Foothill Sanitary Landfill Page 39 of 53 San Joaquin County DPW - Solid Waste Joint Technical Document Revised 6/09/2020 either the Lovelace Material Recovery Facility & Transfer Station or to the North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill, where it is combined with similar materials collected at those sites, and shipped to an offsite vendor for recycling/proper disposal. Depending on the quantities collected at Foothill Landfill and at the other two sites, electronic waste may be transported directly to the off-site vendor. • Tires are segregated from the waste stream and stored onsite prior to shipping to an offsite vendor for recycling/disposal. • White goods (appliances) are diverted from the waste stream and stored onsite. The landfill operator contracts with a vendor who comes onsite to remove the Freon and other hazardous constituents from various appliances. Once all the hazardous constituents are removed the white goods are shipped to an offsite recycling facility. • Dewatered Sludge is known to accelerate decomposition at landfills, and increase methane production for power generation. Although the County currently does not accept dewatered sludge, it may elect to do so in the future. The Foothill Landfill’s Module 1 and all future Modules will be equipped with a leachate collection and removal system. The County will adhere to the following sludge handling operation procedures to comply with the provisions of CCR 27, Sections 20220 and 20690: The County will only accept sludge from sources that have a current EPA-503 report on file, demonstrating that the sludge is non-hazardous and contains at least 20 percent or more solids by weight. No Sludge will be accepted during wet weather. The sludge will be delivered to the site at designated times to avoid peak hours and to facilitate staging operations. The sludge will be deposited at designated areas within the lined modules, near the active face, and outside and away from the public drop-off area. Dewatered sludge will not be accepted during wet weather.
