3.3.3 Standby Equipment Describe available standby equipment that will assure ongoing compliance with the State Minimum Standards (14 CCR, Section 18227(e)). If standby equipment is not available onsite, provide an up-to-date list of firms who can supply replacement units. Forward continually evaluates the need for additional equipment for facility's operations. For situations that require standby, specialized, or additional equipment, Forward first utilizes available equipment from the landfill's operation. If this equipment is not available, Forward will lease/rent and/or contract the appropriate equipment from local contractors or suppliers located within an approximate 20-mile radius of the site. Forward has established contract agreements with the following local contractors and suppliers: • Holt Brothers Charter Way, Stockton • John Deere Charter Way,Stockton • J & M Equipment Charter Way, Stockton • Case Power and Equipment Charter Way, Stockton 3.3.4 Housekeeping Describe procedures for housekeeping which will minimize accumulations of fuel drums, parts, inoperable equipment, tires, scrap and similar items and availability of storage areas that are reasonably screened from outside the facility boundary. Housekeeping is accomplished by permanent employee duty assignments with daily inspections to assure compliance. The RRF/Compost Facility does not accept, or maintain, fuel drums or tires. The parts are stored in a trailer on the south side of the RRF building. All of the equipment at the RRF/Compost Facility is needed for RRF/Compost Facility operations. All inoperable equipment is promptly repaired. All scrap metal is salvaged. Loose materials and litter cleanup is performed on a regular basis. The RRF/Compost Facility is screened from Austin Road on the south and west sides by a 5-foot high vegetated earthen berm. 3.4 Materials Handling Activities 3.4.1 Confined Unloading Describe procedures for ensuring confined unloading.
