There is no hazardous contact between the public and the <br />RRF /Compost Facility. <br />The RRF /Compost Facility is designed so that facility users have minimum contact with <br />processing equipment and materials. The vehicle unloading areas are located on the <br />opposite side of the material stockpile, so that the front -end loader remov es material from <br />the far side of the stockpile, away from facility users. The RRF /Compost Facility will have <br />signs posted to direct traffic to the stockpiles and away from other areas of the facility. The <br />RRF /Compost Facility is staffed during all hours that the grinder is operating. The grinder is <br />equipped with a locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized use. Facility users (customers) <br />are not authorized to access the waste material storage area. Residues are removed only by <br />properly licensed parties approved by Forward. <br />5.7 Safety Equipment <br />In addition to the firefighting equipment , the following emergency equipment is maintained <br />at the site (landfill and RRF/Compost Facility) at all times: <br />⧫ Industrial first -aid kits located in the landfill office trailer, RRF /Compost Facility office, <br />and maintenance area; <br />⧫ Personal protective equipment (reflective vests, etc.): <br />o Disposable respirators/filtration masks; <br />o Gloves; <br />o Hard hats; <br />o Safety glasses; <br />o Chemical-resistant coveralls; <br />o Hearing protection; <br />o Specialized equipment , as necessary, depending on the areas being worked in; <br />⧫ Portable eyewash locat ed in the locker area of the maintenance area ; <br />⧫ Decontamination shower located in the maintenance area with a 250 -gallon <br />capacity; <br />⧫ Backup generator; <br />⧫ Seven Honda water pumps; and <br />⧫ Strobe lights are utilized during any operation period in the dark. <br />5.8 Power Failure <br />All of the Compost Facility's processing equipment will be diesel powered, and thus not <br />subject to power failure.
