Forward Inc. Landfill Expansion Project MMRP All trucks will be tarped upon entering and exiting the facility.This policy will be strictly enforced. In accordance with San Joaquin County Ordinance No. 28870, adopted September 29, 1981 (Title 5 Health and Sanitation,Division 2. Solid Waste Collection and Disposal, Section 5-2502),tarps will be placed over open loads to avoid littering during transport of waste. Management of the daily working fill face to the smallest practical area with immediate compaction to minimize the area and debris subject to the impacts of wind. If possible,on windy days the daily fill face tipper location would be selected for its protection to minimize effects of wind(i.e.,tipper facing into wind adjacent to the leeward sidewall, or sheltered by completed fill deposits). Waste that is more susceptible to windblown distribution may,on windy days,be worked immediately into the fill face and covered with a layer of daily cover,as needed, or the waste may be excluded from the site. Portable skid-mounted litter fences may be provided for deployment downwind as close as practical to the working area, as needed. Semi-permanent fencing may be provided around the fill area as an additional barrier to the migration of litter off-site when litter has not been contained by the portable litter fences. (Examples of additional barriers include but not limited to,a four-foot minimum temporary construction fence and/or a ten-foot or higher semi-permanent fence.)The utilization will be continually evaluated and the fence will be relocated or added as needed. Permanent fencing(ten-foot high with an additional three-foot kicker)may be constructed with possibility of placement on an eight-foot high berm. On very windy days when all other procedures are not successful in controlling blowing litter, the operator may apply cover material more frequently or immediately to the incoming waste load. As a last resort due to the facility's obligation to provide continued disposal service to its clientele,the operator may consider closing down the facility to incoming waste. Buffer zones resulting from required facility setbacks along the site's perimeter will provide some protection of adjacent properties. As a final control measure,personnel will be dispatched, as needed or daily if conditions I require,to collect any litter that has escaped the above control measures. The personnel will collect litter from the facility and the facility access, as well as adjoining property,provided that the property owner allows access. If additional assistance is required beyond site personnel,temporary service agencies will be contacted. If litter is distributed by the wind into trees and bushes on facility property or adjoining properties,portable lifts may be employed to retrieve the litter. Portable litter vacuums may be used to collect litter that has accumulated on litter fences. The main highway leading to the site will be routinely inspected for litter.If the highway has litter associated with the trucks entering the facility,then the litter will be picked up on a routine basis.All necessary safety precautions will be followed.
