used to evenly spread the PGM. The operator will take adequate steps to ensure that the PGM will not be exposed to the elements for more than 21 days. Odor and moisture infiltration are also addressed by utilizing 100 percent soil cover on days proceeding non-operational days. If more green material comes in than is required for the day, the material is stockpiled onsite and processed and used, as needed. Green material is processed within 7 days. Geosynthetic Blanket and Panel Products (Tarps): During daily landfill operations, the size of the working face will be maintained at a size five (5) to ten (10) feet smaller for each dimension as compared to the size of the ADC panel total area. When more than one panel is utilized, they will be overlapped a minimum of three feet and secured. After properly compacting the waste, the tarp is placed over the exposed refuse. The panel(s) is (are) placed on the exposed refuse face in the evening. Three staff are required to place the tarp(s). A dozer is used to raise the tarp in the air and then two laborers unroll and position the tarp. The current tarp size is approximately 8,000 square feet (80 x 100 feet). The tarp(s) is (are) anchored along the edges and across the center. The ADC will be removed the following morning in the same manner and stored away from the active face. The same number of staff are utilized to remove the tarp. A dozer is used to hold the tarp in place and two laborers then re-roll the tarp. The tarp will be removed within 24 hours and the exposed waste will either be covered with new waste, ADC or soil cover. Securingthe he Synthetic Tara. The tarp will be secured with either soil, sandbags, tires or other heavy items, which have no sharp edges. Depending on site conditions tires, sandbags, or other similar items will be placed in a grid pattern over each panel and along the overlap between panels to prevent movement or uplifting. Walking over the material will be minimized to limit potential damage to the cover. The area will be inspected to make sure that refuse is completely covered. Soil will be used for any areas beyond the limits of the tarp. Removal of the Synthetic Tarp. At the start of each operating day, the cover will be inspected for signs of damage that might have occurred during the night. Any damage or excessive wear will be reported to the Site Manager and appropriate repairs made in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and Forward landfill JTD 6-9 J:\Allied\Forward\JTD Amendment\january 2007 JTD AmendmentUTD Sec 6 Final.doc: 5/22/02;Rev. 1:7/2002:Rev.2:4/2003;Rev 3:6/2003;Amendment No. 1:2/1/2007 BRYAN A.STIRRAT 6 ASSOCIATES
