San Joaquin County Project Description Fire control practices would continue under the proposed permit revision and would be expanded as necessary for the increased tonnage and incoming refuse vehicle trips proposed. Increasing the permitted landfill height would not directly affect fire control. Lighting Lighting at the landfill facility includes lighting fixtures mounted to the exterior of onsite buildings,as well as fixtures mounted on light poles around the buildings and at the entrance to the landfill facility. Because the SWFP does not include nighttime filling operations,portable lights are not present at this time. The proposed increase in daily disposal tonnage, incoming refuse vehicle trips, or landfill height would not affect the need for lighting. If disposal operations occur in r=arljUn in the winter, when natural light is reduced, vehicle lights 5 would be used, and supplemental lighting would be supplied as needed. eire Reviewand /Approvals The project is likely to require,or may require,review and/or approvals from the following agencies. ■ San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(Local Enforcement Agency)(LEA)—The LEA issues the SWFP and will review the proposed project and issue the revised SWFP to incorporate the revised permit conditions. In addition,the County will amend the Joint Technical Document(JTD)to reflect these changes. ■ California Integrated Waste Management Board(CIWMB) --The CIWMB,in coordination with the LEA, authorizes the construction, operation, and closure of landfills and solid waste facilities in the State of California. Currently,the landfill operates under SWFP No. 39-AA-0022. The SWFP will be amended to provide for the increase in the landfill elevation. In addition,the County will amend the Preliminary Closure/Postclosure Maintenance Plan (Closure Plan)to reflect the revised closure contours. ® Central Valley Water Board—The Central Valley Water Board regulates waste discharge related to water quality from construction and operation of the landfill. Currently,the landfill operates under Waste Discharge Order No.R5- 2002-2019. Concurrence with the proposed height increase will require that the County submit verification that slopes will be stable with the increased landfill height. Preliminary evaluations indicate that the proposed slopes will be stable. The County will also demonstrate to the Central Valley Water Board that the environmental features(e.g.,leachate collection,LFG control)in the existing modules will not be compromised by the increase in height,and that future Notice of Preparation for the June 2006 North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill 1-10 ass osso�.os Permit Revision
