Forward has established several means to prevent any visible emissions outside of the designated ACW disposal area. First, all ACW is delivered contained in double bags, or equivalent containment, if bagging is not possible. In addition, either the generator, or the transporter, wets the ACW thoroughly in the bags before delivering the ACW to Forward. At the landfill, Forward personnel cover the ACW within one hour of unloading. They cover all ACW thoroughly with sufficient soil to provide complete coverage and prevent re-exposure during continuing disposal operations. Forward personnel cover the ACW using bulldozers and/or front-end loaders. Equipment operators exercise extreme caution to prevent breaking any bags. They cover the nearer bags with soil before moving equipment into the designated ACW disposal area to cover other bags. They cover all bags with a cushion of soil before advancing the equipment so that the equipment never contacts the bags. In this manner, Forward prevents any bags from breaking and prevents equipment from contacting ACW. In addition, Forward personnel water cover soils as necessary to prevent dust. In this manner, Forward prevents any visible emissions outside of the designated ACW disposal area. Entry to the ACW is controlled by several means. The landfill does not accept waste from the general public ("self-haul"). In addition, fences and/or topographic features (berms, creeks, vegetation, etc.) prevent unauthorized access to the facility. During operating hours, landfill personnel monitor and control access. Landfill gates are closed and locked securely when the landfill is closed. In addition, fences separate the designated ACW disposal area from the rest of the landfill. Appropriate warning signs are posted within and around the designated ACW disposal area. All Forward employees involved in the handling and disposal of ACW are equipped with a reusable half-face air-purifying respirator, goggles, hardhats, gloves, and disposable protective coveralls. Site personnel are trained in the proper use of protective gear and are fit tested for the respirator by the respirator's manufacturer or a certified representative. The employees receive initial and annual medical examinations to comply with OSHA Standards for possible exposure to asbestos and to determine their capability to perform required duties and wear a respirator. They also receive annual training by Cal Inc. For each job related to ACW management, the job title, name of person filling that job, description of the job, and description of the type and amount of training relative to ACW management required for that job, are summarized below.
