-2- Odo�robl kms have practically been eliminated as the operation now requires an earth cover at the end of each day. This operation provides effective con- trol of its, inerts, etc. When the cover is placed each day, we have found a dust problem could develop that would affect neighbors in the area. The water truck is used to keep the dirt stockpile damp so that any excessive wind would not produce blowing dust. Litter control is handled effectively by county personnel on a daily basis. Periodic patrols along the perimeter of the site cleans up any litter in the area. -Fire control, when needed, can effectively be controlled with the water truck that is at the landfill site on a 24 hour basis. During the days oper- ation, the water truck is always in the vicinity to assist if fire control is needed. A metals recovery area has been established to receive all metal products. Removal to a metals firm for sale & recovery is performed by county personnel. Wastes Received The Harney Lane Landfill receives municipal solid waste, household waste, liquid waste and.septaae waste. The waste stream is composed primarily of paper products, glass, cans, garden trimmings and various metal items. Z JjL1 is placed in a recovery area where it will be transported to a local metal firm for recycling. Currently we are processing about 1,400 c.y. per day at the land- fill'sand predictions indicate a landfill quantity 227,614 cubic yards will be used for the calendar year of 1977. Normally in the spL nnc of the year we will experience some peaklo_ding. This usually does not present any problems except for the individual going to the landfill site may have to wait a few minutes to unload. The liquid motes received will normally be septage discharge. Wastes that are restricted to a class I site are delivered direct To theme class I disposal area outside San Joaquin County by the firm handling the product. Location of >Site The aerial photograph shows the entire site clearly. We have noted on the plan view where the landfill operation is taking place at the time the photograph was taken. There are 2 entrances to the site with one being locked when the other access gate is being used. Traffic control is handled smoothly with all the access roads being able to accommodate 2 lanes of traffic. When you arrive at the disposal site you are directed by county personnel where to discharge the waste. The types of vehicles using the landfill are cars, pick-up trucks, vans, and commercial compactor trucks. This would account for the great majority of vehicle types. The:. traffic volume per week is approximately 1,900 vehicles.
