a separated from other waste es. To facilitate All ACW Is landfilled In an are p types. environmentally sound and economic operations, Forward maintains the designated ACW disposal area near the active working area face. Thus, the designated ACW disposal area at Forward moves with the active working face about the site, and Forward uses a number of designated ACW disposal areas throughout the year. Each time that a new ACW disposal area is established, a licensed surveyor surveys the previous area and prepares a plat recording the location. Typically, the designated ACW disposal area is roughly rectangular in shape, and the surveyor records both the horizontal and vertical location of each corner. Forward submits the survey plats to the LEA in accordance with the schedule established by the LEA. An example survey plat is included in Appendix M. 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 Forward Landfill JTD 6-20 J:\Allied\ForwardUTD Amendment\Final JTD Amendment\JTD Sec 6 080105.doc:5/22/02 Rev.1:7/2002:Rev.2:4/2003;Rev 3:6/2003 BRYAN A.STIRRAT 6 ASSOCIATES Amendment No.1:8/1/2005
