' 2.6.6 Fire Protection <br />' Landfill equipment and vehicles will be protected from fire by removing debris <br />and dust from undercarriages and engine compartments daily and checking for <br />and repairing oil leaks. The gate house, maintenance shop, and equipment will <br />be equipped with suitable fire extinguishers for any minor fires that may occur. <br />' Any fire on the landfill will be extinguished by landfill personnel using stockpiled <br />soil cover and, if needed, by using an on-site water truck fitted for fire fighting. <br />' 2.7 RECYCLING <br />' A major portion of the waste arriving at the landfill (61 percent in 1988) originates <br />from the California Waste Removal Systems, Inc. Transfer Station in Lodi, Calk <br />' fornia. Extensive recycling is performed at this station prior to transferring its <br />waste to the landfill. Additionally, the residential refuse collectors for the cities of <br />' Lodi and Stockton conduct recycling programs for their customers. Conse- <br />quently, recyclable materials are removed from a large portion of the waste <br />stream before the waste is delivered to the landfill. A recycling program will be <br />' established at the new landfill aimed toward removing recyclable materials from <br />the remaining portion of the waste stream. <br />The unloading area for small vehicles will be used to segregate and store in <br />metal bins, recyclable materials such as wood, aluminum, cardboard, steel, <br />glass, cans, and newspapers as the market permits. The materials will be trans- <br />' ported to markets in the bins by County vehicles. Additionally, an area will be <br />established to collect used motor oil which will be collected when economical <br />market conditions exist. <br />2.8 NOISE IMPACTS <br />The site is in a rural area. Daytime noise levels at the project site are approxi- <br />mately 40 decibels (dB) in the absence of strong winds. The primary noise <br />sources associated with the project will be traffic to and from the site and on-site <br />t landfill operations. Traffic noise conditions were modeled for the NCSL site using <br />the Federal Highway Administration traffic noise prediction model (Bary and <br />I PJ9 9390219A.00W 16 <br />Rev. 0 July 19, 1989 <br />11 <br />
