Also,the site foreman will report the incident to the Solid Waste Officer for investigation and follow up. C. Load checker or other refuse worker finds prohibited waste for which the responsible party is unknown: This situation may involve discovery,by transfer station employees,of prohibited waste for which the responsible party is not know. In this case,the waste is removed from the site and disposed of at a hazardous waste sit by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. If the waste is containerized, it is removed to an on-site hazardous waste storage locker. If it is not containerized,the area is marked to adequately offset fill operations until removal is performed; and procedures listed in Section N, "Procedures for Handling Identified Hazardous Waste", are followed for ultimate disposal. Additional Steps added to the Hazardous Waste Exclusion/Load Checking Program on September 16, 2004 include: • Loads earmarked for daily random load checking will include refuse collection vehicles that dump on the commercial side of the transfer building. Such vehicles include roll-off trucks, front-end loaders,rear loaders, and side loaders. • One load from the above pool of vehicles will be randomly selected daily by site supervisory staff for load checking. • The selected vehicle will be routed to the tipping floor and the load will be spread to a depth of about one foot using a front loader. Afterwards, site staff will inspect the load for hazardous waste. • If hazardous waste is found in the load and cannot be managed on-site,the responsible party will be contacted and requested to remove the hazardous waste within 24 hours. • Site staff will document the inspection of the attached form and completed forms will be retained on-site. 7
