Ii. LOAD -CHECKING PROGRAM The key ellcti-tic,,nt, in the hazardous waste exclusion program for the Austin Road Landfill is a periodic load -checking, program. The prograi-ii foc:iis:,� c)T! Wa:-rtes delivered from commercial and industrial sources. The City of Stockton (herein after "City) will. and train a member of the City staff who will be responsible for conducting the periodic load -checking at the site. Backup personnel will also be trained. The City staff member will examine one or two loads on a random day each week. The objectives of the load -checking are to detect and discourage attempts to dispose of hazardous or designated unacceptable wastes at the site. Upon selecting a random load for inspection the following information will be recorded: 1) date, 2) time, 3) name of the hauling firm or vehicle owner, 4) name of the driver, 5) telephone number for contacting, 6) license plate number and truck. number of the vehicle and 7) the source (s) of the waste as stated by the vehicle driver. This information will be recorded on the date form shown in EXHIBIT 1. The form will be signed by the vehicle driver, the City employee, and an Austin Road Landfill (herein after "contractor") employee. The contractor will designate the location for discharging the wastes and instruct the driver to pull forward while unloading. In this way, the wastes will be formed into a long windrow. The wind --- row will then be torn down using a rake and/or shovel working along both sides of the pile. While tearing down the windrow, the material will be carefully observed for any hazardous or other unacceptable wastes that may be contained in the load. The City employee will sample any freely draining liquids seen during the process of raking out LhE- refuse, conduct simple field test by noting the pH, odor, color, and any comments on source of liquids. These observations will be recorded on the data sheet for the load. Page 2
