9 <br />Several engineering studies have been performed at that site, <br />including a geotechnical study, Calderon Water Assessment Report, <br />Calderon Air Quality Assessment Report, a groundwater monitoring <br />plan, and installation of groundwater monitoring wells. All stu- <br />dies indicate that this landfill has not degraded the air or <br />groundwater quality even though this site has been in operation <br />for over 40 years, without the more stringent landfill regulations <br />and design features which are present today. This is due, in <br />part, because of the excellent geological location of that site. <br />A closure plan was prepared in 1985 which estimated that the land- <br />fill would reach its final capacity by the middle of the 1990 <br />year. Recent estimates still indicate a closure date of <br />mid-1990. It Ms necessary to develop an alternative disposal <br />site by the time the Harney Lane Landfill is closed. <br />The County's Solid Waste Management Plan, which is referenced by, <br />and has been found consistent with, the County General Plan, <br />cates that the Harney Lane Landfill should be replaced with <br />another landfill in the North County. <br />The EIR for the North County Landfill indicates that if a replace- <br />ment site is not developed, and the Foothill Landfill is used, use <br />of that site would cost the County approximately 50 mon <br />dollars over the next 36 years. <br />0 The County proposes development of the North County Landfill as <br />the Harney Lane replacement site. 0 <br />Mr. Horton showed slides and presented a model of the proposed land- <br />fill site. <br />He presented a written report, which was placed in the file fcJl� <br />GP -89-8. IN <br />Mri Baracco noted that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was pre- <br />pared on this project and was certified as adequate. <br />PUBLIC HEARING OPENED <br />OPPONENTS: Don Bricker, 14277 E. Tokay Colony Rd., Lodi, directly <br />south of the existing Harney Lane Landfill and northwest of the pro- <br />posed site, said he still had concerns about possible contamination of <br />groundwater. There had been a statement by the engineer for the land- <br />fill that if the liner sprung a leak that they would take allof the <br />sheetwater, filter it and pump it back down into the ground. He said <br />he did not think that was feasible, and he didn't think that could be <br />done. He addressed the cost of the project. He said it appeared to <br />be approximately 1.4 million dollars per year. From a cost stand- <br />point, this project did not appear to be feasible.
