MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: James A. Robertson <br /> FROM: Steven C. Macaulay <br /> SUBJECT: In ction - City of Stockton <br /> French Camp Solid Waste Disposal Site <br /> On 15 May 1973, Jeff Bunnell and I visited Stockton's French <br /> Camp landfill to gather information related to site operation <br /> and maintenance. we were accompanied by John Giambastiani, <br /> contractor responsible for operation of the site. <br /> This site receives 500 cubic yards per day of tree and grass <br /> cuttings, street sweepings, demolition material, and mix in- <br /> dustrial refuse. The refuse is covered 2-3 times per week, and <br /> is covered in a 3-stage operation. Initial cover is with waste <br /> pulp from the Fibreboard plant in Stockton. Dirt from Stockton' s <br /> street sweeping operation is then placed over the fill. Final <br /> cover is with demolition material such as asphalt and concrete. <br /> j One D-B bulldozer is utilized for daily operations, and a simi- <br /> lar unit is available for back-up service. A smaller bulldozer <br /> (International TD-14) in also available on standby. <br /> Refuse accepted at this site is all Group 2 and Group 3 waste. <br /> All waste material is presently being deposited at the western <br /> end of the property, adjacent to the confluence of Walker Slough <br /> and French Camp Slough. Mr. Giambaotiani stated that this par- <br /> ticular area is being filled for the third time, with the final <br /> top slope made even with the top of the existing levee. Mixed <br /> refuse, primarily grass and tree clippings and waste paper, is <br /> being deposited on the slough side of the levee. Mr. Giambastiani <br /> indicated that this material would be covered in the same manner <br /> as the rest of the fill, although more riprap may be put in place <br /> to stabilize Levee erosion. At the time of inspection, Jeff ob- <br /> served a thin stream of liquid emanating from this material and <br /> flowing into French Camp Slough. <br /> Every two years, in the spring, Stockton has a town clean-up <br /> project. At that time all unwanted materials, including old <br /> stoves, refrigerators, etc. , areleft out on the street to be <br /> j collect d buried at this site. This material is presently <br /> being stockpiled to be gradually buried with the fill. <br /> i <br /> The site operating plan is to complete the present fill area and <br /> move to a one acre area to the immediate east, This area will <br /> be filled within six to 12 months, at which time the operation <br /> i will move to a 10 acre parcel adjacent to Walker Slough, north- <br /> east of the present fill area. This parcel contains 24,000 cubic <br />!! yards of soil excavated to form the Stockton Diverting Canal. <br /> .kI <br />
