Spanish Fork, UT 84660 www.suvswd.org 801-489-3027 Prepared by: 370 E. 500 S. Ste 200 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 www.forsgren.com 801-364-4785 February 2024 Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 2 Plan of Operations CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Plan of Operations is to assist the Operations Manager and operating personnel in conducting day-to-day operations in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for the operation of a non-hazardous waste transfer facility. The operating plan describes the methods for managing and operating the SUVSWD Transfer Station. The plan presents the equipment utilized at the Transfer Station for waste transportation, process flows, and site access control. The plan addresses the procedures that will be used to control hazardous or banned waste, litter, odor, vectors, and water pollution. FACILITY LOCATION The facility is in Spanish Fork, Utah at the following address: 518 W. 3450 N. Spanish Fork, UT. 84660 CONTACT INFORMATION The following individual is the primary contact for the facility: Terry Ficklin General Manager (801)-489-3027 FACILITY DESCRIPTION SUVSWD is in the south end of Utah County, and is made up of several member municipalities, including Provo, Springville, Spanish Fork, Mapleton, Salem, Woodland Hills, and Goshen. In 1990, SUVSWD opened its doors to a new transfer station in Springville designed to serve each of its member cities, excluding Goshen who transports its city’s waste directly to Bayview landfill. Due to the rapid population growth seen throughout the south end of Utah County, the District is now disposing of more than 200,000 tons per year of solid waste. SUVSWD has purchased land in Spanish Fork to construct a New Transfer Station to meet the growing solid waste needs for the district’s member cities. The 23-acre green-field property is located at 518 West 3450 North, Spanish Fork, UT. This new facility is designed with safety and efficiency at the forefront. Self-haul and public access will be separate from commercial and curbside collection vehicles, including separate entrances. Public access will be from the newly constructed 3450 North roadway. Commercial and hauling access will be from the newly constructed 600 West roadway. The facility will utilize (3) three side load compactors to efficiently compact and transfer waste from the tipping floor to hauling vehicles. All waste operations will take place inside the fully enclosed 108,000 square foot building. Household hazardous waste (HHW) will be contained and processed inside its own adjacent building. Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 3 Plan of Operations The new state-of-the-art facility is a tilt-up concrete structure. Other onsite structures include a maintenance building, HHW building, administration building, scale house, and other site structures. Sizing is based on average and peak day throughputs of 1,200 and 2,400 tons/day, respectively. The fundamental purpose of this facility is to collect and centralize waste from commercial and residential locations within the district boundary, where it will be consolidated into higher volume transfer vehicles for shipment to local disposal sites. Services include field operations, transportation, short term (10-day) household hazardous waste storage, and special hauls for commercial customers upon request. The facility also provides in-house maintenance, on-site fueling, educational and training opportunities for its employees and the public in the education room on the second floor of the administration building. ON-SITE PERSONNEL A site supervisor will be responsible for all operations at the transfer station. He will be responsible for the training of all employees in safety and fire protection practices. He will also be responsible for the training of employees in the inspection and identification of unauthorized waste. A minimum of (4) four personnel will be onsite during all operational hours. A scale house attendant will monitor traffic flows and, when applicable, record weights of incoming and outgoing vehicles. A minimum of two operators will be on the tipping floor. One operates a front- end loader to direct waste into the compactor. A second operator directs collection vehicles near the tipping floor and picks out selected materials, such as tires and batteries, from waste. A third operator supervises compactor operations and the loading of transfer trailers from the operations nest or behind the push wall near the compactors. SUVSWD expects to continue with similar staffing numbers as currently utilized at the existing facility. Additional staff may be added in the future as needed for hauling and operations. SUVSWD currently staffs between 35-40 employees. HOURS OF OPERATION The following hours of operation are anticipated: Open to the Public and Commercial Collection Mon-Sat 7am-6pm Closed Sundays Closed on Major Holidays EQUIPMENT At least one front end loader will be maintained on site to move waste from the tipping floor into the side load stationary compactors. Three (3) SSI hydraulic compactors compress waste into bales and transfer bales into 45-foot and 30-foot aluminum transfer trailers. To maintain efficiency, preventative maintenance of the equipment used on-site will be performed according to manufacturer specifications (See Operating and Maintenance Manual for details). Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 4 Plan of Operations We will operate using (7) scales. One (1) 110-foot will be dedicated to the SUVSWD hauling vehicles. Two (2) 70-foot scales with automated kiosks are dedicated to commercial vehicles at the commercial entrance. Between two (2) and four (4) scales will be dedicated to public self- haul vehicle traffic. All scales will be outfit with automated features to increase efficiency and throughput. The site will include a fueling station for SUVSWD rolling stock and hauling vehicles as permitted by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. TRAFFIC VOLUMES A traffic impact study was completed by Hales Engineering to analyze anticipated traffic flows on the new roadways leading to the transfer station. This study can be provided on request. Future peak data assumes the following: • 137 trips/hour during the morning peak hour • 118 trips/hour during the evening peak hour • 40 hauling trips/day Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 5 Plan of Operations CHAPTER 2: DESIGN REQUIREMENTS (R315-312-2) FENCING The property is enclosed by a 6-foot-tall pre-cast concrete fence sitting on top of a 3-foot-tall earthen berm. The entrances are equipped with industrial cantilevered slide gates at entrances. All exterior gates are equipped with SFC (Spanish Fork City) approved “Knox Boxes” for fire access, per Spanish Fork city standards. SCREENING All waste handling and bulking activities will be performed within the enclosed building. However, vegetation and site grading provide additional screening that keep operations at the property from view. TIPPING FLOOR PROTECTION Operations will occur in the fully enclosed building with overhead doors that can be opened and closed depending on activities and weather such as wind, rain or snow. The building parking and access areas are all asphalt or concrete and the interior floor itself is concrete. BUFFER ZONE Although there is no requirement for a buffer zone due to there being no adjacent residential zoning, a buffer of more than 50 feet from the building (on all sides) to adjacent industrial neighbors is provided. The facility is also buffered by nearly 4-acres of wetlands to its east. WATER HANDLING The tipping floor is protected from onsite runoff since the transfer building is completely enclosed. Slopes are graded away from the building. All stormwater runoff from the Transfer Station grounds is retained on site in detention basins according to Spanish Fork City Standards and discharged at a rate acceptable to city standards. A long-term stormwater management plan is developed and adopted according to Spanish Fork City Standards. VENTILATION AND AIR QUALITY The transfer station has a sophisticated HVAC system where air is circulated continuously and changed 6 times per hour. The system creates negative pressure into the facility as the roll-up doors open to keep trash from exiting. No significant air quality emissions are expected to result from the operation of this facility. Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 6 Plan of Operations CHAPTER 3: PLAN OF OPERATIONS INTENDED SCHEDULE OF CONSTRUCTION It is anticipated that the facility will be ready for operations by April of 2024. Construction will be a 24-month build time. ON SITE WASTE HANDLING PROCEDURES This transfer station operates by way of a traditional tipping floor but with the added functionality of a “push wall” and compactors. Loaders move waste along this wall into side-load compactor openings, of which there are three, (two on the north side and one on the west). Waste is then compacted and placed into waiting trucks for removal to the appropriate recycling, sorting, or disposal facility. Three compactors and multiple loaders give the facility redundancy in the event of a mechanical failure. No waste will be stored outside the building, per the conditional use permit. In the exceedingly rare event that the landfill or roads that go to the landfill are closed, the transfer station can continue operations by storing inbound waste on the tipping floor for up to three days due to the size of the transfer floor. Curbside collection vehicles, SUVSWD roll-off trucks, and commercial vehicles with accounts set up for RFID scanning will enter the site on 600 West and proceed to the automated commercial scale. These vehicles continue through the commercial high-speed roll up doors into the enclosing tipping floor area where an operator will direct the vehicles to an open unloading position. The collection vehicle will then go back in and unload waste