The load checking program is designed to find prohibited waste <br /> before it is disposed and to have the customer remove such waste <br /> from the site for proper disposal. Once prohibited wastes have <br /> been deposited at the site, the Program attempts to detect <br /> prohibited wastes in containers greater than five gallons in <br /> capacity or spills and provide- for cleanup and ultimate disposal <br /> of these materials. <br /> The steps involved in the load checking program are summarized in <br /> the flow chart shown as Exhibit 2. These steps include both <br /> situations for which the prohibited waste is removed from the <br /> site when requested by the load checker and situations for which <br /> the County must perform ultimate disposal. The actions taken <br /> upon the discovery of prohibited waste are as follows: <br /> A. LOAD CHECKER FINDSPROHIBITEDMATERIALS BEFGRE CUSTOMER <br /> LEAVES SIJB: <br /> Typically, the load checker will observe prohibited waste <br /> being dumped from a vehicle and will instruct the customer <br /> that such waste is considered hazardous and is not accepted <br /> at the NCRC&SL. The customer is then advised to remove the <br /> materials from the site and dispose of them at a site <br /> licensed to accept such waste or to have a licensed hazardous <br /> waste hauler dispose of the materials. The customer is given <br /> a brochure (see Exhibit 7) which describes prohibited <br /> materials and gives sources of information for disposal <br /> methods of the more common prohibited material. Also, the <br /> customer is advised to contact the San Joaquin County <br /> Department of Public Works, Solid Waste Division at <br /> (209) 468-3066, for further information on how to dispose of <br /> the materials, and the incident is recorded in the Load <br /> Checker's Log kept by the load checker. <br /> If the hazardous materials are not containerized such that <br /> the customer may transport them from the site, or if the <br /> customer refuses to remove the material, the customer is <br /> informed that -the County will contract with a licensed <br /> hazardous waste hauler to perform cleanup, removal, and <br /> ultimate disposal of the materials. The customer will be <br /> billed for the costs incurred. The incident is logged in the <br /> Load Checker's Log and the site's Special Occurrence Log. <br /> The site's supervisory personnel follows the procedures <br /> listed in Section IV, "Procedures' for Handling Identified <br /> Hazardous Waste, " for performance of ultimate disposal. <br /> -3- <br />
