3. The total acreage contained in the site is 800 acres. The lease allows for 640 acres to be picked out of the 800 acres for landfill purposes . In the first ten (10) years of operation approximately` 2, 816,925 cubic yards of material were received. Approximately 10 acres of the site have been used during the first ten years of operation. This yields 218, 693 cubic yards per acre. With 630 acres remaining in the site and using the volume based on 1976 operation of 643, 000 yards per year, we would have a remaining life of 214 . 27 years. It is anticipated however that the annual volume will increase and thus a more realistic remaining life figure would be 100 years. The general location of the existing disposal site is shown on the map attached hereto. The access to the site is from the north along Waverly Road. The paved portion of Waverly Road ends at the entrance to the "Foothill" site. The access to the site is by way of a left hand turn. The left hand turn does not present any problems with traffic in that the unpaved portion of Waverly Road to the south of the entrance to the dump site is very seldom used. The access road to the dump site is a gravelled road and provides all weather access . The present dumping site is situated approximately 2, 000 feet east of the county maintained Waverly Road. Control of unauthorized access is by way of fences and a gate across the entrance road to the site. The gate is locked after normal operating hours and the county franchised operators are provided keys to the gate to allow their access on a 24 hour basis. The estimated traffic volume to the site on a daily basis consists of approximately 22 trucks with trailers, approximately 25 householders, and a variable number of commercial haulers averaging perhaps 5 trips per day. The commercial haulers are generally in trucks , usually ten-wheelers. Householders arrive in various vehicles such as personal automobiles with trailers and pickup trucks. 4. See plot plan attached. 5. See the plot plan attached. 6. See the plot plan attached. 7. The sequence of use of the site will be first in phase I, then in Phase II, then in Phase III as shown on the plot plan attached. No more than 70 acres will be put to use for disposal at any given time. As the fill progresses, the acreage already filled will be restored so as to provide irrigated pasture or grazing. The use permit covering the dump site includes all of Section 12 and the North half of the North half of Section 13 of Township 2 North, Range 9 East Mount Diablo Base and Meridian, and therefore permit revisions or additional approvals would appear not to be required. The present drainage plan for the site is to maintain a drainage of the filled area to the east to a natural basin. The eventual and final plan would be to provide the irrigated pasture area with a slope of 1 to 2 tenths per 100 feet to the east to a natural drainage basin. -4-
