April 4, 2012 Wastes must not leave the landfill on workers' clothing. Workers who have had direct contact with waste, or who have performed operations that may involve direct contact with wastes (such as equipment maintenance or asbestos handling), will wear disposable clothing or change clothing before leaving the site. The potentially contaminated clothing will be cleaned or disposed as appropriate. To avoid cross-contamination from contaminated to non-contaminated sites, the applicant will provide a portable decontamination facility with self- contained water supply for personnel and equipment. For asbestos, a strict Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM) handling program will be developed, and will include the following: ( ) Bagged ACM will be dumped only onto the working face of the asbestos disposal area and not onto the flat compacted landfill surface. Bulldozers will then push soil cover onto the working face to cover the ACM bags and will not contact the bags. (b) For Forward site employees engaged in handling asbestos materials, Forward will implement one of the following: • a three day approved asbestos workers training program • any asbestos training program specific to landfill employees that has been developed, described, or required by regulation by either CalRecycle or Cal-OSHA • any other asbestos training program approved by Cal-OSHA (c) Provision of water at the working face to keep ACM damp until covered. Continuation of the annual physical evaluations of all on-site Forward employees for asbestos exposure. Workers will not be allowed to eat near the active landfill. Current Status: The landfill does not accept hazardous waste. As discussed in the Joint 'rechnical Document, Forward Landfill (BAS et al., 2003) (JTD) all employees are given training that complies with the Use Permit conditions regarding the potential for exposure to hazardous materials.
