1 <br />The City of Everett <br />The Floyd & Snider Team Everett Landfill/Tire Fire Site <br />3.4.2.5 Contingency Plan Triggers <br />Actuation of the continuous alarm set at 1,000 ppm would cause the SCSWD to implement <br />contingency measures. <br />3.4.2.6 Contingency Plan <br />Contingency measures will be implemented in the order they are presented below. <br />The alarm will be set at 1,000 ppm to sound an audible alarm. Employees will be instructed to <br />open doors, increase ventilation, and notify the SCSWD, Everett Public Works Department and <br />Fire Department if an alarm sounds. <br />Additional measures that SCSWD could take include: <br />• Ventilating the building <br />• Pinpointing, if possible, the entry point of methane into the building <br />• Seal, block or otherwise stop the methane entry <br />• Increase the normal air exchange rate within the building <br />• Remove skirts from portable buildings <br />• Improve ventilation beneath buildings <br />• Improve the traps in sanitary sewers and check that they are full of water <br />• Post "Warning/Do Not Enter/No Smoking" signs at the entry to confined spaces <br />outside and/or underneath the buildings <br />• Localized vacuum extraction wells <br />The potential solution would be reviewed and approved by Ecology. <br />3.4.3 OFF -SITE BUILDING GAS MONITORING <br />3.4.3.1 Sampling and Inspection Plan <br />Three buildings on the north side of the landfill and three buildings on the west side of the <br />landfill will be monitored. A trained, qualified technician will conduct periodic sampling and <br />inspection. The technician will use an appropriate methane detection field instrument capable <br />of accurately measuring concentrations down to less than five ppm. <br />With owner permission, the monitoring technician will check every ground floor room within each <br />building with the monitoring instrument. The breathing zone within the building will be tested <br />generally. Any penetration of the building structure will be tested. Penetrations include cracks <br />in the floor and retaining walls, floor drains, sinks, toilets, showers, and tubs, interior ends of <br />incoming utility conduits, power panels, and phone panels or switchboxes. <br />The monitoring technician will also check exterior enclosed spaces by inserting the instrument <br />probe into the space (no personnel entry). Enclosed spaces to be checked may include crawl <br />spaces under buildings, manholes, roof drains, and catch basins. <br />FAprojects\COEµBR Everett Landfill\PDF maker - final docs\Compliance Compliance Monitoring and Contingency Plan <br />Monitoring Plan\CMCP 11-10-OO.doc p 9 9 Y <br />FINAL - March 2001 Page 3-6 <br />
