Kelly Stalker, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, Post Office Box 158, Samoa, California 95564 or Mr. Jan Pluim, Post Office Box 629, Red Bluff, California 96080. There are three state a,genc es which are primarily responsible for approval of this project. Those agencies are: The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Solid Waste Management Board and the California Division ,of Forestry. The Butte County Environme0tal Health Department is the local enforcement agency for this type of permit, 1(b); The capa250 city co.f.ythe three disposal sites is calculated to be p Y is estimated that the disposal sites can be utilized over an 8 year _period at an average rate of 500 cubic yards of material 'per week. If a "largenumber of breakdowns occur at the hardboard plant, th,&sei gllt year period would be reduced a proportionate amount. The nine acres of land to be used for landfill represent about 7.8 percent of the total acreage of 115 acres, change3in)gro nd st�rfacelreliefct would featurescover three gullies. This is not considered to be signi- ficant as latlg as an Ulternate means to handle the drairiage is designed and succe:s.s;y, ly e,mp-l.oye.d... , One of the waste discharge re- quirements of the Regional Water Quality Control t.�Iard will be that all drainage presently flowing through the thtiee Jullies 11nust be diverted. Diversion ditches are to be constructed which are capable of handling the runoff from,a 5.5 inch rainfall in 24 hours, the maximum for the Oroville area.. The annual 'rainfall for t'he OP,6vi l`le area is normally about 25 inches though this year's totai'may be well over 30 inches 1(e): Them is a moderate erosion potential in this area. Erosion control will be provided by the diversion ditches and other condlitions of the permit approval. The, other'major, concerns besides erosion control are leachate control and the landfill cover (material and fvejucoty). 1(g) Tho soils in this area are Redding gravelly sari, loam. These soils can be higrnly expansive with sufficient moisture. Another potential geologic hazard is from earthquakes. The project site is in the aftershock epicenter region of the August 1975 darth,qua,ke. 2(a) Some dust will be created by the trucks v,,hith haul material to the site, from operation of the bulldozers andffrom wind blowing the fill mateirial ; The water truck on the site should be employed as needed for dust control on windy days as well as for fire protection. 3(e): According to Lynn Vanhart of the Butte County Cnvi ronmen'tal Health Appendix F page 7a of 8 Department, wateriggi ng;' down through the fi i l material is not, expected to cause a problem from leachates. However, water quality will iye mon`Itored by strategically -placed monitoring devices Soil tests har been done for the gullies; the roil depth tests were favorable for the proposed use. Excavation of cover material from the sides and bottoms of the gullies should stop before reaching 't.he sandstone layzr beneath the soil, clay and gravel layers. habitat 5(d): The, project will result in the loss of >wild.life/in the area, primarily consisting of birds and various rodents, wi 11 be di sp'l aced to adjacent habitats which may in turn cause the carrying capacities of those niches to be exceeded. The disruption of wi l d11 fe i's not considered. a si gni fi cant factor in 'this case; it is doubtful -the wildlife Will readily adapt to the landfill operation. 6(a): Some moire will be generated during the operation of the landfill sire. The hours of operation are slated as 7 a.m. to 5 p.m':, five days a week. The project site is in an area with other'ineitlltrial uses and few residences. The main noise impact will be on those°, workers on-site during its operation. The 'Western Pacific Railroad at the Western boundary of the landfillsite is a primary noise source in 'the vicinity. Noise levels Within 100 feet, %00 feet and 400 feet of the railroad when a train is passing are estimated at 74 dB (decibels), 69.dB and 64 dB re-, spective1y uetCounty ral lan desentl otlsid. ity residential asthe longteruse for agoo�portion ofheteResidcntal uses and razing will be possibilities once the landfill site has been Utilized ?about eight Years) and reclamation of the land is complete.

A Water truck maintained on the site, fire extinguishers, the maintenance of a fire break and possibly, the development of a well for supplementa_i fire protection are some of the preliminary measures suggested. 14(f): The Butte County 51iv'irohmental Health pepartmeil will be responsible for monitoring the opPratiotn along with the responsible :"state agencies. pines can be levied if compliance is ?lot atta-il`ied for specified condi tions of approval, 15(b): Pacific Gas and Electric Company is exploring the feasibility of power generation from the Wood wastes of Louisiana-Pacific's Orovilie plant. If this prO ect "Materializes, the landfill site life would be extended Well beyond the estimated eight year period. Appendix F page ib of a 16(e), 17(a); The operation of the landfill operation should not rredte any health hazards as long as the applicant complies With the conditions of the various responsible agencies. The Solid Waste Management Plan for Butte County dated December 1975and amended recently will need to be ,approved by the County of Butte and the incorporated cities within th`O county prior to issuance of the Solid Wast Facility Permit for this pro- ject.

