June 22,2006 cc Kevin Basso General Mana r Manager Post Office Box 6336 Stockton, CA 95206 RE: Joint Technical Document(JTD)Amendment No. 2. The Environmental Health Department(EHD)has received and reviewed the proposed JTD amendment. The proposed amendment does not meet Title 27 California Code of Regulation 21665 and therefore has been rejected.The EHD has the following comments regard the proposed amendment: 1. The JTD, Page 4-9, Section 4.3.2, states "Therefore, on days when less waste is received the site can accept more loads of the beneficial reuse materials." Would the number of additional loads of beneficial reuse material be based on site needs? If the material accepted is for future use, how would it be handled, stored and tracked?Please explain. The response provided in the amendment did not fully address the question. Please elaborate on where the soil will be stockpiled and where the records are maintained. 2. The JTD, Page 4-9 Section 4.3.1, indicates that the soil needs for daily, intermediate, and operations layers were added together to derive the maximum contaminated soil limit. The actual site needs should reflect an average and not a peak amount. Revise to include a reasonable average tonnage limit. Title 27 CCR, Section 20686 restricts beneficial reuse materials to"quantities of solid wastes no more than necessary to meet the minimum requirements". The volumes listed in the chart on page 4-9, Section 4.3.1, as averages more than cover the site needs to meet the minimum requirements. Please explain the rationale for maximum needs. The EHD has concerns that the maximum needs would lead to an over use of the beneficial use materials accepted at the facility. 3. The JTD, Page 6-1, Section 6.1, states "Forward is proposing to extend the hours of operation for the landfill to 4 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with waste receipt stopping at 9:00 p.m."Revise to reflect current actual hours of operation. The response provided in the amendment did not fully address the question. Please remove the wording that indicates that Forward Inc. is proposing to extend the hours of operation. 4 The JTD, Page 6-13, Section 6.4.6.1,please explain in detail the types beneficial reuse materials, and how they meet 20686(a) and(b). The response provided in the amendment did not fully address the question. Please provide an explanation of how the facility operator plans to meet the T 27 CCR Section 20686 (a)&(b). Page 1 of 3
