also verify that the landfill operator is applying daily cover <br /> and compacting the refuse sufficiently. The LEA and CIWMB <br /> inspections provide additional fire protection assurance. <br /> 5. 1.7 HAZARDOUS WASTES SCREENING PROGRAM <br /> A. Mitigation Measures: <br /> The landfill does not accept hazardous wastes. The City has <br /> implemented a load checking and hazardous waste screening <br /> program to ensure that hazardous wastes do not enter the <br /> landfill. If hazardous wastes are discovered, they are <br /> immediately removed from the site. <br /> B. Monitoring Plan: <br /> The landfill operator conducts random load-checks and <br /> completes inspection rdports that are submitted to the City. <br /> The City periodically reviews the landfill operator's load- <br /> checking procedures to ensure that the inspections are being <br /> conducted thoroughly. <br /> 5- 1.8 LANDFILL GAS <br /> A. Mitigation Measures: <br /> Landfill gas (LFG) is collected via a series of wells and <br /> pipes, and is directed to a Powerhouse where it is used as a <br /> fuel to produce electricity. This system acts to control <br /> off-site LFG Migration. <br /> B. Monitoring Plan: <br /> Pacific Energy (Pac. Eng. ) operates the LFG recovery system <br /> under a lease agreement with the City. Pacific Energy's <br /> operation must comply with permits issued by , San Joaquin <br /> County Air Pollution Control and California Regional Water <br /> Quality Control Board. These agencies monitor Pac. Eng. for <br /> compliance with permit conditions. <br /> 5. 1.9 GROUND-WATER MONITORING <br /> A. Mitigation measures: <br /> The Austin Road Sanitary Landfill has a RWQCB-approved <br /> groundwater monitoring program as required by California Code <br /> of Regulations, Title 23, Subchapter 15. Monitoring wells are <br /> sampled on a regular basis. Volatile organic compounds have <br /> been detected in groundwater beneath the landfill. A <br /> Verification Monitoring Program, approved by RWQCB, is <br /> currently underway. Once the source and extent of <br /> contamination is ascertained, a corrective-action plan will be <br /> submitted to the RWQCB for approval. <br /> B. Monitoring Plan: <br /> The City must adhere to the groundwater monitoring provisions <br /> included in the RWQCB Waste Discharge Requirements for the <br /> landfill (Monitoring and Reporting Program No. 90-122) . <br />
