PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 1, 1989 7. GENERAL PLAN MAP AND TEXT AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. GP -89-8 AND USE PERMIT APPLICATION NO. UP -89-2 OF THE COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN (C/O DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS) for a General Plan Map and Text Amendment to recognize a proposed 320 -acre Class III Sanitary Landfill, and a Use Permit to operate the site as a Class III Sanitary Landfill. Located on the south side of Harney Lane, southwest of the intersec- tion of Harney Lane and Atkins Road, east of Lodi (Supervisorial District 4). Senior Planner Bruce Baracco introduced a staff report in regard to the General Plan portion of the project. He noted that the Public Works Department will address the operational aspects related to the Use Permit application. Gene Delucchi, Chief Deputy Director, Department of Public Works, introduced this portion of the hearing. He made the following com- ments: ® One of the Board of Supervisor's major concern is water: The groundwater supply, surface water supply and that the greatest asset in the County is our groundwater basin. The Department and the Board are very concerned with protection of the groundwater. In the EIR and in the public hearings, groundwater and surface water were mentioned quite often. Public Works commented to the Solid Waste staff, which is a division of Public Works, that the project preliminary design, which was approved by the State - meeting all State standards - did not include all of the facili- ties which we felt were necessary to fully protect the groundwater and we have insisted that the Solid Waste staff and the consultant incorporate in the project additional design features to more fully protect the groundwater and surface water. We insist on conditions that will lead to that. There are a number of con- ditions which are attached and we support those and encourage con- ditions to protect all aspects, but primarily, the water. The Solid Waste Division of Public Works has the responsibility for the development of this and we are insisting that they meet the requirements and go beyond the minimum standards in the design and operation of the site. Tom Horton, the Solid Waste Manager, will present the project and answer any specific questions on the pro- ject design. Tom Horton, Solid Waste Manager for San Joaquin County, made the following comments: C The existing Harney Lane Landfill is owned and operated by San Joaquin County. It has been operated as a landfill since the 1940s and it serves the area north of Eight Mile Road, including the City of Lodi. PC: 6/1/89 -1- MINUTES
