April 8,2014 <br /> this landscaping will consist of native shrubs and trees (such as valley <br /> oak). <br /> A 6-foot high chain link fence will be constructed at the perimeter of the <br /> property to limit public access. <br /> Upon closure, the top and side slopes of the landfill will be planted with <br /> native grasses to the extent feasible. <br /> Current Status: Forward has used native or drought-tolerant trees, shrubs, <br /> and grasses where feasible given the current point in the landfill operations. <br /> As the top and side slopes of the landfill reach final grades,native or drought- <br /> tolerant trees, shrubs, grasses, and wildflowers will be planted on the final <br /> slopes and top. Working faces are minimi ed to the extent feasible. <br /> Dense screening vegetation consisting of oak trees, oleander, and onsite <br /> berms exist along Austin Road in the area of the original Forward Landfill. <br /> Current landfill operations are being performed in the former Austin Road <br /> Landfill expansion area, at least 800-ft west of Austin Road. A row of trees <br /> has been planted along Austin Road in this area. As discussed under Item 14 <br /> above,fencing exists around the entire site. <br /> (17) 84(K.4) <br /> Proposed as Part of the Project: <br /> The use of highly reflective surface materials in constructing structures on <br /> the site will be restricted. <br /> Exterior building materials will be painted or otherwise treated with muted <br /> earthtone colors. <br /> Lighting for nighttime operations at the working face and other landfill <br /> facilities shall consist of sodium lamps with sharp cutoff angles and <br /> downward shielding and, to the extent feasible, shall be oriented in a <br /> direction that is not visible from off-site locations. <br /> Current Status: The LFGTE facility was constructed in 2013 and earth-tone <br /> colors were used on the exterior of the structure. The existing onsite <br /> structures are painted in earth-tone colors. Lighting for nighttime operations <br /> consists of sodium lamps with sharp cutoff angles and downward shielding <br /> and is oriented,to the extent feasible,to not be visible from off-site locations. <br /> Identified in EIR: <br /> Implement the procedure proposed as part of the project under Mitigation <br /> Measure 37 (K.3), above: Dense screening vegetation -shall _be planted <br /> along the Austin Road boundary of the site, with sufficient height and <br /> Page 8 <br />
