4 <br />• Periodic visual inspection of daily dumping areas prior to bulldozing <br />to identify, isolate and extinguish smoldering debris. <br />• Landfill operators would be trained in fire fighting. <br />• Maintain fire fighting capabilities on-site, pursuant to agreement <br />between the landfill operator and the Linden -Peters Rural Fire District. <br />• No smoking would be permitted on or near the active working face. <br />• Landfill equipment would be -provided with a fire extinguisher large <br />enough to take care of small fires. <br />• Cover waste daily with soil cover. This would prevent the spreading <br />of a potential fire throughout the entire landfill. <br />• Stockpile dirt near the active face for the purpose of smothering <br />fires. <br />• Have an adequate supply of water on-site. <br />Explosions <br />In order to detect a potentially hazardous situation which could arise <br />from migrating methane gas, a methane monitoring program would be instituted. <br />The basic program would monitor methane concentrations at probes <br />installed within the buffer zone. If a hazardous condition is detected, <br />control measures such as gas extraction can be implemented within the buffer <br />zone. <br />PUBLIC HEALTH <br />Measures Proposed by Applicant <br />• A daily application of at least six inches of compacted soil on <br />top of each day's accumulation of waste should prevent fly propoga- <br />tion and emergence and also discourage rodent burrowing into the <br />waste. <br />Other Possible Measure <br />• To ensure that significant threats to public heal do not arise <br />un ked p io c inspection of the landfill conducted <br />by •G i a 1 Vector control measures should be <br />implemented at the landfill if a vector related health problem is <br />detected. <br />
