• 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 />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 />
