air pollution control district. OHS requirements must also be met. <br /> Examples of air pollution controls include <br /> • Operational controls at conveyor belts, tank and bin <br /> stacks, and equipment vents. <br /> • Collection of dusts and vapors or containment by dust- <br /> handling and vapor recovery systems utilizing flexible <br /> boots, hoods, blowers, ducts, baghouses, scrubbers, and <br /> associated equipment. <br /> • Maintenance of tight seals at storage tanks, valves, <br /> flanges, and fittings to avoid releases of liquids. <br /> • Use of inert materials to prevent corrosive chemicals <br /> from mixing with incompatible substances. <br /> Water pollution control mechanisms at transfer stations include dikes, <br /> drains, curbs, impermeable floors, and loading areas designed to con- <br /> tain possible spills. Regular monitoring of ground and surface water <br /> may be required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board to provide <br /> early warning of any leaks. Control measures for storage tanks should <br /> also be provided. In addition, an emergency response plan should be <br /> prepared as part of the facility' s hazardous waste management plan. <br /> Traffic ranging from 6 to 75 or more trucks (on a weekly basis) would <br /> contribute to noise and congestion in the vicinity of the facility. <br /> However, the overall impacts of such' a facility upon the community are <br /> expected to be minimal , given modern emissions control technologies <br /> and good management procedures. <br /> A typical transfer facility is characterized by its storage tanks, <br /> surrounded by protective dikes. In many industrial areas, these tanks <br /> and the warehouse-style truck transfer building usually arevisually <br /> compatible with the surroundings.
