7 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND CONTROLS <br />6 <br />7.1. Nuisance Control <br />Nuisance is, in part, defined in Title 27 as "anything which is injurious to human health or is <br />indecent or offensive to the senses and interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life or <br />property". Operations at Foothill Sanitary Landfill are conducted to mitigate landfill nuisance. <br />The nuisance control measures employed by the facility are discussed in the following -Sections <br />67.2. Fire Control <br />The scale house, maintenance building, and lunch trailer all -have wall -mounted fire <br />extinguishers. In addition, all heavy equipment and vehicles are equipped with fire <br />extinguishers. Fire extinguishers are serviced one time per year and every time they are used <br />by Butch Young (contractor). <br />Small fires at the landfill, if they occur, are extinguished by site personnel using stockpiled soil <br />cover and, if needed, by using on-site water trucks fitted for fire fighting. Water for the water <br />trucks is supplied from the on-site well. An overhead fill is located adjacent to the well. In <br />addition, trained firefighters (Linden Fire Department) can be mobilized for larger fires, if <br />needed. <br />-Aa firebreak is maintained along <br />Waverly Road and -the entrance road to prevent fires from spreading from the road to the <br />landfill (Plate242). <br />The ground surface beyond the landfill is grazed annually by cattle, which reduces the potential <br />for grass fires. The surface of Module "I" was grazed during the spring of 2010 to inhibit grass <br />fires and to allow monitoring of the surface. <br />Foothill Sanitary Landfill Pacte 83 Public works/Solid Waste <br />Joint Technical Document County of San Joaquin — Revised 7/30/10 <br />
