3-13 3.2.9 Traffic Control (14 CCR, Section 17418.3) Pursuant to 14 CCR, Section 17418.3, traffic flow through the RRF shall be controlled to prevent interference with and/or creation of a safety hazard on adjacent public streets or roads, on-site safety hazards and/or interference with operations. Adequate parking is provided at the RRF as shown on Figures 2 and 7. The remote, rural location of the site already minimizes any interference and safety problems for traffic on the adjacent Austin Road. Stacking of vehicles from the RRF on Austin Road has not been an issue in the past. Incoming and outgoing traffic may not be allowed to park or idle along Austin Road. In addition, stop signs are posted at RRF exit. The RRF and landfill (combined) is able to receive a 620-trip maximum threshold allowed for the entire Forward faCility, as discussed in the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) dated December 2002 from which Land Use Permit No. UP-00-7 was issued. Vehicles entering the RRF entrance stop at the RRF scale and are directed to the appropriate unloading area. Vehicles are then directed back to the scale and exit out of the station on Austin Road. Typical traffic flow into, on and out of the station is presented on Figure 7. 3.3 Station Improvements 3.3.1 Roads (14 CCR, Section 17409.1) The main entrance to the RRF is paved. Other roads used at the site are either gravel (if they will be used often or in the near future) or dirt. On-site roads are constructed, as needed, utilizing on-site soils, crushed asphalt or aggregate, or both. The roads are maintained by site personnel. Since the roads and entrance facilities area are not paved, there is no thorough cleaning. Litter is raked/picked up. The track-out of mud on Austin Road is prevented utilizing a water truck, street sweeper, and/or the wheel washer (i.e., Tracinator) dirt removal system A as discussed in Section 3.2.2 . In addition, the site is graded to provide all-weather access. In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17409, all roads and driveways at the site are designed and constructed to withstand daily loading while minimizing dust generation. 3.3.2 Parking (14 CCR, Section 17409.6) In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17409.6, adequate parking areas are provided for persons visiting the RRF, as shown on Figures 2 and 7. Parking for the facility is northeast of the transfer station building. Incoming and outgoing traffic may not be allowed to park or idle along Austin Road. 3.3.3 Signs (14 CCR, Section 17409.4) In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17409.4(b), identification are posted at the entrances to both the landfill and RRF.
