Noise at the landfill will be controlled by using proper noise suppression mufflers on landfill equipment. Noise generated by landfill activities is not expected to be a problem because of the site's remote location. 8. Visual access: Visual access to the site is from Corral Hollow Road and from State Highway 580 just east of the site. The visual access to much of the site is limited from Corral Hollow Road due to the fact that the Landfill slopes downward to Corral Hollow Creek from the road. Visual access of the site is more extensive from State Highway 580, because the southern sloping face of the landfill can be viewed from the state highway when looking north. 9. Recycling and composting: Recycling and composting is not currently practiced or proposed at the Corral Hollow Sanitary Landfill. 10. Vegetation and irrigation: Information on vegetation and irrigation to be performed at the landfill is contained on pages 15 and 16 of the Closure Plan for the site, which is contained as B to the RWD for the site. (The RWD is included as Appendix C of this Engineering Review) . 11. Stockpiling soil , permeability of soil cover, compaction of waste, waste settlement rate, and ratio of waste to soil volume. a) Compaction of waste: The waste delivered to the site is compacted using the site's 816B Caterpillar landfill compactor. This is accomplished by pushing the waste from the spot of deposition by site users, and then continually traversing waste with the compactor. The compacted waste is landfilled in this manner by building of daily waste cells. These cells are generally 6 feet to 10 feet in height and are covered at the end of each day. The compaction factor used to estimate the remaining site life of the landfill in the Closure Plan is 0.33. This factor assumes that incoming gate quantities, when compacted 36
