H. Project Description <br /> into the refuse. Such areas would be covered and graded to prevent surface water ponds from <br /> developing on the refuse fill. J <br /> Prrcnnnrl and '' merit <br /> Estimated equipment requirements are shown in Table 11.2. This equipment list assumes that the <br /> initial operation of the expanded Austin Road Landfill would be equivalent to the current <br /> operation levels and would be conducted by the current operator. <br /> Estimated personnel requirements are shown in Table 11.3. This personnel list also assumes <br /> leachate haul would be contracted and the initial Austin Road Landfill expansion operation <br /> would be equivalent to the current operation levels. <br /> anitorine and Controls <br /> Disposal Site Control Measures <br /> Typical nuisances at a landfill include vectors(such as rats,field rodents,wasps,cockroaches, <br /> etc.),birds,litter,dust,mud,and noise. The proposed measures to address nuisances are <br /> described below. <br /> Victor Control. Compaction and daily covering of the refuse would eliminate harborage for <br /> rodents and reduce fly propagation. Mosquitoes would be controlled by proper grading and <br /> elimination of stagnant on-site ponds. <br /> Bird Control. Current bird control is currently achieved by the use of noise-makers(cracker <br /> shells or propane detonators). The landfill operator would monitor bird activity and would adjust <br /> the spacing of the noise-makers to maximize effectiveness. <br /> _. The Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)and the Manager of the Stockton Metropolitan <br /> Airport(Airport)have indicated concern about the potential for conflict of aviation operations <br /> with birds that are often associated with landfill operations.According to personnel at-the <br /> Airport and the FAA,there have been no recorded bird strikes at the Stockton Metropolitan <br /> Airport that have been associated with the Austin Road Landfill. <br /> 11.28 <br />
