filled will consist of street sweepings,plastic bags and other foreign materials removed from the <br /> grinding operation. <br /> 1.1 Functional Priorities Ranking <br /> A numerical ranking of the functional priorities of cover that is specific to the site being <br /> considered is given in the Board's document "Procedural Guidance for the Evaluation of <br /> Alternative Daily Covers." The functional priorities at Austin Road and French Camp Landfills <br /> are ranked in the same order as the Board document. The ranking is as follows: <br /> 1. Minimize vector breeding areas and animal attraction by controlling: <br /> a. Fly,mosquito, and other insect emergence and entrance. <br /> b. Rodent burrowing for food and harborage. <br /> C. Bird and animal attractiveness. <br /> 2. Control waste movement to: <br /> a. Minimize moisture infiltration. <br /> b. Minimize erosion. <br /> 3. Minimize fire hazard potential by: <br /> a. Controlling movement of atmospheric oxygen. <br /> b. Providing cell barrier walls. <br /> C. Being inflammable. <br /> 4. Site Aesthetics: <br /> a. Minimize blowing paper and litter. <br /> b. Control noxious odors. <br /> Section 1.2 CgmIjarison of Alternative Cover to Soil Cover <br /> A comparison of the properties of the alternative cover material with the corresponding <br /> properties of the soil, and the geotextile blanket,that has been used at the site for daily cover is <br /> shown in Table 1. At a minimum,the following should be evaluated: <br /> 1. Hazardous/pathogenic nature of the material. <br /> The material is not hazardous by nature. All loads of green materials received at French <br /> Camp Landfill will be hand sorted and foreign materials will be removed before the <br /> material is introduced into the grinding process. <br /> 2. Field permeability after application and compaction. <br /> Ground green material will not compact as well as soil. However,the shredded green <br /> material will be applied at a maximum one foot compacted thickness instead of the six <br /> inches of soil to control water infiltration. <br /> 3. Resistance to heat and fire after application and compaction. <br /> With proper handling, combustion can be prevented at the landfill site. Firebreaks will <br /> be used on every fourth row(4 x 4 plan)of daily cover. Additionally, the shredded <br /> green material will be utilized within 72 hours of processing as to allow the retention <br /> 4 <br />
