increased <br /> sedimentation of South Paddy Creek will be mitigated by the construction <br /> of wide, shallow perimeter ditches in which vegetation will be <br /> encouraged. The ditches will reroute South Paddy Creek around the <br /> landfilling area. <br /> A public drop-off and recycling center will be operated on-site. No <br /> public vehicles will be allowed to discharge at the active face. <br /> Instead, they will unload at the public drop-off point so that the load <br /> can be checked for hazardous wastes. The loads will also be checked for <br /> any recyclable wastes at that time. <br /> JKT <br />
