I. INTRODUCTION <br /> The hazardous waste exclusion program described herein was developed for the Lovelace <br /> Transfer Station, in San Joaquin County, California. This facility operates under Solid Waste <br /> Facilities Permit#39-AA-0008, which is issued by the California Department of Resources, <br /> Recycling and Recovery, and is administered by the San Joaquin County Health Department as <br /> Local Enforcement Agency. The site is prohibited from accepting hazardous waste or liquids <br /> under this Permit. <br /> This program is designed to prevent disposal of significant amounts of prohibited waste at the <br /> site and to provide for proper removal and disposal of such waste if detected. It includes a load <br /> checking program, additional exclusion procedures, and procedures for handling Identified <br /> Hazardous Waste. <br /> II. LOAD CHECKING PROGRAM <br /> A. General <br /> The key element of the hazardous waste exclusion program is the ongoing load checking <br /> program. The load checking program is designed to find prohibited waste before it is received <br /> at the facility, and have the customer remove such waste from the site for proper disposal at a <br /> properly licensed facility. The program also describes actions in case prohibited wastes are <br /> discovered in the waste stream. <br /> Wastes which are not accepted at the Lovelace Transfer Station include: <br /> • Chemicals or chemical sludge which are toxic, corrosive, an irritant, or a strong sensitizer <br /> • Drugs <br /> • Infectious wastes <br /> • Radioactive wastes <br /> • Flammables or explosives <br /> • Free liquids or liquid residues in containers larger than five gallons <br /> • Fuel wastes <br /> • Pesticides or insecticides (properly neutralized and rinsed containers are allowed) <br /> • Bag house or air scrubber wastes <br /> LL Hazardous Waste Ex Program <br /> February 2020 1 San Joaquin County <br /> PWD-Solid Waste <br />
