Training: The TSM/SWL job requires a working knowledge of RCRA, and Title 22. Some familiarity with laboratory procedures and analytical methods is also required. In addition, the TSM/SWL must be familiar with applicable portions of Title 14 and Title 27. Since this is a professional technical position, Forward expects all applicants for this job to have sufficient knowledge of these items without needing additional training from Forward Landfill. The current TSM/SWL has obtained this knowledge by working in the environmental consulting industry for over three years prior to working for Forward Landfill, taking classes from Lion Technology on waste management (both RCRA and Title 22), taking classes from SWANA (MOLO Training etc.) and learning from other experts in the industry "on the job." In addition, the TSM/SWL must be familiar with Forward Landfill's SWFP, WDR, other permits, and operational requirements. Forward Landfill management personnel provide this through "on the job" training. This training is not documented. The Operations Manager conducts daily inspections of the current designated ACW disposal area and any past designated ACW disposal areas that have been active recently enough to warrant inspection. The inspections include checking for deterioration; operator errors; problems with cover; leakage or discharges that may result in either a release to the environment, or a threat to human health; and any other items of concern. The Operations Manager records these inspections on a form that Forward has prepared specifically for this purpose. A copy of this form is included in Appendix M. Forward Landfill retains these forms for at least three years from the date of each inspection. The Forward Landfill Contingency Plan is included in Appendix J. The plan describes the actions Forward personnel will take to respond to a release of ACW. In addition, prior to any excavations, or other activities that may disturb buried ACW, Forward will review the records of ACW disposal to determine if the proposed activities are likely to disturb buried ACW. The most likely activity that may disturb buried ACW is installation of landfill gas (LFG) collection wells, or trenches. If any disturbance is likely, or possible, Forward will prepare an excavation management plan that meets the requirements of 14CCR 17897.21(b). If the proposed disturbance is installation of LFG collection facilities, the plans and specifications for the installation will be submitted as a separate, stand alone document as set forth in 14CCR 17897.21.
