<br /> <br />Foothill Sanitary Landfill Page 43 of 52 San Joaquin County DPW - Solid Waste <br />Joint Technical Document Revised 01/05/2026 <br /> <br />surface water in the fill area such that it can be controlled. A berm is placed at the down <br />gradient edge of the daily cell to collect surface water that might run off the exposed waste. <br /> <br />7.7. Litter Control <br />Litter is controlled by the use of temporary fences downwind of the working face and a <br />permanent fence along the site perimeter. All fencing, operational area, and the site in general, <br />are monitored daily for accumulated litter. The stretch of Waverly Road fronting the landfill is <br />also monitored for litter regularly. Litter is removed as soon as possible by site staff. If <br />necessary, Foothill Landfill hires local contractors to remove litter. <br /> <br />7.8. Noise Control <br />Noise is controlled as needed to meet the County Noise Ordinance, which limits the <br />noise received at residences beyond the property boundary. Noise levels from site equipment <br />and operations are controlled by proper maintenance of mufflers and construction of berms <br />around portions of the site. The landfill is not near any residences (except the operator’s on-site <br />residence) so the potential for noise nuisance is minimal. <br /> <br />7.9. Traffic Control <br />Landfill traffic enters the site via the entrance road from Waverly Road. Signs direct <br />traffic through the scales to the active area (Figure 14). <br /> <br />The unloading area is at the active face of the landfill. Transfer vehicles and packer <br />trucks are directed by a traffic spotter at the unloading area. The transfer and packer trucks <br />discharge their contents using hydraulic rams and traveling beds. <br /> <br />7.10. Hazardous Waste / Load Checking <br />Foothill Landfill operations incorporate the procedures of the County’s Hazardous Waste <br />Exclusion and Load Check Program (Appendix G) <br /> <br />7.11.
