IV. PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING IDENTIFIED HAZARDOUS WASTE <br />If hazardous or other prohibited wastes are found after being <br />deposited at the site, landfill personnel will move the unloading <br />operations to a safe area and place traffic cones around the <br />affected area. If the prohibited wastes are safely containerized <br />for on-site moving, the site foreman directs landfill worxers to <br />move these materials to temporary storage. <br />Materials will be moved to an on-site temporary storage locker <br />for disposal within 90 days. A "Safety Storage, Incorporated," <br />chemical storage locker will be installed at the site for this <br />purpose. The storage locker will provide secondary containment, <br />explosion venting and will be movable with a forxlift. Typical <br />Specifications for this type of storage locker are contained in <br />Exhibit 5. Since the waste stored in the locker will be removed <br />within 90 days, the locker is not required to be permitted as a <br />hazardous waste storage facility. <br />The County has contracted with a hazardous waste hauler to <br />collect hazardous waste and conduct hazardous waste cleanup <br />activities at County disposal sites as required by the Public <br />Works Department. <br />If the wastes are not adequately containerized for on-site moving <br />or storage, the San Joaquin Local Health District is contacted <br />immediately by telephone and given details of the incident.
