3.3.2 Routine Load Checks <br /> LTS staff visually inspects commercial and self-haul customers and randomly checks commercial <br /> loads to prevent the unloading of any unacceptable materials. <br /> If unacceptable materials are detected, site staff will notify the customer that the load contains <br /> unacceptable materials, and that this material may not be unloaded. The customer is given <br /> directions to a facility that can accept the materials in question. <br /> Random Load Checks are performed at least once a day. This procedure is an in-depth search of <br /> the contents of randomly selected commercial haul vehicles to prevent the unloading of any <br /> unacceptable materials including hazardous waste. This practice encourages each commercial <br /> customer to self-monitor their own waste stream and customers. <br /> If a commercial hauler is found to have unacceptable materials, the information on the Load <br /> Checker's Log is recorded. The Load Checker's Log is signed by both the customer and the load <br /> checking inspector. This information can be used to notify the hauler and the Department of <br /> Environmental Health if the load is illegally dumped. <br /> In addition, facility operators keep a Daily Log to note any materials that escaped identification <br /> during the routine load check. These materials are recorded and removed from the tipping floor <br /> (Appendix E). <br /> If unacceptable material is discovered after the customer has left the premises, staff places this <br /> material in a double-containment storage locker for temporary storage (Figure 4). These items <br /> are then transported off-site by a licensed hazardous waste contractor for proper management. <br /> The locker is clearly marked. <br /> 3.3.3 Continuing Checks <br /> Equipment operators are trained to be watchful for gas cylinders, propane tanks, televisions, <br /> computer monitors and other items that may pose a hazard or are not accepted at the disposal <br /> facility. Such items will be removed from the waste and deposited in the appropriate area in the <br /> LTS. <br /> Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division <br /> Transfer Processing Report 30 County of San Joaquin <br /> April 16,2026 <br />
