Section 2 SITE OPERATIONS PLAN 2.0 INTRODUCTION This Site Operations Plan is prepared to provide guidance in the operations of the newly expanded Austin Road Landfill under more technical operational features and expanded regula- tory controls. Operation of the landfill under these guidelines will result in several modifications to the existing operation and facilities. Although waste volumes and daily landfilling operations will remain much the same, access, drainage and additional operation facilities will require increased coordination and oversight by the operator. The scale facility will be relocated onto the new access road. A temporary hazardous waste storage area will be located opposite the scale house and will require attendance at such times as any hazardous materials are delivered to or removed from the site. It is assumed that these deliveries will be sporadic and will not require continual attendance. The leachate collection system must be monitored and maintained. Haul of leachate must be coordinated to insure continuous capacity for landfill leachate at the holding facility. It is assumed that existing staffing is adequate for these items provided leachate is hauled by contract. The drainage system will become more extensive and require more attention; however, in the short term, no additional personnel are anticipated. During and after storm events, it will be essential that the surface water drainage and the leachate collection system be monitored to ensure that there is no crossover of these systems due to obstructions. Stockpile areas also must be monitored and maintained during these times to minimize erosion. Since materials excavated from new cell construction will be stockpiled on the existing landfill area, materials for daily operations will come from the borrow area. This will generally result in longer haul distances. Environmental monitoring will be more extensive with additional groundwater monitoring wells and landfill gas probes installed. Under current agreements, Pacific Energy is responsible for landfill gas; however, with an expanded facility, it is possible the City will assume at least a portion of this responsibility. 2.1 CONTROL OF INCOMING WASTE 2.1.1 Site Access Access to the City of Stockton's Austin Road landfill is provided on the east side of the site directly onto Austin Road, which intersects both French Camp Road 3.5 miles south of the site, and Arch Road two miles north of the site.
