1 <br /> 16 PHASE II Visual Screening of tipping floor <br /> The second phase of screening wastes shall be conducted by the station <br /> personnel while sorting the waste. This is done not only to keep hazardous <br /> waste out of the landfill but for their own safety. <br /> The station personnel shall be trained to visually recognize hazardous wastes. <br /> They shall also be trained in the proper handling procedures for hazardous <br /> wastes. <br /> If hazardous materials are detected, the area shall be isolated immediately with <br /> traffic cones or similar devices. The San Joaquin County Department of <br /> Environmental Health, (LEA), (209) 468-3400 shall be notified immediately. If <br /> the LEA determines it to be necessary the Department of Health Services shall <br /> be notified. <br /> The waste shall remain isolated and undisturbed until the LEA decides on a <br /> proper disposal method that is in accordance with State hazardous waste <br /> handling procedures. <br /> If the LEA determines that it is safe, an effort should be made to look for a <br /> name, address or phone number on or around the hazardous waste so that the <br /> disposer of the hazardous materials can be contacted, educated in proper <br /> disposal methods of hazardous wastes and billed for the removal of the wastes. <br /> The operator that discovers the wastes shall complete a full report that <br /> describes the type and quantity of hazardous waste found, the time and <br /> circumstances of the hazardous waste discovery,the isolation measures taken, <br /> any information that may identify the origin of the wastes and any other <br /> pertinent information. This report shall be completed when the hazardous <br /> waste is secured in a locked container and submitted by the facility supervisor <br /> to the LEA within 24 hours. <br /> No hazardous waste will be stored at the facility for extended periods. The <br /> waste will be removed within 144 hours by a licensed hauler and disposed of <br /> in a proper location as determined by the LEA. <br /> 4 <br />
