If prohibited materials are found in commercial <br />customer's vehicles, the customer is notified that they may not remove the material from the <br />North County facility. The customer is asked to remain on site with the material and contract with <br />a hauler licensed to remove those prohibited materials. <br />If prohibited material is discovered after the vehicle which delivered the material has left the <br />premises, Recycling Center staff places this material in a double -containment storage locker for <br />temporary storage. A licensed hazardous waste hauler for proper disposal then transports these <br />materials off-site. <br />7.4.2 Fire Control <br />Fires within the Recycling Center are controlled primarily by prevention: loads containing ashes, <br />which are likely to also contain burning embers, are excluded from the floor. In addition, water <br />misting for dust suppression also reduces the potential for fires. <br />The primary, method of fire control within the Recycling Center is temperature -sensitive sprinkler <br />system and fire alarm. In case of fire, the sprinklers activate and the local fire department is <br />alerted. This system is tested annually by the Fire Department. Flow to the sprinkler system is <br />verified quarterly by facility staff. <br />Other firefighting equipment includes fire hoses and fire extinguishers are located at each <br />corner within the Recycling Center to quench a fire if it occurs. In an extreme case, a water truck <br />can be brought into the Recycling Center to provide additional water. <br />7.4.3 Dust Control <br />Dust is controlled within the Recycling Center by a sprinkling system in the ceiling. <br />7.4.4 Vector Control <br />Vector (primarily rodent) control is provided by the maintenance of rodent traps within the <br />Recycling Center. It is not possible to retain the Recycling Center free of rodents at all times due <br />isto the receipt of rodent -laden refuse bins. <br />North County RC&SL <br />Joint Technical Document <br />Page 55 of 69 Public Works/Solid Waste <br />County of San Joaquin — February 10, 2010 <br />
