11AR 2 5 <br /> -ArWIM Revised March 21, 1991 <br /> F p tvi i r;SUR <br /> MEASURES5 MITIGATION <br /> 5 . 1 MITIGATION PROPOSED AS PART OF THE PROJECT <br /> This section describes mitigation measures which are an integral <br /> part of the project either as a result of regulatory agency <br /> requirements such as the solid waste facilities permit or waste <br /> discharge requirements. It also explains how the measures will be <br /> monitored for effectiveness. <br /> 5.1.1 NOISE <br /> A. Mitigation Measures: <br /> Noise levels from on-site equipment is controlled by proper <br /> maintenance of mufflers and other noisy equipment components. <br /> B. Monitoring Plan: <br /> City staff conducts frequent site inspections to ensure the <br /> landfill operator is maintaining noise-reducing equipment <br /> components. Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) and California <br /> Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) inspections will <br /> also serve to ensure effective noise control. <br /> 5.1.2 ODOR <br /> A. Mitigation Measures: <br /> Odor problems will be mitigated since wastes are required to <br /> be covered with 6 inches of soil daily. The City will direct <br /> changes in operating procedures if temporary problems develop. <br /> B. Monitoring Plan: <br /> City staff frequently inspects the site for compliance with <br /> daily cover requirements. The LEA and CIWMB inspections also <br /> ensure effective odor control. <br /> 5. 1.3 LITTER <br /> A. Mitigation Measures: <br /> Litter is controlled by a fence(s) adjacent to active work <br /> areas. Fences along the north and west perimeter provide a <br /> second "Line of Defense" to catch wind-blown debris. The <br /> entire landfill is regularly policed for litter by the <br /> landfill operator. Litter along public roads leading to the <br /> site is minimized due to San Joaquin County's policy which <br /> requires tarps to be placed over open loads. <br />
