In the event that a hazardous or prohibited waste is detected as part of the load checking program, as discussed in Section 3.1.8, it will be either rejected or, if the hauler cannot be identified, the waste will be separated or cordoned off until the appropriate authorities ,are contacted. ItJ4hazardous wastes--tf:lat are discovered after the hauler has left the site . it is-are either 1) moved away from the working area, contained, and marked with the waste and generator information (if known }, 2) moved to the hazardous waste storage locker (located at the southwest corner of the RRF -see Figure -.8.-9 ) for temporary (less than 90 days) storage prior to proper offsite disposal or 3) if it is an unknown hazardous waste ~ it will be left in place, cordoned off, and the area evacuated until proper authorities arrive onsite. The storage locker is a special chemical storage building that is kept locked. Wastes are removed from the locker before any waste has been stored for 90 days, or once the locker reaches 90 percent of its capacity, which ever happens first. Containers of hazardous waste are labeled with the customer's name and the date and time of delivery. In the event of a spill, the LEA will be contacted within 24 hours .

Section 17409.5) In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17409.5(a), the operator flas-implement~ea a load - checking program at the RRF. The hazardous waste screen ing program for the site is conducted consistent ' .... ith the Load Cheol(ing Program for the Forward Landfill (Forward , Inc., December 1992, Appendix E). The load checking program is designed to monitor incoming load to detect unacceptable materials and /or waste at the RRF. The load checking program describes how waste loads are inspected for hazardous wastes, designated wastes, and other unacceptable wastes that cannot be accepted at the RRF . Site personnel are trained in the recognition, proper handling, and disposition of prohibited waste. Detailed information pertaining to the load checking program is contained in Appendix E. In general, the load checking program consists of the foliowingtRree basic components: load inspection, training of on-site personnel, and signage. The element of load inspection consists of load checking at the tipping areas within the transfer building. The equipment operator(s) check for hazardous or unacceptable waste at the unloading area. All personnel are experienced and trained in identifying potentially unacceptable wastes with in the dumped loads. One staff person will be assigned to inspect for unacceptable wastes. If hazardous or unaeeeptab le waste is detected, the operator tells the customer to remove the waste from the site by a lieensed hazardous waste hauler under the manifest system. If unacceptable waste that is not hazardous is detected, the operator tells the customer to either remove the waste from the landfill or have the waste removed by an appropriate hauler to an approved facility. If hazardous waste is detected . the waste is Forward Resource Recovery Facility SWT Engineering Transfer/Processing Report -May 2014 z:\projects \allied waste \forward V esource recovery fac ility \5 yr perm it rvw 2013·14\tpr 2014\textV ev tra ck \sec3·rev tr.do c
