North County RC&SL Page 41 of 64 Public Works/Solid Waste Joint Technical Document County of San Joaquin – Revised July 14, 2025 • Other procedures as may be needed, as approved by the LEA The load check program assigns a refuse worker to check loads and visually monitor the unloading area. This worker examines the contents of the vehicles as they are unloading, checking for prohibited wastes. Random load checks are performed daily at both the landfill active face and the MRF. At each location, a vehicle is selected at random, and County staff closely inspects the material as it is removed from the customer’s vehicle. The results of these random checks are recorded, and the record stored at the site. If the hazardous waste material discovered in a customer’s load, then that material is sequestered from the waste stream in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program (Appendix G). Small quantities of hazardous waste are placed in the waste storage locker in the Recycling Center for later disposal at a hazardous waste treatment facility. Large quantities are staged on site until the customer arranges for removal at the customer’s expense by a contractor licensed to handle hazardous waste. If the customer cannot arrange for the removal of the hazardous waste, then County staff contacts a County vendor to remove and dispose of the waste. If non-hazardous but prohibited materials are discovered, then the customer is asked to retain those materials within their vehicles. Those customers are given information and directions to a waste facility licensed to receive such waste. 6.8 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS Nuisance is defined in Title 27 as “anything which is injurious to human health or is indecent or offensive to the senses and interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property”. Operations at NCRC&SL are conducted to control nuisance at the site.
