Truck Tracking Control and Clean-up Trucks leaving the facility are inspected for the potential to track material off-site. Harvest inspects each truck as it is leaving and washes down the tires if needed. In the event that material is tracked onto Frewert Road, this material is washed with a water truck if it can be accomplished with limited amount of water. Harvest contracts road sweepers as required to augment this practice. Fire Protection The facility abides by the current California Fire Code and all related standards (CFC 2010, 1908). In addition, The facility operates under the fire protection plan developed with the cooperation of the Lathrop/Manteca Rural Fire Department. Fire prevention is incorporated into the daily operation of the facility. The facility is patrolled three times per day (upon arrival, noon and at the end of the day) as a fire prevention measure. The pile sizes of stockpiled materials are kept under control, and the temperatures of the stockpiles and ground material are checked daily. If any materials are burning they are segregated from the pile and the fire is extinguished. There is an approved fire extinguisher on each piece of equipment. And, where possible, each piece of equipment will be equipped with an automatic fire shutdown system. There is a 4,000 gallon water truck on site. The water truck can be refilled by an above ground pipe and spigot connected to an agricultural well. This spigot can also fill a fire truck directly, or can connect directly to a fire department hose with an adapter in the case of a fire emergency. The water volume at this outlet is determined by the Lathrop/Manteca Rural Fire Department to be of sufficient volume and flow for the facility. A fire lane of 12 feet surrounds the entire facility, the area for feedstock delivery and processing is an all weather surface, and a road leading to the spigot is designed with a wider turn around area. 18227.e Emergency Provisions A description of the proposed emergency provisions for equipment breakdown or power failure The composting equipment on site is diesel powered and will not be affected by a power failure. If there is equipment breakdown that takes more than a couple of days to fix, equipment will be rented from the local Hertz agency, or by the appropriate equipment dealer in the case of the compost turner or grinder. If the water pump is not operational, water can be pumped into the water truck from one of three wells on the Gigli Hay property at 12333 S Manthey Rd # C Lathrop, CA 95330, approximately 1.5 miles from the property. 18227.f Storage Capacity and Length of Time 12
