If the load is acceptable, the customer is directed to the appropriate location <br /> in the material unloading and processing area. The load checker visually <br /> inspects the load as it is unloaded and any unacceptable feedstock is <br /> removed immediately by the customer or removed from the site within 48 <br /> hours and transported to a permitted landfill for disposal. <br /> Feedstock is transported from the unloading area to the processing area. <br /> Wood and green waste are processed with a Diamond Z grinder. The grinder <br /> is fed material by an excavator or wheel loader. Material processed by the <br /> grinder is either stockpiled on the concrete pad for daily off-site removal, or <br /> transferred to the composting pad for composting. <br /> Material processed at the site is used as a biomass fuel product for various <br /> power plants throughout northern California. Composted materials are <br /> screened and sold to a bulk landscape market or packaged at an onsite <br /> bagging operation for retail sale. A portion of the compost is also used as <br /> Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) at the existing Forward Landfill. <br /> Compost materials are removed from the site as soon as possible. In the <br /> event of a fire, fire extinguishers are on all heavy equipment and in the <br /> resource recovery facility building. Pressurized water is also available at the <br /> resource recovery facility. In addition, the water trucks at the landfill are <br /> available for emergencies. <br /> 6.6 HEALTH AND SAFETY <br /> The following ongoing practices minimize potential health hazards to site <br /> operating personnel: <br /> • Training and directing all site personnel to identify potentially harmful <br /> wastes that may be delivered to the site. <br /> • Mandatory asbestos training program to inform asbestos workers of <br /> potential health hazards associated with asbestos. <br /> • Minimizing the personnel's exposure to wastes that may present a health <br /> hazard. <br /> • Maintaining on-site first-aid supplies. <br /> • Training site personnel in safe operating procedures (including Hazardous <br /> Forward Landfill JTD 6-27 <br /> L:\Allied\2000.193\Reports\finaljtd:Sec-6.0 6-9-03:5/22/02 <br /> Rev. 1: 7/2002: Rev. 2: 4/2003; Rev 3: 6/2003 <br />
