3-7 The unloading area will have appropriate signs and will be staffed by Forward personnel, who will direct loads to the appropriate areas. The unloading areas are shown in Figure 26+. The load inspection process begins at the RRF. All loads are visually inspected for prohibited waste in the material sorting area. , except for specia l handling wastes suoh as wood wastes and wastes not need i ng any preprocessing, are brought to the RRF and separated . The loads are spread out i n the 12,000 square foot waste sorting bui lding and the entire load is chec l ~ed fo r reco '/erable materials, compostable materials , landfill materials , and unacceptab le waste. If hazardous or prohibited wastes are detected, they must be removed by the customer/hauler at their own expense by a licensed hazardous waste hauler and disposed of at a licensed hazardous waste disposal site. If the customer that hauled the hazardous or prohibited waste is not known, the area is marked off to limit access and site personnel are restricted from that area. The San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services and other appropriate agencies are notified of the incident. The appropriate emergency service agency will handle the containment of the hazardous waste. A hazardous materials contractor will handle the cleanup, manifesting, and transportation to an approved facility. All hazardous waste disposal incidents are documented and are reported to the DTSC, RWQCB, LEA, and the State Office of Emergency Services. Documentation is maintained on-site. If necessary, photographs will beare taken. A Contingency Plan was prepared to further address handling, storage, and removal procedures foref hazardous/prohibited waste inadvertentl y accepted at-ffif the facility. The Contingency Plan is available upon request. The RRF has a wood recyc ling p rogram , where they will acaept loads of high grade 'Nood (Iilw pallets). "All wood " loads are unloaded in the , .. 'ood gr i nding area and is aonfined to an area approximate ly 100 feet (wide) by 150 feet (long) and 12 feet (high ), as speaified by the loca l f i re department. This area is also a minimum 100 feet from the RRF building. The volume of traffic at the RRF, including the Compost Facility, cannot exceed 620 vehicles per day, which includes all traffic associated with the landfill operation. Based on maximum RRF and compost operation ~, the traffic would increase but under no circumstances will the operator allow would the maximum traffic volume to exceed 620 vehicles per day. Material unloading areas werehave been designed so that the northwestern prevailing winds direct any windblown particles into the material stockpile or perimeter site fencing, rather than away from it. Compost Facility staff 'Nill police the site regularly inspect and remove any windblown litter. 3.4.2 Material Preparation If opOfations Sl:JeR as shro#ing or ba/iRg {}fO to be condi:Jeted, desenbe policies and procedures for ensuriRg that #ICj' are conducted in a controlled manner and in conroFfRanGe with conddions established bj' the L£'4 , Iocal/and lJse A lJthor"'tj' and other appire val agone/os.
