<br /> <br />Foothill Sanitary Landfill Page 41 of 52 San Joaquin County DPW - Solid Waste <br />Joint Technical Document Revised 12/04/2025 <br /> <br />7.2.1. Refuse Fire Control: <br /> <br />x Burning waste detected before placement in the active cell will be isolated <br />from the active cell’s working area. This material will be doused with water <br />and spread to expose any burning material and will be disposed in the landfill <br />only after combustion is completely extinguished. <br />x If burning waste is detected in the active face after waste placement, then the <br />refuse disposal activities will be moved away from the affected area. Water <br />will be applied to extinguish the burning waste, and soil compacted over the <br />area to exclude oxygen. <br />x Linden Peters Fire Department will be called to extinguish large fires. <br />x The affected area will be checked after 24 hours for indication of burning. If <br />there is evidence of smoldering fires, then water will again be applied over <br />the burnt area and more soil will be placed. <br /> <br />7.2.2. Grass Fire Control: <br /> <br />x Small grass fires at the site if they occur are extinguished using the water <br />truck. <br />x Linden Peters Fire Department is notified regarding large fires beyond the <br />control of site personnel. <br /> <br />All fire incidents will be recorded in the Special Occurrences Log and the LEA will be <br />notified of the details of the incident. <br /> <br />7.3. Water Infiltration Control <br />The landfill operator uses daily cover and berms near the active area to divert storm <br />water away from the active area so that it does not come into contact with the waste; thereby <br />reducing the generation of leachate. <br /> <br />
