{ Project Description Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station Expansion 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, Califomia 95377 Litter Control # Litter is removed daily, including from underneath equipment and other out-of-the-way locations, by site personnel to prevent accumulated material from interfering with safe operation. A daily (at minimum) site walk by facility personnel focuses on ensuring that wind-blown litter is picked up and a clean appearance maintained. The site is surrounded by fencing as shown on the Site Plan, which prevents litter from blowing from the facility onto public roads or neighboring property. Portable litter fences may be utilized, as needed, dependent upon wind conditions and direction. Noise Control i Mobile equipment will have mufflers to minimize noise impacts. Waste processing equipment to be used at the facility meets OSHA standards for noise and safety. All employees subject to excessive noise levels will wear ear protection devices in the enclosed facility. { A noise analysis was performed for the facility as part of the EIR and no impacts were required. Employee noise exposure shall be controlled by providing proper ear protection f equipment for all employees in compliance with Cal-OSHA/Fed-OSHA. As discussed in the EIR, noise from station operations is unlikely to create a health hazard to persons f using the site or to nearby residents. As previously discussed, the closest development to the project site are two residences (mobile homes) located approximately 600 feet north of the site on the east side of MacArthur Drive. The closest residential subdivision is approximately one mile north of the site along MacArthur Drive. In addition, locating the main processing areas in the bottom of the abandoned gravel pit will reduce noise exposure outside the site boundaries. See EIR for further information on noise. Odor Control Odor controls shall consist primarily of rapid waste removal. As discussed above, refuse shall be stored at the station for no more than 48 hours. Normal storage time anticipated at the station is no more than a few hours. Minimizing waste storage at the station combined with daily sweeping and periodic wash down of the tipping floor, to eliminate residue build-up, will eliminate the source of any potential odors. A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) plan has been prepared. This SOP addresses the reduction of the generation and emission of odors from the facility. A misting system is installed within the MRF/TS building over the trailer loading area to minimize the potential of odor and dust problems. The misting system will be outfitted i` with the ability to convey an enzyme based odor neutralizer should odor become a seasonal problem during periods of extreme heat. Compost Facility: The project description for the composting facility is found in Section II of this document- it includes an Odor Impact Minimization Plan (OIMP) that is being proposed and will be incorporated into the Report of Compost Site Information as part of the Solid Waste Facility Permit revision process. 37 170.18.03 CUP Project Description 050710
