II. Project Description <br /> The Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)has issued preliminary rules regarding landfill gas <br /> control. Facilities with more than 111,000 tons of waste in place and/or emitting more than 150 <br /> megagrams per year of non-methane organic carbon must collect and treat the landfill gas. <br /> Landfills receiving more than 167 tons per year meet the second condition described by the EPA <br /> (R.W. Beck and Associates, 1992). [Beck: Is this right? 167 tons per year?] <br /> The project's landfill gas control system,in addition to the existing power plant,would include a <br /> series of gas extraction wells and connectors,a gas condensate collection system, and a gas <br /> blower/flare. The blower/flare would be located adjacent to the PEn power plant. Condensate <br /> sumps would be used to convey condensate to the leachate pretreatment system. Alternatively, <br /> PEn could expand its contract with PG&E to generate more electricity,therefore collecting more <br /> landfill gas. The actual design of the specific components would be completed with the design <br /> drawings for construction. <br /> Ancillary Facilities <br /> The entrance to the Austin Road Landfill would remain at the northeast corner of the site. <br /> The temporary hazardous materials storage area would be located in the southeastern comer of <br /> the CYA parcel,north of the landfill access road. The scale facility would be located <br /> immediately west of the temporary hazardous materials storage area. An attendant at the scale <br /> house would monitor all incoming and outgoing vehicular traffic. The future composting and <br /> recycling facilities would be located north of these two facilities. The leachate facility would be <br /> in the southwest corner of the CYA parcel,north of the existing landfill gas generation facility. <br /> The landfill surface water detention facility would be in the southwest corner of the site. <br /> Site Security <br /> The landfill would have a perimeter barrier or topographic constraints designed to discourage <br /> unauthorized entry by persons or vehicles. Areas within the site where hazardous or suspected <br /> hazardous materials are stored would be fenced andro erl identified. The entrance to the site <br /> P P Y <br /> would have a lockable gate,and would be locked outside of the usual operating hours. Salvaging <br /> and scavenging are prohibited at the landfill,except for the salvaging of white goods at the active <br /> face by landfill personnel in accordance with the requirements of the City's Source Reduction and <br /> Recycling Element(ERRE). <br /> I1.17 <br />
