Project Description Tracy Material Recovery Facility and Transfer Station Expansion 30703 S. MacArthur Drive, Tracy, Califomia 95377 Hazardous Waste Exclusion Pro ram Only non-hazardous wastes will be accepted at the site for processing. Load checking by trained collection personnel will be employed to prevent receipt of discarded hazardous materials at this site. There is an approved Hazardous Materials Business Plan on file with the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Division to account for vehicle/equipment fuel, solvents, and other materials kept on the site and used for maintenance activities and provide for emergency response measures involving those inventoried materials. Safety equipment is available and accessible to all personnel and customers. Eyewashes and first-aid kits will be located in the MRF/TS building and Administrative Office/Maintenance building for quick access. Workers will be equipped with appropriate safety clothing, including gloves, hard hats, ear protection and goggles. Where appropriate, additional specialty clothing will be provided, such as international orange vests or aprons noise protection, dust masks, etc. Employees will be trained in the use of the aforementioned safety equipment. Universal Waste and Electronic Wastes: Universal wastes and electronic wastes are managed at the facility. Changing state regulations has created this new class of wastes (computer screens, televisions, thermostats, fluorescent lighting tubes, and batteries) whose content of certain hazardous components (e.g. mercury and cadmium) requires special handling. The goal of the Universal Waste Rule is to prevent landfilling and encourage recycling. The Transfer Station will provide temporary storage as shown on the Site Plan. Title 22CCR, Section 66273.35 requires large quantity handlers (greater than 5,000 kg. at any one time) comply with: • Storage less than one year, • Marking or labeling receipt date, • Inventory control system, and • Maintaining a specific accumulation area. Hazardous and universal wastes encountered as part of the site's Load Checking Program are temporarily stored for up to 90 days in appropriate containers within the Transfer Station pending transferring to a certified recycling facility.
