Landfill <br /> San Joaquin County, California <br /> EPA I.D. No. 990794133 <br /> .- The California Department of Health Services (DHS) , Toxic <br /> Substances Control Division, and the Region 9 office of the <br /> Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) request public comments <br /> regarding the draft State (DHS) and Federal (EPA) Draft Closure <br /> Plan and the proposed California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) <br /> Negative Declaration concerning the Class II-1 unit at the <br /> Forward Inc. facility. The draft DHS and EPA Closure Plan, in <br /> conjunction with the DHS proposed CEQA Negative Declaration, <br /> would grant conditional approval to allow Forward to permanently <br /> close the Class II-1 landfill unit. <br /> Forward Inc. is located on 157 acres in eastern San Joaquin <br /> County, approximately three miles east of Stockton. This <br /> facility consists of numerous landfill units and a recycling <br /> center. Waste Management Unit A (WMU A) is the only part of the <br /> facility where hazardous waste was deposited. This unit is a <br /> simple landfill, approximately eight acres, consisting of four <br /> lined trenches into which small amounts of hazardous waste was <br /> placed until October of 1984. The hazardous waste included soils <br /> contaminated with solvents, chromium, copper, lead, vanadium <br /> pentoxide catalyst, and drilling muds. <br /> The proposed draft Closure Plan details the maintenance and <br /> construction of the cap and cover system. In addition, the draft <br /> Closure Plan contains a hydroeologic assessment of the area and <br /> makes provisions for a groundwater and vadose zone <br /> (water-bearing zone above groundwater) monitoring system. If <br /> this draft Closure Plan is approved, it would meet the <br /> requirements of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations <br /> and 40 Code of Federal Regulations. <br /> The proposed Negative Declaration, required by CEQA, follows and <br /> Initial Study by DHS which identifies no significant negative <br /> impacts to people or the environment that would possibly be <br /> effected by this closure. The facility has been in existence <br /> since 1972 . The cap and cover system should insure that the <br />
