, Working faces of the landfill will be minimized to reduce their visibility. To the extent feasible,the top and side slopes of the landfill will be seeded with a mixture of native grasses and wildflowers that would visually blend with plants at the project site. Dense screening vegetation will be planted along the Austin Road boundary of the site,with sufficient height and density at maturity to shield residents and motorists along Austin Road from views of landfill operations, including nighttime disposal operations. To the extent feasible,this landscaping will consist of native shrubs and trees (such as valley oak). A 6-foot high chain link fence will be constructed at the perimeter of the property to limit public access.- - Upon closure,the top and side slopes of the landfill will be planted with native grasses to the extent feasible.

Lighting for nighttime operations at the working face and other landfill facilities shall consist of sodium lamps with sharp cutoff angles and downward shielding and,to the extent feasible, shall be oriented in a direction that is not visible from off-site locations. Identified in EIR: Implement the procedure proposed as part of the project under Mitigation Measure 37(K.3), above: Dense.screening vegetation shall be planted along the Austin Road boundary of the site,with sufficient height and density at maturity to shield residents and motorists along Austin Road from views of landfill operations, including nighttime disposal operations. For any future locations of the working face at which the screening vegetation in the Mitigation Measure above would not shield residents and motorists along Austin Road from night lighting,the project sponsor shall install temporary screens at the working face to block night righting from residences and motorists along Austin Road.
