Load Checking Program Tracy Material Recovery&Transfer Facility 30703 S. MacArthur Drive,Tracy,CA 95377 6.1. Constant Visual Fee Collectors, Spotters and Equipment Operators watch for PW while performing their assigned duties. When PW is spotted or suspected in a waste load by a Fee Collector or Traffic Director, these employees will question the driver and inform the customer that the waste is prohibited. If it is possible to do so, they will inform the customer without leaving their assigned area. If further communications or action is necessary, these employees must notify load check personnel to have them perform a targeted load check on the suspect waste load. If PW above incidental quantities is spotted by an Equipment Operator in the waste stream, the Equipment Operator must not push the suspect waste load and must notify load check personnel to have them perform a targeted load check on the suspect waste. Fee Collectors, Spotters and Equipment Operators may not perform load checks or handle PW unless they have been trained and approved by the Operations Manager to perform load check duties. 6.2. Random Routine The Facility will complete a minimum of 1 random routine load checks on incoming waste loads per day. To perform random routine load checks, the load check staff will: • Inform the Equipment Operators and spotter that random routine load checks will be performed prior to performing the load checks. • Coordinate with the Equipment Operator and spotter to establish a load check Will area. • Set up delineators to designate a load check area on the tipping floor area, allowing for a minimum of 15 feet clearance between the load check staff and other vehicles or equipment. • Select a vehicle at random and, with the help of spotter, direct the vehicle into the load check area. • Inform the driver of the vehicle that their waste load has been selected for a routine load check for PW. • Record the inspection information on the load check form. • Ask the driver to unload or dump their waste in a manner that spreads the waste allowing for easy inspection of the waste load. • Use a rake to examine the waste pile for PW material. • Segregate any PW found in the load and accurately record the PW on the load check form. • Return the PW to the generator at the time of inspection or temporarily store the waste in the onsite hazardous waste storage container to be removed by the Household Hazardous Waste contractor, or be returned to the generator at a later time as indicated in Section 9. 6.3. Targeted Non-Routine Targeted non-routine load checks are performed when the load check staff or any other Facility employee suspects PW in quantities above incidental amounts 10
