The permit states that Austin Road Landfill meets the state <br /> minimum standards. Based on file records existing at the time the EHD was the LEA for the facility,the <br /> following concerns were identified: <br /> 1. A successful"winter plan"had not been developed. The site continually had waste that lacked either_ <br /> daily cover,or alternative daily cover(ADC),or exceeded the 21-day ADC limit for soil cover <br /> placement(17682& 17258.21). <br /> 2. The site had a poor history with litter both on site and off site,and continues to hav�blowing litter <br /> leaving the site and blowing across the county maintained Austin Road(17711) <br /> 3. Samples of leachate had not been taken as directed in the cities'regional wastV_%scharge requirements _ <br /> (17704). <br /> 4. The erosion issue had not been addressed. Replacing dirt on interediati9 <br /> mver when refuse was <br /> uncovered was considered"erosion control". This will not promote vegetative growth or other means of <br /> control to prevent further erosion occurrence(17708). <br /> 5. The extent of the ground water contamination plume had not been identified as directed by the Regional <br /> Water Quality Control Board. <br /> 6. The site regularly had problems with Little John Creek rising above its banks and inundating the toe of <br /> the landfill with water(17709). <br /> 7. The operator was unable to keep litter out of Little John Creek(17711). <br /> 8. Drinking water analyses from off-site private wells have confirmed groundwater contamination. <br /> These concerns do not appear to be in accordance with the state minimum standards. <br /> If you have any questions,please contact Steven Mindt,Sr. REHS,at(209)468-0343. <br /> Karen Furst,M.
