11 <br />1.20dors Identified Through Self -inspection <br />1.2.1 The primary objective of the Forward Landfill OCBMPP is to <br />identify and mitigate odors from the facility before the odors <br />can have an impact on the local community, i.e., to eliminate <br />odor complaints. This is accomplished through the use of <br />self -inspections. The self -inspection process is mandatory <br />for all Republic facilities. <br />1.2.2 Self -inspection will be performed on a weekly basis by the <br />Operations Supervisor, General Manager, or Area Engineer, <br />or their designees. It consists of one or more of these <br />individuals touring the facility specifically to identify odors. <br />The results of the inspection will be documented on the form <br />provided in Appendix A. Any odors identified through self - <br />inspection will be mitigated in accordance with the guidance <br />for mitigation provided later in this Forward Landfill <br />OCBMPP. An odor crossing the property boundary is the <br />criteria for mitigation, i.e., if the individual performing the self - <br />inspection is standing on the property boundary and an odor <br />from the facility can be detected, then mitigation of the odor <br />is required. <br />2.0 ODORS IDENTIFIED BY OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT <br />REPUBLIC EMPLOYEES <br />2.1 If the Forward Landfill OCBMPP is not implemented or is poorly <br />implemented, then the primary goal of mitigating odors before odors <br />can impact the focal community will not be achieved. When this <br />happens, it is inevitable that odor complaints will be generated. All <br />odors brought to the attention of the facility management by individuals <br />other than Republic employees must be investigated and documented. <br />2.2 Upon receipt of an odor complaint, the following actions will be taken: <br />2.2.1 Upon receipt of an odor complaint, the complaint should be <br />investigated by the site manager, operations manager or <br />Area Engineer. <br />2.2.2 if the complaint is made verbally and the odor is ongoing, the <br />complaint should be investigated immediately. The <br />investigation should include interviewing the complainant, <br />completing the form in Appendix B, and immediately visiting <br />the site of the alleged odor. During the visit to the site where <br />the alleged odor was noted, the Republic employee <br />investigating the odor will try to verify the existing the odor. <br />
