Consolidated Forwa c. Landfill Page 8 g . All employees wilt be given appropriate training regarding the potential for exposure to hazardous materials. This training will include a 24-hour hazardous waste operations course and an annual 8-hour refresher course for personnel involved in the "load checking"program where the incoming loads are screened for hazardous materials. The landfill will not accept any special was-,z- t at may potentially contain hazardous levels of regulated substances. Dust control procedures specified in the Site Operations Plan (section 7.7.5 of the JTD) will use the application of fine water spray at a rr:i-i:,,um of twice daily on the active soil-covered r work areas,soil excavation areas, and soil stockpile areas where fugitive dust may exist. Existing fire protection facilities will be main=-'ned to the satisfaction of the Lathrop - Manteca Fire Protection District. Dust exposure of site worker will be monitored periodically, at the discretion of the landfill manager,to evaluate if any additional respira:o: protection or dust suppression (watering) mitigation is needed. Additional engineering controls will be imple~ented by the site operator, if needed based on the evaluation of the site health and safety or ope:-ations manager, to control dust emissions. Such controls might include «•ind-screens near ,::loading areas or the use of dust suppressants. If the above controls cannot reduce employee dts:exposure below acceptable levels as determined by Forward(considering factors including irritation and annoyance to employees),site personnel at risk will be supplied.with gloves,coveralls,eye protections and respirators,with associated training in their use. Wastes must not Ieave the landfill on workers' clothing. Workers who have had direct contact with waste,or who have performed operations that may involve direct contact with wastes(such as equipment maintenance or asbestos handling),will wear disposable clothing or change clothing before leaving the site. The potentially contaminated clothing will be cleaned or disposed as appropriate. To avoid cross-contamination from contaminated to non-contaminated sites,the applicant will provide a portable decontamination facility with self-contained water supply for personnel and equipment. For asbestos,a strict Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM)handling program%ill be developed,and will include the following: (a) Bagged ACM will be dumped only onto the working face of the asbestos disposal area and not onto the flat compacted landfill surface. Bulldozers will then push soil cover onto the working face to cover the ACM bags and will not contact the bags. (b) For Forward site employees engaged in handling asbestos materials, Forward will implement one of the following:
