April 8, 2014 <br />Current Status: Forward is not currently treating VOC contaminated soils. <br />VOC contaminated soils are disposed directly into appropriate waste <br />management units and covered as part of daily cover operations. <br />Proposed Part of the Project: <br />Use a total of 17 pieces of equipment (at any given time) over the life of <br />the project to minimize particulate discharge. As shown in Table IV.E-1 (of <br />the EIR) the risk from particulate—and specifically diesel fumes—was <br />lessened for the project versus the baseline conditions is the existing 28 <br />pieces of diesel powered landfill operating equipment to be changed out <br />every 5 years at Forward and every 10 years at Austin would be changed <br />to using a total of 17 pieces of equipment over 15 -year or less <br />replacement scenarios. <br />Current Status: Forward limits operations to seventeen pieces of diesel <br />powered landfill operating equipment at any given time. <br />u. 35 (E.4) <br />Proposed as Part of the Project: <br />Where required by State and Federal regulations, the landfill gas <br />monitoring, gas control and collection system will be installed, extending to <br />the new areas of the expanding landfill and operating in conformance with <br />applicable regulations. <br />The existing gas extraction system, or an equivalent system, will continue <br />to operate. <br />Regular gas monitoring will be conducted to prevent explosive or toxic gas <br />accumulation in onsite buildings or beneath temporary buildings. The <br />landfill operator will install an automatic combustible gas detection and <br />alarm system for structures at the site. <br />Current Status: Forward has installed landfill gas monitoring and control <br />systems in accordance with State and Federal regulations and expanded these <br />systems in 2013. The existing landfill gas extraction system has also been <br />maintained. A new Landfill Gas to Energy Facility was constructed in 2013 <br />in the northeast- corner of the site, adjacent to the existing flare. Routine <br />landfill gas monitoring is performed to prevent explosive or toxic gas <br />accumulation in onsite buildings or beneath temporary buildings. Automatic <br />combustible gas detection and _alarm -systems have been installed in_ onsite <br />structures: <br />Page 38 <br />
