North County RC&SL Page 44 of 64 Public Works/Solid Waste Joint Technical Document County of San Joaquin – Revised July 14, 2025 Best management practices are implemented at the landfill (see the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan in Appendix F). The landfill’s stormwater sampling plan conforms to their NPDES permit. Each year the County submits an Annual Storm Water Protection Report to the RWQCB. The temporary run-on and run–off controls for the fill area and excavation areas is accomplished by the design of the active tipping areas and the method of daily operation. Surface water in the fill area is directed away from the refuse. A berm is placed at the down gradient edge of the daily cell to collect surface water that might run off the exposed waste as a part of daily operations during times of surface water runoff. 6.8.6 Final Surface Drainage Final surface drainage provides for the delivery of rainwater to the wetlands area north of the landfill, to the west and to the south onto neighbors’ properties along historic drainage paths (Appendix B, Drawing 1). 6.8.7 Litter Control Litter is controlled by the use of both temporary and permanent litter fences placed near the fill area and along the perimeter of the fill as the fill progresses. Portable litter fences are placed downwind of the working face to catch blown litter. In addition, the waste is covered as quickly as possible to reduce windblown litter. County vehicles and heavy equipment are strategically placed to block litter blowing offsite. The fencing, operational area, and the site in general, are monitored daily for accumulated litter. Litter from vehicles traveling to the NCRC&SL on public roads is reduced by the County policy requiring that incoming refuse loads be covered by tarps or equivalent. Any vehicle arriving at the scale house without cover is charged twice the normal disposal fee. Litter is collected from Harney Lane and other nearby public roads regularly as needed by County employees, work program participants, and sheriff inmate crews. These crews collect on-site and off-site litter, as needed.
