1992 <br /> OPERATION OF THE <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH <br /> SOILS RECYCLING FACILITY <br /> I DI , CA <br /> Before Any soil will be accepted at the facility, the generator <br /> must complete a Contaminated Soil Characterization form. Within <br /> five working days after the receipt of all requested information, <br /> WSR will notify the generator regarding the acceptability of the <br /> soil . If the soil is acceptable, a letter authorizing shipment of <br /> the 'soil to the facility will be issued to the generator. All <br /> authorization letters will limit the soil volume which can be <br /> shipped to the facility based on the estimate of the generator's <br /> consultant or, in the case of larger sites, the estimate made by <br /> WSR personnel during a visit to the generating site. A copy of <br /> the authorization letter must accompany each load of soil <br /> received at the facility. <br /> Contaminated soils will be transported to the facility by <br /> independent waste haulers who are properly registered to <br /> transport wastes of this type. ased on the facility capacity of <br /> 100 tons per day, the truck traffic to the facility will be 5 to <br /> 10 truck trips per day. <br /> Incoming loads will be weighed" on the existing truck scales at <br /> California Waste Removal Systems. The letter authorizing <br /> acceptance of the soil must accompany each load and be preseinted <br /> to the weighmaster. Without this letter, the load will be <br /> rejected. After weighing, the load will proceed to the facility <br /> site where a representative core sample of the load will be <br /> obtained and analyzed by the on site lab technician. This <br /> procedure will further ensure the soil is non-hazardous, <br /> representative of the pre-accepted material and is suitable for <br /> treatment by the thermal processing unit: <br /> Soils which are accepted at the facility will be unloaded into <br /> the contaminated soil stockpile area. The soil,, as it is being <br /> transferred to the stockpile, shall be moistened and will be <br /> maintained in a moist condition during storage. After unloading, <br /> the trucks will be cleaned and loaded with treated soil before <br /> leaving the facility. <br /> A rubber-tiared front loader with a one cubic yard bucket will <br /> feed the contaminated soil into a bar screen to remove material <br /> greater than 1 .5 inches in size. From the bar screen, the soil is <br /> forwarded to the thermal processing unit by an enclosed belt <br /> conveyor. The oversized material will be stored in the <br /> contaminated soil stockpile area pending the results of analyses <br /> to determine the contaminant concentrations in the material . <br /> Depending upon the nature of the material (rock, clay, wood, <br /> metal, etc. ) and the contaminant concentrations, the material <br />
