Landfill Expansion <br /> appropriate WMUs, following the general landfill operation procedures discussed in Landfill <br /> Operation,above. Ash piles are spread within the WMUs with a bulldozer or a front-end loader. {^� <br /> Employees working within the ash disposal area consist of the dozer and water truck operators, }� <br /> who wear protective clothing and air purifying respirators. <br /> Treated Wood Waste Disposal <br /> Disposal of treated wood waste requires pre-approval by Forward,Inc.prior to acceptance,along <br /> with proper documentation(consisting of analytical results from a state-certified laboratory, <br /> laboratory chain-of-custody forms, and/or a waste characterization form, signed by the generator). <br /> Acceptable treated wood wastes must be disposed of in a Class 11 WMU. No salvaging or recovery <br /> is permitted. If treated wood wastes are observed in the recycling area,they are separated and <br /> .subjected to the pre-acceptance procedure. <br /> Screening Program for Hazardous Wastes <br /> The existing hazardous waste screening ram is described below. Screening of high moisture <br /> a g prog <br /> content wastes for the proposed solidification of high moisture content wastes is described in F. <br /> Proposed Project Modifications,Solidification of High Moisture Content Wastes,below. <br /> The hazardous waste screening program for the site is conducted in accordance with the Load <br /> Checking Program for the Forward Landfill, (Forward,Inc.,December 1992). The load checking <br /> program is designed to monitor that unacceptable waste is not discharged to any treatment or <br /> disposal WMU at the Forward Landfill. No hazardous wastes, designated wastes,or wastes <br /> exceeding moisture limitations are allowed to be discharged to any Class III WMU. No hazardous <br /> waste is to be discharged to any Class II WMU,with the exception of wastes granted a variance, <br /> such as ACM and automobile shredder wastes. The load checking program describes how waste <br /> loads are inspected for hazardous wastes, designated wastes,and other unacceptable wastes that <br /> cannot be discharged to any treatment or disposal WMU at the landfill. <br /> In general,the load checking program consists of four basic components: waste characterization <br /> and certification forms,load inspection,training of on-site personnel, and signage. <br /> The completed waste characterization form provides information regarding the waste generator <br /> and transporter, physical characteristics and chemical composition of the waste, generation, <br /> transportation,and type of waste stream to be disposed. The form must be completed by all waste <br /> generators and approved by Forward prior to waste disposal. At the scalehouse,the attendant <br /> checks the load and the appropriate paperwork and logs all of the appropriate information in the <br /> daily record. <br /> The next load inspection consists of load checking at the disposal area. The equipment operators <br /> check for disposal of hazardous or unacceptable waste at the working area of the landfill. All <br /> landfill personnel are experienced and trained in identifying potentially unacceptable wastes in the <br /> dumped loads. If hazardous or unacceptable waste is detected the"operator tells the customer t <br /> either re`m_ove the waste.from_the landfill himself or have the waste removed by a hazardous waste <br /> Hauler. � <br /> Hazardous wastes that are found after the hauler has left the site are moved to the hazardous <br /> waste storage locker for temporary(less than 90 days)storage prior to proper offsite disposal. The <br /> storage locker is a special chemical storage building that is kept locked. Wastes are removed from <br /> the locker before any waste has been stored for 90 days,or once the locker reaches 90 percent of its <br />
