,r <br /> IV. <br /> dAdahk <br /> PROCEDURES OF HANDLING IDENTIFIED HAZARDOUS WASTE <br /> If hazardous or other prohibited wastes are found after being deposited at the site,transfer station <br /> personnel will move the unloading operations to a safe area and place traffic cones around the <br /> affected area. If the prohibited wastes are safely containerized for on-site moving,the site <br /> foreman directs transfer stations workers to move these materials to temporary storage. <br /> Materials will be move to an on-site temporary storage locker for disposal within 90 days. A <br /> "Safety Storage, Incorporated, Model 10", chemical storage locker has been installed at the site <br /> for this purpose. This storage locker is provided with secondary containment, explosion venting <br /> and may be moved with a forklift. Specifications for this storage locker are contained in <br /> Exhibit 5. Since the waste stored in the locker will be removed within 90 days,the locker is not <br /> required to be permitted as a hazardous waste storage facility. <br /> The County has contracted with a licensed hazardous waste hauler to collect hazardous waste <br /> and conduct hazardous waste cleanup activities at County disposal sites as required by the Public <br /> Works Department. <br /> If the wastes are a spill, or are not adequately containerized for on-site moving or storage,the <br /> San Joaquin Environmental Health Department is contacted immediately by telephone and given <br /> details of the incident. Upon being given a description of the materials and situation,the <br /> Environment Health Department gives directions to the foreman or proceeds to the site if <br /> necessary and provides direction for emergency removal of the waste in question. The foreman <br /> also notifies the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services concerning the incident. The <br /> foreman then arranges for immediate removal and ultimate disposal by the County's licensed <br /> hazardous waste contractor as directed by the Environment Health Department. <br /> Experience with the load checking program to date indicates that virtually all attempts to dispose <br /> of hazardous waste at the site involve disposal of drums containing varying amounts of liquid. <br /> 0 Under the waste exclusion program, liquid containers greater than five galls in capacity which <br /> may be safely moved are moved away from the dumping area and stored until disposal is <br /> 12 <br />
