Austin Road Landfill <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> LEACHATE CONTROL: Leachate seeps were observed in several areas around the landfill. This <br /> concern was also noted in Board staff's February 19, 1998 inspection report. The City must implement <br /> measures to ensure that leachate is controlled to prevent contact with the public. <br /> DAILY COVER: The City needs to ensure that adequate cover is provided. Use of green material <br /> alternative daily cover(ADC)seems to work fairly well during inclement weather,however,placement of <br /> soil cover is sometimes a concern. Poor soil cover is evident along the north facing slope(e.g., little to no <br /> compaction of soil cover,daylighting of waste,and daylighting of green material ADC). <br /> The City will need to better prepare for future winter(rainy season)operations. As part of next years wet <br /> weather preparedness,all areas of intermediate cover should be well compacted and vegetation <br /> established to help minimize erosion. Better compaction of areas with long-term intermediate cover may <br /> also help reduce leachate seeps around the landfill. All weather access roads on and around the landfill <br /> would also help to ensure that deteriorated or defective conditions can be attended to promptly. <br /> Provide a written response,by April 27, 1998,which describes the measures implemented to correct <br /> and/or address each of the above concems.®If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, <br /> please contact me at(916)255-4063 or Jeff Hackett of my staff at(916)255-3822. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Cody Begley, Supervisor <br /> Tires and Enforcement Agency Section <br /> Permitting and Enforcement Division <br /> Attachment <br /> cc: Steve Rosenbaum, Central Valley RWQCB <br />
