If the LEA determines that it is safe, an effort should be made to look for a name, address or phone number on or around the hazardous waste so that the disposer of the hazardous materials can be contacted, educated in proper disposal methods of hazardous wastes and billed for the removal of the wastes. The operator that discovers the wastes shall complete a full report that describes the type and quantity of hazardous waste found, the time and circumstances of the hazardous waste discovery, the isolation measures taken, any information that may identify the origin of the wastes and any other pertinent information. This report shall be completed when the hazardous waste is secured and submitted by the site supervisor to the LEA within 24 hours. The third phase of the hazardous waste screening program is a random load checking program. The load checking shall be conducted by an inspector trained in hazardous waste detection and handling. The selected loads shall be deposited in an isolated area. The hauler's name address and license plate number and the origin of the load shall be logged in the inspection report. The waste shall be windrowed to a height no greater than four feet and inspected using hand tools to sort through the waste thoroughly. It is mandatory that proper protection equipment be worn by the inspector and that the inspector is well educated in emergency procedures for exposure to hazardous wastes. To ensure that all generators are screened for hazardous waste, random loads shall be chosen from each of the major contract haulers and from the smaller haulers. Load checking shall be conducted on a two day per month basis. Different haulers and service areas will be inspected until all haulers and areas have been checked. If hazardous wastes are detected by the inspector the same procedures that are described in phase two for isolating the waste and notifying and reporting to the LEA should be followed. No hazardous waste will be stored at the site for extended periods. The waste will be removed within 72 hours by a licensed hauler and disposed of in a proper location as determined by the LEA.
