collected, the litter is transported to the landfill. Litter caught in the fences is evaluated daily and removed as necessary. 6. Forward will remove litter from the neighboring properties where access has been granted by the property owner. This would include litter that is caught by tree limbs. Forward will use the method (e.g., a litter extension pole) that is most effective and has the least amount of impact to the property. 7. A portable litter vacuum is also available to aid in litter collection. The vacuum can be used to collect litter that has accumulated on litter fences and for efficient litter removal between windrows. 8. The public/main roads leading to the facility will be inspected for litter on a daily basis. Litter is collected as far north as the intersection of Austin Road and Arch Road, and as far south as French Camp Road and Austin Road on a daily basis. All litter is collected along this section of the road. All necessary safety precautions must be followed in the litter collection program. 9. The operator will also take photos of the litter before and after when there is an excessive amount of offsite litter. 10. It should be noted that Forward has recently planted poplar trees along the eastern and western boundaries of the RRF. The trees are expected to grow at a rate of approximately seven feet per year to a total height of approximately 60 feet and are spaced sufficiently close to provide an effective barrier along the perimeter. Forward considered a 13-foot high perimeter fence, but felt the trees would be more aesthetic, limit dust transport, act as a barrier for litter, and allow for air mixing and odor dispersal. 11. Forward currently documents illegal dumping that occurs around or near the facility prior to clean up and documents spills and accidents that occur at or near the facility. 12. All incoming recyclable loads are processed and/or transferred inside the RRF building. A debris collection fence is used to catch any windblown debris. The RRF is cleaned daily by site personnel to remove any litter on the property and minimize the possibility of off-site littering. 13. The site phone number (as listed below) is manned from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. All other times, the contracted security company will be available by phone to alert Forward personnel of any issues. A sign is posted at the facility entrance with this information and will be kept up-to-date. In addition, the operator can deliver a flyer to local residents along Austin/Newcastle Roads between Arch and French Camp Roads with this contact information, as well as when changes occur to this contact information. z:\projects\allied waste\forward\resource recovery facility\.5 yr permit rvw 2013-14\tpr 2014\appendices\app a-1-litter management plan.doc Page 2 of 3
