1. Precipitation: Information on precipitation for the <br /> site is contained in Sections 2595(e1) through (e3) of <br /> the RWD. <br /> 2. Wind: The estimated wind rose for the site is <br /> described in Section 2595(e6) and shown on Figure 7 of <br /> the RWD. <br /> 3. Odors: Odors will be controlled at the site by <br /> working in confined, well compacted refuse lift areas <br /> with placement of adequate daily and intermediate <br /> cover. Odors generally occur in the immediate disposal <br /> area due to the exposed waste during dumping and <br /> compaction; however, these will not be a critical <br /> nuisance due to the remoteness of the site and the fact <br /> that the compaction and cover procedures listed above <br /> will be followed. <br /> 4. Temperatures: The site has a Mediterranean climate <br /> typical of the northern San Joaquin Valley. The mean <br /> daily maximum temperature in July and August is in <br /> excess of 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with some daily highs <br /> over 100 degrees. Minimum temperatures in January <br /> average between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit, with <br /> maximum temperatures in the mid-50's. <br /> 5. Dust: Since the summers at the site are hot and dry, <br /> airborne dust is generated from landfill activities, <br /> which include travel by site users on unpaved access <br /> roads and also solid waste pushing, compaction and <br /> covering. The dust is controlled by spraying access <br /> and work areas with water from a water truck. This <br /> procedure has been inadequate at times in the past due <br /> to the limited performance of the current water truck <br /> used at the site. <br /> However, a replacement 3000 gallon capacity water truck <br /> is proposed for the site, which should be adequate to <br /> keep dust to a level that will not interfere with <br /> equipment operation or visibility of site users. <br /> 6. Litter: Litter at the site is controlled by practicing <br /> proper landfilling techniques, litter fences and <br /> litter pickup by landfill workers. <br /> Landfilling in cells using a landfill compactor <br /> confines and consolidates the solid waste such that <br /> litter is less likely to be generated. At the end of <br /> each day the solid waste is covered with a minimum of 6 <br /> inches of cover soil. This further reduces the amount <br /> of litter generated on the site. <br /> 19 <br />
