San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department State 18-Month Inspection Report <br /> North County Landfill <br /> SWIS#39-AA-0022 <br /> It is recommended that the local enforcement agency inform the operator to correct the sign at the front <br /> entrance to include a contact phone number where it can be visible to the public. <br /> AREAS OF CONCERN: <br /> A. The inspection identified two areas of concern: <br /> 1. Section 20700—Intermediate Cover. This standard requires that compacted earthen material <br /> of at least twelve inches shall be placed on all surfaces of the fill where no additional waste will <br /> be deposited within 180 days to control vectors, fires, odors,blowing litter and scavenging. <br /> During the inspection, the southeast slope of Module 3 was observed. It was partially covered with <br /> straw matting. A very strong garbage odor was seeping through the straw matting(see Figure 2). <br /> Figure 2. Straw matting applied on top of Module 1 <br /> The local enforcement agency should direct the operator to repair the intermediate cover and eliminate <br /> the odor. The area needs to be compacted well with soil. <br /> 2. Section 20650—Grading of Fill Surfaces. This standard requires that Covered surfaces of the <br /> disposal area shall be graded to promote lateral runoff of precipitation and to prevent ponding. Grades <br /> shall be established of sufficient slopes to account for future settlement of the fill surface. Other <br /> effective maintenance methods may be allowed by the enforcement agency. <br /> During the inspection, the top of Module 1 and the east side of it was observed. The area contained <br /> some spots where it was low with soil. <br /> The local enforcement agency should direct the operator to fill in these low areas with soil to prevent <br /> ponding and any runoff of precipitation. <br /> Page 3 of 4 Inspector <br />
