F. The current landfill operation is by cut and fill method and the soil obtained will <br /> be used for daily, intermediate cover. Refuse will be continuously compacted in <br /> layers by a landfill compactor to a height of 6 to 10 feet. A minimum cover of <br /> 6 inches of soil is used at end of working day. The working face will proceed <br /> over the site in the direction of the downslope according to the excavation grades. <br /> G. A limited recycling program is planned at this facility. Source separated <br /> materials would be brought into this facility and unloaded into recycling bins. An <br /> approval from Linden - Peters Fire District would be necessary before a wood <br /> waste salvaging area is utilized. Used oil and used batteries shall be handled in <br /> a manner approved by the LEA. <br /> H. The hazardous waste screening program is done in two phases. <br /> Phase I It is implemented at the Lovelace Transfer Station. Since <br /> approximately 90% of the current waste volumes disposed of at <br /> Foothill comes from the Lovelace Transfer Station, this will serve <br /> as the main hazardous waste screening program. <br /> Phase II It is implemented at the Foothill landfill. The remaining waste <br /> volume approximately 10% will be visually inspected by the <br /> Foothill Landfill Sanitary, Inc. as outlined in RDSI February, <br /> 1992. <br /> The waste load checking program should consist of the following <br /> activities: Inspection of random in-coming loads; regular visual inspection <br /> of the wastes deposited at the facility; training of facility personnel in <br /> hazardous waste recognition and proper hazardous waste handling <br /> procedures; reporting incidents of unlawful disposal to specific agencies. <br /> Tom Horton, Solid Waste Manager and Gabriel Karem, Senior Solid Waste <br /> Engineer, can be contacted at (209) 468-3000 for emergencies and <br /> hazardous waste inquries. Additional measures may be required upon the <br /> request of the LEA or the Board. <br /> I. Anticipated Changes: Future plans include installation of a leachate collection <br /> and recovery system, and a liner for each of the remaining modules. <br /> J. Operating Hours: 7:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M. Daily. These hours are subject to <br /> change depending upon volumes received at Lovelace Transfer Station. The <br /> service life expectancy is 65 years. The estimated closure date is 2054. <br /> 2 <br />
