II. <br /> • LOAD CHECKING PROGRAM <br /> The key element of the hazardous waste exclusion program is the load checking program which <br /> is ongoing rather than periodic. This program has been initiated at the site and involves <br /> screening for the unacceptable wastes listed below. <br /> Wastes which are not accepted at the Lovelace Materials Recovery Facility and Transfer Station <br /> are the following common classifications: <br /> • Chemicals or chemical sludge which are toxic,corrosive, an irritant, or a strong <br /> sensitizer <br /> • Drugs <br /> • Infectious wastes <br /> • Radioactive wastes <br /> • Flammables or explosives <br /> • Free liquids or liquid residues in containers in which the containers are greater than <br /> five gallons in volume <br /> • Oil, batteries, or fuel wastes <br /> • Pesticides or insecticides (properly neutralized and rinsed containers are allowed) <br /> • Bag house or air scrubber wastes <br /> • Asbestos wastes <br /> • Tank cleaning sludge or sediments <br /> • Contaminated soil or sand <br /> The key element in the load checking program involves assigning a refuse worker to act as a load <br /> checker and visually monitor the unloading area. This load checker examines the contents of <br /> vehicles as they are unloaded, checking for unacceptable wastes. This person also records on a <br /> vehicle log(Exhibit 1),the vehicle number of each vehicle and the name of the hauler, if the <br /> customer is a commercial hauler. <br /> • <br /> 4 <br />
