Temporary berms will be constructed where needed to intercept and divert sur- face runoff away from the active working face. Soils will be excavated sequen- tially from the modules shown on the excavation and fill sequence plan to meet the requirements for landfill development. The excavation sequence was developed according to the requirements for soil handling, access, drainage, and waste placement. A permanent, separate, paved unloading area will be provided for small vehicles. These vehicles will unload into large bins which then will be transported by landfill equipment to the working face. This area will also be used to separate, recover, and store recyclable materials. A major portion of the waste arriving at the landfill (61 percent in 1988) originates from the California Waste Removal Systems, Inc. Transfer Station in Lodi, Cali- fornia. Extensive recycling is performed at this station prior to the transfer of the waste to the landfill. Additionally, the residential refuse collectors for the cities of Lodi and Stockton conduct recycling programs for their customers. Consequently, recyclable materials are removed from a large portion of the waste stream before the waste is delivered to the landfill. A recycling program will be established at the new landfill aimed toward removing recyclable materials from the remaining portion of the waste stream. The unloading area for small vehicles will be used to segregate and store in metal bins, recyclable materials such as wood, aluminum, cardboard, steel, glass, cans, and newspaper as the markets permit. The materials will then be transported to markets by County vehicles. Additionally, an area will be -estab- lished to collect used motor oil which will be collected when economical market conditions exist. 6.2 CONTINGENCY PLAN AND NOTIFICATION Given site conditions, design, and construction, failure of containment structures due to flooding, washout, earthquake, etc., seems unlikely.
