i Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.E-9 ' Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project covered work areas, soil excavation areas, and soil stockpile areas where fugitive dust ' may exist. • Existing fire protection facilities would be maintained to the satisfaction of the Lathrop— ' Manteca Fire Protection District. • Dust exposure of site workers would be monitored periodically, at the discretion of the landfill manager,to evaluate if any additional respiratory protection or dust suppression (watering)mitigation is needed. • Additional engineering controls would be implemented by the site operator, if needed based on the evaluation of the site health and safety or operations manager,to control f dust emissions. Such controls might include wind screens near unloading areas or the use of dust suppressants. • If the above controls cannot reduce employee dust exposure below acceptable levels as determined by Forward Landfill (considering factors including irritation and annoyance to employees), site personnel at risk would be supplied with gloves, coveralls,eye f protection and respirators,with associated training in their use. • Wastes must not leave the landfill on workers' clothing. Workers who have had direct contact with waste,or who have performed operations that may involve direct contact ' with wastes(such as equipment maintenance or asbestos handling),would wear disposable clothing or change clothing before leaving the site. The potentially contaminated clothing will be cleaned or disposed as appropriate. • To avoid cross-contamination from contaminated to non-contaminated sites, the applicant would install a pressurized water distribution system to service a decontamination facility for personnel and equipment. The decontamination facility may be fixed or mobile. Wastewater generated from the decontamination of personnel and equipment is containerized and analyzed in accordance with applicable requirements. If analytical results support compatibility with the Class II ' impoundments, a request will be submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control Board to dispose of decontamination water in the Class II surface impoundments. Upon approval in writing from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, containerized ' decontamination water will be discharged in the Class II surface impoundments. • For asbestos, a strict Asbestos-Containing Materials(ACM)handling program would be ' developed, and would include the following: a. Bagged ACM would be dumped only onto the working face of the asbestos disposal area and not onto the flat compacted landfill surface. Bulldozers would then push ' soil cover onto the working face to cover the ACM bags and will not contact the bags. b. For Forward site employees engaged in handling asbestos materials,Forward will ' implement one of the following: 1. A three-day approved asbestos workers training program
