a a 3 A SECTION 1.3 - SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES 1.3.1 General Solid waste disposal procedures shall include unloading, inspecting for unacceptable waste, spreading and compacting the wastes and applying soil cover. No intentional burning of waste shall be allowed at the landfill. The integrity of the liner and leachate collection system shall be maintained. Traffic on the liner and leachate collection system will be permitted only if there is a minimum of 2 -feet of additional sand soil over the two foot liner protective layer or a 4 -foot thick layer of waste is over the protective sand layer and does not damage the compacted subgrade as determined by the County. To maintain the integrity of the liner and leachate collection system, the first lift of solid waste in each phase of the landfill shall be placed from the top of the slope or thickened sand layer. Solid waste transport vehicles, earth moving equipment, wheel compactors and other wheel equipment shall operate only on the top of the lift or on a pad of compacted compressible municipal solid waste except as otherwise specified. 1.3.2 Unloading Solid Wastes Vehicles may discharge waste at either the top or bottom of the sloping working face of' the fill, except vehicles shall not be permitted to operate on the landfill liner or protective layer until a suitable layer of waste is in place. Suitable inert debris materials may be used for in -cell road construction. The location of unloading shall be under the control of the Contractor at all times. Unloading operations shall be managed so that they do not cause unnecessary delay of waste hauling vehicles. Vehicles shall unload solid waste as close as possible to the working face of the fill. Waste shall then be spread and compacted by landfill equipment. The working face, where wastes are unloaded, inspected, spread, and compacted, shall be wide enough to prevent a backlog of vehicles waiting to unload and to allow adequate working space for landfill equipment, but narrow enough to conserve cover soil and to minimize litter and attraction of scavenger birds. The width of the working face shall not exceed 100 feet unless approved by the County. Special wastes which are mixed with Class I waste and are unloaded near the working face shall be separated and removed to the area designated for these wastes. The cost for operations shall include an allowance for normal amounts of special wastes such as tires, household hazardous wastes or other special wastes. The Contractor shall have a plan to handle asbestos. Indian River County receives other wastes as Class I which the Contractor should be prepared to handle. Other wastes include large quantities of citrus waste when the processing plants are working, and wastewater sludge. 1.3-1 l.Z•:o( .�i...ir�'F.i.��t:. tic .T;'.. !+147 ea16rnWtS47
