1 <br />Consent Decree Exhibit C <br />materials during construction is contained on -site or directed to the leachate collection system. <br />Development surfaces, such as pavement and landscaping, will meet or exceed the <br />performance of the existing two -foot minimum soil cover in preventing surface water contact <br />with refuse. The stormwater management requirements ensure future development does not <br />create new conditions that could cause exceedance of cleanup standards. <br />The proposed cleanup action for surface water is effective long-term. Its requirements are <br />practical and employ standard practices for controlling environmental impacts to surface water <br />from development. It provides extra precautions suitable to development on a landfill. The <br />inspection, maintenance, and compliance monitoring requirements ensure long-term reliability. <br />Contingency plans are available if monitoring indicates cleanup levels are being exceeded. <br />Short-term effectiveness is also achieved by the proposed cleanup action for surface water. <br />Cleanup standards have already been met by sources from on -site. Potential off -site sources <br />contributing to cleanup level exceedances would be identified and appropriate responses <br />initiated. Construction practices ensure surface water cleanup levels are not exceeded as a <br />result of future development construction. <br />The proposed cleanup action for surface water does not permanently remove the source of <br />potential contamination (landfilled materials). But it does permanently isolate landfilled <br />materials from contact with surface water through the use of existing and future development <br />covers and lined or piped stormwater drainage ways. It also provides for inspection, <br />maintenance, compliance monitoring, and contingency plans to ensure the controls remain <br />effective over time. <br />The proposed cleanup action for surface water is readily implemented. It applies standard <br />surface water management practices that are well understood and included routinely with <br />development. Additionally, the surface water controls typically associated with landfills and <br />commonly practiced are applied. <br />The proposed cleanup action for surface water is not substantial and disproportionate to the <br />incremental increase in protection provided. <br />There are no known community concerns the proposed cleanup action does not meet. <br />The alternative "Excavate and Remove Landfilled Materials" was rejected. Because this <br />alternative was evaluated for multiple pathways, please see Section 7.9 for justification. <br />7.8.2 Provide for a reasonable restoration time frame <br />The proposed cleanup action for surface water can be implemented immediately upon approval <br />and thus meets the reasonable restoration time frame criteria. <br />7.8.3 Consider Public Concerns Raised during Public Comment on the Draft Cleanup <br />Action Plan <br />Public concerns are unknown at this time. The public has not had an opportunity to comment <br />on the draft cleanup action plan as of this date. Evaluation of the alternatives against this <br />criterion can be done after such comments are received. <br />FINAL - March 2001 7-8 Everett Landfill Tire Fire Site <br />Cleanup Action Plan <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />L <br />17 <br />u <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />U <br />r <br />1 <br />1 <br />L� <br />
