Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page 1I1-22 Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project Operation,above. Ash piles are spread within the WMUs with a bulldozer or a front-end loader. Employees working within the ash disposal area consist of the dozer and water truck operators, who wear protective clothing and air purifying respirators. a Treated Wood Waste Disposal -- Disposal of treated wood waste requires pre-approval by Forward prior to acceptance, along with proper documentation(consisting of analytical results from a state-certified laboratory,laboratory chain-of-custody forms, and/or a waste characterization form,signed by the generator). Acceptable treated wood wastes must be disposed of in a Class II WMU. No salvaging or recovery is permitted. If treated wood wastes are observed in the recycling area, they are separated and subjected to the pre-acceptance procedure. Screening Program for Hazardous Wastes The hazardous waste screening program for the site is conducted in accordance with the Load Checking Program for the Forward Landfill, (Forward,Inc.,December 1992). The load-checking program is designed to monitor that unacceptable waste is not discharged to any treatment or disposal WMU at the Forward Landfill. No hazardous wastes,designated wastes,or wastes exceeding moisture limitations are allowed to be discharged to any Class III WMU. No hazardous waste is to be discharged to any Class II WMU,with the exception of wastes granted a variance, such as ACM and automobile shredder wastes. The load-checking program describes how waste loads are inspected for hazardous wastes,designated wastes,and other unacceptable wastes that cannot be discharged to any treatment or disposal WMU at the landfill. In general,the load-checking program consists of four basic components: waste characterization and certification forms,load inspection,training of on-site personnel,and signage. Waste Characterization The completed waste characterization form provides information regarding the waste generator and transporter,physical characteristics and chemical composition of the waste,generation, transportation, and type of waste stream to be disposed. The form must be completed by all waste generators and approved by Forward prior to waste disposal. At the scalehouse,the attendant checks the load and the appropriate paperwork and logs all of the appropriate information in the daily record. Load Inspection The next element of the load inspection program consists of load checking at the disposal area. The equipment operators check for disposal of hazardous or unacceptable waste at the working area of the landfill. All landfill personnel are experienced and trained in identifying potentially unacceptable wastes in the dumped loads. If unacceptable waste that is not hazardous is detected, the operator tells the customer to either remove the waste from the landfill himself or have the waste removed by an appropriate hauler to an appropriate facility. If hazardous waste is detected, the waste is hauled under manifest by a registered waste hauler to an approved facility. Hazardous wastes that are found after the hauler has left the site are moved to the hazardous waste storage locker for temporary (less than 90 days)storage prior to proper offsite disposal. Incompatible wastes are stored in separate storage containers at the same location to avoid commingling. The storage locker is a special chemical storage building that is kept locked. Wastes are removed from the locker before any waste has been stored for 90 days, or once the locker J
