Job Description: The TSM/SWL performs technical review to assure that Forward Landfill accepts only that waste that is.allowed by our permit. This includes reviewing waste profile forms for special waste such as ACW, contaminated soil, sludge, etc. and laboratory analytical reports and MSDS that are submitted with the profile forms. The TSM/SWL reviews the lab reports to confirm that the waste being profiled is neither California nor RCRA hazardous (or has an exemption from the Department of Toxic Substance Control, like ACW). The TSM/SWL also checks to see that sufficient analytical testing has been preformed on the waste. The TSM/SWL works with clients to assist them with the profiling process, completing waste profiles and manifests, and selecting specific tests to be run on their waste. With regard to ACW, the TSM/SWL provides the initial technical review to determine if a specific quantity of waste is acceptable for disposal at Forward Landfill. If the ACW is acceptable, the TSM/SWL assigns an approval number to that specific discrete quantity of ACW and forwards the approval number to the scale house attendants. (NOTE: The TSM/SWL is the only job position involved in managing ACW that the Operations Manager does not supervise and direct.) 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 Forward Landfill JTD 6-25 J:\Allied\Forward\JTD Amendment\January2006 JTD Amendment\JTD Sec 6 012506 Accept.doc: 5/22/02;Rev.1:7/2002:Rev.2:4/2003;Rev 3:6/2003;Amendment No.1:1/26/2006 ®RYAN A.STIRRAT 6 ASSOCIATES
