The retention pond will collect and retain site storm drainage for percolation and evaporation and shall be designed to retain. storm water for two 100-year storms . California Integrated Waste Management Board (Board) staff have reviewed potential significant impacts associated with the project and offer the following comments: GENERAL COMMENTS The proposed project is adjacent to an abandoned landfill . Recently, (13 :50 ,p.m. , June 9, 1993) Board staff phoned Mr. Ken Hill, Project Environmental Coordinator, regarding the old landfill . Mr. Hill indicated that approximately 10 feet of the original 200 foot landfill adjacent to the site will be excavated for project development. This portion of the .old landfill is needed for planned roadways and the site' s commercial scale. The remaining portion of the old landfill is not owned by the County and not a portion of this project. Although the project proponent is attempting to acquire a limited section of the old landfill adjacent to the site as a portion of this project, Board staff suggest that the lead agency consider "clean closure" of the entire landfill site . Attached is a copy of information regarding "clean closure" of old or abandoned landfills. Board staff request that the .Final EIR include a description of operating procedures and occupational safeguards to be implemented for the proposed project. Impacts to employee health and safety and the public should be a priority, given the potential for exposure to hazardous or potentially hazardous wastes. MITIGATION MONITORING AND IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE Table 2 .1 of the Draft EIR should be identified as a Mitigation Monitoring and Implementation Schedule or Plan as required by Public Resources Code, Section '21081. 6 at the time of local adoption of the environmental document.
