The course emphasizes familiarity with <br />the types of containers and labels typically used for hazardous wastes and other hazardous <br />materials. The course is repeated annually, and all new employees are enrolled in the <br />course at the earliest available class after their hire. In addition, landfill personnel are <br />trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first-aid, and respirator use. Highly visible signs, <br />stating that no hazardous wastes are accepted, are located at the site entrance and office <br />trailer. <br />Results of the hazardous waste load checking program, including the quantities and types of <br />hazardous wastes or other unpermitted wastes found in the waste stream and disposition of <br />these wastes are reported to the LEA on a quarterly basis as specified in the current SWFP. <br />Any incident related to hazardous or unpermitted wastes are included in the site’s log of <br />special/unusual occurrences, also in accordance with the SWFP. <br />3.4 UNIVERSAL WASTE PROCEDURE S <br />As indicated in Section 1.1, universal wastes are prohibited for disposal at Forward Landfill. <br />Universal waste includes the following: <br /> Batteries (rechargeable, alkaline, carbon-zinc, button-type, small sealed lead-acid); <br /> Mercury-containing Lamps (fluorescent tubes and bulbs, high-intensity discharge, <br />metal halide, sodium and neon); <br /> Mercury Thermostats and Thermometers; <br /> Electronic Devices (CRT and flat-panel televisions and computer monitors, laptop <br />computers, computers (CPUs), printers, VCRs, cell phones, telephones, radios, <br />microwave ovens and other devices containing circuit boards); <br /> Electrical Switches and Relays containing mercury (some chest freezers, electric <br />space heaters, clothes irons, silent light switches, pre-1972 washing machines); <br /> Pilot Light Sensors with mercury containing switches (some gas appliances – stoves, <br />ovens, clothes dryers, water heaters, furnaces, space heaters); <br /> Mercury Gauges (barometers, manometers, blood pressure, vacuum gauges); <br /> Mercury Added Novelties (singing greeting cards, athletic shoes with flashing lights in <br />sole if made prior to 1997, mercury maze games); and <br /> Non-Empty Aerosol Cans that contain hazardous materials. <br />As discussed in Section 3.2, employees who inspect loads are trained to identify prohibited <br />or suspicious wastes, such as universal waste. If universal waste is detected in a load, the <br />operator tells the customer to either remove the waste from the landfill or have the waste <br />removed by an approved hauler. The appropriate form will be completed to document the <br />operator’s rejection of the universal waste. <br />If universal waste is found at the active disposal area after the hauler has left the landfill, <br />the universal waste is picked-up using a loader and moved to one of two universal waste
