IV. PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING IDENTIFIED HAZARDOUS WASTE <br />If hazardous or other prohibited wastes are found after being <br />deposited at the site, landfill personnel will move the <br />unloading operations to a safe area and place traffic cones <br />around the affected area. If the prohibited wastes are safely <br />containerized for on-site moving, the site foreman directs <br />landfill workers to move these materials to temporary storage. <br />Materials will be moved to an on-site temporary storage locker <br />for disposal within 90 days. A "Safety Storage, Incorporated, <br />Model 10", chemical storage locker has been installed at the site <br />for this purpose. This storage locker is provided with secondary <br />containment, explosion venting and may be moved with a forklift. <br />Specifications for this storage locker are contained in <br />Exhibit 5. Since the waste stored in the locker will be removed <br />within 90 days, the locker is not required to be permitted as a <br />hazardous waste storage facility. <br />The County contracts removal of hazardous waste with a licensed <br />hazardous waste hauler when necessary. <br />If the wastes are a spill, or are not adequately containerized <br />for on-site moving or storage, the San Joaquin Local Health <br />District is contacted immediately by telephone and given details <br />of the incident. Upon being given a description of the materials <br />and situation, the Health District gives directions to the fore- <br />man or proceeds to the site if necessary and provides direction <br />
