former sludge pond. The site of the impoundment had been graded and <br /> apparently seeded. Mr. Reed then addressed FIT's questions about the <br /> location of empty pesticide containers on site, stating that the <br /> containers were buried in all parts of the facility and reiterating that <br /> these containers were deemed acceptable by County Agriculture <br /> Inspectors. The tour proceeded to the edge of the main disposal cell, a <br /> pit approximately 50 feet deep located in the center of the facility. <br /> Apparently, up to 850 cubic yards of solid refuse are dumped in the <br /> disposal pit and covered each day. There appeared to be no visual <br /> evidence of hazardous or liquid waste disposal in the pit. Mr. Reed <br /> pointed out the locations of several groundwater and landfill gas <br /> monitoring wells, adding that he was not certain of each well's exact <br /> purpose and category. <br /> FIT inspectors noted that the site had a moderate slope to the south <br /> toward Corral Hollow Creek. This and the site's proximity to the creek <br /> raised a concern that during a heavy storm water running off of the <br /> landfill could conceivably flow unobstructed into the creek. Although <br /> the stream is an intermittent one, it is probable that it would contain <br /> water in the event of a significant rainstorm. It appears improbable, <br /> however, that the creek would reach, and subsequently release into, the <br /> Delta Mendota/California aqueduct complex because the stream appears to <br /> terminate in the middle of a field before reaching the canals. <br /> FIT determined that sampling was not required as part of the SSI due to <br /> the availability of existing data. <br /> 4-2 <br /> sa/tm/chl/si <br />
