ATTACHMENT 7 HAZARDOUS WASTE EXCLUSION PLAN The facility will not intentionally accept or store hazardous wastes, including tires, liquid wastes, sewage sludge, slurries, septic tank pumpings, untreated medical wastes, dead animals, radioactive or special wastes, batteries, oil, paint, compressed gas containers, E-wastes, except for those materials included in approved AUTHORITY collection or drop off programs. To discourage unacceptable loads from entering the facility signs are posted at the Scale House, Self Haul, and Buyback areas which clearly inform drivers of unacceptable waste material types. The hazardous waste random Load Screening Program will help detect and exclude hazardous waste and other unacceptable waste from this facility. Load Screening Program The facility will have personnel on staff to conduct the incoming load screening program. At a minimum, the facility will conduct two (2) random load checks per day at the transfer station. The load check is where an incoming load will be selected (without prior notice) for spreading on the tipping floor, or some suitable area, so that its contents may be thoroughly visually inspected for hazardous waste, e-wastes, questionable waste, and unacceptable items. The scale house will display a prominent sign stating what wastes are not acceptable, and that all vehicles are subject to random search. Relevant results of load checking I screening will be documented, kept in a log book, the records will be stored onsite. Copies of the load checking records will be kept onsite for one year, and made available for review by inspectors. In addition to visual load checking, all loaded vehicles crossing the scale will be scanned for radioactive materials using equipment provided by AUTHORITY. Personnel are trained in the recognition of prohibited wastes and the management and reporting procedure thereof as part of their training for Hazardous Materials Handling Procedures. The hazardous material storage areas are located in the transfer station [specific area to be determined once transfer station improvements are determined]. A description of the on site storage areas and additional details of the facility's Load Check Program are included in the Injury, Illness, and Prevention Program (IIPP). Handling Hazardous Waste Any hazardous or unacceptable waste that is found in a customer's load is handled in one of three ways: (1) return waste to customer's vehicle, if safe, and let them take it away; (2) if customer has departed but the generator can be immediately determined, the generator will be contacted and advised to make arrangements to pick up the material immediately; or (3) if the generator cannot be determined, then arrangements will be made with a hazardous waste hauler for proper transportation and disposal within 60 days.
