• Shut down any control system, such as the gas migration control or <br />0 treatment systems, that have been damaged during an incident. <br />• The operator will maintain a small stockpile of final cover material for <br />those events, which may require immediate cover placement to minimize <br />waste releases, to repair severe cracks, or to fill in large erosion gullies. <br />The general types of equipment and materials that should be available for <br />emergencies include a cellular phone, first aid kit, air supplies, fire <br />extinguisher, final cover material, and sandbags. All action steps for the <br />following emergency procedures, should be done in as short a time period as <br />possible to prevent adverse health and safety affects to the public. <br />The following procedures will be followed during incidents of fire and/or <br />explosions: <br />• Contact the Manteca Fire Department, even if on-site capabilities are <br />deemed adequate to extinguish fires or control future explosions. On-site <br />landfill personnel will be instructed to follow the Fire Department's <br />directions and give their full cooperation. <br />• In the event of an off-site fire near the landfill, such as a brush fire, the <br />operator will lend its personnel and equipment, if available, to the Fire <br />Department to fight the fire. <br />• Temporarily shut down the gas control system to avoid further chance of <br />explosion. <br />• The fire will be extinguished and the effects of the fire or explosion will be <br />mitigated. <br />If the site's existing stormwater diversion berms are inadequate in diverting <br />flood waters away from the site, the following procedures will be followed: <br />• Additional berms may be constructed in areas prone to flooding. <br />• If additional berms are ineffective, the operator may cut a diversion <br />channel to avoid inundation of the refuse cell. <br />• Sandbags may be used in conjunction with berms or diversion channels. <br />Forward Landfill FPCPCMP 5-3 <br />Z:\PROJECTS\Allied Waste\Forward\Reference Files Prior JTD\June 05 Stage IA Partial FCPCMP\FL-sec 5.doc: 6/16/2008 <br />
