PHASE II Visual Screening of Tipping Floor <br /> The second phase of screening wastes shall be conducted by the station personnel while <br /> sorting the waste. This is done not only to keep hazardous waste out of the landfill, but <br /> for their own safety. <br /> The station personnel shall be trained to visually recognize hazardous wastes. They shall <br /> also be trained in the proper handling procedures for hazardous wastes. <br /> If hazardous materials are detected, the area shall be isolated immediately with traffic <br /> cones or similar devices. The San Joaquin County Department of Environmental Health, <br /> (LEA), 209-468-3400, shall be notified immediately. If the LEA determines it to be <br /> necessary, the Department of Health Services shall be notified. <br /> The waste shall remain isolated and undisturbed until the LEA decides on a proper <br /> disposal method that is in accordance with State hazardous waste handling procedures. <br /> If the LEA determines that it is safe, an effort should be made to look for a name, <br /> address or phone number on or around the hazardous waste so that the disposer of the <br /> hazardous materials can be contacted, educated in proper disposal methods of hazardous <br /> wastes and billed for the removal of the wastes. <br /> The operator that discovers the wastes shall complete a full report that describes the type <br /> and ouantitv of hazardous waste found, the time and circumstances of the hazarta douses <br /> waste discovery, the isolation measures taken, any information that may identify the <br /> ori in of the wastes and any other pertinent information. This report shall be complete <br /> when the hazardous waste is secured and submitted by the facility supervisor to the LEA <br /> within 24 hours. <br /> No hazardous waste will be stored at the facility for extended periods. The waste will <br /> be removed within 144 hours by a licensed hauler and disposed of in a proper location <br /> as determined by the LEA. <br /> A hazardous material storage locker will be available adjacent to the MRF/Transfer <br /> Station Building for temporary storage of hazardous materials. <br /> UTROIF,C 097V.1RFIRSI.AK -4 Fexuuy 1,1994 <br />
