2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION <br />2.1 LOCATION AND ACCESS <br />The North County Sanitary Landfill lies in the eastern half of Sec- <br />tion 21, T3N, RBE, as identified on the Linden, California U.S. <br />Geological Survey topographic quadrangle (see Figure 1). <br />Primary access to the site is from the City of Lodi. The landfill may <br />be accessed by traveling south on State Highway 99 from Lodi to the <br />Harney Lane exit. The landfill entrance is located on Harney Lane <br />approximately 8.5 miles east of the State Highway 99 -Harney Lane <br />intersection (see Figure 2). <br />2.2 TOPOGRAPHY AND SITE CONDITIONS <br />The site and surrounding area consist primarily of gently rolling <br />pasture. Two branches of South Paddy Creek, represented by the <br />natural drainage channels entering the east perimeter, traverse the <br />north -central portion of the site. Water in these channels flows to <br />the northwest. Four ponds are present on the site: two are associat- <br />ed with drainage, and two are man-made and used for irrigation and <br />livestock. <br />Elevations at the site range from approximately 106 feet mean sea <br />level (MSL) in the northwest corner to 123 feet MSL in the southeast <br />corner. Three gentle hills in the site's northern portion rise to <br />elevations ranging from 118 to 124 feet MSL. <br />2.3 CLIMATE <br />The site has a Mediterranean climate typical of the northern San <br />Joaquin Valley. Winters are cool and moist, while summers are hot and <br />dry. The mean daily maximum temperature in July and August is in <br />excess of 90°F, with frequent daily highs over 100°F. Minimum <br />
