5.3.5 Weigh stations. Class 1 NRCs are equipped with vehicle scales and a scale house. This facilitates weighing and documenting loads hauled by the County's vendors. 5.3.6 Landscapine. Landscaping serves to beautify NRCs and promote public perception of NRCs as neighborhood facilities as opposed to rubbish dumps. Landscaping at NRCs: • Consists primarily of native plants. • Features a variety of compatible plants. • Is maintenance free to the greatest extent possible. • Facilitates air flow and natural lighting on site. 5.3.7 Access. All NRC facilities, services, and programs satisfy the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. 5.3.8 Utilities. Class 1, 2, and 3 NRCs have water and electric service. In remote areas without public utility service, catchment water and solaz power supply facility needs. Wastewater disposal is on site, except where public wastewater systems aze available. Other sections in this chapter contain more details on utilities. 5.3.9 Securi .Chain link fences and gates aze installed to prevent after-hours vehiculaz access to Class 1, 2, and 3 NRCs. These NRCs have attendants or security guards who open and secure gates. To reduce costs, fencing does not extend around entire sites, but sensitive areas within the NRCs, such as the neighborhood enterprise centers, aze fenced and gated or otherwise secured. 5.3.10 Disaster miti ag tion. Solid waste management facilities aze critically needed following disasters. Damage prevention is essential to ensuring that NRCs and their equipment will be functional when needed. Inoperative NRCs or equipment may result in inability to move disaster debris, requiring establishment and operation of temporary sites elsewhere for debris storage and processing. Specific disaster mitigation measures are included elsewhere in this chapter. Critical pre-disaster steps to be taken by the County include: • Safeguazding as-built drawings of all NRCs. • Ensuring that insurance coverage is adequate. • Producing and periodically updating complete photographic records of all NRC facilities and equipment. • Maintaining complete financial records for every NRC, including design and construction costs, equipment purchase costs, and costs of major repairs. • Maintaining accurate records of materials flowing through each Class 1 and Class 2 NRC, to serve as a baseline in the event disaster debris must be handled. 5.4 Community Enterprise Center 5.4.1 NRC classes: 1, 2 32
