Mr. Mike Niblock January 7, 1993 Page 5 Noise Page S .4 of the DEIR states, "Up to seven staff members would operate the facility, which would be open from about 6 : 00 a.m. to 3 : 00 p.m. , Monday . through Friday. " The governing SWFP indicates that the hours of operation are : 6 : 00 a.m. to 3 : 00 p.m. , Monday through Friday; and 6 : 00 a.m. to 7 : 00 p.m. , Saturdays during the months of April and May. In addition, the SWFP states, "Occasionally the operator will work beyond these- hours to place daily cover and/or other maintenance activities . " Page III .H. 10 of the DEIR states, "Project operations would normally start at 6 : 00 a.m. and stop at 5 : 0.0 p.m. , five days a week, and would involve the use of heavy equipment, such as bulldozers, scrapers and compactors . " Will the hours of operation be extended to 5 : 00 p.m. ? Page III .H. 14 of the DEIR states, "Potential traffic due to soil imprtation or leachate truck trips would not increase significantly and therefore not cause a significant increase in noise levels . " How many additional daily vehicle trips are expected as a result of soil importation or leachate truck trips? What procedures will be implemented in the event noise complaints are received? Geology, Soils and Seismicity Page III .J. 6 of the DEIR states, "there is the possibility that an active fault, capable of generating at least a 5 . 0 magnitude earthquake is located in the vicinity. " Page III .J. 9 states, "creep or shallow slumping has occurred on the open area by the west edge of the existing landfill, which has exposed refuse at two locations . " Page III .J. 13 states, "Given the historical earthquake events that may have had local epicenters, it is possible that the selected design peak acceleration is not representative of the seismic hazard on the site . " Mitigation Measure J.4 states, "The project sponsor shall prepare an estimate of the maximum peak ground acceleration that would be expected from a small magnitude, but local quake (similar to the historic events that may have been centered near Linden) . If the potential maximum peak ground acceleration from the local event is greater than that assumed in preliminary design, the final project design analysis shall consider modifications needed to meet the factor of safety (determinations may be subject to the approval of the RWQCB) . " CIWMB staff request that the above mitigation measure require a slope or foundation stability
