Boz 2009 •(1601 East Hazelton Ague) •Stockton,Califomia 95201 4ciFQa� <br /> (209)465-3400 <br /> June 30, 1993 <br /> City of Stockton <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Planning Division <br /> 6 E. Lindsay Street <br /> Stockton, CA 95202 <br /> RE: Draft EIR, Austin Road Sanitary Landfill Expansion Project <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division (EHD) has <br /> the following comments concerning the Draft E.I.R.: <br /> 1. The existing permitted landfill is 180 acres, not 187 acres as noted on page <br /> S.1. <br /> 2. EHD has not received any technical reports addressing the effects of burying <br /> solid wastes vertically on the existing landfill. Acceptance of this Draft E.I.R. <br /> does not mean approval from LEA for vertical waste expansion. <br /> 3. Infectious wastes are not currently being accepted at landfill. Define "special <br /> waste handling practices". Is it your intention to start accepting Infectious/ <br /> Medical Wastes? <br /> 4. Is there a need to expand days and hours of operation to meet operational <br /> demands? <br /> 5. If the expansion shows an increase in bird populations or litter, is there enough <br /> cover on-site to cover fill areas as soon as possible? If not, describe where off- <br /> site cover will be obtained from. <br /> 6. Define a "dust-suppressing chemical", what are their constituents, frequency <br /> of use, and exposure levels? <br /> 7. It is recommended that whenever hazardous or suspected hazardous wastes are <br /> discovered, that a hazardous waste storage locker with lock be available. This <br /> type of locker is commonly used at other landfills in the San Joaquin County. <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services C) <br />
