the transfer station on a periodic basis and sprays a nontoxic pesticide suggested by the <br /> Department of Agriculture and the Department of Environmental Health. <br /> Although rat infestation has not been a problem at the transfer station in the past, the <br /> extermination company also sets bait and rat traps in order to exterminate unwanted <br /> rodents. The results of this activity in the past has resulted in the trapping and <br /> elimination of field mice in the vicinity of the transfer station. <br /> Odor Control Measures: <br /> The composting operation at the transfer station is well controlled by the use of <br /> monitoring moisture content and temperature and recording all information in the site <br /> computer. Frequent aeration using the Scarab aerator maximizes productivity of the <br /> composting operation. The close maintenance of the operation results in maintaining <br /> proper composting activity and little odor and impacts to sir quality. <br /> Runoff Containment Systems: <br /> The composting area is lined with concrete and properly sloped to a number of surface <br /> drains. Fifteen-inch drainage lines allow surface runoff to flow from the area to a <br /> 18,000-gallon clarifier. <br /> Leachate Monitoring: <br /> The leachate generated from the composting operation is periodically monitored by the <br /> Local Enforcement Agency. <br /> Flood Protection: <br /> The composting area is above the 100-year floodplain and the threat of flooding is <br /> unlikely. <br /> Compost Markets: <br /> The transfer station serves agricultural markets as well as city, county and state agencies <br /> including Conservation Corp, Caltrans, Forestry, and the public. <br />
