SEC70N 2'-SITE OPERATIONS PLAN Page 2-16 <br /> 2.2.2 Vector, Odor, Bird, Litter, Dust, Mud and Noise Control <br /> ■ Vector Control <br /> Vectors (disease carrying organisms) are to be controlled at the Austin Road Landfill. <br /> Compaction and daily covering of the refuse will eliminate harborage for rodents and reduce <br /> fly propagation. Mosquitoes will be controlled by proper grading and elimination of stagnant <br /> ponds on-site. <br /> n Odor Control <br /> Odors will be controlled through the application of daily cover and the operation of the landfill <br /> gas control system. To verify performance, the site perimeter will be routinely monitored <br /> during low wind conditions or in response to any odor complaint. <br /> n Bird Control <br /> Bird control is achieved by the use of noise-makers (cracker shells or propane detonators), <br /> or by the use of a wind-agitated, reflective taps (such as Irri-tape which is being used at the <br /> Forward Landfill). The landfill operator will mcnitor bird activity and will adjust the spacing of <br /> the noise generation as necessary to maximize effectiveness. <br /> ■ Utter Control <br /> Blowing litter is to be controlled at the Austin Road Landfill. Compaction and covering of <br /> refuse as soon as possible after it is deposited will greatly reduce the amounts of blowing <br /> litter. Inevitably, some light materials such as paper and film plastics, will escape from the <br /> working face and be blown away. Strategically placed portable litter control fences may be <br /> used to reduce the amount of blowing litter. In addition, the orientation of the working face <br /> to the downwind side of prevailing winds will help reduce litter. <br /> The operator is responsible to assign personnel to pick-up litter and debris from the site. <br /> Areas that should be patrolled and cleaned up by the litter crew include: <br /> ■ Little John's Creek. <br /> a The portable litter control fences. <br /> n The landfill perimeter, both inside and outside the landfill fence. Blowing paper will tend <br /> to collect inside the perimeter fence. <br /> a The access and entrance road to the landfill where arriving refuse haul vehicles may <br /> cause some litter. <br /> a Around buildings, where the wind may deposit debris. <br /> R.W.SacK a c Assoc;ates My of Stockton <br /> 1811.=2 <br />
