6.1.3 Site Security and Access The landfill site is secured by a barbed wire or chain link perimeter fence and a main entrance gate at the north side of the facility. This gate is locked when the site is not attended. The Employee/Maintenance, recycling center, scalehouse, and pumphouse are equipped with alarm systems including burglar and fire alarms. If an alarm is tripped, a contracted alarm company (presently Alamo Alarm) receives the notification. Other security firms, or other security arrangements, may be used in the future at the County's discretion. The contract alarm company responds to a fire alarm by calling the Linden Fire Department and the County. In the event of a burglar alarm, Alamo calls the sheriff and the County. The County has supplied Alamo with a County list of County personnel and contact numbers. The personnel are called in the order that they are listed on the organization chart. Access to the site is along the paved entrance road shown on the Site Plan (Plate 2). Security within the Recycling Center also includes monitoring by video cameras focused on 40 strategic locations. 6.1.4 Ancillary and Other Site Facilities Ancillary and other site facilities include the Recycling Center, the administration offices, pump house and water tank, and wood waste processing facility (Plate 2). An access road extends to the fill areas. A perimeter road extends to all monitoring facilities. 6.1.5 Sanitary Facilities Permanent restrooms are located in the Employee/Maintenance Building and in the scale house. The restrooms in the Employee/Maintenance Building are equipped with sinks and showers. The restroom in the scale house is equipped with a sink. The wastewater from the permanent restrooms is discharged into an on-site septic tank, from which it flows to a septic field (Plate 2). In addition, there are several portable toilets located throughout the site for use by employees, contractors, and the public.
