State of California Memorandum To File THE RESOURCES AGENCY William E. Collord From : STATE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD Subject: FIELD INSPECTION OF AUSTIN ROAD LANDFILL SITE, 39 -AA -001 M On March 6, 1979, 1 revisited this site as a 30 day follow-up inspection (refer to my February 26, 1979, memo to files) that Bob Hurd from the San Joaquin County Health District (LEA), and I made on February 6, 1979. My finding and comments are as follows: I met with Mr. Phil Giambastiani, landfill contractor for the City of Stockton and he showed me what they had been doing to comply with Mr. Hurd's directive to properly cover the wastes? pick up the litter, rebuild the grease trap evaporating pond �4 embankment, and recontour the top of the comple�ed fill cover for drainage. As I looked over the site, I could see they are complying with -Mr. Hurd's corrective punch list. They start applying daily cover at 3 p.m.; cover material is currently being brought in from the offsite barrow area. Mr. Giambastiani was hoping to have completed all the corrective work by now, but the weather conditons had prevented them from hauling in enM ugh fill cover because the barrow area itself was too wet for excavation work. Barring adverse weather conditions, the site should be completely back in order by February 16, 1979. Approximately 70 percent of the litter had been pickup from what I observed during my last visit. Mr. Bowen, the tractor operator, who I met at my last visit, is no longer working there. I notice that the tractor operators were not wearing face dust masks or hard hats. Mr. Giambastiani told me they are available in the site trailer, but the men do not want to wear them. In the permit provision, it states that the operator must provide air masks and safety helmets, but it does not state that the men must wear this equipment. Code section 17-670 gives the LEA the power to determine if wearing safety equipment is necessary. Photographs were taken. 0
