Snyder Sanitary Dump Site(SSDS)
<br /> Based on information from the Site Identification form provided by the LEA, dated May 5,
<br /> 1993,the SSDS is a closed 60-acre disposal site that was located on a former gravel pit
<br /> mining operation. The dump site was bounded by private property on the north, Henry Road
<br /> on the east, private property on the south, and on the west by the AT and SF railroad,
<br /> currently the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad). The disposal site was
<br /> "subsequently bisected by Santa Fe Road.
<br /> Per a report from the State of California Department of Public Health Bureau of Vector
<br /> Control, dated November 21, 1956, the disposal site accepted mixed refuse and rubbish,
<br /> cannery waste, and apricot and =ere
<br /> . The pits were dried, recovered, and remove
<br /> from site, alt ou some quantitiesincluded in with disposed waste and were covered.
<br /> Salvaging of rags,bottles,metals, etc. took place as part of the waste disposal operation.
<br /> Quantities of waste handled per day were two loads of mixed refuse, two loads of cannery
<br /> waste, and three loads of pits. Reportedly, at the time the report was issued, the depth of fill
<br /> was two feet below surface grade(bgs).
<br /> The actual footprint of the waste disposal area(s) is not known,however, it is assumed that
<br /> the former gravel pits were likely filled with wastes to near surface grade. Other surrounding
<br /> low-lying areas within the disposal site may also have been filled with wastes. The SSDS
<br /> reportedly was closed in 1960,per Mr. Robert McClellon, County of San Joaquin, Public
<br /> Health Services, Environmental Health Division(EHD), LEA, and subsequently subdivided
<br /> into parcels and sold. The length of time that waste disposal operations occurred is not
<br /> known, although it is suspected that the gravel pits began to be filled with wastes shortly
<br /> after gravel mining ceased (1940) and ended before the property was subdivided(1960).
<br /> Bill Lane IDS
<br /> The Bill Lane IDS is a 10-acre property that is generally square in shape. The site is
<br /> bounded to the north by the Lynch IDS,to the east by Santa Fe Road, private developed
<br /> property on the south, and the BNSF railroad on the west. Per LEA inspection reports,the
<br /> property was observed to be poorly graded with inadegu inage control. Based on
<br /> review of LEA inspection reports,wastes were observed at the site and included 1 old
<br /> reg_ fuse tires,roofing shinales 1 n c apg debri concrete several old trucks, car parts,
<br /> appliances, and farm equi m t. As observed on May 1, 2001 during a site visit by the LEA
<br /> and CIWMB staff, along the western property boundary, several mounds were observed that
<br /> had been excavated by trenching. Evidence of construction and demolition wastes was
<br /> observed in the trenches that traversed these mounds. Yard waste was observed near the
<br /> center of the property. The property is owned by Jon W. Beard, P.O. Box 739, Empire, CA
<br /> 95319.
<br /> Lynch IDS
<br /> The Lynch IDS is a 16.08-acre parcel,triangular in shape, with the apex at the northern
<br /> point. The site is bounded by Santa Fe Road on the east,by the Bill Lane IDS on the south,
<br /> and by the BNSF railroad on the west. Per LEA inspection reports, the property is poorly
<br /> graded with inadequate drainage control. The inspection reports indicated trenches were
<br /> excavated parallel to the eastern and southern property boundaries and across the northern
<br /> apex of the site. Reportedly these trenches were to prevent access to the property. A review
<br /> of LEA records identified wastes,observed on the Lynch IDS to be similar to wastes
<br /> observed at the adjacent Bill Lane IDS. Based on LEA records, observed wastes included 6
