VECTORS <br /> Flies, mosquitos, and other insects (such as wasps) will not <br /> readily pass through 1211 of greenwaste, thus they cannot <br /> emerge from or enter into the garbage that has been covered. <br /> If the cover is applied properly no refuse will be left <br /> uncovered to attract animals or birds. <br /> MOISTURE INFILTRATION <br /> The greenwaste alternative cover should control water movement <br /> to minimize moisture infiltration and leachate production, as <br /> well as erosion. During the heavy rain periods, geosynthetic <br /> cover materials (Covertech C-440) would also be an alternative <br /> cover in the event greenwaste wasn't accessible at the site. <br /> The amount of moisture permeating through the Covertech C-440 <br /> material is reported to be negligible. <br /> AIR MOVEMENT <br /> The greenwaste alternate cover will restrict air movement for <br /> odor control and dispersion. The greenwaste cover will <br /> provide temporary barrier cell walls. Final barrier cell <br /> walls are provided by the soil cover used for weekly and <br /> intermediate cover (Figure 1) . <br /> FIRE <br /> The greenwaste cover material should not be considered as <br /> combustible material if chipped and used immediately after <br /> collection. Provisions for stock piling soil cover material <br /> and water dispensing equipment in the immediate area will be <br /> a requisite. <br /> LITTER <br /> By applying 1211 thick greenwaste cover at the end of each work <br /> day, the alternative cover will minimize blowing paper and <br /> litter. <br /> ODOR <br /> The alternative greenwaste cover will reduce the daily odor <br /> and the soil cover on Friday of each week will provide the <br /> required odor suppression. <br /> 5 <br />
