<br /> <br />Foothill Sanitary Landfill Page 38 of 53 San Joaquin County DPW - Solid Waste <br />Joint Technical Document Revised 6/09/2020 <br /> <br />In the event of equipment failure, equipment will be rented from a local heavy equipment rental <br />company as needed. Currently, heavy equipment is rented from Holt of California, United <br />Rentals, or Papè Machinery. <br /> <br />Preventative maintenance is conducted on the equipment in conformance with industry <br />standards. Pre-operation inspections are conducted by the operators. The pre-operation <br />inspections include checking fluid levels, cleaning filters, and minor repairs, if necessary. <br />Equipment repairs are conducted by the local equipment dealer for each specific type of <br />equipment (i.e. Al-Jon, Caterpillar, John Deere, etc). <br /> <br />Routine maintenance is conducted per manufacturer’s standards by the local dealer. In <br />addition, Brandon Tire and/or Wilson Tire are used to repair tires on heavy equipment. <br /> <br />6.6. Special Handling Procedures <br /> <br />Hazardous wastes are prohibited in the landfill. The Load Checking Program is described in the <br />Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program, dated January 1992 (Appendix G). <br /> <br />The load checking program assigns a refuse worker to check loads and visually monitor the <br />unloading area. This load checker examines the contents of the vehicles as they are unloading, <br />checking for unacceptable wastes. This person also records on a vehicle log, the vehicle <br />number of each vehicle and the name of the hauler, if the customer is a commercial hauler. <br /> <br />The discharge area is approximately 100 feet by 100 feet. Loads containing hazardous waste <br />are rejected. If the presence of hazardous waste is not discovered until after the load is <br />dropped, the procedures in the Hazardous Waste Exclusion Program are followed. <br /> <br />Special handling procedures are also employed by the landfill for specific types of waste, <br />including: <br /> <br />• Electronic wastes (universal wastes, electronic devices and computer screens) are <br />stored onsite prior to removal. At this time, most electronic waste is transported to
