C7 <br />n <br />7.7. Litter Control <br />Litter is controlled by the use of temporary fences downwind of the working face and a <br />permanent fence along the site perimeter. All fencing, operational area, and the site in general, <br />are monitored daily for accumulated litter. The stretch of Waverly Road fronting the landfill is <br />also monitored for litter regularly. Litter is removed as soon as possible by the site staff. If <br />necessary, Foothill Landfill hires local contractors to remove litter. <br />7.8. Noise Control <br />Noise is controlled as needed to meet the County Noise Ordinance, which limits the noise <br />received at residences beyond the property boundary. Noise levels from site equipment and <br />operations are controlled by proper maintenance of mufflers and construction of berms around <br />portions of the site. The landfill is not near residences (other than the on-site residences) so the <br />potential for noise nuisance is minimal. <br />7.9. Traffic Control <br />Landfill traffic enters the site via the entrance road from Waverly Road. Signs direct traffic <br />through the scales to the active area (Figure 14). <br />The unloading area is at the active face of the landfill. Transfer vehicles, packer trucks, and <br />public vehicles are directed by a traffic director at the unloading area. The transfer and packer <br />trucks discharge their contents using hydraulic rams and traveling beds. The public vehicles are <br />directed to the designated unloading area at the active face. For safety reasons, public and <br />commercial vehicles unload in different areas of the working face. Typically, one to two traffic <br />directors assist unloading vehicles. <br />Foothill Sanitary Landfill <br />Joint Technical Document <br />Page 46 of 57 Public Works/Solid Waste <br />County of San Joaquin — Revised 7/30/10 <br />
