3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The load checking program is designed to find prohibited waste before it is disposed of and to have <br />the customer remove such waste from the site for proper disposal. Once prohibited wastes have <br />been deposited at the site, the Program attempts to detect prohibited wastes in containers greater <br />than five gallons in capacity or spills and provide for cleanup and ultimate disposal of these materials. <br /> <br />The steps involved in the load checking program are summarized in the flow chart shown as Exhibit <br />2. These steps include both situations for which the prohibited waste is removed from the site when <br />requested by the load checker and situations for which the county must perform ultimate disposal. <br />The actions taken upon the discovery of prohibited waste are as follows: <br /> <br />A. LOAD CHECKER FINDS PROHIBITED MATERIALS BEFORE CUSTOMER <br />LEAVES SITE: <br /> <br /> Typically, the load checker will observe prohibited waste being dumped from a vehicle and will <br />instruct the customer that such waste is considered hazardous and is not accepted at the <br />NCRC&SL. The customer is then advised to remove the materials from the site and dispose of <br />them at a site licensed to accept such waste or to have a licensed hazardous waste hauler <br />dispose of the materials. The customer is given a brochure (Exhibit 7) which describes <br />prohibited materials and gives sources of information for disposal methods of the more <br />common prohibited material. Also, the customer is advised to contact the San Joaquin County <br />Department of Public Works, Solid Waste Division at <br /> (209) 468-3066, for further information on how to dispose of the materials, and the incident is <br />recorded in the Load Checker’s Log retained by the load checker. <br /> <br /> If the hazardous materials are not containerized such that the customer may transport them <br />from the site, or if the customer refuses to remove the material, the customer is informed that <br />the County will contract with a licensed hazardous waste hauler to perform cleanup, removal, <br />and ultimate disposal of the materials. The customer will be billed for the costs incurred. The <br />incident is logged in the Load Checker’s Log and the site’s Special Occurrence Log. The site’s <br />supervisory personnel follows the procedures listed in Section IV, “Procedures for Handling <br />Identified Hazardous Waste”, for performance of ultimate disposal.
