LEA Advisory 20 Attachment - Inspection Guidance for SW Landfills Page 18 of 52 Signs 17656 Identification Signs Each point of access from a public road shall be identified by a suitable sign indicating the name of the site operator. Other pertinent general information may be required by the Enforcement Agency as approved by the local land use authority. Encourage the operator to include other data such as the contract operator's name (if any), telephone number, and the words "disposal site" on the sign. This information provides easy identification for emergency vehicles and the public. 17657 Entry Signs If the site is open to the public, there shall be a sign at an appropriate point indicating the schedule of charges, hours of operation, and listing the general types of materials which either(I) WILL be accepted or(2) WILL NOT be accepted. Keep in mind that this standard is only applicable if the site is open to the public. The data on these signs should be checked for consistency with the data in the SWFP and RDSI. Security 17658 Site Security The site shall have a perimeter barrier or topographic constraints designed to discourage unauthorized entry by persons or vehicles. Areas within the site where open storage or ponding of hazardous materials occurs shall be separately fenced and properly identified to create an adequate level of security, unless the daily deposition of wastes is conducted under adequate supervision during the site operating hours and provided said wastes are covered by the end of the daily site operations. Gates should be locked after operating hours. Damaged fencing should be repaired. Separate fencing and warning signs are strongly recommended for areas designated for septage or sewage sludge. If sites are open continuously (24 hours), gates and ponds must be kept under surveillance by site attendants. The inspector should look for signs of illegal entry such as tire tracks which enter the facility at the site perimeter. Roads 17659 Access Roads Access roads shall have a reasonably smooth surface designed to minimize the generation of dust and the tracking of material onto adjacent paved public roads. Such roads shall allow vehicles utilizing the site to have reasonable all-weather access to the site. Access roads should be built so that vehicles using the road do not generate excessive dust which would obscure visibility. In addition, vehicles should not "bottom out" (scrape the vehicle http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/pe/advisory/20/attach20/20attch l.htm 8/11/98
