loads are notified regarding covered load requirements and are charged double gate fees. The <br /> unloading of waste within the MRF affords adequate controls for windblown materials. <br /> Litter control includes a set schedule for LTS staff to pick up windblown litter at the site and along <br /> Lovelace Road. Perimeter fencing and surrounding areas are inspected daily and picked by <br /> hand to remove any windblown litter. <br /> Transfer trucks and trailers are washed regularly by private contractor. Materials bins are <br /> cleaned periodically. <br /> 3.4.6 Noise Control <br /> The primary means of noise control is the walls of the MRF, which contains the noise. Most <br /> material and waste handling, processing, recovery and transfer is conducted within the MRF. All <br /> collection vehicles and equipment used at the site are properly muffled. Workers are provided <br /> with ear protection as necessary. <br /> 3.4.7 Vector, Bird and Animal Control <br /> In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17498.4, the operator institutes measures to control and <br /> prevent the propagation, harborage and attraction of flies, rodents and other vectors and animals, <br /> and to minimize bird attraction. Items received at the facility which tend to attract vectors (e.g. <br /> food wastes, seed, etc.) are rapidly processed and transferred off-site for disposal at a Class III <br /> landfill. Both the recycling and transfer areas are surveyed regularly for harborage of vectors or <br /> birds. Waste materials which are brought to the site are transported for disposal within 48 hours. <br /> Materials that are recovered as recyclables are processed and removed from the site at regular <br /> intervals. All containers are inspected and cleaned regularly if they appear to be attracting any <br /> vectors. Proper grading and drainage prevent standing water along the edge of the building or <br /> wash areas. Chain-link fence and masonry walls around the property also prevent the entrance <br /> of larger rodents and animals into the facility. "Western Exterminator" visits the site once every <br /> month to prevent vectors from becoming a problem. A total of 8 rodent Bait Stations are located <br /> inside the MRF and filled weekly or as needed, to help minimize concerns caused by rodents. <br /> Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br /> Transfer Processing Report 33 County of San Joaquin <br /> April 16,2026 <br />
