3-10 3.2.2 Dust Control (14 CCR, Sections 17407.4 and 18221.6 ij)) In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17407.4, dust control measures are conducted at the RRF. Dust is controlled at the site by (1) use of the partially enclosed RRF building (open on one side) (2) proper maintenance of haul roads (paving, grading, oiling, and watering) and (3) by limiting the speed of all vehicles on site to 10 miles per hour. Water is the main dust control procedure used to control dust. Haulers are protected from dust by unloading from the front of the building. Dust within the RRF building is controlled by sweeping/cleaning the building floor and dust masks are provided to personnel. For dust control purposes, surface- water runoff or on-site well water will be applied to the main access road and processing areas. Approximately 100,000 gallons of water are utilized per day. No disposal or treatment of this water is required since only a minimal amount is utilized and either evaporates or is absorbed by the road or ground resulting in no run-off. The track-out of mud and dirt onto Austin Road is limited by having a minimum 120-foot long paved exit road that allows mud and dirt to drop off before exiting the site, removing the mud and dirt from the interior paved road and Austin Road on a daily basis, and use of a wheel washer. The track-out mud on Austin Road will be removed utilizing a water truck, street sweeper, and/or the wheel washer (i.e., Tracinator) dirt removal system, as needed. The wheel wash station is located along the exit road as shown on Figure 2. The wheel wash (Tracinator) station removes mud from the tires of trucks by shaking the vehicle as it drives across the steel washboard channels. In addition, the concrete basin is filled to an approximate 7-inch depth with water delivered by a water truck. As trucks drive through the wheel wash station, water in the concrete basin washes away the mud on the tires. Mud will be cleared from the wheel wash station, as needed, by filling the concrete basin with clean water and pumping the water into a holding tank. The water in the holding tank will be disposed of in accordance with WDR Order No. 135-2014-0006. A water truck with a pressurized hose will also be used to clean the basin. 3.2.3 Litter Control (14 CCR, Section 17408.1) In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17408.1, litter control is conducted at the RRF and is one of many operational concerns in the management of the RRF. Litter includes blowing papers and other materials that may become airborne and carried by the wind away from the working areas at the RRF. The operator (Forward, Inc.) is concerned with the proper management of litter and compliance with regulatory requirements for the control of blowing materials. Therefore, a Litter Management Plan has been and will continue to be implemented at the site as discussed in this section and Appendix E-1. All incoming .recyclable loads are processed and/or transferred inside the RRF building. A debris collection fence is used to catch any wind blown debris. The RRF is cleaned daily by site personnel to remove any litter on the property and minimize the possibility of off-site littering.
