kn KLEINFELDER 4 LAND AND WATER USE 4.1 LAND USE According to the County General Plan to 1995, the surrounding land use in the vicinity of the landfill is agricultural. A map showing general land use descriptions and approximate structure locations for the parcels in the vicinity of the landfill site is shown on Plate 4-1. This map was compiled from an aerial photograph dated March 1986, obtained from the San Joaquin County Public Works Department. In general, surrounding land use is open pasture with residences or structures related to agricultural use on many parcels. It should be noted that the parcel adjacent to the northwest comer of the landfill site contains seasonal farm labor camp housing (see Plate 4-1). The labor camp is on property owned by the County and is operated by the San Joaquin County Housing Authority. The complex includes surface ponds for storm runoff and waste water generated from the housing complex. The ponds are operated under WDR Order No. 85-119 issued in June Ask 1985 by the CVRWQCB. The parcel directly south of the landfill is owned by the County and contains a storm water detention basin which is currently being excavated to supply landfill cover. Excavation activities do not interfere with the storm water detention function of the basin. The landfill is expected to reach closure fill elevations by the end of 1991. Final cover will be placed over the site in 1992. Excavation of the detention basin also will be completed at that time. After final cover is placed, the County intends to maintain the landfill as open space. The future land use patterns within one mile of the site are anticipated to continue as they currently exist. 4.2 WATER USE Information on wells near the landfill, obtained from previous County Solid Waste Division monitoring reports, was presented in the SWAT proposal. Plate 4-1 shows wells known to exist in the vicinity of the landfill site based on San Joaquin County Public Works and California Department of Water Resources (DWR) files reviewed in May 1991, and the ® Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the North County Sanitary Landfill by Jones and Stokes Associates Incorporated, March 1989.