onto the tipping floor. Public and self-haul traffic will enter the facility on 3450 North. Gate attendants at the public scale house will record vehicle weights and collect fees. Public and self-haul vehicles will continue into the facility through the public high-speed roll up doors into the enclosed tipping floor area where an operator will direct the vehicles to an open unloading position. On Saturdays, public and self-haul vehicles may use both the commercial and public sides of the facility. A front-end loader will push the municipal solid waste and recycling into the compactor chutes at the push wall. The waste is then compacted and loaded into transfer trailers. Waste will be confined within the transfer building. It is expected that all waste will be loaded into the trailers by the end of each day. The facility is also fitted with five (5) loading docks for waste diversion. 53-foot trailers will normally be positioned at the roll-up doors to accept e-waste, white goods, mattresses, tires, metals, cardboard, and other items pulled from the waste stream. A household hazardous waste (HHW) building is constructed adjacent to the tipping floor. The public may bring household waste items for proper disposal, i.e. pesticides, fertilizers, batteries, oil, paints, and other hazardous waste items. The public will enter through the main transfer station doors and unload these items in bins as directed by SUVSWD staff. HHW operators may Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 7 Plan of Operations then dispose of the items in the HHW building. Public access is generally not permitted inside the HHW building without proper supervision. Keeping Waste Onsite: • All waste will be stored, processed, and compacted inside the new 109,000 square foot transfer station building, or inside 53-foot trailers attached to the loading docks. • During normal hours of operation, municipal solid waste (MSW) is removed within a couple hours of arriving at the facility. • Bayview landfill closes at 4:30pm, so waste received at the transfer station after 3pm will be loaded into hauling trailers and staged for delivery the following morning. • Waste collected on Saturdays is stored in hauling trailers until Monday morning. • The following presents typical waste removal intervals: o MSW: Daily (24-30 loads per day) o Recycling: Daily (2-3 loads per day) o C&D: Daily (1-2 loads per day) o White Goods: Weekly o E-Waste (Electronics) Weekly o Tires: Weekly o Metals: Daily o HHW: Weekly o Mattresses: Weekly Truck and Vehicle Routes: • Inbound / outbound access points have been purposefully located on 600 West and 3450 North to help direct main flows of traffic to 600 West. • Cities providing their own curbside collection will be encouraged to adopt traffic routes where curbside collection vehicles use SR77 and 600 West as their only access routes. • Cities who contract curbside collection to private haulers will be encouraged to add language in their contracts requiring curbside collection vehicles to use SR77 and 600 West as their only access routes. • SUVSWD hauling trucks will ONLY use 600 West and SR77 as their access points. • Self-haul and public vehicles will be encouraged to utilize 600 west. • Signage will be provided by SUVSWD on 600 West and 3450 North at locations directed by Spanish Fork City along Main Street and SR77. WASTE SCREENING When possible, each load will be visually screened by the scale house attendants for possible banned wastes. If the gate attendant suspects any banned waste, the deliverer will be asked to describe the origin and the contents of their load. The operators will continually monitor the tipping floor for prohibited waste. The operators will separate selected permissible materials for proper disposal. Materials such as tires, metals, and batteries will be picked out and stored separately at the loading docks. Random loads of waste will be selected, based on the total number of commercial vehicles, and thoroughly screened by trained employees for evaluation of waste composition. Surveillance Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 8 Plan of Operations and inspection records will be documented and will include date and time of inspection, deliverer name, detected waste, action taken to manage waste, employee identification, and any other pertinent observations. Any prohibited waste that cannot be returned to the generator will be separated from the municipal waste stream. The prohibited waste will be characterized and segregated into the proper hazard class for storage until disposal at an appropriate facility can be arranged. The proper regulatory agency will be contacted as to the quantity and type of waste found for the purposes of tracking and identifying the generator. Hot load sensors may be located at the commercial scales to identify potential fires and prohibited waste in the hauling vehicles. Hot loads will be directed to the hot load pad outside of the building where the load will be dumped, sorted, and