August 28, 2009 This document presents the Winterization Plan for 2009/2010. The objective of this plan is to provide six months of operation in wet weather. Some details of this plan may be revised as needed to address conditions as they may develop as winter approaches. VITROB '• . 0 Winter refuse disposal is planned for three areas. The first area is the New Winter Pad in Module 4 (Figure 1). This winter pad is comprised of compacted and oiled road base to provide an accessible refuse disposal area when surface conditions prevent access to other areas of the landfill during the winter. Refuse will be pushed off this pad to the west and north. The New Winter Pad is intended to be the primary wet weather pad through the winter of 2009-10. The second area is the Lower Winter Pad in Module 4 (Figure 1). This winter pad is also comprised of compacted and oiled road base to provide an accessible refuse disposal area when surface conditions prevent access to other areas of the landfill. Refuse will be pushed off this pad to the south. The lower winter pad is intended to be the secondary wet weather pad through the winter of 2009-10. The third area is the Upper Winter Pad on Module 3. This pad has been available for use for several winters and is shrinking as the landfill lifts exceed 160 feet in elevation. This pad will be available for use this winter for constructing the upper lifts during wet weather. Refuse will be pushed south and west from this pad (Figure 1). Planned erosion control prevention measures include: Placement of organic material reclaimed from the windrow areas (windrow material), anti -erosion mats, seed and starter fertilizer on the southern surfaces of module 4 where existing mats are not present. On areas of this slope where existing mats are present, windrow material, seed and starter fertilizer will be placed (Figure 1). 2 The shoulder at the top of the southern slopes of Module 4 will include berms directing the surface flow to downcomer pipes. These downcomers will conduct rainwater to the base of the slope, where it will then drain into the Temporary North County Sanitary Landfill 1 San Joaquin County Public Works Winterization Plan 2008/09 Solid Waste Division
