3-8 <br />Unacceptable wastes that are discovered after the hauler has left are moved away from the <br />working area, contained or covered, and marked with the waste and generator information, <br />if known. If the customer that hauled the hazardous or unacceptable waste is known, the <br />RRF notifies them that the waste must be removed by an appropriate hauler and disposed <br />of at an appropriately licensed site. If the customer refuses, Forward Inc. contracts with a <br />hazardous waste hauler to remove and dispose of the waste properly and bills the customer <br />for the costs. <br />If hazardous materials are discovered that are not containerized such that reloading of the <br />waste onto the vehicle is not possible, the area is marked off to limit access and all <br />employees evacuate the spill area. The San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services <br />and other appropriate agencies are notified of the incident. The appropriate emergency <br />agency will handle the containment of the spill by site personnel or an appropriately licensed <br />private contractor. A hazardous materials contractor will handle the cleanup, manifesting, <br />and delivery of the spilled materials to an approved facility. <br />All hazardous waste disposal incidents are recorded on the load checking sheet and are <br />reported to the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Regional Water Quality <br />Control Board (RWQCB), LEA, and the California Emergency Management Agency Warning <br />Center. <br />The load checking program is explained in detail to all site personnel who are involved with <br />load inspections including the scalehouse attendant, load inspectors, transfer station <br />workers, and equipment operators. These employees also attend the Cal OSHA Hazardous <br />Waste and Emergency Response Course. The course emphasizes familiarity with the types <br />of containers and labels typically used for hazardous wastes and other hazardous materials. <br />The course is repeated annually and all new employees are enrolled in the course at the <br />earliest available class after their hire. In addition, personnel are trained in cardiopulmonary <br />resuscitation, first-aid, and respirator use. Highly visible signs, stating that no hazardous <br />wastes are accepted, are located at the site entrance and office trailer. <br />Results of the hazardous waste load checking program, including the quantities and types of <br />hazardous wastes or other unpermitted wastes found in the waste stream and disposition of <br />these wastes are reported to the LEA on a quarterly basis as specified in the current SWFP. <br />Any incident related to hazardous or unpermitted wastes are included in the site's Special <br />Occurrence Log, also in accordance with the SWFP. <br />3.1.9 Personnel Health and Safety Program (14 CeR, Section 17408.7) <br />In accordance with 14 CCR, Section 17408.7, the operator has prepared a Site Health and <br />Safety Plan in accordance with SB 198 (Injury and Illness Prevention Program [IIPP]). This <br />Plan is maintained at RRF main administration office and is also included as Appendix D. <br />Forward Resource Recovery Facility SWT Engineering <br />Transfer/Processing Report -MayJ..u.Iy 2014 <br />z:\projects\aliied waste\forward\resource recovery facility\5 yr permit rvw 2013-14\tpr 2014\text\sec3.doc
