These revisions include the <br />increase in permitted limit for the landfill height, daily disposal tonnage, and incoming refuse vehicles. <br />This document also addresses the potential noise impacts from the use of heavy equipment for refuse <br />disposal. The proposed permit revisions do not include changing the hours of landfill operation (the time <br />during which refuse is received). <br />We find ourselves pressed for time, so we would be most grateful to receive your comments within four <br />weeks of the receipt of this document. <br />As I mentioned in my phone message, there are statements in the Noise section (Section 3.9, pages 8 and <br />11) that refer to "extended operating hours" and resulting in "significant impact" due to noise. These <br />statements are in error, apparently carried over from an early draft of the Initial Study before the noise <br />evaluation was completed. We are not proposing to change the landfill operating hours at this time, and <br />any assessment of noise impact would include evaluation of distances to receptors. Please disregard those <br />paragraphs. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at 468-8504. <br />Sincerely, <br />W.
