C <br />• IiUaL- Litter will be minimized by placing temporary <br />fencing or a portable litter fence downwind from the <br />working face. The fencing, operational area, and site in <br />general will be policed regularly to pick up any accumu- <br />lated litter. <br />• Noise. Noise levels of on-site equipment will be con- <br />trolled by proper muffler maintenance. <br />Wig. Protection of landfill equipment and vehicles from <br />fire will be provided by daily removal of debris and dust <br />from undercarriages and engine compartments and checking <br />for and repairing oil leaks. The scalehouse, maintenance <br />shop, and landfill equipment will be equipped with <br />suitable fire extinguishers for any minor fires for per- <br />sonnel safety. Any fire that occurs on the landfill will <br />be extinguished by landfill personnel using soil cover <br />stockpiled specifically for that purpose and, when <br />necessary, a water truck. <br />Health Factors and First Aid. A properly operated <br />landfill does not present health hazards to adjacent land <br />users because the sanitary landfill method does not cre- <br />ate conditions that attract and encourage breeding by <br />potential disease carriers such as flies and rodents. <br />Rodents generally cannot survive because the compaction <br />and daily cover of refuse with the soil eliminates both <br />habitat and food. Covering wastes with compacted soil <br />and minimizing the work area over which refuse is spread <br />also prevent the emergence of flies from eggs present in <br />household wastes. However, site personnel will frequent- <br />ly inspect site areas for any signs of rodent activity. <br />If such activity is observed, site personnel will contact <br />pest control specialists for professional advice and any <br />services needed so that a vector nuisance does not <br />develop. <br />The following provisions will be used to minimize pos- <br />sible health hazards to the site personnel: (1) identify <br />wastes at the gate and minimize the exposure time of any- <br />one to waste that may present a health hazard, (2) pro- <br />vide on-site first-aid supplies and hygienic facilities, <br />and (3) train on-site personnel in safe operating proce- <br />dures and provisions compliance. <br />5.6 SITE OBSERVATION AND MAINTENANCE <br />Surface drainage facilities, vegetated soil cover areas, intermediate <br />fill surfaces, and access roads will be observed routinely and at <br />PJ9 9390209A.00D <br />26 <br />
