3-6 are notified of the incident. The appropriate emergency service agency will handle the containment of the hazardous waste. A hazardous materials contractor will handle the cleanup, manifesting, and transportation to an approved facility. All hazardous waste disposal incidents are documented and are reported to the DTSC, RWQCB, LEA, and the State Office of Emergency Services. Documentation is maintained on-site. If necessary, photographs are taken. A Contingency Plan was prepared to further address handling, storage, and removal procedures for hazardous/prohibited waste inadvertently accepted at the facility. The Contingency Plan is available upon request. The volume of traffic at the RRF, including the Compost Facility, cannot exceed 620 vehicles per day, which includes all traffic associated with the landfill operation. Based on maximum RRF and compost operations, the traffic would increase but under no circumstances will the operator allow the maximum traffic volume to exceed 620 vehicles per day. Material unloading areas were designed so that the northwest prevailing winds direct any windblown particles into the material stockpile or perimeter site fencing, rather than away from it. Facility staff regularly inspect and remove any windblown litter. 3.4.2 Material Preparation An integral part of composting operations is the grinding of incoming green and wood waste materials for size reduction. An operator is stationed by the equipment during all material grinding to ensure that the operation is conducted in a controlled and safe manner. The grinding is conducted in the green and wood waste grinding area, as shown on Figure 2. Facility grinders are equipped with locking controls to prevent unauthorized use. 3.4.3 Cleaning Compost Facility staff inspect the site on a daily basis to remove any windblown litter. All trucks must be tarped entering and exiting the facility (also tarped during transportation of waste - refer to landfill guidelines letter in Appendix A). Incoming loads are only allowed to untarp and tarp at the active unloading area. This policy will be strictly enforced. An ongoing daily litter collection program to minimize litter in areas surrounding the landfill property including the RRF and compost operation. Site personnel regularly patrol the overall property and pick up litter blown from the working areas of the RRF on a daily basis and as needed. If additional assistance is required beyond site personnel, temporary laborers are hired. The personnel should not only collect litter from the facility, but also the facility access, public/main roads, and adjoining property, provided the property owner will allow access. Litter is collected as far north as the intersection of Austin Road and Arch Road, and as far south as French Camp Road and Austin Road on a daily basis. All litter is collected along this section of the road. Litter caught on the fences is evaluated daily and removed as necessary. The processing area, including the interior of the tub grinder, is cleaned daily at the end of each shift. For additional information regarding litter control, refer to Section 3.6.5 and Appendix E-2. General cleaning of the Compost Facility pad, outdoor operations and storage areas is accomplished by permanent employee duty assignments with daily inspections to assure compliance. Loose materials and litter cleanup is accomplished by permanent employee duty assignments augmented with temporary personnel as needed. Daily inspections are conducted to maintain compliance.
