0 The Household Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program includes: <br />• Load Check Program <br />• Public notification <br />• Annual training of all landfill employees <br />• Handling and storage of hazardous waste items <br />• Description of hazardous waste storage facilities and equipment <br />• Records and reporting requirements <br />• Procedures for recovering costs associated with illegal disposal of hazardous waste <br />• Other procedures as may be needed, as approved by the LEA <br />The load check program assigns a refuse worker to check loads and visually monitor the <br />unloading area. This worker examines the contents of the vehicles as they are unloading, <br />checking for prohibited wastes. <br />Random load checks are performed daily at both the landfill active face and the MRF. At each <br />location, a vehicle is selected at random, and County staff closely inspects the material as it is <br />removed from the customer's vehicle. The results of these random checks are recorded, and the <br />record stored at the site. <br />If the hazardous waste material discovered in a customer's load, then that material is <br />sequestered from the waste stream in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program <br />(Appendix G). Small quantities of hazardous waste are placed in the waste storage locker in the <br />Recycling Center for later disposal at a hazardous waste treatment facility. Large quantities are <br />staged on site until the customer arranges for removal at the customer's expense by a contractor <br />licensed to handle hazardous waste. If the customer cannot arrange for the removal of the <br />hazardous waste, then County staff contacts a County vendor to remove and dispose of the <br />waste. <br />If non -hazardous but prohibited materials are discovered, then the customer is asked to retain <br />those materials within their vehicles. Those customers are given information and directions to a <br />waste facility licensed to receive such waste. <br />North County RC&SL Page 44 of 68 Public Works/Solid Waste <br />Joint Technical Document County of San Joaquin — October 10, 2014 <br />
