agricultural wastes. The waste was incinerated and covered in <br /> trenches. Records do not identify the exact location and depth of <br /> the early trenches. <br /> The County of San Joaquin leased the City of Lodi property in <br /> January of 1975 and assumed the operations responsibility for both <br /> landfill areas. By this time, the solid waste was no longer being <br /> incinerated, and a cut and cover operation had been established. <br /> Compaction of the solid waste was achieved using a dozer. solid <br /> waste trenches were excavated to a 50-foot depth with the excavated <br /> material being used for cover. The County planned to add lifts of <br /> solid waste to an average design elevation of about 120 feet or <br /> about 20 feet above the existing ground elevation. <br /> The landfill received solid waste from both public and contract <br /> carriers. The nature of the solid waste was typically domestic <br /> refuse, commercial refuse, tires, construction and demolition <br /> waste. No hazardous wastes were accepted at the landfill. <br /> Recent operations at the landfill are similar to past operations <br /> with some improvements as mentioned below. The solid waste is <br /> compacted to a greater degree using a steel wheel landfill <br /> compactor. The daily cover material is applied carefully to avoid <br /> wasting soil. The operators have added soil cover and graded the <br /> top of the landfill to 3% to reduce ponding and to improve drainage <br /> on the top of the landfill. <br /> 4 <br />
