PUBLIC HEALTH SERVI&'S <br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br />ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION <br />Ernest M. Fujimoto, M.D., M.P.H., Acting Health Officer <br />445 N. San Joaquin Street • P.O. Box 388 • Stockton, CA 95201-0388 <br />(209) 468-3420 <br />January 28, 1994 <br />Michael Niblock <br />City of Stockton Community Development Department <br />Planning Division <br />345 N. El Dorado Street <br />Stockton, CA 95202 <br />RE: Response to Draft EIR for Austin Road Landfill Expansion <br />San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division (EHD) has reviewed the <br />Draft EIR for the Austin Road Landfill. Below are our comments: <br />1. Provide technical reports and documents supporting the Draft EIR claim that no further <br />groundwater or environmental problems will occur due to the vertical expansion. The Draft <br />EIR proposes the vertical expansion of the existing landfill a minimum of 30 years after <br />closure. Acceptance of this Draft EIR does not mean approval from Local Enforcement <br />Agency (LEA) for vertical waste expansion. <br />2. Approximately how much cover material will be needed for the entire life of the landfill? <br />What percentage of this total can be supplied by on-site borrow areas? How much soil cover <br />will need to be imported, and where will the soil be imported from? How would the <br />provision of off-site soil for cover material be guaranteed? <br />3. How would a new storm drainage system be constructed to help alleviate erosion and ponding <br />over the landfilled units? <br />4. Will the landfill be considered a Class II or Class III? If Class II, what types of class II <br />wastes would be accepted? What special handling and approvals would be required for the <br />Class II wastes? <br />5. How would Class II wastes be evaluated so that hazardous wastes are not accepted? <br />6. The existing permitted landfill is 180 acres according to existing solid waste facility permit, <br />not 187 acres. <br />7. Is there a need to expand days and hours of operation to meet operational demands on <br />weekends? <br />A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
