Foothill Landfill <br />Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Page 43 <br />Row <br />No. Minimum Permit Requirement Facility-Specific Implementation <br />according to need. The water truck used for dust <br />suppression is also available for use. <br />Safety Equipment: A typical inventory of safety <br />equipment in stock includes chemical resistant gloves, <br />suits, boots, splash goggles, and apron. An eye wash and <br />emergency showers are also available. <br />4. Identify and train appropriate spill and leak <br />response personnel. <br />San Joaquin County conducts mandatory employee new <br />hire training. Storm water and spill response training is <br />conducted annually. <br />8.1.4 Material Handling and Waste Management <br />San Joaquin County implements permit compliant BMPs for material handling and waste <br />management: <br />Table 8.1.4 – Material Handling and Waste Management Measures <br />Row <br />No. Minimum Permit Requirement Facility-Specific Implementation <br />1. Prevent or minimize handling of industrial <br />materials or wastes that can be readily mobilized <br />by contact with storm water during a storm <br />event; <br />Landfill materials are prevented from discharging <br />with storm water by the way covering refuse with <br />covering soil. Storm water is pumped from the <br />modules to retention basins where sediment is allowed <br />to settle, and pollutants and trash can be removed. <br />Receiving, sorting, and maintenance activities are <br />performed within the active landfill module. Landfill <br />operations staff maintain vigilant to prevent or <br />minimize incidental windblown fugitive material from <br />leaving the active fill area. Any observed incidental <br />windblown fugitive material is collected by landfill <br />operations staff for burial back in the landfill. <br />2. Contain all stored non-solid industrial materials <br />or wastes (e.g., particulates, powders, shredded <br />paper, etc.) that can be transported or dispersed <br />by the wind or contact with storm water; <br />These are contained within the site property, primarily <br />within the active landfill module. The module is <br />designed to minimize wind-blown debris and <br />sediment and allow water to flow off the module. <br />Portable wind screens are used to capture fugitive <br />trash. <br />3. Cover industrial waste disposal containers and <br />industrial material storage containers that <br />contain industrial materials when not in use; <br />Landfill modules are covered at the end of each <br />operating day with “daily cover” which consist of soil <br />or tarps. White waste and e-waste are accumulated <br />within covered bins until they are shipped off site. <br />4. Divert run-on and storm water generated from <br />within the facility away from all stockpiled <br />materials; <br />The landfill has an extensive network of storm water <br />conveyance swales and piping to prevent run-on and <br />storm water runoff from coming into contact with <br />industrial or stockpiled materials. <br />5. Clean all spills of industrial materials or wastes <br />that occur during handling in accordance with <br />the spill response procedures (Section X.H.1.c); <br />and, <br />Landfill operations staff immediately clean up spills <br />of oil or fuel from vehicle and equipment operation, <br />fueling, and maintenance. Landfill crews canvas the <br />facility picking up fugitive trash. <br />6. Observe and clean as appropriate, any outdoor <br />material or waste handling equipment or <br />Equipment is inspected and cleaned, as necessary, <br />before leaving the active landfill modules.
