c: <br />Forward Landfill Odor Control Management Plan <br />Procedure Name: ODOR CONTROL BEST MANAGEMENT Issue Date: May 2007 <br />PRACTICES PROGRAM <br />Procedure Number: EC 109 Revision Date: Sept. 2007 <br />Policy Reference: Environmental Compliance Person(s) Responsible: Ruben Ramirez <br />General Manager: Kevin Basso Date: 4-15-09 <br />The Odor Control Best Management Practices Program (OCBMPP) will control <br />and reduce odors to the extent necessary to prevent nuisance conditions from <br />occurring. In addition, the Forward Landfill OCBMPP specifies the manner of <br />accomplishing this goal. <br />The Forward Landfill OCBMPP is designed to identify, document, and then <br />mitigate odors. Because the transmission of odor depends on atmospheric <br />conditions, the facility will operate a weather station which records date, time, <br />temperature, wind direction and speed, precipitation, relative humidity, and <br />barometric pressure. The information gathered by the weather station is used to <br />assist in identifying the source of the odor, verifying the legitimacy of odor <br />complaints, and establishing seasonal weather patterns. <br />The following specific steps will be taken in implementing the Forward Landfill <br />OCBMPP. <br />1.0 IDENTIFYING THE PRESENCE OF ODOR <br />1.1 The first step in the process of controlling odors is to determine if odors <br />are present. For the purpose of the Sycamore Ridge Landfill <br />OCBMPP, the presence of odor is identified in one of the two following <br />ways: <br />1.1.1 Odors identified by Republic personnel, through self - <br />inspection or on-the-job observations. <br />1.1.2 Odors identified by sources other than Republic personnel. <br />These odors are often identified through an "odor complaint." <br />These two methods of identifying odors and how they are managed <br />as part of the Forward Landfill OBCMPP are discussed in the <br />following sections. <br />
