BFI's past experience has demonstrated that once a waste is incorporated into a <br />windrow and the windrow reaches temperature, the odors originating from the pile <br />are considerably reduced. BFI will therefore ensure that all waste is incorporated <br />into a windrow as quickly as possible. <br /> <br />Fires <br /> <br />Each piece of mobile equipment will have two fire extinguishes, and the office will <br />have two fire extinguishes. In the event of a fire due to a hot load, the landfill <br />supervisor will be notified, and the fire department will be called. <br /> <br />All emergency phone numbers will be posted next to the telephone in the office. <br /> <br />Dust <br /> <br />All composting will take place on a solid surface which will reduce dust emissions <br />common to equipment travel on unimproved surfaces. In the event dust becomes <br />a nuisance, BFI will, through best management practices, adopt appropriate <br />operational strategies to reduce any potential annoyance caused by excessive dust. <br /> <br />BFI will schedule turning events early in the morning before the winds increase <br />which will allow the dust to settle on the compost pad. Again, good housekeeping <br />will be practiced to avoid any accumulation of dry material on paved surfaces which <br />tend to become airborne during equipment travel. <br /> <br />Noise <br /> <br />All machinery with internal combustion engines will be properly maintained and will <br />have mufflers that will control the noise level eman. ating from these machines. The <br />equipment used in the compost operation will have noise levels similar to those <br />associated with landfill equipment. BFI anticipates the noise generated at the facilfty <br />tO be consistent with noise expected from a landfill; and should not create a <br />nuisance. <br /> <br /> 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
