CITY OF STOCKTON DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS CITY HALL 425 N. EL DORADO STREET STOCKTON, CA 95202-1 997 February 15, 1989 Mr. Ron Valinoti, R.E.H.S., Director Environmental Health Division San Joaquin Local Health District P.O. Box 2009 Stockton CA 95205 Attention: Alan Biedermann, R.S. R.D.I. AUSTIN ROAD LANDFILL--RODSI AND INSPECTION Facility No. 39 -AA -0002, Letters of 1/17/89 and 1/26/89 The City of Stockton received the subject letters and proposes the following program to bring the Austin Road Landfill into conformance with the Facility Permit and California Code. Several steps are necessary and some have already commenced even before this program is presented to you. The first step is already under way with the installation of a set of scales which will allow a more accurate determination of tonnage than in the past. This facility will be completed by March 8, 1989. The tonnage at Austin Road Landfill has apparently exceeded the Facility Permit's limits for some years and will be brought into conformance by a specific plan of action. It is our plan to limit the landfill intake by eliminating all drop box wastes and only allow residential wastes and front loader wastes which are generally related to domestic and allied uses. This will reduce the present amounts from over 500 t/d to about 345 t/d, a 40% immediate reduction. The plan for the remaining reduction (to at or near the 280 tons desired) is proposed to come from a major increase in tipping fees at the landfill which will make these fees competitive with other landfills in the market area. We are moving toward a target date of fee implementation of March 20, 1989. The reductions in tonnage proposed in this paragraph is planned to be implemented by March 1, 1989. Should these major changes not result in the quantity reduction expected, further reduction in waste to the Austin Landfill would be undertaken, after it was determined that the goals were not being met. We hope you will agree that our plan is aggressive, "STOCKTON ... CALIFORNIA'S SUNRISE SEAPORT"
