Consolidated Forward .Landfill Page 10 If fixture spills or accidents during waste transport indicate that changes should be made to waste transport haul routes to the landfill from major arterials,SR 4 or Highway 99, the San Joaquin County Public Works Department shall modify the haul routes as appropriate. 35 (E.4) Proposed as Part of the Project: Where required by State and Federal regulations,the landfill gas monitoring, gas control and collection system will be installed,extending to the new areas of the expanding landfill and operating in conformance with applicable regulations. The existing gas extraction system,or an equivalent system,will continue to operate. Regular gas monitoring will be conducted to prevent explosive or toxic gas accumulation in onsite buildings or beneath temporary buildings. The landfill operator will install an automatic combustible gas detection and a.Iarm system for structures at the site. The landfill operator will not construct or otherwise locate any structure in an area of known landfill gas build-up. All site personnel who work:in permanent structures will be trained to use and respond to the landfill gas monitoring and alarm system. Identified in This EIR: Landfill gas monitoring shall include volatile organic compounds in order to determine the amount of contaminant recovery,and the landfill gas control system will control potential exposure to on site personnel 36 (E.5) Identified in This EER: The landfill operator shall submit an updated post-closure permit application for WMU-A that presents plans to prohibit the expansion of the new landfill areas above WMU-A. The applicant filed a renewal of its hazardous waste permit for WMU A on October 31,2000 (Kleinfelder,2000)that presents the controls and monitoring of WMU-A. The applicant's JTD descnbes creating a wedge of landfill material north of WMU-A that would keep a buffer area around the WMU-A boundaries clear of new refuse and then start to build outward and upward. This plan must have the approval of the CIWMB and RWQCB. 37(E.6) Proposed as Part of the Project: The landfill operator will follow legally required daily or alternative cover practices' The landfill will continue to ban intact tires(which collect water and serve as a breeding ground for vectors)and large dead animal;from disposal at the landfill. Existing measures to discourage birds from the landfill will be continued. Appropriate landfill personnel will periodically monitor the landfill for the presence of vectors and take preventative actionwhere required,and Iandfill inspections«ill be documented in the landfill operations administrative file. 38 (E.7)
