IV. PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING IDENTIFIED HAZARDOUS WASTE <br /> If hazardous or other prohibited wastes are found after being <br /> deposited at the site, transfer station personnel will move the <br /> unloading operations to a safe area and place traffic cones <br /> around the affected area. If the prohibited wastes are safely <br /> containerized for on-site moving, the site foreman directs <br /> transfer station workers to move these materials to temporary <br /> storage. <br /> Materials will be moved to an on-site temporary storage locker <br /> for disposal within 90 days. A "Safety Storage, Incorporated, <br /> Model 1011 , chemical storage locker has been installed at the site <br /> for this purpose. This storage locker is provided with secondary <br /> containment, explosion venting and may be moved with a forklift. <br /> Specifications for this 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 licensed hazardous waste hauler <br /> to 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 a spill, or are not adequately containerized <br /> for on-site moving or storage, the San Joaquin Local Health <br /> District is contacted immediately by telephone and given details <br /> -14- <br />