Some possible and planned measures include. - a. Storage of •fi 1 r material other than in the three gullies should be restricted to a temporary basis,. b. The; cover material should be placed over the fill material at least every three days, but more often if weather Condit aPs (moderate to high wi-nds or heaver precipitation) or the amount of wood wastes added to a disposalsite warrant a shorter cover frequency. C. Reclamation of the 'landfi i l site should procee„d as soon as the first disposal site has been filled.

This proposed landfill is a Class 11--2'site to be used for tile disposal of. Class 2 and 3 waste from Louisiana-Pacific Corporation's Orovl.11e operations. The fill material will consist of wood waste, Llr.`gely bark, shavings and sawdust, and some log deck cleanup containing rock and d.rt:. The site covers 1,15 acres and contains three small gullies where the actual landfills will be located. Each gully will be filled i.tj success- ion before moving into the next arp. At some future date there is a passibility of establishing a trench and fill operation on the pastern half of the property. The proposed landfills will, be operated in the same manner in each gully. An engineering drawing has een prepared for the first two areas designated as sites 1 and 2 :on the attached map. A eriwing will be submitted for site 3 prior to commencing operations in that area. This will be several: years hence The fill materialwill be rayed down in five foot layers with an intervening six inch soil layer to conform to the Department of Forestry regulations Cover material will be excavated from the walls of the: gullet' which i,nct'eases its capacity. Filling operations will commence at the head of each gully and progress downward toward the mouth. Fill material will be placed on the active face of the landfill and then when a sufficient.quant.ty has been deposited, worked into the required la -,Vers with n bulldozer. The material will be covered every few days, and during the winter, the area Of exposed ,fill will, be kept to a minimun. 'to prevent leachate formatio t. The amount of material to be placed in this landfill can vary widely, however, it is estimated it will average 100 cubic dards per day, Normally the shavings produced at the Orovill.e sawmill are used in the adjacent hardboard plant. If mechanical problems occur causing a shutdown of the hardboard plant; it will be 'necessary to place shavings in the landfill on a short- term OMetLdency basis. This could amount to 500 yards per day. Sawdust is used by local farmers unless it becomes tub wet for thein to haul over their roads. A4 The normal hours of operation for this landfill will be 7 aim. to 5 p m. y five days per week i3 No separation of waste will take plate 'prior to their placement in the landfill, The woods,+ante wilt be hauled Ezom rheOroville mill site to tho landfill and distributed and covered with h bulldozer Maintained on the site.

Test hopes were dug with a backhoe in the mouth of the gullies. These indicated approximately two feet of topsoil underlain by two to four; feet of clay and course rucks beneath which is clayey sandstone. Soils on the sides of the gullies consisted of approximately two ,feet of topsoil beneath which is three feet of cemented gravel. 'uttderl.ain by sandstone,. This formation is generally impervious to water. No ground water was encountered in the area. No excavation will occur, below the natural bottom of the gullies involved. X. The attached drawing 'shows the location of diversion ditches and monitoring control devices Diversion ditches have been sized to carry runoff from a maximum 24-hour rainfall. information provided by the Department of Water Resources gives this as 5.51 inches for the Qrovil.le area. The watershed of .aite 1 is 23 acres and of site 2 is 20 acres. The maximum runoff hard been calculated at 5,3 cfs and 4.6 eft 'respectively. A ditch 12 �r 18 inches is aleluate to carry this 'volume of runoff.. Since two perimeter Glitches are involved around the fill site, runoff will be divided unequally 'uet«acn the two sites. Neither ditch will be carrying the full runoff. In the case of site 1, the full runoff from the watershed will.-never reach the fill area, i,n any case, because: of its interception by the Southern Pacific Railroad line; Xl. Leachate generation is not anticipated due to the moderate rainfall in the area 'and the fact that the fill is °khpt covered`as operations progress. A leachate monitoring; basin will be maintained downgr=ade from the active facc of the fill.. Should leachate be developedi it will be pumped out of p ttn6 basin for disposal it an environmentally acceptable manner. Smaller Oantities•of leachate, which is all that would be anticipated) could be pumped back up on to the fill itself for disposal.. Any monitoring for this fill site will be established by the Regional. Water Quality Control Board when they set their waste discharge requirements £or this particular operation.. dill.
