November 1,2002 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Item Ln(3) of UP-99-17 also requires notification of the FAA and the affected airport <br /> regarding the proposed project. Forward,Inc. is therefore notifying the FAA, SMA, CIWMB, <br /> and LEA of the proposed project. The following paragraph regarding bird abatement at the <br /> site is referenced from the Joint Technical Document (JTD) for the site (BAS et al, May <br /> 2002). The JTD has been submitted and reviewed by both the CIWMB and LEA. <br /> Vectors and Birds <br /> Forward controls the emergence of vectors and pests(i.e.flies)from waste by <br /> covering wastes with compacted soil and minimizing the work area over <br /> which refuse is spread Rodents normally cannot survive because the <br /> compaction and covering of refuse with soil eliminates both habitat and food <br /> Properly compacting and covering wastes at the end of each operating day, <br /> also minimizes the potential for birds feeding at the site. Bird control <br /> measures, such as bird flares, whistles, and bombs, will continue to be used <br /> to discourage a bird population. Rodent control will be implemented in such <br /> a way as to minimize the negative adverse impact to wildlife. This will be <br /> controlled by using rodenticides that are safe for raptors and other wildlife. <br /> To monitor the success of rodent control measures, site personnel frequently <br /> inspect the site for signs of rodent activity. If any rodent activity is observed, <br /> site personnel will contact pest control specialist for professional advice and <br /> any services needed to prevent a vector nuisance. <br /> We appreciate your assistance with this project. If you have any questions, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> %r� <br /> Kevin Basso <br /> General Manager <br />
