r-] The load checking program is explained in detail to all site personnel who are involved with load inspections including the scalehouse attendant, load inspectors, transfer station workers, and equipment operators. These employees also attend the Cal OSHA Hazardous Waste and Emergency Response Course taught by the UC Berkeley Labor and Occupational Health Program through the School of Public Health. The course emphasizes familiarity with the types of containers and labels typically used for hazardous wastes and other hazardous materials. The course is repeated annually. All new employees are enrolled in the course at the earliest available class after their hire. Disposal Site Records and Reporting - Construction at the landfill is performed only in accordance with approved construction plans and specifications. Excavation limits are controlled by excavation plans and are monitored by surveying. The only large scale excavation activities at the landfill are for WW construction (using approved design drawings) and are documented in as -built drawings. As required by regulations for landfills accepting more than 100 cy of waste per day, Forward has prepared a Contingency Plan for special occurrences in the form of a Site Health and Safety Program. The plan describes procedures for reporting special occurrences including fires, earth slides, accidents, spills, and other extraordinary situations. The Contingency Plan will continue to remain in effect during the life of the landfill. A log of special occurrences is maintained at the landfill office trailer. All site records and reports are kept in the office trailers or the company office. Daily waste logs are kept at the landfill office trailer. The LEA and other regulatory and enforcement agencies may inspect the site records and reports any time during normal business hours. 6.4 Site Monitoring An additional element of effective site operations and environmental protection is routine monitoring of the systems and environment in and around the facility. Perimeter Gas Monitoring - The effectiveness of the LFGES will be monitored through a system of gas migration probes designed to fulfill regulatory standards for subsurface migration, as required by the applicable local, state, and federal regulations (i.e., Article 6 of Title 27 CCR). The probes will be monitored in accordance with approved schedules to determine if the LFG is migrating laterally through the soil away from the landfill. When compliance levels are exceeded in any probe, adjustments to the LFGES will be initiated and/ or additional extraction wells will be installed where migrating gas is detected, if required. Surface Water Monitoring - The only surface water bodies in the vicinity of the site are the North and South Branches of Little Johns Creek, which is tributary to the San Joaquin River. The landfill development plans described in this JTD anticipate that the course of the North Branch will be realigned to the north and west of the Austin Road Landfill. Once the North Branch is realigned, the planned expansion area footprint will be outside floodplain areas. -6- Ca1000-04"orward Composite Liner V3 .doe\09119101 Geologic Associates
