CALIFORNIA WASTE REMOVAL DRAF17 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PLAN The purpose of this Monitoring and Reporting Plan is to ensure the mitigations of various impacts due to the expansion project are properly accommodated and handled to reduce the impact to the surrounding environment. An annual report containing all monitoring results will be complied at the end of one year to review and assess the mitigation measures outlined in this plan. This report is written in accordance with the requirements of Assembly Bill 3180 for the monitoring of mitigations documented in the Environmental Impact Report for the California Waste Removal, Inc. Transfer Station and Recycling Center. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ACT: Noise MITIGATION: It may not be practical to bring noise into compliance due to the large amount of heavy equipment and truck.activity that takes place in selected areas of the site. Mitigations for on- site operation will be done pursuant to personal hearing protection under OSHA requirements. Mitigations to reduce off-site effects include all of the following: 1) Construct a 12-foot high noise berm or barrier with no openings between the parking- storage yard and mobile home park. This, plus other mitigations listed herein, will reduce project induced noise levels below 60 dBA Ldn. 2) Through attrition, change the refuse truck fleet to models which have under-body exhausts and produce no more than 71-73 dBA at a distance of 50 feet while travelling at 25 mph (i.e., medium truck levels). A 5-6 dBA reduction in truck noise would make future roadway noise levels the same as the no-project levels (see Table N-4). 3) Through attrition, change to rib tread tires on the transfer and refuse truck fleet. 4) Advise truck drivers to accelerate slowlywhen westbound or eastbound at the Turner/Beckman intersection. 5) Trucks that leave between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. should beP arked furthest from the mobile home park in Parking Lot#2 on the east portion of the site. 6) Restrict activity in the vicinity of the mobile home park to the hours between 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.. 7) Construct a 10-foot high noise wall or berm surrounding the west and southwest side of the waste and metal recovery area.
