. f i WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS 3 FOR FOOTHILL SANITARY LANDFILL CLASS III LANDFILL SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY FACILITIES OPERATION 14. A Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program has been implemented at the Lovelace Road Transfer Station. The program consists of checking loads going through the station, which make up 93 percent of wastes disposed of at Foothill, and turning away any prohibited wastes. If prohibited wastes do get through, there are provisions for removal of the wastes from the landfill. Foothill Sanitary Landfill site personnel are trained to check for prohibited wastes as they are unloaded. 15. The Discharger's current plans indicate that the Class III landfill will reach capacity, at the earliest, by the year 2073. The total capacity of this landfill is 55 million cubic yards. 16. The Discharger has installed three ground water monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2, and LW-1). These wells are used to monitor ground water with respect to Module 1. More groundwater monitoring wells will be installed as operations proceed to other modules. WASTE MANAGEMENT UNIT DESIGN Landfill 17. That part of LF-I covered with waste prior to 9 October 1993 does not have a liner. The Discharger proposes to line any footprint expansion after 9 October 1993 with a composite clay and 60 mil high density polyethylene (HDPE) liner, overlain by a leachate collection and removal system (LCRS). Certification 18. Mr. Gabriel E. Karam, a registered civil engineer, certified that the portion of LF-1 constructed prior to 9 October 1993 meets the construction or prescriptive standards and performance goals of Chapter 15. CEQA AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 19. The action to update the WDRs for this facility is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 2100, et seq), in accordance with Title 14, CCR, Section 15301.
