C State of CaliforniaTHE RESOURCES AGENCY s memorandumD RR 9 X978 To : Files Date = March 7, 1978 N JA ` HEALTH DISTRICT Bernie Vlach From STATE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD Subject: MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE REPORT - SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY On February 14, 1978 Jan Meyer and I conducted a field inspection of solid waste facilities in San Joaquin County. The following Findings were made: LOVELACE TRANSFER STATION The Lovelace transfer station is operating at 300% of its designed through-put. . The station was never completed as conceptualized, i.e. a closed, covered facility. Presently only three walls exist and these are supported by trusses. The station serves both private and county vehicles. The weather had been severe prior to our inspection and a drainage problem was evident. The loading dock is a sump which collects rainwater and leachate. The existing drainage system is clogged and inoperable. Part of the site surfacing is inadequate for all weather use, becoming a quagmire. Stacking of empty trucks outside the facility is problematic as there is no designated parking area. The security fence around the paved area is in need of repair. Considering its original design capacity the facility operates quite well. A covered off-loading area would be advantageous during inclement weather. A system should be designed to dispose of liquid collected in the loading dock in a sanitary manner and in accordance with the recommendations of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (17534). The unpaved portion of the station should be brought up to all weather capability (§17452, 17484). Stacking of vehicles waiting to enter the station on the public road should occur as approved by a traffic engineer or the local police authority (£17538). The fence should be repaired to discourage unauthorized entry by persons or vehicles (617483).
