LEA Advisory 20 Attachment - Inspection Guidance for SW Landfills Page 38 of 52 0 ■ (1) Cover with impermeable barriers other than soil to prevent entry or accumulation of precipitation; or (2) Use of treatments or methods to prevent or eliminate vector breeding as necessary,provided the control program is approved as appropriate and effective by the local vector control authority, if such authority exists. If no local vector control authority exists, the local health department and the State Department of Health Services shall approve the vector control plan. Any control program approved by the local vector control authority shall be subject to Board concurrence at the time of issuance or renewal of the permit. Waste tire stockpiles should be checked for conformance with an approved vector control plan unless the stockpiles are covered with an impermeable cover, other than soil, that will prevent the accumulation of precipitation in the tires. The inspector should note ponded water and mosquito breeding in stockpiled waste tires at the facility. If vectors are seen among the tire stockpiles during the inspection, a violation is probably warranted. Evidence of rodents, such as burrows and rodent droppings should be given an area of concern. Documentation of past vector control inspections should be requested. If the vector control plan requires spraying, etc., ask to see a receipt or other documentation. 17354 Storage of Waste Tires (a) Except as provided in subsection (c) waste tires shall be restricted to individual tire storage units that do not exceed 5000 square feet of contiguous area.
