California Waste Removal System Page 3 of 9 6. This facility is not permitted for composting. It should be included in the RSI and permit. This could trigger a permit revision. Section 17482 - EnLr�Si Signs The entry sign does not indicate which materials are "accepted" and are "not accepted" . Section 17486 - Station Construction I observed several bins containing wastes located northwest of the wash area, shown in slides 1-8 to I-10. I also observed bins containing water located on the west side, of the property as shown in slide 1-12. All equipment shall be in good condition and cleaned so as to prevent the propagation or attraction of flies, rodents, or other vectors and the creation of nuisances. Section 17533 - Vector and Bird Control 6t I observed an unacceptable number of flies in the tipping area and also west of the tipping floor where they dry tomato pumice and peach pits. I did not observe any birds during my state inspection. According to Mr. Sanchez (operator) , they spray Dibrom insecticide in the afternoon to control these flies. AREAS OF CONCERN Section 17461 - Weight Volume Records or- Weight and volume records are kept in the scale house. I reviewed the records. Records of incoming loads were not available. According to Tom Sanchez (operator) , it is difficult to determine the actual daily tonnage because they do not weigh incoming public waste from pick-up trucks and small vehicles. However, outgoing tonnage 'is recorded daily. NOTE: Each station operator must maintain records of weight or volume for incoming loads, which should be sufficiently accurate for overall planning and control purposes. Section 17537 - Odor Control 0-, I detected strong and offensive odors north of the transfer station complex. However, because the site map was not accurate, I was not able to determine if the tomato waste, which was causing the odor, was within the permitted site boundaries. A.—Ot Wdste Management Specialist
