® • The operator will maintain a small stockpile of final cover material for those <br /> events, which may require immediate cover placement to minimize waste <br /> releases, to repair severe cracks, or to fill in large erosion gullies. <br /> The general types of equipment and materials that should be available for <br /> emergencies include a cellular phone, first aid kit, air supplies, fire extinguisher, <br /> final cover material, and sandbags. All action steps for the following emergency <br /> procedures, should be done in as short a time period as possible to prevent <br /> adverse health and safety affects to the public. <br /> 5.5 FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSIONS <br /> The following procedures will be followed during incidents of fire and/or <br /> explosions: <br /> • Contact the Manteca Fire Department, even if on-site capabilities are <br /> deemed adequate to extinguish fires or control future explosions. On-site <br /> landfill personnel will be instructed to follow the Fire Department's directions <br /> and give their full cooperation. <br /> • In the event of an off-site fire near the landfill, such as a brush fire, the <br /> operator will lend its personnel and equipment, if available, to the Fire <br /> Department to fight the fire. <br /> • Temporarily shut down the gas control system to avoid further chance of <br /> explosion. <br /> • The fire will be extinguished and the effects of the fire or explosion will be <br /> mitigated. <br /> 5.6 FLOOD <br /> If the site's existing stormwater diversion berms are inadequate in diverting flood <br /> waters away from the site, the following procedures will be followed: <br /> • Additional berms may be constructed in areas prone to flooding. <br /> • If additional berms are ineffective, the operator may cut a diversion channel <br /> to avoid inundation of the refuse cell. <br /> • Sandbags may be used in conjunction with berms or diversion channels. <br /> • After the drainage problem is corrected, an assessment of possible damage <br /> or erosion will be conducted and all necessary repairs will be made. <br /> Forward Landfill FPCPCMP 5-3 <br /> J:\Allied\Forward\2005.0051 Partial Closure\Partial Closure Plan\FL-sec 5.doc:6/9/2005 <br />
