Mr.Mr.Griffins October 5,2006 Page 3 of 5 Odor Lmpact Minimization Pian Per 27 CCR §17863.4, an Odor Impact Minimization Plan(OIMP) is required of facilities that accept, handle,process or store compostable materials(e.g., green waste, wood waste). The OIMP provides guidance to on-site operations personnel for assessing possible off-site odor impacts, meteorological conditions that may affect odor transport, complaint response protocol, and methods to minimize odors associated with stockpiled green waste material. The distance to the nearest residential and/or commercial odor receptors, as well as the direction of the prevailing wind should be identified in the ED. The local Air Pollution Control District should be contacted regarding air pollution discharge permits, which may be required to ensure compliance with ambient air quality standards. Noise Activities associated with vehicular transport of waste materials and the use of equipment to process materials may result in significant on-site and off-site noise levels. A noise study may be necessary if local receptors are impacted, and should be included in the ED. Short-term and cumulative impacts should be assessed as well as operations related noise. Land Use Com atibilit The surrounding land use must be designated as compatible with the proposed/current land uses at the project sites. The local government, in whose jurisdiction the facilities will be located, must make a finding that the facility is consistent with the General Plan [Public Resources Code(PRC), Section 500001 and is identified in the most recent County Integrated/Solid Waste Management Plan [PRC, Section 50001]. The environmental document should identify the proposed project site's surrounding land use, as well as the distance to the nearest potentially sensitive receptor(s). Risk of Upset/Accident/Fire Suppression In the event of an accident, explosion, or the release of hazardous substances due to upset conditions or mechanical malfunctions,an Emergency Response Preparedness Plan should be prepared and available at the facility. Personnel should be properly trained to handle emergency situations, including identification, location and use of fire suppression equipment,procedures for evacuation of the premises, and notice for contacting the appropriate authorities in the event of such an occurrence. What is the response time from the nearest County Fire Department location? Staff request that such a plan be briefly described or referenced in the ED with the appropriate mitigation measures,if applicable, in the event of such an occurrence. Please describe the proposed hygienic facilities on site as well as first aid equipment accessibility and employee training. What is the distance to the nearest hospital? What will be the provisions for the permanent water supply?This information can be referenced in support documentation. Include on the site plan a description of the security on the site property, including fencing, lighting, gates,and access roads/traffic circulation. CEOA& Environmental Justice The Board, in its Strategic Plan,has made a commitment to Environmental Justice. More specifically we appreciate the state's diversity and act to protect the environment and public health and safety in a manner that ensures the fair treatment of people of all races, cultures and income levels.
