Iv. <br />HANDLING IDENTIFIED HAZARDOUS WASTE <br />If the prohibited wastes are safely containerized for on-site moving, the site foreman will direct <br />transfer stations workers to move these materials to an on-site temporary storage locker for <br />disposal within 90 days. A chemical storage locker has been installed at the site for this purpose. <br />This storage locker is provided with secondary containment, explosion venting and may be <br />moved with a forklift (Exhibit 5). <br />The storage locker is clearly marked as a hazardous waste storage area and will remain locked. <br />The locker will be cleared of accumulated prohibited waste discovered under the load checking <br />program when it becomes over 90 percent full or before any waste contained therein has been <br />stored for 90 days. Because the waste stored in the locker will be removed within 90 days or <br />less, the locker is not required to be permitted as a "hazardous waste storage facility". <br />>a <br />If the wastes are a spill, or axe not adequately containerized for on-site moving or storage, <br />transfer station personnel will move the unloading operations to a safe area and place traffic <br />cones around the affected area. The San Joaquin Environmental Health Department will be <br />contacted immediately by telephone and given details of the incident. Upon being given a <br />description of the materials and situation, the Environment Health Depart <br />ment will provide <br />direction for removal of the waste in question and proceeds to the site if necessary. The foreman <br />also notifies the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services concerning the incident if <br />appropriate. The foreman then arranges for immediate removal and disposal by the County's <br />licensed hazardous waste contractor as needed.. <br />Experience with the load checking program to date indicates that virtually all attempts to dispose <br />of hazardous waste at the site involve disposal of diems containing vaxying amounts of liquid. <br />Under the waste exclusion program, liquid containers greater than five gallons in capacity which <br />may be safely moved are removed from the dumping area and stored until disposed by the <br />�" Lovelace Transfer Station <br />HHW Exclusion Program <br />April 2010 <br />Solid Waste Division <br />Public Works Depadment <br />San Joaquin County <br />
