prevent ponding on the module. Special care is taken during operations so that a slope is maintained at all times to facilitate storm water runoff. This method of grading is also used on the spoils and borrow sites. Erosion control on surfaces that have reached their near final elevation will be provided by establishing vegetation and constructing drainage berms or benches to direct storm water away from refuse fill areas to the existing storm water facilities. The temporary run-on controls for the fill area and excavation areas and run-off control is accomplished by the design of the active tipping areas and the method of daily operation. The design directs surface water in the fill area such that is can be controlled. As a part of daily operations during times of surface water runoff from Module 1, a berm is placed at the down gradient edge of the daily cell to collect surface water that might run off the exposed waste. The landfill's stormwater sampling plan conforms to their NPDES permit and Stormwater Pollution Protection Plan (Appendix N). Each year the landfill submits an Annual Storm Water Protection Report to the RWQCB. is 7.7.6. Final Surface Drainage The plan for final surface drainage is shown in the Preliminary Closure Plan in Appendix I. 7.7.7. Litter Control Litter is controlled by the use of temporary fences downwind of the working face and a permanent fence along the site perimeter. The fencing, operational area, and the site in general, is monitored daily for accumulated litter. Landfill employees monitor site and adjacent sites along Waverly Road for litter. If necessary, Foothill Landfill hires local contractors to remove litter. 7.7.8. Noise Control Noise levels from site equipment and operations are controlled by proper maintenance of mufflers and construction of berms around portions of the site. The landfill is not near residences (other than the on-site residences) so the potential for noise nuisance is minimal.
