The site operations manager may determine that a particular hauler or a particular problem
generator will require screenings on a regular basis due to repeated identification of prohibited
waste. The methodology for selecting the loads to be check should, at a minimum, be based on the
probability that a load may contain prohibited waste, based on type of business served orrype
hauler involved. A random selection procedure will be used to ensure that anyone may be checked
at anytime.
After a load has been selected the driver will be directed to an area designated for this purpose.
The load will then be dumped into a containment area and sorted through to identify any
prohibited waste.
Employees performing these duties will have proper waste screening training as well as proper
training on PPE required to perform this task. If any hazardous waste or suspect findings are made
the area will secured and emergency services will be contacted for further instructions.
Documentation of each event will be recorded and maintained on site.
3.0 Facilities
The Transfer Station will be a non -compacting type. Waste material will be tipped on a concrete
floor covered and surrounded on three sides by metal walls this will minimize wind blown refuse.
A rubber tired loader will be used to push material to loading area where material will drop
through a hole in the floor into a awaiting 90 yard open top trailer. A hydraulic cover system is
used on trailers to prevent materials from being blown out during transporting to regional landfill.
All Avery County landfill employees will be trained in the operation of all transfer station
equipment and safety precautions. Employees will receive training in emergencies and the
identification of hazardous waste and actions required for proper removal and disposal.
3.1 The transfer station operators will open the facility each workday and will begin by visually
inspecting all equipment and the facility. It will be the responsibility the operator to direct all -
traffic into and out of the transfer station facility and the tipping area specifically. The operator
will, as frequently as possible, make a visual inspection of the solid waste being deposited in the
transfer station in and effort to identify any hazardous or restricted material. The operator will be
responsible for the movement of all trash through the facility into the trailers. Any debris or solid
waste which is spilled outside the tipping floor during the unloading and loading process will be
the site operators responsibility the clean up. Site neatness and cleanliness is the responsibility of
all landfill employees, all extraneous solid waste will be swept up by broom or shovel and
removed during every operational day. Upon closing of the station, all areas of the station will be
cleaned of debris to prevent the propagation of insects and rodents. All pest (insects, rodents, etc.)
will be controlled by use of good housekeeping practices and pesticides which will be applied by a
licensed pest control vender at intervals which conditions require it. The station will not accept
liquids for disposal but may have some water in the waste during periods of rain. At the end of
each day, all waste will be cleaned from the floor by means necessary to accomplish task. There
will be no routine washing down of tipping floor. All liquids accumulated from the unloading and
loading process will drain into a holding tank, which will be analyzed annual unless otherwise
deemed necessary. The liquid will be transported to waste water treatment plant for proper
