LITTERCONTROL Project related increase in vehicle and truck traffic to and from the transfer station may contribute to an increase of local litter problems in the vicinity of the site. However, all hauled waste is to be covered in accordance with State Vehicle Codes. Both the County Sheriff's Department and State Highway Patrol have the authority to issue traffic violations for any vehicle or truck determined to be hauling uncovered waste. In addition, inspectors at the transfer station are also authorized to charge double fees for any vehicles that arrive at the station with uncovered loads. These existing measures, combined with enclosing the transfer operation within a building and the County's continual roadway maintenance activities serve to reduce potential litter control problems to a less than significant level.
