The inspection identified no violations of Title 14,California Code of Regulations,Division 7,Chapter 3, Transfer/Processing Operations and Facilities Regulatory Requirements or of Title 14,California Code of Regulations,Division 7,Chapter 3.1,Compostable Materials Handling Operations and Facilities Regulatory Requirements. AREAS OF CONCERN: A. The inspection identified five areas of concern of Title 14,California Code of Regulations,Division 7, Chapter 3,Transfer/Processing Operations and Facilities Regulatory Requirements. 1. Section 17409.2—Sanitary Facilities. This requirement states that the operator shall maintain all sanitary and hand-washing facilities which may be required,by applicable state or local requirements,in a reasonably clean and adequately supplied condition. There was no hand-washing facility available during the inspection. The operator stated that he will have a hand-washing station at the facility by the next LEA monthly inspection. It is recommended that the LEA verify the installation of hand-washing station during the next monthly inspection. 2. Section 17409.4—Signs. This requirement states that for operations or facilities not open to the public,each point of access from a public road shall be posted with an easily visible sign indicating the operation or facility name and location of nearest public operation or facility. The sign at the front gate of the facility needs to be updated to meet this requirement. It is recommended that the LEA verify the installation of new signs during the next monthly inspection. 3. Section 17407.3—Drainage Control. This requirement states that drainage at all operations and facilities shall be controlled to minimize the creation of contact water;prevent to the greatest extent possible given existing weather conditions,the uncontrolled off-site migration of contact water;protect the integrity of roads and structures;protect the public health;and prevent safety hazards and interference with operations. The drainage channel at the southwest corner of the transfer station building was partially blocked with an accumulation of litter(see Figure 1). The operator stated that he will have his litter crew at the facility the following day. The litter crew was observed across from the adjacent landfill. It is recommended that the LEA verify that the drainage channel is free of litter during the next monthly inspection. 4. Section 17407.4—Dust Control. This requirement states in part that the operator shall take adequate measures to minimize the creation,emission,or accumulation of excessive dust and particulates. During the inspection a significant amount of dust was generated while driving around the facility. It is recommended that the LEA verify that the operator is adhering to the dust control measures as outlined in the facility's Transfer/Processing Report at the next monthly inspection. 5. Section 17408.1 —Litter Control. This requirement states that litter at operations and facilities shall be controlled,and routinely collected to prevent safety hazards,nuisances or similar problems and off-site migration to the greatest extent possible given existing weather conditions. During the inspection litter was observed south of the transfer station and in a drainage channel(see Figure 1.) The operator stated that he will have his litter crew at the facility the following day. It is recommended that the LEA verify that the drainage channel is free of litter during the next monthly inspection. B. The inspection identified no areas of concern of Title 14,California Code of Regulations,Division 7, Chapter 3.1,Compostable Materials Handling Operations and Facilities Regulatory Requirements.
