Litter caught in the fences is evaluated <br />daily and removed as necessary. <br />6. Forward will remove litter from the neighboring properties where access has been <br />granted by the property owner. This would include litter that is caught by tree limbs. <br />Forward will use the method (e.g., a litter extension pole) that is most effective and has <br />the least amount of impact to the property. <br />7. A portable litter vacuum is also available to aid in litter collection. The vacuum can <br />be used to collect litter that has accumulated on litter fences and for efficient litter <br />removal between windrows. <br />8. The public/main roads leading to the facility will be inspected for litter on a daily <br />basis. Litter is collected as far north as the intersection of Austin Road and Arch <br />Road, and as far south as French Camp Road and Austin Road on a daily basis. All <br />litter is collected along this section of the road. All necessary safety precautions must <br />be followed in the litter collection program. <br />9. The operator will also take photos of the litter before and after when there is an <br />excessive amount of offsite litter. <br />10. It should be noted that Forward has recently planted poplar trees along the eastern and <br />western boundaries of the RRF. The trees are expected to grow at a rate of <br />approximately seven feet per year to a total height of approximately 60 feet and are <br />spaced sufficiently close to provide an effective barrier along the perimeter. Forward <br />considered a 13-foot high perimeter fence, but felt the trees would be more aesthetic, <br />limit dust transport, act as a barrier for litter, and allow for air mixing and odor <br />dispersal. <br />11. Forward currently documents illegal dumping that occurs around or near the facility prior <br />to clean up and documents spills and accidents that occur at or near the facility. <br />12. All incoming recyclable loads are processed and/or transferred inside the RRF building. <br />A debris collection fence is used to catch any windblown debris. The RRF is cleaned <br />daily by site personnel to remove any litter on the property and minimize the possibility <br />of off-site littering. <br />13. The site phone number (as listed below) is manned from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday <br />through Friday and 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. All other times, the contracted <br />security company will be available by phone to alert Forward personnel of any issues. A <br />sign is posted at the facility entrance with this information and will be kept up-to-date. <br />In addition, the operator can deliver a flyer to local residents along Austin/Newcastle <br />Roads between Arch and French Camp Roads with this contact information, as well as <br />when changes occur to this contact information.
