Bird Control Program Forward Landfill—Manteca, California 2010 when the pilot control program began. Observations at North County Landfill and Foothill Landfill indicated that large numbers of gulls continued to feed at these partially controlled landfills. The study reported here has documented the continued complete effectiveness of the gull control program at Forward Landfill. The program is not experimental but rather it is fully- operational using control techniques that are well-established and are used operationally and effectively at several landfills. The conversion of the Forward Landfill to a fully-controlled facility will insure that no bird hazard is created by the landfill in the future. Addendum ,o, Landfill staff noted that gulls appeared in the Stockton area on 24 July of 2012. To insure that a hazard to aircraft was not created, Greg Prindle, LGL's independent monitor was retained to provide gull control using remote-controlled model aircraft. He provided control on 7 days between 27 July and 14 August. The numbers of gulls was small with a maximum of 16 at one time. Control was maintained using the model aircraft.
