The Tracy Material Recovery and Transfer Facility was the only transfer station <br /> and material recovery facility in San Joaquin County with this requirement. The permit was revised so that LEA <br /> condition"M"read,"Personnel working with the load screening program shall be trained to recognize hazardous <br /> wastes.
