At the working face, all drivers must give the Load Check Form to the Load Checker before they are allowed to unload. The Load Checker reviews the information on the Load Check Form to verify that the load is acceptable for disposal and to confirm the type of waste in the load. The Load Checker then directs the driver to the designated ACW disposal area where the driver "tips" the load. The Load Checker also collects the Load Check Forms for filing and reconciliation with scale house records for the day. Forward receives ACW only in double bags that remain intact and requires generators/transporters to confirm that they have adequately wetted ACW in the bags prior to sealing (in conformance with 14 CCR 17897.19 (b)(2)(A)). Bagged ACW is dumped only onto the active working face of the asbestos disposal area and not onto the flat compacted landfill area. Before tipping of the ACW begins, the equipment operators stationed in the asbestos disposal area inspect the documentation to ensure that the paperwork corresponds to the asbestos load. As the ACW is being unloaded, landfill employees observe the waste for irregularities or materials that are not consistent with the hauler's manifest. In the event of an irregularity, the Load Checker is authorized to stop the driver from unloading. In addition, working face personnel notify the landfill operations manager of any irregularities immediately. After unloading, the transporter must stop at the scalehouse to have the attendant sign the Hazardous Waste Manifest before leaving the site. Bulldozers and front-end loaders are used to push soil cover onto the working face to cover the ACW. The utmost care is used when applying cover soil, making sure to maintain the integrity of the bags containing ACW. At least 6 inches of soil covers the disposal cell within one hour of being disposed. Landfill equipment is not allowed to come in contact with ACW throughout the disposal process, thereby, reducing risk of contamination. All ACW is landfilled in an area separated from other waste types. To facilitate environmentally sound-and economic operations, Forward maintains the designated ACW disposal area near the active working area face. Thus, the designated ACW disposal area at Forward moves with the active working face about the site, and Forward uses a number of designated ACW disposal areas throughout the year. Each time that a new ACW disposal area is established, a licensed surveyor surveys the previous area and prepares a plat recording the Forward Landfill JTD 6-20 J:\Allied\Forward\JTD Amendment\March 2006 JTD-LEA Resp\JTD\ITD Sec 6 Rev.doc: 5/22/02;Rev.1:7/2002:Rev.2:4/2003;Rev 3:6/2003;Amendment No. 1:5/22/2006
