place (3) litter fences were not adequately policed, and <br /> (4) past practices of landfilling over large downslope areas <br /> enabled winds to blow litter away from the active area. <br /> The occurrence of high winds at the site cannot be changed. <br /> However, mitigating measures for litter control have been <br /> undertaken and can be improved at the site. Current <br /> landfill procedures of waste cell building have decreased <br /> the size of the active area reducing litter potential. <br /> Current landfilling in the pit has also reduced the affects <br /> of the wind. <br /> The perimeter fence has been improved with wire mesh to <br /> serve as a litter fence. Further litter control improvement <br /> could be realized by installing temporary litter fences <br /> around the active area, particularly after the pit is filled <br /> and landfilling on the top exposes the active face to more <br /> wind. <br /> The City of Tracy is now using inmate labor from government <br /> correction facilities to periodically pick up litter on and <br /> around the landfill. This has enabled more frequent <br /> cleanups resulting in reduced litter problems. <br /> 4) Disposal of Possible Toxic Waste: In May of 1970, the <br /> California Department of Water Resources (DWR) prepared a <br /> report for the RWQCB containing hydrologic data and also <br /> results of a field inspection conducted on May 11, 1970. <br /> This report is contained in Appendix L. <br /> This report contains documentation of an on-site pond <br /> containing oil or gas well drilling muds and also disposal <br /> of pesticide containers. The extent of the acceptance of <br /> these wastes is not well documented. <br /> Current practices at the site do not include acceptance of <br /> hazardous or liquid wastes. A load checking program will <br /> soon be implemented at the site to detect and deter the <br /> attempted disposal of these wastes. <br /> E. Design and operational changes: <br /> Operations for future landfilling at the site will be carried out <br /> as described in the Operations Plan and Closure Plan for the <br /> site. These plans are contained in appendix D and B respectively <br /> of the RWD for the site, which is Appendix C of this Engineering <br /> Review. These reports present construction methods, design <br /> features and the future operations plan for the site. <br /> 14 <br />
