' 1.20dors Identified Through Self-Inspection 1.2.1 The primary objective of the Forward Landfill OCBMPP is to identify and mitigate odors from the facility before the odors can have an impact on the local community, i.e., to eliminate odor complaints. This is accomplished through the use of self-inspections. The self-inspection process is mandatory for ail Republic facilities. 1.2.2 Self-inspection will be performed on a weekly basis by the Operations Supervisor, General Manager, or Area Engineer, or their designees. It consists of one or more of these individuals touring the facility specifically to identify odors. The results of the inspection will be documented on the form provided in Appendix A. Any odors identified through self- inspection will be mitigated in accordance with the guidance for mitigation provided later in this Forward Landfill OCBMPP. An odor crossing the property boundary is the criteria for mitigation, i.e., if the individual performing the self- inspection is standing on the property boundary and an odor from the facility can be detected, then mitigation of the odor is required. 2.0 ODORS IDENTIFIED BY OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT REPUBLIC EMPLOYEES 2.1 If the Forward Landfill OCBMPP is not implemented or is poorly implemented, then the primary goal of mitigating odors before odors can impact the local community will not be achieved. When this happens, it is inevitable that odor complaints will be generated. All odors brought to the attention of the facility management by individuals other than Republic employees must be investigated and documented. 2.2 Upon receipt of an odor complaint, the following actions will be taken: 2.2.1 Upon receipt of an odor complaint, the complaint should be investigated by the site manager, operations manager or Area Engineer. 2.2.2 If the complaint is made verbally and the odor is ongoing, the complaint should be investigated immediately. The investigation should include interviewing the complainant, completing the form in Appendix B, and immediately visiting the site of the alleged odor. During the visit to the site where the alleged odor was noted, the Republic employee investigating the odor will try to verify the existing the odor.
