INTRODUCTION <br /> General <br /> This Second Semester and Annual 2008 Monitoring Report for the Foothill Sanitary Landfill <br /> (FSL) is submitted in compliance with Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) Order <br /> No. R5-2003-0020. <br /> The FSL is located in eastern San Joaquin County at 6484 N. Waverly Road, four miles east of <br /> Linden, CA (Figure 1). Land uses within 1,000 feet of the facility are agricultural. The vicinity <br /> receives an average of approximately 18 inches of precipitation per year. <br /> The FSL is a single Class III Waste Management Unit on an 800-acre parcel. This Unit is <br /> comprised of Module "I", Module 1, and future modules. Future modules will overlap onto the <br /> completed modules until final closure of the Unit. The size of future modules will be selected in <br /> accordance with the refuse disposal rate. <br /> Waste discharged to the landfill includes commercial and household waste, construction/ <br /> demolition waste, and agricultural waste. Disposal in this semester occurred over Module 1 <br /> (Figure 2). <br /> The total capacity of the landfill is approximately 102 million cubic yards. The active life of the <br /> facility is estimated to allow disposal at least until the year 2058, based on current disposal rates <br /> and capacities. The estimated service life will change if disposal rates differ significantly than <br /> those predicted. The quantity of waste placed during the reporting period is shown in Table 1. <br /> TABLE 1 <br /> Second Semester 2008 Monthly Refuse Disposal <br /> Foothill Sanitary Landfill <br /> Month Refuse Disposal <br /> (Tons) <br /> Jul 20,626 <br /> Aug20,018 <br /> Sep 19,354 <br /> Oct 20,178 <br /> Nov 17,923 <br /> Dec 18,933 <br /> Geology <br /> The first water bearing zone encountered is in sandy gravel at a depth of more than 200 feet. <br /> Groundwater elevations range between approximately 46 and 61 feet MSL.
