for disposal within 90 days. If the wastes are a spill, or are not adequately <br />containerized for on-site moving or storage, then site personnel will move <br />the unloading operations to a safe area and place traffic cones around the <br />affected area. EHD will be contacted immediately by telephone and given <br />details of the incident. Upon being given a description of the materials and <br />situation, the EHD will provide direction for removal of the waste in question <br />and proceed to the site if necessary. The site foreman also notifies the San <br />Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services concerning the incident if <br />appropriate. The site foreman will then arrange for immediate removal and <br />disposal by the County's licensed hazardous waste contractor as needed. <br />Experience with the load checking program to date indicates that virtually all <br />attempts to dispose of hazardous waste at the site involve disposal of drums <br />containing varying amounts of liquid. Liquid containers greater than five <br />gallons in capacity which may be safely moved are removed from the <br />dumping area and stored in a safe location or the storage locker until <br />disposed by the responsible party or the County. Such containers will be <br />appropriately tagged when discovered with information as to approximate <br />volume of contents, probable contents if known, date of discovery and <br />responsible party if known. The barrel is then placed in the storage locker <br />until removed from the site by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. <br />The County has a contract with a licensed hazardous waste hauler for clean <br />up and removal and disposal of discovered hazardous waste. Under this <br />agreement, the contractor loads the prohibited waste, performs any <br />necessary cleanup, prepares the manifest and transports the prohibited <br />waste to a hazardous waste site for disposal. The site foreman signs the <br />manifest as the generator and forwards required copies to EHD. <br />Foothill Sanitary Landfill San Joaquin County <br />HWEP July 2010 8 Public Works Department <br />Solid Waste Division <br />
