Worker health and safety could be threatened in the event such upsets occur. • • The Forward Landfill operating procedures (part of the JTD) contains the Site Emergency • Action Plan, Fire Prevention Plan,Health and Safety Plan and Hazardous Material • Management Plan that are designed to have procedures in place to deal effectively with spills, collisions, upsets, or other accidents at the landfill. The San Joaquin County Office of • Emergency Service signed off on the Forward Landfill plan. • The following procedures are proposed as part of the project: • • • The Standard Safe Work Practices listed in the Forward, Inc. Site Health and Safety • Program and Contingency Plan will be implemented by the operator. • • The landfill operator will comply with the provisions of CCR Title 27,Section 20590, which requires that O&M personnel wear and use approved safety equipment for personal heath and safety. • • Landfill access will continue to be controlled to limit unauthorized entry by persons or • vehicles. • • The landfill operator will comply with all provisions of CCR, Title 27, Division 2, • Chapter 3, Subchapter 4, Articles 1-3 that apply to landfill health and safety. These procedures also would be included in the JTD being updated by the applicant. The off-site impact is potentially significant therefore the following additional mitigation • measure is suggested: • Mitigation Measure E.3: (Same as the 2013 EIR Mitigation Measure E.3.) The San Joaquin • County Public Works Department shall approve any new waste transport haul routes to the • landfill from major arterials, SR 4, or Highway 99. • Implementation of the proposed procedures and this mitigation measure would reduce the 40 impact to a less-than-significant level because the County can direct haul trucks to avoid hazardous routes. • Impact EA: Additional landfill gas would be generated,thus increasing the potential for landfill gas hazards. (Same as 2013 EIR Impact E.4.) • Landfill gas has been reported at less than significant levels at the 28 monitoring points in the • most recent (June 2014) sampling of perimeter wells (i.e. outside of the waste) at Forward • Landfill, as indicated by the presence of methane and carbon dioxide, the two primary gases • that are generated by landfills.
