<br />LL Hazardous Waste Ex Program <br />February 2020 5 San Joaquin County <br /> PWD-Solid Waste <br />In this situation, the waste is removed from the site and disposed at a hazardous waste <br />facility by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. If the waste is containerized, it is <br />removed to an on-site hazardous waste storage locker. If it is not containerized, the <br />area is marked to adequately offset operations until the material is removed, and <br />procedures listed “Procedures for Handling Identified Hazardous Waste”, are followed <br />for disposal. <br /> <br />C. Random Load Checking <br /> <br />Commercial haulers are selected for random load checks because of the potentially large <br />quantity of unacceptable materials that could be delivered, and because commercial haulers <br />have an account with San Joaquin County through which the hauler can be billed for handling <br />costs, if necessary. <br /> <br />Each week day (Monday through Friday), supervisory staff will randomly select a collection <br />vehicle that dump on the commercial side of the transfer building for a load check. Vehicles will <br />include roll-off trucks, front-end loaders, rear loaders, and side loaders using the commercial <br />side of the tipping floor. <br /> <br />The selected vehicle will be routed to the tipping floor and the load will be spread to a depth of <br />about one foot using a front loader for inspection. Site staff will then inspect the load for <br />hazardous waste. <br /> <br />If unacceptable material is found in the load, the vehicle operator will be asked to remove the <br />material from the site. If the material cannot be removed, then the vehicle owner will be <br />contacted and given the opportunity to remove the hazardous waste within 24 hours. If the <br />owner declines to remove the material, then site staff will manage the material and will bill the <br />owner for the cost of handling. <br /> <br />Site staff will document the inspection of the attached form and completed forms will be retained <br />on-site. <br /> <br />
