LFR Inc. ensured that trucks were loaded within their load limit and that the hauling process was optimized. Trucks then proceeded to the decontamination and tarping area where they were cleaned and covered by SCI support staff (Photograph 6). Truck decontamination proceeded in two stages. The first stage consisted of multiple laborers working in shifts (to minimize stress and potential exposure to waste materials). One SCI laborer directed and stopped each truck while two to three other laborers climbed elevated scaffolding platforms and brushed Photograph 5 the outer walls and the top of the Truck on scale being trimmed to meet weight trailer. The laborers then covered requirements the trucks with the truck's dedicated tarp to prevent loss of waste during transport. After each truck was brushed and covered, it proceeded to the second stage. The second stage consisted of a gravel pad, approximately 20 feet wide and 100 feet long, laid with 1.5- to 2-inch crushed rock. The purpose of this gravel pad was to remove any remaining waste material that may have accumulated in the treads of the tires before the truck left the Site. The truck then proceeded to the manifest area, where the driver gathered the appropriate paperwork from the manifest coordinator (a representative from Denbeste Trucking) for transporting the waste to the intended landfill. The manifests were signed by either the CIWMB Project Manager or by a designated representative of the State. At no point during the loading or decontamination process was the truck driver allowed to exit the truck. This procedure was implemented to minimize the driver's potential exposure to waste materials during the loading and decontamination process.
