The load checking program is designed to find prohibited waste before it is disposed and have <br /> the customer remove such waste from the site for proper disposal. Once prohibited wastes have <br /> been deposited at the site, the program will attempt to detect prohibited wastes in containers <br /> greater than five gallons in capacity or spills and provide for cleanup and ultimate disposal of <br /> these materials. <br /> The steps involved in the load checking program are summarized in the flow chart shown as <br /> Exhibit 2. These steps include both situations for which the prohibited waste is removed form <br /> the site when requested by the load checker and situations for which the County must perform <br /> ultimate disposal. The actions taken upon the discovery of prohibited waste are as follows: <br /> A. Load checker finds prohibited materials before customer leaves site: <br /> Typically,the load checker will observe prohibited waste being dumped from a vehicle <br /> and will instruct the customer that such waste is considered hazardous at the transfer <br /> station. The customer is then told that he must remove the materials from the site and <br /> dispose of them at a site licensed to accept such waste or have a licensed hazardous waste <br /> hauler dispose of the materials. The customer is given a brochure(Exhibit 7)which <br /> describes prohibited materials and gives sources of information for disposal methods of <br /> the more common prohibited material. Also,the customer is advised to contact the <br /> San Joaquin County Environment Health Department at 468-3420 for further information <br /> on how to dispose of the materials, and the incident is recorded in the vehicle log kept by <br /> the load checker. <br /> If the hazardous materials are not containerized such that the customer may transport <br /> them from the site, or if the customer refuses to remove the material, the customer is <br /> informed that the County will contract with a licensed hazardous waste hauler to perform <br /> cleanup,removal, and ultimate disposal of the materials. The customer will be billed for <br /> the costs incurred. The incident is logged in the vehicle log and site incident log and the <br /> site foreman follows the procedures listed in Section N, "Procedures for Handling <br /> Identified Hazardous Waste", for performance of ultimate disposal. <br /> B. Load Checker finds prohibited materials attributed to a customer who has left the site: <br /> 5 <br />
