the potential foL ground water degradation was minimal, discharge requirements were waived by CRWQCB. In May, 1977, complaints were received from the Stockton Fire Department of 6 separate fires occurring at the site. Learner Company reponded to the Health District that the apparent reason for the fires was the restricted water flow into the waste storage containers during a time of water shortage. The water flow was increased. Extensive and recurrent open burning violations have been documented in September and October, 1978. With the proper operation and maintenance of the site according to the provisions and specifications of solid waste facility permit 39 -AA -010, the problems of fires at the site would be greatly minimized. This fact is implied by the attorney for California Clay Products in the Revised Operating Plan submitted to CR14QCB on June 29, 1973. The current operation of this site does not comply with the State Minimum Standards of Solid Waste Handling and Disposal. The operator has not submitted a winterization plan as of this date (deadline: August 10, 1978). Scavenging is occurring at this site which is prohibited. Residential refuse and tires are being deposited at the site which- incoming records of weights and volumes have ted by August 1, 1978 as required. All litter and loose materials are not being routinely collected and properly disposed. Names, addresses, telephone numbers, and other emergency information have not been provided. Identification signs with this information have not been provided at each point of access. Adequate barriers have not been provided around the pit area. All existing loose refuse brought to the final lift has not been covered with two feet of clean, compacted cover material. No measures have been taken to minimize the generation of fugitive dust. A safe area has not been set aside for receiving burning wastes. A means for extinguishing these wastes has not been provided. The operator has not submitted the required site design identifying efforts to be taken to prevent the creation of hazards or nuisances relative to the operation of the site. In the judgment of this writer, the continued operation of disposal site 39 -AA -010 in multiple violation of the provisions of the current solid waste facility permit can only lead to the recommendation that the District, as designated local enforcement agency for solid waste management, consider revocation of said permit.
