3-3 <br />Forward Landfill SWT Engineering <br /> Load Checking Program <br />z:\projects\allied waste\forward\five year permit rvw 2013\jtd-5 yr pr 2013\appendices\app s - load check program (swt, <br />2013)\hold\sec3_final.doc <br />load checker notifies the Operations Manager if any discrepancies are observed. The load <br />checker also collects the load check forms/documentation for filing and reconciliation with <br />scale house records for the day. The next element of load inspection consists of load <br />checking at the disposal area. The floor personnel check for disposal of hazardous or <br />unacceptable waste at the working area of the landfill. All landfill personnel are experienced <br />and trained in identifying potentially unacceptable wastes within loads. If unacceptable <br />waste that is not hazardous is detected, the operator tells the customer to either remove the <br />waste from the landfill or have the waste removed by an appropriate hauler to an approved <br />facility. If hazardous waste is detected, the waste is hauled by a registered waste hauler, <br />under manifest, to an approved facility. <br />Hazardous wastes that are found after the hauler has left the site are moved to the <br />hazardous waste storage locker for temporary (less than 90 days) storage prior to proper off- <br />site disposal. The storage locker is a special chemical storage building that is kept locked. <br />Wastes are removed from the locker before any waste has been stored for 90 days, or once <br />the locker reaches 90 percent of its capacity, which ever happens first. Containers of <br />hazardous waste are labeled with the customer's name and the date and time of delivery. <br />Unacceptable wastes that are discovered after the hauler has left are moved away from the <br />working area, contained or covered, and marked with the waste and generator information, <br />if known. If the customer that hauled the hazardous or unacceptable waste is known, the <br />landfill notifies them that the waste must be removed by an appropriate hauler and <br />disposed of at an appropriately licensed site. If the customer refuses, the landfill contracts <br />with a hazardous waste hauler to remove and dispose of the waste properly and bills the <br />customer for the costs. <br />If hazardous materials are discovered that are not containerized such that reloading of the <br />waste onto the vehicle is not possible, the area is marked off to limit access, and all <br />employees evacuate the spill area. The San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services <br />and other appropriate agencies are notified of the incident. The appropriate emergency <br />agency will oversee the containment of the spill by site personnel or an appropriately <br />licensed private contractor. A hazardous materials contractor will handle the c leanup, <br />manifesting, and delivery of the spilled materials to an approved facility. <br />All hazardous waste disposal incidents are recorded on the landfill load checking sheet and <br />are reported to the DTSC, RWQCB, LEA, and the California Emergency Management Agency <br />Warning Center. <br />The load checking program is explained in detail to all site personnel who are involved with <br />load inspections including the scalehouse attendant, load inspectors, transfer station <br />workers, and equipment operators. These employees also attend the Cal OSHA Hazardous <br />Waste and Emergency Response Course taught by the UC Berkeley Labor and Occupational
