waste materials used as ADC shall be restricted to the following materials: rock, concrete, brick, sand, soil, ceramics, cured asphalt, lumber and wood, wood products, roofing material, plastic pipe, plant material when commingled from construction work, and fines derived from processing the above materials. These materials shall comply with a grain size specification by volume of 95 percent less than 12 inches and 50 percent less than 6 inches as determined by the LEA. The C&D wastes are evenly spread over the active face in a minimum 6-inch lift and average compacted lift thickness of less than 18-inches using a dozer. The lift is compacted such that it is free of voids. If voids are present, an approximately 2-inch layer of soil is spread over the C&D waste to eliminate voids. (NOTE: Certain types of C&D, primarily asphaltic concrete and Portland cement concrete, are diverted from disposal for other beneficial uses, such as roads and tipping decks.) Contaminated Soil: Contaminated soil (CS), suitable for use as ADC, is stockpiled close to the active face to facilitate application as daily cover. A large sign designates the area to unload the CS. Forward Landfill uses CS as ADC (and as alternative intermediate cover) in the same manner as regular soil. The CS is spread over the active face using a dozer or loader in order to provide a minimum thickness of 6 inches of daily cover over refuse fill (or 12 inches of intermediate cover). It should be noted that volatile organic compound (VOC) CS available for daily cover use is stockpiled separately. A driver of an incoming load carrying VOC CS is provided with a form describing/characterizing the load. The driver is instructed to proceed to the traffic spotter, who reviews the form and directs the load to a designated stockpile area for VOC CS. This material is stockpiled near the working face but does not interfere with unloading of refuse. CS is also utilized for, but not limited too, preparation of wet weather deck or the improvement of the internal haul road and construction of earthen drainage control features. Furthermore, CS will also be utilized for beneficial reuse as allowed under 27 CCR, Section 20686. The amount of ADC used at the site is variable. The active face, over which ADC is placed, is kept as small as possible to reduce litter and vectors but large enough to allow safe and efficient traffic management. The quantities of ADC used at the site will be recorded and maintained in the operations record for the Forward Landfill JTD 6-12 J:\Allied\ForwardUTD Amendment\Marcfi 2006 JTD-LEA RespUTDUTD Sec 6 Rev.doc: 5/22/02;Rev.1:7/2002:Rev.2:4/2003;Rev 3:6/2003;Amendment No.1:5/22/2006
