<br />operation. Quantities of waste handled per day were two loads of mixed refuse, two loads of
<br />cannery waste, and three loads of pits. The depth of fill was two feet. At this point it is
<br />unclear as to the actual footprint of the waste disposal operation site, although because the
<br />site was operated as a gravel mining pit, that any filling of the pit to grade would constitute
<br />non-native materials (solid waste or soil and rock). Thus far it has been determined that the
<br />Snyder site was closed in 1960, per Robert McClellon, County of San Joaquin, Public Health
<br />Services, Environmental Health Division, and subsequently sold in various sized parcels. It
<br />is also unclear as to the length of time that waste disposal operations occurred (although it
<br />is suspected that filling of the pit began after operation as a gravel pit (1940) and ended
<br />before the time the property was subdivided (1960)).
<br />Bill Lane IDS
<br />The Bill Lane Illegal Disposal Site is currently owned by Franklin Atkins, etal. The mailing
<br />address is 196 Tiffany Circle, Ripon, CA 95366. The property is 10 acres in size and is
<br />generally square in shape. The site is bounded by the Lynch IDS on the north, Santa Fe
<br />Road on the east, private property on the south, and the Santa Fe Rail Road on the west.
<br />The site is poorly graded with inadequate drainage control. Along the western perimeter,
<br />there are mounds of covered waste which have trenches dug into them and that show
<br />evidence of construction and demolition waste. Additionally, there is evidence of yard waste
<br />near the center of the property.
<br />Lynch IDS
<br />The Lynch IDS is currently owned by Delta Funding, LTD, PTP, C/O Cal State Home Loans,
<br />P.O. Box 7636, Stockton, CA 95207. The property is 16.08 acres in size. It is triangular in
<br />shape, with the apex at the northern point. The site is bounded by Santa Fe Road on the
<br />east, by the Bill Lane IDS on the south, and by the Santa Fe Rail Road on the west. The site
<br />is poorly graded with inadequate drainage control. A trench has been dug along the
<br />southern and eastern boundaries and across the northern apex point. Investigation of the
<br />site shows evidence of the following waste types: camper shell molds, spoils of municipal
<br />solid waste and peach/apricot pits within the trench, wood piles, 55 gallon drums,
<br />construction and demolition debris, bumed tires, and a bum pile of rubbish, with the
<br />appearance of fiber glass, and metals.
<br />Beard Property
<br />The Beard property is owned by Jon W. Beard, mailing address is P.O. Box 739, Empire,
<br />CA, 95319. The property is 10.00 acres in size. It is generally square in shape, with a
<br />joggled boundary line on its eastern border. The property is bounded by the Lynch IDS on
<br />the north, private property and a segment of Santa Fe Road on the east, private property on
<br />the south, and the Santa Fe Rail Road on the west. The site is poorly graded and generally
<br />flat with inadequate drainage control. The northern most portion of the property is strewn
<br />with shards of glass, metal, crushed asphalt, and concrete. Per, Robert McClellon, LEA for
<br />San Joaquin County, there were mounds of dirt that were excavated to a generally level
<br />topography. It is believed that the mounds consisted of solid waste materials.
<br />Note that further investigation may reveal the presence of other types of waste in the sites
<br />above.
