El Dorado Street <br /> Stockton,CA 95202 <br /> SUBJECT: Status of the Austin Road Landfill, Facility No. 39-AA-0001 <br /> Dear Mr. Giottonini: <br /> California Integrated Waste Management Board (Board) staff are writing this letter to inquire <br /> about future operations at the Austin Road Landfill. It is Board staff s understanding that the <br /> City's contract with Central Valley Waste (CVW) was not renewed and the last day of landfill <br /> operations by CVW is October 31, 1999. Board staff have not been informed of the City's <br /> intentions to either hire a new contract operator to conduct daily landfill operations or temporary <br /> close the landfill. <br /> Board staff are aware that the City is in negotiations for Allied Waste to purchase the landfill, <br /> however, completion of this transaction is not expected for several more months. Since a new <br /> cotrtract operator is not already in line to take over landfill operations after October 31, 1999, it <br /> appears that the City will have to temporarily close the Austin Road Landfill and have the waste <br /> diverted to another permitted landfill. The temporary closure would occur until the City hires a <br /> new contractor or the property transaction with Allied Waste is complete. <br /> Based on Board staffs October 21, 1999 inspection(attached), work is still needed to complete <br /> preparations of the landfill for the rainy season. In addition, Regional Water Quality Control <br /> Board staff have expressed concern with regard to the drainage control (in particular the southern <br /> perimeter drainage channel), grading (ponding), and cover conditions (as long-term intermediate <br /> cover) at the landfill. It does not seem realistic that CVW can keep up with day to day <br /> operations and complete preparation of the landfill for the rainy season based on the resources <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> '` Printed on Recycled Paper <br />
