Consolidated Forward. _. Landfill Page 8 is All employees will be given appropriate training regarding the poze:nial for exposure to hazardous materials. This training will include a 24-hour hazardous waste operations course and an annual 8 -hour refresher course for -personnel involved in the load checking" program where the incoming loads are screened for hazardous materials. The landfill will not accept any special waste that may potentiall1v contain hazardous Ievels of regulated substances. Dust control procedures specified in the Site Operations Plan (section 7.7.5 of the JTD) will use the application of fine water spray at a minimum of twice dad`- on the active soil -covered work areas, soil excavation areas, and soil stockpile areas where F?l,�ve dust may exist. Existing fire protection facilities will be maintained to the satisfacrioa of the Lathrop - Manteca Fire Protection District. Dust exposure of site workers will be monitored periodically, at t�i_- discretion of the Iandfill manager, to evaluate if any additional respiratory protection or dt_.;� ;sppression (watering) mitigation is needed. Additional engineering controls will be implemented by the site ooc—___tor, if needed based on the evaluation of the site health and safety or operations manager, to control dust emissions. Such controls might include wind -screens near unloading areas or use of dust suppressants. If the above controls cannot reduce employee dust exposure below- acceptable levels as determined by Forward (considering factors including irritation and annoyance to employees), site personnel at risk will be supplied "ith gloves, cosIeralls, eye protections and respirators, with associated training in their use. Wastes must not leave the landfill on workers' clothing. Workers who have had direct contact with waste, or who have performed operations that may insolve direct contact with wastes (such as equipment maintenance or asbestos handling), will agar disposable clothing or change clothing before leaving the site. The potentially con clothing will be cleaned or disposed as appropriate. To avoid cross -contamination from contaminated to non-contaniffi2ted sites, the applicant will provide a portable decontamination facility with self-contah3cd water supply for personnel and equipment. For asbestos, a strict Asbestos -Containing Nfaterials (ACM) hang program will be developed, and will include the following; (a) Bagged ACM will be dumped only onto the working face cF the asbestos disposal area and not onto the flat compacted landfill su:rfa e. Bulldozers will then push soil cover onto the working face to cover the ACNi bags and will not contact the bags. (b) For Forward site employees engaged in handling asbestos materials, Forward will implement one of the following;
