Aft,W- <br /> RE-PUBLIC <br /> SERVICES <br /> November 15, 2012 <br /> RE: Forward Landfill guidelines <br /> Dear Haulers: <br /> The purpose of this letter is to briefly introduce myself as the new Environmental Manager at <br /> Forward, Inc. (Forward). I have recently joined the team at Forward, and I am eager to work <br /> with all of you to achieve our environmental goals. <br /> As a recent transplant from Missouri, I have been spending much time getting familiar with <br /> environmental regulations from state, county, and local agencies in California. Due to the <br /> comprehensive nature of California's regulatory framework, I see the need to work closely not <br /> only with Forward's personnel, but also with each and every person that enters our facility, to <br /> maintain compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Therefore, I hope you will join <br /> • me in making Forward a safe and an environmentally responsible operation in addition to a <br /> profitable one by maintaining compliance with all governmental rules and regulations and <br /> Republic Services, Inc. policies. Specifically, please review the following topics and operate in <br /> accordance with these guidelines: <br /> ➢ Load safety (roll-offs) — Check cable for damage, loose threads, or frays. Always <br /> secure containers to the rails with the appropriate front attachments and an effective rear <br /> latching system while transporting the containers. <br /> ➢ Freeboard — Maintain sufficient freeboard, reduce speeds, and tarp loads to prevent the <br /> occurrence of avoidable spills. <br /> ➢ Safe speed — Obey all posted speed limits. Furthermore, sufficiently reduce speeds <br /> when traveling down hills, rounding corners, etc. such that you prevent shifting of loads. <br /> Shifting loads may lead to avoidable spills and/or dangerous working environments. <br /> ➢ Personal protective equipment — Wear approved hardhat and high-visibility vest or <br /> shirt at the disposal facility. <br /> ➢ Cleanout— Clean out residual waste from vehicles near the working face to ensure that <br /> residual waste from your truck can be covered in a timely manner. After dumping your <br /> load, position your vehicle such that you maintain a safe clearance between the working <br /> face, other vehicles and equipment, and yourself prior to cleaning out residual waste. <br /> Be aware of the potential hazards around you. <br /> ➢ Tarping — Secure tarps to prevent trash spillage. Replace deteriorated tarps. If hauling <br /> asbestos, solid tarps must be used. Keep your loads Carped all the way to the vicinity of <br /> 9999 South Austin Road <br /> • Manteca, CA 95336 <br /> (209) 982-4298/(209) 982-1009 fax <br /> EFanningdrepublicservices.com <br /> RRamirez5(ebrepublicservices.com <br />
