D. Engineering properties of soil and bedrock: <br /> Information on engineering properties of soil and bedrock at the <br /> site is contained in J.H. Kleinfelder & Associates 1991 <br /> "Geotechnical Investigation Report", which is appendix I to this <br /> PSR, and the 1985 J.H. Kleinfelder "Geologic Investigation", which <br /> is appendix E of the RDSI and RWD. <br /> V. REGULATORY AGENCY REQUIREMENTS <br /> General Background: <br /> Federal: <br /> The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the primary federal <br /> agency responsible for solid waste management. The activities of the <br /> EPA were authorized by the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1967, the <br /> Resource Recovery Act of 1970, the Resource Conservation and Recovery <br /> Act (RCRA) of 1976, the re-authorization of RCRA in 1984, and most <br /> recently the 1992 revision of RCRA (Subtitle D) . Current EPA activities <br /> involve research, training grants, technical assistance, and state and <br /> regional planning for municipal and hazardous waste. <br /> Due to the fact that California regulations regarding management and <br /> ARL disposal of solid waste, such as takes place at the Foothill Sanitary <br /> 1p Landfill, are at least as stringent as RCRA, the EPA has not had a <br /> direct involvement in enforcement of regulation relating to operation of <br /> the Foothill Sanitary Landfill. <br /> State of California: <br /> The four principle state agencies involved in solid waste management are <br /> the CIWMB, the Department of Health Services (DHS) , <br /> the California Air Resources Board, and the State Water Resources <br /> Control Board (SWRCB) - through the RWQCB. Regulations developed by <br /> these agencies regulate landfill operations, minimum health standards <br /> and monitoring and mitigation of environmental effects of landfills. <br /> Local Agencies: <br /> Public health standards developed by the state, are enforced by local <br /> agencies through state-approved LEA's. The Environmental Health <br /> Division of the San Joaquin County Department of Public Health is the <br /> local enforcement agency (LEA) for the Foothill Sanitary Landfill. <br /> Specific Agency Involvement with Foothill Sanitary Landfill: <br /> Following is a list of particular agencies which have dealings with the <br /> Foothill Sanitary Landfill with descriptions of particular activities <br /> the agency performs and reports which have been submitted to that <br /> agency. <br /> 17 <br />
