The refuse was covered well and the deck was generally clean. Employees continued to make preparations for the daily operation,removing the tarp covers,spraying access roads and work decks with water,and picking up litter around the workface areas. The early traffic at the workface was scant. We also observed the disposal area(adjacent to Modules I& II),where the site supervisor stated they moved from on late afternoon of April 22. We observed that soil cover had been applied over the area but not quite adequate,as bits and pieces of some compacted refuse was visible on the surface. The site supervisor stated their schedule called for the placement of additional soil cover over the area and during the later periods of the morning operation,we observed scrappers hauling soil to the area to apply the required cover. -Board staff and the LEA also inspected the recycling and transfer station and green waste materials chipping and grinding aspects of the facility's over -all waste management practices. Both of the operations appeared to be running well at the time of the inspection. At the recycling and transfer station operation,County employees direct waste processing and diversion activities by inmates and other staff. The station operation appeared to be orderly and there was good dust control measure(water spraying)and we were informed that the facility also has sprinklers that can be activated,if necessary. At the green waste materials chipping and grinding operation,load checks are conducted to segregate treated wood and other materials and the pile temperatures are monitored and recorded. The operation supervisor indicated that the pad is scheduled to be re-surfaced in the coming months to eliminate some surface depressions where minor ponding was observed. -Board staff and the LEA reviewed the disposal site and municipal solid waste landfill unit records. Some records were at the site and others were located at the offices of the County Department of Public Works in the City of Stockton,as approved by the LEA. All required records were available for review and up-to-date,as applicable. Board staff and the LEA measured methane gas levels on two multi-depth perimeter monitoring probes(SG-1 and SG-9)using the LEA's Landtec GEM-2000 instrument. We obtained 0.00%methane readings in the probes. We also reviewed the records of the operator's 1st Quarter 2009 monitoring results on the currently available five multi-depth probes and the results indicated that methane levels were non- detect(0.00%). Other Notes of Inspection: Review of the adequacy of the perimeter gas migration monitoring probes at the site was conducted by both the LEA and CIWMB,as part of the newly required monitoring plan updates outlined in 27 CCR,Sections 20917 through 20939. The owner/operator of the North County Landfill submitted the required updated plans and the plans were approved on October 20,2008. The compliance date for the implementation of the approved plans is October 18,2009.
