Procedures The key element in the load checking program involves assigning facility staff to act as a load checkers or "spotters" responsible for visually monitoring both the commercial and the residential unloading area. Each spotter will have the ability to contact drivers of the scrapers and the compactor to address apparent prohibited waste if it is noticed. Spotters will also carry a copy of the Vehicle Log (Exhibit 1) to record the vehicle number of each vehicle and the hauler name, assuming the customer is a commercial hauler. In the commercial haul area, a "spotter" stands next to the vehicles being unloaded and examines the contents of vehicles as the waste drops to the tipping floor. A minimum of two spotters will be located on the tipping floor during commercial unloading. In the residential ("self haul') area, a spotter also visually examines waste as it is unloaded. Normally, more than one load checkers will be assigned to checking residential loads on the self-haul side of the tipping floor. The spotters will be standing on the floor of the vehicle unloading area. The load checking program addresses several situations in which prohibited waste is discovered after dumping at the facility, for which the County is responsible for disposal (Exhibit 2). The actions taken upon the discovery of prohibited waste are as follows: A.
