Department of Public Works 345 N. El Dorado Street Stockton, CA 95202 CITY OF STOCKTON, AUSTIN ROAD LANDFILL, SAN JOAQUIN CO. (CASE NO. 2145) On 21 March 2000 Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board staff with the help of Mr. Butch Stefani, of Forward Inc. and Mr. Phil Nisperos of City of Stockton, conducted an inspection of the Austin Road Landfill. In the course of the inspection staff noted progress on repairs to erosion scars and leachate seeps in the north face of the landfill (Figures 1, 2, & 3). We commend the City of Stockton and their contractor Forward Inc. for making these repairs in a timely manner. During the inspection, board staff noted the following violations of the facility WDRs (Order No. 96- 175) and Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations: 1. Depressions in the surface of the landfill topdeck. Some of these depressions had ponded water at the time of the inspection (Figure 4). 2. Un-repaired leachate seeps on :he southwest and %\est sides of the landfill (Figure 5). 3. Un-repaired erosion channel exposing waste on southwest side of landfill (Figure 6). 4. Erosion in the bed of Littlejohn Creek undercutting the south perimeter road and encroaching on the landfill unit. The above items must be repaired to bring your facility into compliance with WDRs and Title 27. We understand that repairs to leachate seeps and the erosion channel on the west and southwest sides have begun. Repairs to the streambed of Littlejohns Creek will require permits from other agencies. We strongly recommend that low areas on the top deck be filled in as soon as possible. Water collecting in the low areas and percolating through the cover and waste is a major contributor to the leachate seeps that have developed on the landfill side slopes. Conditions at the landfill are currently suitable for construction but rain could resume at anv time. Infilling the obvious low areas in the top deck will be adequate for the rest of this season but the top deck must be re-graded to shed 7%'� W QAC!neXt wet season. ®RiClNAI.'�Q _SUBMrn�®BY....--- 2 7 2000 COPYTO COPYTO COPY TO California Environmental Protection Age�tcy r Recycled Paper
