Attachment E-1 Contamination Measurement Methodology: Single Loads <br />REV: 03-16-18 MI <br />ATTY/AGR/2018.054/RECOLOGY OF SAN MATEO ATTACHMENT E <br />Page 3 of 14 <br />• Sampling and sorting area designation <br />• Sample selection <br />• Sample sorting <br />• Sample disposal <br />• Data management <br />Contractor or its representative shall have the right to be present at, observe, and photograph <br />and video all aspects of the sampling process, including without limitation each of the steps listed <br />above or described below. <br />Contractor shall not be responsible for any of the costs incurred in implementing the sampling <br />process and procedures described in this Attachment E-1, other than costs incurred by Contractor <br />in exercising its observation rights set forth in the preceding paragraph. <br />These steps are described in more detail following the definitions of roles. Each step is the <br />responsibility of a specific person or group of people as follows: <br />• sampling crew manager—responsible for selecting samples, working with Operator and <br />the sampling crew, quality control, and compliance with Facility regulations. <br />• sampling crew—responsible for sorting samples. <br />• facility manager—responsible for coordinating with the sampling crew manager. <br />• tipping floor staff—responsible for identifying loads potentially contaminated beyond the <br />acceptable threshold, creating a designated sampling and sorting area, and ensuring <br />segregation of selected loads in that area. <br />• loader operator(s)—responsible for segregating the selected load from other loads in the <br />designated sampling and sorting area. <br />1. Safety training and staff coordination <br />When the sampling crew manager and the sampling crew arrive at the Designated Transfer and <br />Processing Facility they will participate in any required safety training and put on all required <br />personal protective equipment (see the equipment list shown in Appendix 3). The sampling crew <br />manager will also walk through the process of extracting samples from the designated load with <br />both the loader operator(s) and the tipping floor staff. <br />2. Sampling and sorting area designation <br />With the input of the tipping floor staff and the loader operator(s), the sampling crew manager and <br />sampling crew will set up in the designated sampling and sorting area near the tipping floor. The <br />sorting area should be in a location near the load to be sampled and from which the loader can <br />safely remove samples after sorting. <br />SAMPLE SELECTION <br />Five (5) cells will be randomly selected for sampling using a random number generator for all <br />material streams except commercial organics. Fifteen (15) cells will be selected for the <br />commercial organics material stream. <br />6.2.B. - Page 164
