LEA Advisory 20 Attachment- Inspection Guidance for SW Landfills Page 31 of 52 Adequate drainage shall be provided If erosion occurs, it shall be promptly repaired with steps taken to prevent further occurrence. When appropriate, the RWQCB and Department of Fish and Game, should be alerted if existing drainage structures for run-on and run-off are plugged or otherwise inoperative or when substantial amounts of sediment are observed leaving the site and entering waterways. Sediment from erosion can also be harmful to fish in waterways. The adequacy of the drainage structures may be determined by comparing them with the design specified in the RDSI and/or PSR and should be verified with the RWQCB. Erosion on any area of a disposal site's fill surface that exposes waste and has not been promptly repaired should signal the inspector that the site may be in violation of this section. Also, the inspector should look for erosion in non-waste areas that undermines roads and structures causing a potential safety hazard or threatens the integrity of environmental control systems. Litter 17711 Litter Control Litter and loose materials shall be routinely collected and disposed of properly. The collection frequency shall be set with the objective of preventing the accumulation of quantities which are aesthetically objectionable or cause other problems. The Enforcement Agency shall periodically monitor the effectiveness of the litter control program. A litter violation exists if litter has blown off-site in objectionable quantities or is allowed to accumulate excessively on-site (piling up on fences, in fence corners, or on vegetation). Noise 17712 Noise Control Noise shall be controlled to prevent health hazards to persons using the site and to nearby residents. A violation of this standard should be noted if noise in any area of the permitted site is hazardous (can cause hearing damage) to persons using the site or to residents living nearby. This standard does not apply to site personnel. Concerns regarding noise hazards to site personnel should be brought to the attention of Cal/OSHA's Department of Occupational Safety and Health. Although noise standards enforced by Cal/OSHA (Table 1) apply exclusively to site personnel,Board staff recommend that these levels be referenced when making a noise hazard determination under this standard. When unsafe noise levels are suspected at a facility, the LEA may request that Board staff evaluate noise levels at the site. Measurements of noise levels will be performed with a Sound Level Meter. Note: Title 8 noise standards, enforced by Cal/OSHA, require the employer to administer a "Hearing Conservation Program" if an employee is exposed to the action level [continuous 8 hours at 85 dBA (Time-Weighted Average)]. In this case, hearing protectors should be made available to site personnel. Cal/OSHA standards are listed in Table 1. Site personnel should not be exposed to http://www.clwmb.ca.gov/pe/advisory/20/attach20/20attch l.htm 8/11/98
