Site Health and Safety Plan Page 5 3. Site Characterization and Job Hazard Analysis 3.1 Site Characterization The Riverbank City Dump (site) is a closed solid waste disposal site (approximately two acres in size) subject to California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) regulations and is inspected periodically by the San Joaquin County Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) for compliance with applicable State Minimum Standards. The effected parcel as listed from the County of San Joaquin Assessor’s parcel map register as Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 247-260-02. The Site Characterization Work Plan (Work Plan) (dated July 2023, Revised September and November 2023) submitted to the regulatory agencies identified a proposed Solar Panel Project on the closed Riverbank City Dump (SWIS No. 39-CR-0029). The entire 657 kW project consists of one 92.365-kW carport that is to be constructed over an area that was not used as a landfill and one 565-kW ballasted ground mount array to be placed on the old landfill area. As part of this proposed solar panel project, there will be no need to remove waste from the site nor disturbance of in-place waste. The entire system would be located on the south end of the City of Riverbank Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) property and potential disposal area, north of the Stanislaus River. The WWTP is owned and operated by the City of Riverbank. The proposed work includes field work activities to be conducted as part of the investigation to: 1) determine the approximate horizontal and vertical extents of the disposal site, and 2) to characterize the content of the fill (as Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous, California Hazardous, or non-hazardous waste). 3.2 Job Hazard Analysis Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) worksheets may be used for multiple locations providing the task for each operation, hazards, and control measures are the same in each location.
