working face of the landfill, shredded green material, compacted to 12 inches, will be used as cover. The use of the Covertech C440 will not be permitted at the French Camp Landfill. At the end of each week, a 6 inch soil cover will be placed on the working face. Since the land filled materials will be a mixture of street sweepings,plastic and green waste, and at the end of each week soil will cover the working face,the potential for combustibility with a shredded green material cover will be reduced. Additionally,the ground green material will be utilized within 72 hours of processing so as to allow the retention of moisture to reduce the fire potential. During the pilot study, the process will begin with receiving green materials at French Camp Landfill as is the current process. Vehicles crossing the scales will be subject to random load checks as is currently done. Daily records will be kept at City Hall, detailing the volume, in tons, of materials being land filled at French Camp Landfill. These records will correspond with records on tonnages reported to the State Franchise Tax Board. Section 2.4 Austin Road Landfill Alternative Cover Plan The alternative cover pilot program will be implemented by the City's Landfill operator, under the supervision of the City's Solid Waste Division. The cover will be applied as described in this section. The program will be monitored by the LEA. The LEA will document how the alternative cover performs according to Section 17683,Title 14 of the CCR. A final report will be prepared and submitted to the Board as described in this section. During the pilot study period,the alternative cover will be applied to the working face of the landfill. In the event that adequate amounts of green material is not available at the Austin Road Landfill, or the movement of green materials or soil is not possible,the use of the Covertech C- 440 for daily cover will be permitted upon prior verbal approval of the LEA staff.. Material transported to the Austin Road Landfill will be stockpiled on the newly expanded asphalt winter pad. Ground green waste must be used within 72 hours of receipt at the Austin Road Landfill. In order to use the ground green waste,the working face operations will be altered. Currently,the working face at the Austin Road landfill is approximately 60' x 100'. The proposal will be to reduce the size of the daily cells to 75'x 100' and a depth of 14 feet. This will correspond to the operating procedures that have been used successfully by Yolo County. The daily cells will be arranged in a four by four(4 x 4)matrix. Each matrix will be surrounded by soil fire break. Soil cover will be provided by these fire breaks when it comes time to cover the green material. According to the Waste Board's bulletin No. 19 (revised), green material used as ADC can be left exposed up to twenty-one(21)calendar days before covering with soil, if attendants are onsite during closed days. If attendants are not onsite during closed days, soil cover must be applied the day before a closed day. The closed days for the Austin Road landfill are Saturdays and Sundays along with the Christmas and New Year's Holidays. In light of this allowance, the City of Stockton is proposing to provide soil cover on Fridays unless an attendant is onsite during closed days. For specifics on what constitutes an attendant onsite,refer to the winterization plan for both landfills which are attached. At no time will green material be exposed for longer than 21 calendar days and verbal notification must be provided to the LEA prior to leaving green material exposed on closed days. 10
