final cover will be stockpiled when encountered until they are to be <br /> placed in the final cover. If adequate soils are not available on site <br /> for the clay layer requirements, suitable soils will have to be <br /> imported. Additional information on existence of suitable clay layer <br /> materials will be available as site excavation progresses. <br /> Table 1 of this engineering review summarizes total soil requirements <br /> for the site until closure, according to the January 1994 Preliminary <br /> Closure Plan and March 1995 RDSI and RWD. <br /> III. SITE EXPANSION DESCRIPTION <br /> A. Location and access: <br /> The Foothill Sanitary Landfill site location is shown on Figure 1. The <br /> site is comprised of 800 acres in San Joaquin County along the boundary <br /> of Stanislaus County. <br /> Site access is from Waverly Road. The existing landfill entrance road <br /> from Waverly Road is a paved road which extends approximately 2 , 000 feet <br /> to the entrance gate. This road has good drainage characteristics and <br /> will be used to access landfilling activities well into the future. <br /> This road, along with other existing site features, is shown in faded <br /> form on sheet 3 of the Preliminary closure Plan drawings. <br /> Information on site access and signing is contained in Section 5.0, <br /> "Site Location And Access", of the March 1995 RDSI and RWD. Internal <br /> roads will be constructed by landfill workers for future phases of site <br /> development according to the 1991 Operations Plan. <br /> Security for the site is provided by a perimeter fence, controlled <br /> access, and a resident foreman. The entrance gate is locked after <br /> hours. <br /> B. Topography: <br /> The Foothill site is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada <br /> Mountains. The terrain is generally gently rolling hills. Additional <br /> information on site topography is contained in section 8. 1 "Geology", of <br /> the March 1995 RDSI and RWD. <br /> C. Vegetation and wildlife: <br /> Existing vegetation at the site generally consists of native vegetation <br /> which does not require irrigation and flourishes in the -rainy season. <br /> Land within the permitted site, which is outside of the fenced area <br /> containing current landfilling operations, is used for grazing of <br /> livestock. Existing wildlife onsite and in the region generally <br /> consists of small mammals and bird life. The small mammals mainly <br /> consist of rodents and jackrabbits while bird life is mainly hawks and <br /> meadowlarks. <br /> 12 <br />
