Attention: Gene Klatt
Subject: Negative Declaration For The Tri-City Fire Station Project
Comments are provided on the initial study and mitigation measures regarding
the Tri-City Fire Station. These comments are addressed to landfill excavation
and landfill gas protection measures for the fire station.
A. Landfill Excavations
A primary mitigation measure to reduce potential landfill gas entering the
fire station is excavation of buried refuse in the proposed building area.
To accomplish this, the following should be considered:
I.
An Excavation Management Plan covering quantity and characteristics of
materials removed and safety measures taken shall be submitted and
approved by the San Bernardino County Department of Environmental Health
Services (D.E.H.S.) ,and 'the 'South Coast Air Quality Management District.
2. .
Before excavation can begin, two permits will be required: a California
Waste Management Board facility_permit issued by the San Bernardino County
Department of Environmental Health Services 'and a permit issued by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District. All applications and re-
quired information must be submitted to the San Bernardino County Depart-
ment of Environmental Health Services at least 120 days prior to commence-
ment of excavation.
3. . All excavated refuse shall be disposed of at an approved landfill and
not at the Tri-City Complex as proposed.
1,
Where hazardous waste is found, this waste shall be separated and disposed
of at an approved landfill.
5..
If problems arise during excavation, cease operation and notify D.E.H.S.
Operation will commence only after proper mitigation measures are taken.
~ The excavated site shali be filled with clean soil and compacted to
acceptable standards such as a minimum of 90 percent (ASTM procedure D1557)
to minimize settlement.
1 If not all of the buried refuse can be excavated, a new plan of action
shall be proposed for review and approval.
\;..-
8. . A monitoring program shall be conducted during excavation utilizing a
portable meter such as a Gas Tech Sniffer. The monitoring data shall
be sent to D.E.H.S. for review;
w \
Page 2
B. Landfill Gas Protection Measures
Protective measures should be taken based on the extent of landfill gas
migration found at the landfill perimeter. For this reason, a monitoring
program shall be. set up and consideration be given to the following items:
/. . Monitoring probes shall be installed between the fire station and the
landfill to determine the level of gas entering the project area. These
probes will form part of the Tri-City Development landfill gas monitoring
system.
~. . Since the fire station will be about 10 feet from the remaining landfill,
it is expected that gas migration will be significant and will require -
the proposed passive venting system be augmented with an active mode of
operation.
3. . The membrane placed under the fire station should be carefully sealed
and penetrations of the membrane should be minimized by installing
utilities above ground where possible.
-f.'
Proposed building probes or sensors to detect gas entering the building
should also include an automatic alarm system to warn when significant .
levels of gas is detected. This system should operate 24 hours/day,
7 days/week and monitoring data should also be collected and submitt~ed
to j);E.H.s.for review.
