Draft Environmental Impact Report Page IV.I-3 p p g Forward Landfill Expansion • The landfill supervisor will be responsible for providing overall site security during normal working hours. • All areas and facilities, other than those expressly designated for use by haulers, will be considered restricted areas. • The landfill will have a perimeter barrier or topographic constraints designed to discourage unauthorized entry by persons or vehicles. • Areas within the site where hazardous or suspected hazardous materials are stored will be properly identified and secured. • The entrance to the site will have a lockable gate, which will be locked outside of the usual operating hours. • Salvaging and scavenging will be prohibited at the landfill, except for authorized materials recovery programs. Implementation of these procedures would reduce police protection impacts to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure 1.1: None required. Impacts on Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services Impact 1.2. The additional operations at the proposed expanded landfill could adversely affect the Lathrop-Manteca Fire District's ability to provide fire protection. The Lathrop-Manteca Fire District, in conjunction with fire suppression equipment and procedures at the existing Forward Landfill, is able to provide adequate fire protection service at this landfill. (Manding,2009). On-site fire suppression equipment of the existing Forward Landfill is described in the Setting section, above. The following procedures are proposed as part of the project: • At the proposed expanded landfill, the project sponsor will continue to provide fire suppression equipment and procedures that are equivalent in effectiveness to those currently employed at the existing Forward Landfill, as described in the Site Health and Safety Program. The project sponsor will furnish information regarding proposed disposal operations and fire suppression measures at the proposed expanded landfill to the Lathrop-Manteca Fire District. • Existing fire protection facilities will be maintained (see also Impact/Mitigation E.1). According to the Lathrop-Manteca Fire District,extending the current Forward Landfill fire suppression measures to the proposed expanded landfill would allow the District to provide adequate fire protection to the entire expanded landfill. (Manding, 2009). Therefore, implementation of these procedures would reduce fire protection impacts to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure I.2: None required. Impact I.3. The additional operations at the proposed expanded landfill could adversely affect the Lathrop-Manteca Fire District's ability to provide emergency medical service.
