The track-out mud on Austin Road will be removed utilizing a water truck, <br />street sweeper, and/or the wheel washer (i.e., Tracinator) dirt removal system, as needed. <br />The wheel wash station is located along the exit road as shown on Figure 2. The wheel wash <br />(Tracinator) station removes mud from the tires of trucks by shaking the vehicle as it drives <br />across the steel washboard channels. In addition, the concrete basin is filled to an <br />approximate 7-inch depth with water delivered by a water truck. As trucks drive through the <br />wheel wash station, water in the concrete basin washes away the mud on the tires. Mud will <br />be cleared from the wheel wash station, as needed, by filling the concrete basin with clean <br />water and pumping the water into a holding tank. The water in the holding tank will be <br />disposed of in accordance with WDR Order No. R5-2014-0006. A water truck with a <br />pressurized hose will also be used to clean the basin. <br />3.2.3 Litter Control (14 CCR, Section 17408.1) <br />In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17408.1, litter control is conducted at the RRF. All <br />incoming recyclable loads are processed and/or transferred inside the RRF building. A debris <br />collection fence is used to catch any wind blown debris. The RRF is cleaned daily by site <br />personnel to remove any litter on the property and minimize the possibility of off-site littering. <br />An ongoing daily litter collection program to minimize litter on the site and in surrounding areas <br />has been implemented. Site personnel regularly patrol the overall property and pick up litter <br />blown from the working areas of the RRF. All incoming loads are required to be covered. The <br />personnel should not only collect litter from the facility, but also the facility entrance, public <br />roads, and adjoining property, provided the property owner will allow access. Litter is collected <br />as far north as the intersection of Austin Road and Arch Road, and as far south as French <br />Camp Road and Austin Road on a daily basis. All litter is collected along this section of the <br />road. Litter caught in the fences is removed daily or as necessary. <br />3.2.4 Noise Control (14 CCR, Section 17408.3) <br />In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17408.3, noise control measures are instituted at the <br />RRF. Noise at the site includes traffic noise generated by trucks and other vehicles traveling <br />along on Austin Road to the landfill and RRF and noise generated by the equipment used in <br />landfill and RRF operations. Noise levels of on site equipment are controlled by proper <br />maintenance of mufflers to factory specifications. <br />Due to the vehicular volume with the waste quantity limits, deliveries of residual waste to the <br />landfill will be scheduled as regularly as possible to minimize queuing and idling. In addition, <br />the truck drivers will be encouraged to minimize their idling time. <br />Noise levels are not likely to create health hazards to persons using the site due to the use of <br />mufflers on heavy equipment. Protective ear wear is provided to all employees. Due to the
