3-4 <br /> Health Program through the School of Public Health. The course emphasizes familiarity with <br /> the types of containers and labels typically used for hazardous wastes and other hazardous <br /> materials. The course is repeated annually, and all new employees are enrolled in the <br /> course at the earliest available class after their hire. In addition, landfill personnel are <br /> trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first-aid, and respirator use. Highly visible signs, <br /> stating that no hazardous wastes are accepted, are located at the site entrance and office <br /> trailer. <br /> Results of the hazardous waste load checking program, including the quantities and types of <br /> hazardous wastes or other unpermitted wastes found in the waste stream and disposition of <br /> these wastes are reported to the LEA on a quarterly basis as specified in the current SWFP. <br /> Any incident related to hazardous or unpermitted wastes are included in the site's log of <br /> special/unusual occurrences, also in accordance with the SWFP. <br /> 3.4 UNIVERSAL WASTE PROCEDURES <br /> As indicated in Section 1.1, universal wastes are prohibited for disposal at Forward Landfill. <br /> Universal waste includes the following: <br /> ♦ Batteries (rechargeable, alkaline, carbon-zinc, button-type, small sealed lead-acid); <br /> ♦ Mercury-containing Lamps (fluorescent tubes and bulbs, high-intensity discharge, <br /> metal halide, sodium and neon); <br /> ♦ Mercury Thermostats and Thermometers; <br /> ♦ Electronic Devices (CRT and flat-panel televisions and computer monitors, laptop <br /> computers, computers (CPUs), printers, VCRs, cell phones, telephones, radios, <br /> microwave ovens and other devices containing circuit boards); <br /> ♦ Electrical Switches and Relays containing mercury (some chest freezers, electric <br /> space heaters, clothes irons, silent light switches, pre-1972 washing machines); <br /> ♦ Pilot Light Sensors with mercury containing switches (some gas appliances - stoves, <br /> ovens, clothes dryers, water heaters, furnaces,space heaters); <br /> ♦ Mercury Gauges (barometers, manometers, blood pressure,vacuum gauges); <br /> ♦ Mercury Added Novelties (singing greeting cards, athletic shoes with flashing lights in <br /> sole if made prior to 1997, mercury maze games); and <br /> ♦ Non-Empty Aerosol Cans that contain hazardous materials. <br /> As discussed in Section 3.2, employees who inspect loads are trained to identify prohibited <br /> or suspicious wastes, such as universal waste. If universal waste is detected in a load, the <br /> operator tells the customer to either remove the waste from the landfill or have the waste <br /> removed by an approved hauler. The appropriate form will be completed to document the <br /> operator's rejection of the universal waste. <br /> If universal waste is found at the active disposal area after the hauler has left the landfill, <br /> the universal waste is picked-up using a loader and moved to one of two universal waste <br /> Forward Landfill SWT Engineering <br /> Load Checking Program <br /> z:\projects\allied waste\forward\five year permit rvw 2013\jtd-5 yr pr 2013\appendices\app s - load check program (swt, <br /> 2013)\hold\sec3_fina I.doc <br />
