The County may purchase tower lighting, if needed. The tower lighting systems will <br /> be portable, and will be provided with dedicated generators. <br /> e. Fire Fighting Equipment <br /> The proposed Station renovation will include the installation of a booster pump and <br /> fire water storage tank for fire suppression sprinkler systems and standpipes in the <br /> buildings and the installation of fire hydrants throughout the Station. The locations <br /> of proposed hydrants are shown on Drawing RSI-8. Locations of proposed fire hoses <br /> in the Transfer Building are shown on Drawing RSI-3. <br /> The construction plans for the Station must receive final approval from the Manteca- <br /> Lathrop Fire District (MLFD), the County Building Department, and meet applicable <br /> fire codes. The design must segregate the supply system for fire protection from the <br /> supply for other uses such as irrigation, sanitary, and drinking supply. <br /> A copy of the MLFD notification of final approval of the design plans will be <br /> forwarded to the EHD in the future, when available. <br /> f. Protection of Users <br /> A major feature of the Station renovation will be the construction of the Transfer <br /> Building. The building will have a depressed tipping floor elevation relative to the <br /> Non-Automated Disposal (4 feet) and Automated Disposal (8 feet) floors. This <br /> difference in elevations, as shown on Drawing RSI-3, will isolate the handling of <br /> waste on the tipping floor from the site users in both the Non-Automated Disposal <br /> and Automated Disposal areas. Both areas will be on raised concrete foundations <br /> which will supply walls that will prevent handling equipment from contacting site <br /> users. The Non-Automated Disposal side is provided with an 8 foot wide sidewalk <br /> curb and 4 foot raised height differential from the Tipping Sorting Floor. The <br /> Automated Disposal side is provided with wheel sops and an 8 foot raised height <br /> differential from the Tipping/Sorting Floor. <br /> g. Safety Equipment <br /> The CSWD has work rules that require all operational personnel within the work <br /> areas of the Station to wear the following safety equipment: <br /> • Hard hats <br /> • Hard sole shoes <br /> • Bright colored safety vests <br /> • Safety glasses <br /> • Gloves. <br /> In addition to this equipment, the County provides employees that are exposed to <br /> loud noise with hearing protection (ear plugs or hearing protectors). Dust masks are <br /> available to workers in the tipping/sorting floor area. <br /> 07549001.012 40 September 23,1993 <br />
