0 <br /> SAN JOAQUIN FARM bUREAU fEdERATION <br /> MEETING TODAY'S PROBLEMS/PLANNING FOR TOMORROW <br /> July 17, 1978 <br /> San Joaquin Local Health District <br /> 1601 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, Ca 95205 <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> The San Joaquin Farm Bureau would like to express their <br /> opposition and concern to the proposed Solid Waste Facility <br /> Permit #30-AA-015 for the Forward Inc. , Landfill Site. <br /> Our major concern is with the type of waste allowed by the <br /> permit, such as -- limited hazardous wastes, septic tank pumpings, <br /> sewage sludge, and other wastes that could eventually reach the <br /> underground water stratas that are used for agricultural pumping <br /> and domestic wells, both rural and city. <br /> We are aware of the precautions that are outlined in the <br /> permit. We are also aware that in past years, rice was raised in <br /> that immediate area until it was found that the water used to <br /> flood the rice percolated into the underground at such a fast <br /> rate, that it was unfeasible to continue raising rice. This <br /> would indicate to us that there is a possibility of future under- <br /> ground water contamination. <br /> It is our feeling that the facility should also be in full <br /> compliance of all standards before a permit is issued. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> SANJOOAQUIN FARM BUREAU FEDERATION <br /> �M4 Ji. <br /> MIKE G. GIKAS, Chairman <br /> Zoning and Land Use Committee <br /> MGG/cm <br /> POST OFFICE BOX 8444 • 3960 CHEROKEE RD. 0 (209) 931-4931 • STOCKTON, CA 95208 <br />
