maintained for optimal environmental protection. Forward regularly evaluates its asbestos-handling procedures and, as needed, upgrades the site operations and standards to exceed those required by local, state, and federal regulations. The control program for managing ACW at the Forward Landfill consists of a number of integrated procedures. Initially (prior to delivery), the generator, or transporter, must submit information characterizing the ACW to the Technical Service Manager/ Special Waste Liaison (TSM/SWL). In addition, the generator/transporter certifies that this information is representative of the material proposed for disposal at Forward Landfill. The TSM/SWL will review this information to verify that the ACW is acceptable for disposal at Forward. If the ACW is acceptable, the TSM/SWL will issue an approval number for that specific, discrete quantity of ACW. The delivery of all ACW to the Forward Landfill must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance by the generator or transporter. Upon arrival at the landfill, the transporter must provide the proper documentation, including a completed Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest and required notification (including 22 CCR Section 66268.7) and certification forms, including the approval number issued by the TSM/SWL. The scalehouse attendant checks all documents for accuracy and completeness. If all documents are in order, the scalehouse attendant will give the transporter a Load Check Form and direct him to proceed to the working face. (NOTE: Scale house personnel give all dr-ugvr5 drives Load Check Forms before allowing them to proceed to the working face.) The Load Check Form notes that the waste is ACW and documents the fact that the scale house attendant has checked all documents associated with that specific load and has approved the load for disposal. Absolutely no ACW is accepted unless the above protocol has been satisfied. At the working face, all drivers must give the Load Check Form to the Load Checker before they are allowed to unload. The Load Checker reviews the information on the Load Check Form to verify that the load is acceptable for disposal and to confirm the type of waste in ,the load. The Load Checker then directs the driver to the designated ACW disposal area where the driver"tips" the load. The Load Checker also collects the Load Check Forms for filing and reconciliation with scale house records for the day. Forward receives ACW only in double bags that remain intact and requires generators/transporters to confirm that they have adequately wetted ACW in Forward Landfill JTD 6-17 L:\Allied\2000.193\Reports\finaljtd:Sec-6.0 6-9-03:5/22/02 Rev. 1: 7/2002: Rev. 2: 4/2003; Rev 3: 6/2003