cleared of any hazardous items or fires. Loader operators will then push the waste into the building for proper disposal in the transfer trailers. Each load will be visually screened by scale house attendants to verify loads are covered properly. SUVSWD’s current policy requires that all loads are covered, as required by Utah State Law. Uncovered Load Regulations: • Uncovered loads will be charged an additional fee on top of the load fee. Uncovered load fees will be reviewed periodically to ensure fee structure is effective in encouraging covered loads. • Member cities are encouraged to help educate residents on the importance of covering waste loads when coming to the transfer station. • This policy will be reviewed periodically to ensure fees and policies remain effective. OVERLOADING AND COMPACTOR MAINTENANCE One compactor will be designated the primary municipal solid waste compactor and may operate 12-13 hours per day. For peak loading periods, a secondary compactor will be utilized. This secondary compactor will also be used for screened loads and in the event the primary compactor breaks downs and maintenance. The third compactor will be dedicated to recycling but may be used for municipal solid waste during compactor maintenance. Preventative maintenance of all three stationary compactors will be conducted according to manufacturer’s specifications. FACILITY INSPECTION SCHEDULE The Operations Manager is responsible for conducting and recording routine inspections of the facility. The schedule for conducting routine inspections will be as follows: Daily visual inspections on equipment, concrete condition, and site cleanliness will be conducted. Weekly inspections will be conducted on floor cleanliness, utility maintenance, personnel safety equipment, storm water management, and materials inventory. All weekly inspections will be documented and maintained on site. Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 9 Plan of Operations SANITATION AND FACILITY CLEANUP PROCEDURES Daily cleanup procedures include: • Clearing the transfer station tipping floor daily if transfer trailers are available for overnight storage. If no trailers are available for storage, waste may be stored on the tipping floor inside the enclosed facility. The odor control system shall be utilized during times of indoor storage. • Clearing all migrating trash from the Transfer station grounds, inside the facility fencing, at the end of each day. • The tipping floor will be swept, and floor drains cleared of debris. Weekly cleanup procedures: • The facility is equipped with several water hoses located around the tipping floor. Two to three times a week the tipping floor will be washed down. The exterior concrete trailer staging pad shall also be washed down two to three times per week. Wastewater from this procedure is collected in drains and pasted through a grit interceptor to remove heavy solids. The water is then sent to the Spanish Fork sewer collection system for further processing. • Clearing all migrating trash along the 3450 North roadway from Main Street to 600 West, and along 600 West from 3000 North to SR77, and along 3000 North from Main Street to 600 West. This shall be completed at a minimum of 3 times per week, or more often if daily visual inspections warrant additional cleanup. • The maintenance plan for the wetland area is developed per Army Corp of Engineer’s requirements for approval of wetland mitigation. Although we expect migration of waste from the new facility to be minimal, SUVSWD will monitor the wetlands area on a weekly basis and provide cleanup as needed. CONTINGENCY PLANS FOR FIRE OR EXPLOSION • Fire Suppression System Overview • Incident Assessment & Decision Process • Emergency Response Procedures • Emergency Procedures for Fire & Explosion • Evacuation Procedures Fire Suppression system overview The Transfer Station tipping floor is equipped with a dry fire suppression system. A wet automatic sprinkler system is provided in the HHW Building, Admin Building, and Maintenance Building. Flame detecting cameras are located throughout the tipping floor to provide early detection of fires inside the waste stream. The early detection cameras will charge the wet system if hot spots or fires are detected. Deluge water cannons are located above the tipping floor so operators can quickly suppress any hot spots or fires. Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 10 Plan of Operations Dry fire suppression is also designed to be remotely monitored. Sirens and strobe lights are provided around the tipping floor. Yard hydrants are located at the hot load pad and trailer staging pad for additional outdoor fire coverage. Several fire extinguishers are conveniently located throughout all buildings and the scale house. Fire extinguishers will be serviced regularly to ensure proper working order. In the case of a major fire, the Spanish Fork City Fire Department will be contacted. The phone number of the fire department will be posted near each telephone. The Fire Department will be aware of the transfer station location, site entrance, and familiar with the exterior mounted fire connections at each of the two (2) fire riser rooms. There may be an emergency caused by fire or explosion that originates from the transfer floor of the building. The contingency plan presented herein contains the portions of the overall facility Contingency Plan that directly apply to the transfer facility. In the event of fire, explosion or spill, appropriate response activities will be initiated after the initial evaluation of the event. An assessment of the situation is performed immediately by the Emergency Coordinator (herein referred to as the Operations Manager defined in this document), or designated personnel, in their absence. Response activities are directed, as appropriate, and a decision is made whether to implement all, or a part of, the contingency plan outlined in this section. Incident Assessment and Decision Process Should a fire, explosion, or spill be of a minor or controllable nature and present no potential hazard to human health or the environment, the Operations Manager will implement emergency alert and post-emergency procedures only to the extent necessary to respond to the event without full implementation of this plan. The Operations Manager will direct the following activities: • Where applicable, see that operations are stopped and that any spills are contained and collected to ensure that fire or explosions do not spread. • Determine the source and extent of the spilled materials and assess the primary and secondary hazards. • Ensure that any material spilled in the incident area is isolated from incompatible materials. • Activate and direct the activities in the following section as necessary. Emergency Response Procedures In the event of an emergency, or potential emergency, the following actions will be taken to assess the extent of the problem: • Note if an actual or potential fire is involved • Note the exact location of the incident, and Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 11 Plan of Operations • Note any injuries requiring medical attention Emergency Procedures for Fire/Explosion In the event of a small-scale fire/explosion within the facility, the Operations Manager, or designated personnel, together with site personnel will initiate appropriate fire control procedures. This immediate response may result in the fire being extinguished or contained. The response will be under the direct supervision of the Operations Manager, or designated personnel. Control and responsibility for emergency response will transfer to the Spanish Fork Fire Department when they arrive on site. Once responsibility has been transferred, site personnel will stand by in an advisory capacity if needed. The Operations Manager will remain with the fire chief and act as an advisor and liaison between the Fire Department and the site personnel Operations Manager (or designated personnel) will: • Make certain the Spanish Fork Fire Department has been contacted. Non-Emergency Dispatch—801-798-5600 Fire and EMS Office—801-804-4703 • Will assess the condition of the fire and direct site personnel to prevent the spread of the fire to flammable material. This includes stopping operations, removing isolated containers and applying direct fire control techniques. • Will make certain that all facility personnel have been notified that a fire condition exists and that the facility evacuation procedures will commence. • Will collaborate with site personnel to assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result directly or indirectly from the fire (e.g., the effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating gases that are generated, or the effect of any hazardous surface water run-offs from water or chemical agents used to control fire and explosions). Evacuation Procedures If the Operations Manager, or designated personnel, determines that the incident (i.e. fire, explosion, or release) poses a threat to facility employees, an order to evacuate the facility will be given. If an assessment indicated that the evacuation of the local areas may be advisable, the proper authorities (fire, police, Utah Department of Environmental Quality, and National Response Center (HRC) will be notified immediately. When ordering an evacuation, the following should be considered: • If airborne contaminants are involved, such as gas, mist, fume, or vapor, determine wind direction and direct all personnel up-wind for their protection. • Should other flammable materials be quickly moved to another location? Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 12 Plan of Operations • Should any electrical sources be shut down? • Should any equipment be removed from the premises? The Operations Manager will assume the following responsibilities when an order has been given to evacuate the facility: • Personnel will evacuate the building when the evacuation alarm sounds. • Account for all personnel at the designated assembly area Evacuation routes and muster areas: • All persons on-site, except for those tasked with response activities, will evacuate to the bus parking location on the east side of the property. • During an emergency, it is very important to keep from impeding the work of the Fire Department or other emergency response personnel, and • Central evacuation areas are necessary to facilitate good communication. SAFETY Safety training for personnel will be provided routinely and will be the responsibility of the SUVSWD Safety Coordinator. The safety coordinator will investigate and report all accidents. The site supervisor will enforce safety rules and policies daily and report accidents to the safety coordinator. Lockout / tagout procedures will be followed for maintenance and cleaning of onsite equipment. Inoculations for employees will be provided to prevent infection from blood-borne pathogens. COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES Tipping floor operators are provided with radios for onsite communication. A telephone with a direct connection to the scale operator is provided near the tipping floor. There are several telephones and radios in the office building for communication off site. ODOR AND DUST CONTROL Clearing the tipping floor area of waste will be completed at the end of each day to help mitigate odors. Periodic washdowns of the tipping floor further control the presence of odors and excessive dust buildup. Odor and dust reduction/mitigation: • The new Transfer Station facility includes dust and odor control by way of a water/enzyme misting system supplied by FOGCO. The FOGCO system is divided into (3) independently controlled zones over the transfer station tipping floor to provide the owner flexibility in controlling dust and delivery of the odor controlling solution. • Priority zone 1 is located over the main commercial waste drop off area and will operate most open hours. Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 13 Plan of Operations • Priority zones 2 and 3 are located over the self-haul/public drop areas. These are controlled remotely and will be used as needed for odor and dust control. • The FOGCO system uses a stream of high-pressure fog to knockdown and control dust. Once the fog contains the dust particles, they are pushed to the ground and eliminated from the air. Additionally, this device assists in relinquishing odors produced by solid waste. • The high-pressure misting system produces a fine, atomized fog that dampens odor molecules by injecting a safe, proprietary agent into the system’s water supply. • Non-hazardous in case of skin contact, of eye contact, of ingestion, of inhalation. • Toxicological Data on Ingredients: Non-Toxic, non-sensitizing, non-cytotoxic • In addition to these systems, the transfer floor itself is equipped with 15 intake louvres and 8 (30”) exhaust fans that produce 6 air changes per hour. LITTER CONTROL PLAN All transfer of municipal waste will occur inside the transfer building and will be protected from the wind. A perimeter fence will catch any incidental windblown liter that escapes the transfer building. The fence will be cleared of liter weekly or when necessary. Commercial vehicle loads will be covered as they enter and exit the site. Transfer trailers will be covered before they leave the building. Private vehicles are required to cover their loads or pay an additional fee at the gate. • All operations will occur inside the building. • Any track out litter will be swept and picked up by site personnel. • Daily and weekly inspections will document the conditions of the property and surrounding area with corrective action as needed. The Operations Manager is responsible for ensuring a clean site. • The interior of the building will be cleaned on a regularly scheduled basis. PROCEDURES TO EXCLUDE HAZARDOUS WASTE AND PCB’S All facility personnel will be trained in waste-screening procedures. All personnel will receive periodic training in detecting waste that is prohibited for disposal at the facility. This training will consist of initial training and annual refresher training. All personnel will be trained to identify and properly handle and segregate any radioactive, hazardous, liquid, or any other unauthorized solid waste. This may include: • ‘Hazardous waste’ as defined in 40 C.F.R. part 261, as such part may be amended and expanded from time to time, and in Utah Code Section 19-6-102(9). • Any material that is now or hereafter defined by applicable Federal, State or Local Laws, regulation, or ordinance as radioactive, toxic, hazardous or extremely hazardous waste. • Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 14 Plan of Operations • Soils contaminated with hazardous, radioactive, or toxic wastes, or hazardous or toxic substances as such terms are defined by applicable Federal or State law or regulations. • Asbestos, including the asbestiform varieties of serpentite (chrysolite), riebeckite (crocidolite), cummingtonite-grunerite, anthophyllite