1.0 INTRODUCTION: <br /> The French Camp Landfill, located on the west side <br /> of Manthey Road and Downing Avenue in Stockton, <br /> California, encompasses 72 acres of which 65 acres <br /> is presently used for "green waste" disposal. <br /> The landfill operation commenced in 1938 as a burn <br /> dump site. In 1957 the City's garbage was rerouted <br /> to the Austin Road landfill and the French Camp <br /> site was only used for demolition waste and garden <br /> refuse. <br /> The landfill has been closed to the general public <br /> since 1980 and serves the City's garden refuse <br /> collection system and licensed gardeners and <br /> maintenance contractors only. <br /> Since the landfill site does not have an accessible <br /> soil cover material source, cover material is <br /> imported from various public construction projects. <br /> An intermediate grading plan has been implemented <br /> whereby approximately twelve (12) inches of soil <br /> cover is placed over the graded "green waste" <br /> material to eliminate water ponding on the landfill <br /> surfaces. <br /> on the southeasterly portion landfill, see Figure <br /> "C", a sedimentation pond is proposed capable of <br /> retaining 2.5 million gallons of runoff water. The <br /> pond would be located adjacent to French Camp <br /> Slough and be used as an integral part of this <br /> pollution prevention plan. <br />
