The two largest ( 6 , 000 and <br /> 7 , 500 gallons) , connected to a high pressure pump, are for fire <br /> control . I observed that repairs had been completed on a leaking <br /> water valve and the door of the fire hose storage box as requested in <br /> the 12/90 LEA inspection. <br /> The 1/91 LEA inspection report indicates that on-site fire <br /> extinguishers have been serviced. I found them to have current tags. <br /> I contacted the Manteca-Lathrop Fire Department ( 209-982-5170 ) prior <br /> to the inspection. No problems with the transfer station had been <br /> reported in the past six months. <br /> 14 CCR 17496 Protection of Users <br /> The facility was designed, constructed, and operated to minimize <br /> contact between users and solid waste. Public and commercial <br /> vehicles are segregated into separate dumping areas . The loading pit <br /> has four foot high cement barriers along both sides, except for a <br /> fifteen foot gap where waste is pushed into transfer trailers. Mr . <br /> Lomas showed me a new railing that will be installed on the wooden <br /> back-hoe platform. <br /> 14 CCR 17497 Personnel Health and Safety <br /> The operator provides twice weekly -training to employees regarding <br /> transfer station operation and equipment usage.
