Foothill Sanitary Landfill Page 44 of 53 San Joaquin County DPW - Solid Waste Joint Technical Document Revised 6/09/2020 are monitored daily for accumulated litter. The stretch of Waverly Road fronting the landfill is also monitored for litter regularly. Litter is removed as soon as possible by site staff. If necessary, Foothill Landfill hires local contractors to remove litter. 7.8. Noise Control Noise is controlled as needed to meet the County Noise Ordinance, which limits the noise received at residences beyond the property boundary. Noise levels from site equipment and operations are controlled by proper maintenance of mufflers and construction of berms around portions of the site. The landfill is not near any residences (except the operator’s on-site residence) so the potential for noise nuisance is minimal. 7.9. Traffic Control Landfill traffic enters the site via the entrance road from Waverly Road. Signs direct traffic through the scales to the active area (Figure 14). The unloading area is at the active face of the landfill. Transfer vehicles, packer trucks, and public vehicles are directed by a traffic spotter at the unloading area. The transfer and packer trucks discharge their contents using hydraulic rams and traveling beds. The public vehicles are directed to the designated unloading area at the active face. For safety reasons, public and commercial vehicles unload in different areas of the working face. Typically, one to two traffic spotters assist unloading vehicles. 7.10. Hazardous Waste / Load Checking Foothill Landfill operations incorporate the procedures of the County’s Hazardous Waste Exclusion and Load Check Program (Appendix G) 7.11. Landfill Gas (LFG) Surface Emissions Management Plan Municipal solid wastes placed in the Foothill Landfill will undergo natural chemical and biological decomposition following disposal. The products of biological decomposition of organic wastes are solids, liquids, and gases.
