V <br /> b.Increased Potential for Fire or Medical Emergencies <br /> Potential Significant Impact(C.3): <br /> The proposed project would increase the landfill area and extend the lifetime of the landfill <br /> operation,thus increasing the potential for fire or medical emergencies on the site over the <br /> duration of the operation. <br /> Finding: <br /> Based upon the analysis in the EIR, implementation of the safety and control measures in the <br /> Mitigation Measure will make impacts of the potential increase in fire or medical emergencies <br /> less than significant. <br /> The following mitigation measures will mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. <br /> Mitigation Measures (Impact C.3): <br /> (a) Conduct weekly inspections of all facilities for safety(the Safety Checklist prepared <br /> by the National Solid Waste Management Association could be usedfor inspections). <br /> (b) Conduct safety meetings with employees to disseminate safety information. <br /> (c) Provide personal protective gear for the safe handling of solid waste. <br /> In addition, iMplement Mitigation Measure L.1 (a) through (g)regarding worker <br /> exposure to chemical contaminants and particulates. <br /> I <br /> Facts in Support of the Finding. '. <br /> The potential for increased potential for fire or medical emergencies is discussed in Section III.0 f l <br /> of the EIR. The operating procedures above are designed to reduce the potential for on-site fire i <br /> or medical emergencies. <br /> I <br /> c.Potential Increase in Wastewater <br /> Potential Significant Impact(C.4): <br /> I <br /> The proposed project would create and recover leachate that could in the future be treated at the <br /> MUD wastewater treatment plant,thus increasing treatment flow at the wastewater treatment <br /> plant. <br /> Finding: <br /> Based upon the analysis in the EIR, implementation of the leachate monitoring and/or treatment <br /> measures in the Mitigation Measure will make impacts resulting from increased wastewater flows <br /> less than significant. <br /> 20 <br />