and actinolite-tremolite. • Any material which contains asbestos (“ACM”), including asbestos waste from control devices, contaminated clothing, asbestos-waste material, materials used to enclose the work area during asbestos project, or bags or containers that previously contained asbestos. Personnel will conduct routine inspections and random load inspections. Loads will be selected randomly for a more detailed inspection to detect inadvertently deposited materials. A location for waste screening will be designated. When unauthorized waste is identified, it will be segregated, properly contained, and disposed of at a certified facility. General inspections of loads, as well as random load inspections will help identify unauthorized waste. When unauthorized waste is identified, whether through general inspection or random inspection, the event will be documented with a description of the unauthorized waste along with remedial actions taken. VECTOR CONTROL PROCEDURES The primary method of vector control is to not provide the conditions necessary for their survival. Clearing the tipping floor area of waste will be completed at the end of each day to help mitigate potential vector populations. Periodic washdowns of the tipping floor may occur during operations to further control the presence of odors and vectors. The Operations Manager will ensure that the waste moves efficiently through the building and that it is contained in the proper areas, tipping floor, roll off bins, and vehicles, according to this plan. Daily and weekly inspections will document the presence of vectors and initiate corrective actions. Corrective actions may include, but not limited to, the setting of traps, a poison control plan under the direction of a professional exterminator which meets all requirements and regulations, odor masking, misting systems or other proven odor control methods, and power washing or steam cleaning of the structure and equipment. Approved pesticides may be applied if necessary. Lastly, to keep the facility free of birds, high strength bird netting will be installed on the transfer station ceiling trusses and bird spikes installed on horizontal surfaces in the transfer station. ALTERNATIVE WASTE HANDLING PLAN Any waste that is nonconforming with the established waste handling plan provided in the subsection “On-site Waste Handling Procedures” will be rejected and either sent back to the generator or to a proper waste disposal facility. Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 15 Plan of Operations TRAINING PLANS Facility personnel will be trained according to the duties required by certain job categories. Training records will be submitted with annual facility reports. In general, personnel will receive one or more of the following: • OSHA Safety Training • First Aid Training • Posting of Safety Goals and objectives • PPE equipment will be mandatory for all personnel and visitors • Safe Equipment Operation Training in concert with equipment suppliers Dry Creek Transfer Station Page | 16 Plan of Operations CHAPTER 4: RECORD KEEPING, REPORTING, AND INSPECTIONS (R315-315-2(3,4,5)) DAILY OPERATING RECORD The facility’s record keeping will track material content, date of arrival and tonnage. Waste will be screened for hazardous materials. Random load inspections will be conducted to ensure compliance with requirements which will be logged and maintained on site. The Operations Manager, or designated personnel, will complete and sign the Daily Operations Record form, document tonnages, and note any deviations from the Operational Plan. ANNUAL REPORT An annual report will be submitted prior to March 1st of each year in accordance with R315-315- 2(4)a for the previous calendar year. A calendar year is defined here as January 1st through December 31st. The annual report shall contain the following information: • Name and address of the facility • Calendar year covered by the report • Annual quantity, in tons, of solid waste received • Training programs or procedures completed OWNER/OPERATOR INSPECTIONS The Operations Manager, or designated personnel, will perform daily and weekly inspection procedures and report findings and keep the record on site. The Operations Manager will oversee all required load inspections, document, and maintain the findings. SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE INSPECTIONS The Solid and Hazardous waste inspections will be completed weekly for capacity and compliance. Any further inspections that the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control require will be performed as well. All inspection documents will be kept on site and available for review by regulators, as requested. FINAL CLOSURE Upon final closure of the facility, the transfer station tipping floor and building will be cleared of any remaining waste, swept, and washed down. Drains and the grit chamber will be cleared of any remaining debris. All litter will be collected from around the facility and the gate locked.
