<br />Contractors, AUTHORITY staff and/or third parties will meet all requirements of and <br />receive formal training in the safety requirements of the Facility. <br /> <br />Arrival at Facility for regularly scheduled testing <br /> <br />The sampling crew and sampling crew manager will arrive at the Designated Transfer <br />and Processing Facility prior to the agreed upon start time to participate in any required <br />safety training and to put on all required personal protective equipment. Before the start <br />time, the sampling crew manager will also cover logistics with the MRF manager, as well <br />as any needs and expectations for the study period (regardless of the amount of <br />advance communication conducted.) <br /> <br />Scale house coordination <br />The sampling crew manager will speak with the scale house staff to explain the basic <br />objectives of the study and provide the scale house staff with a copy of the vehicle <br />selection sheet, as well as sampling placards to identify selected loads (see Appendix 2 <br />for examples of field forms.) The sampling crew manager will ensure the scale house <br />staff understands the needs of the study throughout the day, allowing the scale house <br />staff to plan for transitions such as scheduled breaks and shift changes. Additionally, the <br />sampling crew manager will provide the scale house staff with a means of contacting the <br />sampling crew manager throughout the day. <br /> <br />The scale house staff is responsible for selecting vehicles using the vehicle selection <br />sheet, provided by the sampling crew manager. The scale house staff will also distribute <br />sampling placards to the Contractor. <br /> <br />Tipping floor coordination <br />With the input of the MRF manager and the loader operator(s), the sampling crew <br />manager will determine locations for two (2) designated sampling/sorting areas on or <br />near the tipping floors. There will be one designated sampling/sorting area on the <br />Organic Materials tipping floor and one area on the recyclables tipping floor. These <br />sampling/sorting areas will be in a location in which the sampling crew can identify <br />designated loads entering the tipping area, the loader op era tor(s) can visually <br />communicate with the sampling crew, and the loader operator(s) can safely remove <br />samples after sorting. <br /> <br />Once the sampling crew manager has determined the locations, the sampling crew will <br />set up the designated sampling/sorting areas. The sampling crew manager will then walk <br />through the process of extracting samples from selected loads with both the loader <br />operator(s) and the tipping house staff. <br /> <br />Load selection <br />When a target Collection vehicle arrives at the Designated Transfer and Processing <br />Facility, the scale house staffwill confirm the material stream and origin of the load (e.g., <br />Single-Family Targeted Recyclable Materials from the north geographic area). The scale <br />house staff will copy the sample cell number from the Collection vehicle selection form <br />onto the appropriate sample placard and provide the placard to the driver. A cell number <br />represents the location within a load from which a sample will be extracted and is <br />defined by the map in Figure 1. Additionally, the scale house staff will record the load's <br />net weight on the vehicle selection sheet. <br /> <br />Facility Agreement, Attachment 2-H <br />Contamination Measurement Methodology <br />Page 5 of 19 <br />
