fencing and surrounding areas are inspected daily and picked by hand to remove any windblown <br />litter. <br />3.4.6 Noise Control <br />The primary means of noise control is the walls of the MRF, which contains the noise. Most <br />material and waste handling, processing, recovery and transfer is conducted within the MRF. In <br />addition, all collection vehicles and equipment used at the site are properly muffled. Workers are <br />provided with ear protection as necessary. <br />3.4.7 Vector, Bird and Animal Control <br />In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17498.4, the operator institutes measures to control and <br />prevent the propagation, harborage and attraction of flies, rodents and other vectors and animals, <br />and to minimize bird attraction. Items received at the facility which tend to attract vectors (e.g. <br />food wastes, seed, etc.) are rapidly processed and transferred off-site for disposal at a Class III <br />Alk landfill. Both the recycling and transfer areas are surveyed regularly for harborage of vectors or <br />birds. Waste materials which are brought to the site are transported for disposal within 48 hours. <br />Materials that are recovered as recyclables are processed and removed from the site at regular <br />intervals. All containers are inspected and cleaned regularly if they appear to be attracting any <br />vectors. Proper grading and drainage prevents standing water along the edge of the building or <br />wash areas. Chain-link fence and masonry walls around the property also prevent the entrance of <br />larger rodents and animals into the facility. "California Pest Control' visits the site once every two <br />weeks to prevent vectors from becoming a problem. A total of 8 rodent Bait Stations are located <br />inside the MRF and filled weekly or as needed, to help minimize concerns caused by rodents. <br />L -7 <br />3.4.8 Traffic Control <br />Traffic control in the LTS is provided by the site signing, striping, the gate attendant, and by <br />attendants in the MRF (Figure 6). In addition to striping, signs to control traffic will be posted. A <br />speaker machine outside the scale house allows commercial customers to communicate with <br />cashiers inside the scale house. <br />Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station <br />Transfer Processing Report <br />Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br />29 County of San Joaquin 02/16/10 <br />
