• 7.7.4 FIRE <br /> To prevent fires in landfill equipment and vehicles, Forward on-site personnel <br /> frequently remove debris and dust from undercarriages and engine compartments, <br /> and check for and repair oil and fuel leaks. Portable fire extinguishers are provided <br /> on all landfill equipment. The entrance facilities and maintenance buildings are <br /> also equipped with fire extinguishers for extinguishing any minor fires. Any fire in a <br /> waste fill area will be extinguished by landfill personnel using appropriate landfill <br /> equipment, stockpiled soil cover, and when necessary, a water truck. The fire <br /> department will be notified of any fire incident. <br /> The on-site water well and a water storage tank provide water for fire suppression. <br /> The well at the entrance facilities area has a 1,500-gpm pump that feeds four <br /> valved connection points along the northern perimeter of the existing Forward <br /> Landfill. The well at the transfer station/resource recovery facility has a 500-gpm <br /> pump that feeds a 20,000-gallon pressurized tank. Lines from the tank lead to <br /> various locations. <br /> • 7.7.5 DUST CONTROL <br /> Dust is controlled at the landfill by (1) proper maintenance of haul roads (paving, <br /> grading, and watering); (2) frequent application of fine water spray (minimum off' <br /> Z --1-� .��7ze' . <br /> t=Praif, on the active soil-covered work areas, soil excavation areas, and soil <br /> stockpile areas where conditions may result in fugitive dust; (3) application of <br /> organic dust suppressant, and (4) limiting the speed of all on-site vehicles to less <br /> than those that would cause visible dust emissions behind the vehicle. For dust <br /> control purposes, surface-water runoff or on-site well water is applied to all main <br /> access and haul roads and unpaved equipment parking areas at least once per <br /> day. All-weather surfacing will be applied to any unpaved road segment that <br /> carries 50 or more vehicle trips per day continuously for more than thirty days. <br /> fhe track-out of mud and dirt onto Austin Road is limited by having a minimum <br /> 0400-foot long paved interior road that allows mud and dirt to drop off before <br /> exiting the site and removing the mud and dirt from the interior paved road and <br /> Vustin Road on a daily basis. <br /> Drought tolerant trees and shrubs, and grasses will be used in landscaping to <br /> conform with the natural vegetation of the area.
