Landfill will submit a written report describing the emergency and the procedures followed to minimize <br />potential hazards to the MPCA (typically within two weeks of the emergency). <br />4.3.1.2 Severe Rainfall <br />As soon as weather permits, inspect the site to determine any damage to the vegetation, berms, cap, <br />surface water controls, and monitoring systems. If damage is noticed, take measures to correct the <br />damage. For instance, place temporary erosion controls, such as soil fill, erosion control blanket or <br />mulch, to minimize further erosion. Place sand bags or riprap to stabilize facility features. Place <br />sandbags and temporary piping to make runoff controls temporarily functional. Remove any excess <br />sediment from runoff controls and outlets. <br />4.3.1.3 Flood <br />The Landfill is not within the floodplain; thus flooding of the facility is improbable. <br />4.3.1.4 Leachate Spill <br />Immediately retrieve any free liquid by pumping it into holding tanks, tank trucks or steel drums, and <br />apply absorbent materials to absorb un-pumpable liquid. If the spill is greater than 5 gallons, immediately <br />contact the State Duty Officer at (651) 296-8100. In such case, emergency actions will be implemented <br />immediately. <br />4.3.1.5 Grass Fire <br />Attempt to extinguish fire using water, fire extinguisher or soil. Contact the Elk River Fire Department for <br />assistance if necessary. Clear all access roads of equipment to facilitate emergency vehicle access. <br />If a fire affecting the site goes unreported during post -closure, the leachate tanker truck operator will <br />notice any related damage during his site visits. He will move to address these issues immediately by <br />notifying responsible Waste Management personnel of the damage. <br />4.3.1.6 Vandalism <br />For acts of vandalism that create hazards to human health and the environment, appropriate temporary <br />repairs should be performed as soon as possible to make the damaged system temporarily functional. <br />If a vandalism affecting the site goes unreported during post -closure, the leachate tanker truck operator <br />will notice any related damage during his site visits. He will move to address these issues immediately by <br />notifying responsible Waste Management personnel of the damage. <br />4.3.2 FOLLOW-UP TO EMERGENCY ACTIONS <br />As soon as possible following the occurrence and emergency response to an event requiring emergency <br />actions, a detailed inspection of the affected areas will be performed. The site operation team will <br />conduct the inspection. The purpose of the inspection will be to assess the degree and extent of <br />damage, if any, to the final cover, surface water controls, landfill gas management system, leachate <br />BProject Number: 227705133 4.3 <br />
