(5) Will not invo/ve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, g/are, odors, dust or vibrations. Traffic. The expanded Landfill will not generate excessive traffic. Traffic issues were addressed in the Scoping EAW for the initially-proposed 73.4-acre expanded Landfill. No additional traffic is expected to be generated by the operations. The Scoping EAW concluded that since the overall operation of the initially-proposed 73.4-acre expanded Landfill is not anticipated to include significant increases in waste flow over the current operation, effects on traffic congestion would be expected to be minimal. Noise. No additional operating noise is expected to be generated by the 27.2-acre expanded Landfill. As is currently the practice, noise will be minimized through the following: All equipment and vehicles utilized at the landfill site will be periodically inspected and maintained to minimize noise. Applicable state standards for noise pollution will not be exceeded by the landfill operation, equipment, vehicles, or machinery. Smoke. The expanded Landfill will not generate smoke. Fumes. See Odor discussion in the statements regarding CUP finding number 1. Glare. The expanded Landfill will not utilize lighting that will create glare or light trespass issues. Odors. See Odor discussion in the statements regarding CUP finding number 1. Dust. Fugitive dust emissions off-site will be controlled at the landfill site as necessary by undertaking the following and in accordance with the facility's Fugitive Emissions Control Plan: ERL staff regularly checks for dust and other fugitive emissions in accordance with the Fugitive Emissions Control Plan. Road surfaces within the landfill site will be wetted with water or an appropriate chemical whenever off-site dust levels become unreasonable as determined by the Environmental Administrator. Dust pollutives will be utilized to the extent necessary on cover material such as stockpiles to reduce wind erosion as well as on other exposed surfaces as appropriate. Cover compaction and revegetation activities will be undertaken promptly on the completion of various fill areas and vegetative cover capable of quick growth will be utilized. Vibration.
