adherence to the following mitigation measure will reduce the potential impact of this significant effect to a less than significant level: MM 4.5-9. The applicant shall,prior to initiation of Project operations, submit an Integrated Pest Management(IPM) Plan for approval by the Kern Mosquito and Vector Control District and the Kern County Environmental Health Services Department. The IPM Plan shall be designed to use good housekeeping practices as the primary tool. The IPM Plan shall include(but not be limited to)measures to combat vector infestation by ensuring good.drainage of biosolids areas, frequent flushing, clean-up and maintenance of biosolids disposal edges, and prompt repair of leaking leachate system and rinsate system pipes and equipment. Secondary measures to be included in the IPM Plan are, as needed, biological controls including(but not limited to) the use of parasitic beetles and mites (to control egg and larvae populations) and parasitic wasps (to control fly pupae populations). When housekeeping and biological controls prove ineffective, or have provided limited effectiveness, chemicals (i.e., pesticides) may supplement the program. When chemicals are used, special care shall be taken to select and apply chemicals that are compatible with existing biological controls (i.e., those that do not kill parasitic wasps). These chemicals will be used only as necessary and in compliance with Federal and State laws and regulations regarding pesticides storage, application, and disposal. Chemicals classified as restricted materials will be applied only under permits issued by the Kern County Agricultural Commissioner. Bulk pesticides will be applied only by a State-licensed Pesticide-Applicator. Insecticides will be prepared and applied in conformance with practices recommended by the University of California Cooperative Extension. The IPM Plan shall contain a record-keeping protocol, which shall be followed and records kept on site and available upon request by the Kern County Vector and Mosquito Abatement District and Environmental Health Services(EHS). Potential Significant Effect Without appropriate mitigation, nonhazardous materials, such as fugitive litter, transported and disposed on site can create an offsite nuisance. Description of Specific Impact The project is requesting the approval of a number of waste streams for disposal at this facility. The waste streams will be transported to the facility in heavy duty truck/trailer vehicles. These truck loads should be tarped to provide a cover so no fugitive material can escape the trailer. Once on site,the trailers will be emptied at the working face of the disposal area. Any fugitive litter, blow-off fly ash, treated auto-shredder waste or other type of approved waste, should be controlled so it does not migrate offsite. The Report of Disposal Site Information (RDSI) should include detailed information on the litter control for the project for off site litter including frequency of removal, and inspection of tarps on covered loads during vehicle entry to the facility. Findin Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project that substantially lessen the potentially significant effect as identified in the Final EIR, so that environmental effects after such mitigation are reduced to a less than significant level.
