STATE OF dAUFORNIA GEORGE DEUKMEJIAN, Governor CALIFORNIA WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD 1020 NINTH STREET, SUITE 300 SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 To: Joe Walker, Assistant City' of Stockton Corporation Yard 1465 So. Lincoln Street Stockton, CA 95201 Subject: Report of inspection: French am Landfill 39-AA-02 Government Code Section 66796.38 requires the California Waste Management Board (Board) to conduct inspections of solid waste facilities for the purpose of evaluating compliance with the State Standards for Solid Waste Handling and Disposal (Title 14. California Administrative Code, Division 7 Chapter 31 commencing with section 17200). Under this program, each facility will be inspected at least three separate times. As you are aware by now, staff has already conducted one of these inspections at the subject facility. The date of that inspection was October 29, 1986. A report resulting from the recent inspection is enclosed. If photographs are referred to in the inspection report, copies will be obtainable upon written request. The goal of our inspection program is to verify compliance with each of the State Minimum Standards, not merely to find violation(s) of these standards. In order to achieve this we will , as I stated above, be inspecting each facility at least three times. This will provide the following advantages over the previous inspection techniques: The program will provide greater fairness to operators of facilities by reducing the possibility that one operator will be inspected under adverse conditions and another under favorable conditions. The program will allow for evaluation of conditions, which show seasonal variations such as effectiveness of leachate control systems, vectors, dust, etc. The program will provide a track record of compliance which will be used in evaluating standards for which a single violation may not be sufficient reason to place the facility on the State List of Non-Complying Facilities when the facility is generally in compliance with that standards, i.e., the daily cover standard.
