California Waste Management Board <br />December 21, 1988 <br />Page 3 <br />SECTION 17682 - Cover <br />A minimWm of 6 inches of daily cover is placed on the incoming refuse at the end of each <br />day's operation. The cover is taken from native material which has been stock piled on <br />site specifically for this purpose. As each new trench is dug the excavated material is <br />stock piled and used for daily cover. A John Deere 860 scraper is used for this operation. <br />Back-up equipment is per the previously described arrangement with Axeland Excavators. <br />Our site operator supervises this operation to ensure that it is satisfactorily accomplished <br />before the site is closed for the night. <br />Periodic inspections of the soil stock pile are made by the site operator to ensure that an <br />adequate supply of cover material is maintained at all times. <br />Weekly inspections of the landfill are conducted by the site operator to ensure that there <br />are no areas of waste protruding through the intermediate cover. Any area of the fill that <br />will not receive additional refuse for within 180 days is covered with a minimum of 12 <br />inches of cover so that there is no protruding waste. Areas of insufficient cover are <br />corrected by placing additional cover as necessary. <br />Flies are generally not a problem at the site since food processing wastes are not <br />accepted. There are however Isolated instances when small amounts of food wastes are <br />mixed with the waste In commercial drop boxes. When this occurs the waste is covered <br />immediately to prevent an attraction for flies, We are not aware of food type wastes until <br />the waste has been dumped. The equipment operators have been trained to be alert for <br />this type of waste and to cover it immediately with other waste or clean soil. <br />In addition to the procedures outlined above, we are currently working with the LEA and <br />CWMB on our 5 year permit review. The revised permit will Include much of this <br />Information. <br />Our engineers are in the process of preparing a master plan for the continued operation <br />and subsequent closure of the site. <br />
