Findings and Recommendations 4 findings
F1
The March 13, 2012 CalRecycle directive placed the Ukiah Landfill on its list of non-compliant sites and required the LEA to issue the March 30, 2012 Compliance Schedule. The LEA is required to follow a prescribed, progressive enforcement protocol to attain compliance.
No recommendations for this finding
F2
Both prescriptive clay caps and geosynthetic liner caps can be appropriate for closure. It is the City of Ukiah's responsibility to propose the cap design and engineer its proper installation. Oversight agencies will review the proposed design to determine its adequacy.
No recommendations for this finding
F3
City of Ukiah staff has proposed a general date of fall 2013 for the submittal of their Closure Plan and closure in summer 2014. However, the LEA has directed them to submit a revised Closure Plan several times in the past year, most recently by June 24, 2013. The LEA is concerned that continued delays will jeopardize beginning closure construction in summer 2014.
No recommendations for this finding
F5
Closure Cost estimates are developed by licensed engineers using available data. Though not exact, they should be considered reasonably accurate, not arbitrary.
