V <br />14W <br />0 JUL 2 3 <br />ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH <br />14 CCR 17535 - Litter PERMIT/SERVICES <br />Citation• <br />Because of gusty winds on the day of this inspection Mr. Ramos <br />observed substantial litter going outside the perimeter <br />boundary at the southeastern corner of the facility. Mr Ramos <br />was told by Felipe Lomas (Site Supervisor) that there's no way <br />they can control litter from going off-site during gusty <br />winds. Extending the height of the fence at the southeast <br />corner of the station may be helpful in containing the litter <br />from going off-site. <br />Response: <br />Mr. Ramos has suggested extending the height of the fence at <br />the southeastern corners of the site to prevent litter from <br />going outside the facility. The cause of the litter blowing <br />over to the fence was the gusty windy conditions that day. <br />Experience at the site has proven that extending the fence <br />height will not help under gusty wind conditions. An extended <br />fence has been tried before, and the wind still blows litter <br />over the top. In addition, a safety hazard would be created <br />by extending the fence height in that exiting transfer trucks <br />view of approaching traffic from the west would be impaired. <br />The existing fence extension has been bent down past <br />perpendicular to the perimeter fence in this area and small - <br />mesh chicken wire has been attached to it. This solution is <br />helping during periods of gusty wind conditions; the wire <br />tends to trap litter until the gust subsides and then the <br />litter falls inside the site instead of blowing up and over <br />the fence. This solution will be continued to be monitored <br />by the solid Waste Foreman. If it appears it will not work <br />an alternative solution will be sought. <br />This station has had a daily clean up program for the last 6 <br />years. It includes daily clean up of litter both on and off <br />site. <br />14 CCR 17557 - Station Maintenance Program <br />Concern• <br />Mr. Ramos observed a minor pothole (depression) near the fuel <br />storage tank (in front of two -fifty five gallon containers). <br />This area must be repaired as soon as possible to prevent <br />In <br />
