Mindt, LEA <br /> Background: <br /> California Waste Removal System presently operates under a 1992 solid waste facility permit <br /> (SWFP) . This SWFP allows for large volume transfer station operations, manual/mechanical <br /> materials recovery practices, and composting activities. As of this State inspection write- <br /> up, a revised SWFP is tentatively scheduled for consideration by the Permitting and <br /> Enforcement Committee at its July 15, 1997, meeting. The revised SWFP will reflect an <br /> increase in the site' s acreage, and separate the transfer and materials recovery operations <br /> from on-going composting activities . Subsequent to the July, 1997, Board meeting, <br /> composting-related activities now covered under the existing SWFP are intended to be <br /> addressed under a new SWFP (SWFP Number 39-AA-0038) . <br /> Previous Inspection Results: <br /> The previous State inspection of this facility was conducted on January 21, 1993 . No <br /> violations of State Minimum Standards (SMS) were documented during this inspection. <br /> As indicated below, an area of concern regarding vector control was noted at this facility <br /> during the State inspection conducted on June 9, 1997. <br /> Inspection Results: <br /> Area of Concern: 14 CCR 17533 - Vector and Bird Control <br /> As previously stated, the site has been designed and is currently operated as a large volume <br /> transfer station, materials recovery, and composting site. This SMS requires that each <br /> station be designed in such a manner as to minimize the propagation or attraction of flies <br /> as a result of solid wastes handling at the station. Other factors which shall be taken <br /> into consideration are pertinent matters related to the protection of public health and <br /> safety. <br /> Significant numbers of adult flies were observed during the inspection. Fly clusters were <br /> present atop active windrows, unprocessed greenwaste, and stockpiled refuse lying within the <br /> transfer station tipping floor. The concentration of flying flies was high enough to bother <br /> an individual while walking through the composting operations area. The number of flying <br /> flies and fly clusters found atop refuse being dumped at the transfer station was lower than <br /> that noted around composting feedstocks and active windrows . Flies were barely seen within <br /> the manual/mechanical recovery system area. <br /> California Waste Removal System <br /> Branch Supervisor�f Inspector <br />
