deposit, or
dump,
or cause to be placed, deposited, or dumped, in or upon any County owned,
leased, or contracted transfer station or disposal site in the County, any solid waste
originating outside of the County
of
Riverside, provided however, the General Manager-Chief
Engineer of the Department of Waste Resources has discretion to accept incidental amounts
of refuse from outside of Riverside County
and
near County borders for disposal at County
landfills when payment is made according to Appendix A for such incidental
refuse.

stations

Ord. 779 Page 2 of 6
Except for short-term emergencies, any regulation fixing days or hours of
operation shall be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for approval before taking effect. All
regulations prescribed
by
the General Manager-Chief Engineer of the Department of Waste
Resources shall be filed in his or

Section 5. HAZARDOUS WASTE LOAD CHECKING PROGRAM. All landfills and
transfer stations in the County shall implement and maintain a hazardous waste load checking
program at
each
of their solid waste facilities as required by California law (pursuant to Titles 14
and 27, California
Code
of Regulations); and which program shall also meet the minimum
requirements outlined in this ordinance.
a. Each solid waste facility operator shall perform random load checks
across all
load
types including self-haul residential, business and
industrial waste loads, franchise hauler waste loads (including residential,
commercial and industrial) to detect hazardous waste before such
incoming waste is transferred to, and/or disposed at,
the
landfill. Such
program shall have the objectives of: 1) preventing hazardous
waste
from being placed in a landfill not permitted to receive such waste and 2)
educating and discouraging both facility self-haul customers and franchise
waste hauler customers from bringing or sending in such material. The
minimum number of
load
checks performed at each solid waste facility
shall comply with the following
schedule:
Landfill/Transfer Station Random Load Check
Schedule
Average Daily Tonnage Random Samples per
Day
0 to 100 tons/day **
101 to 600 tons/day
6*
601 to 1,000+ tons/day 10*
* The initial schedule is for a minimum number of “Random Samples
per Day” for
a
minimum of three rotating days per week so
arriving
customers
will not
know
when there will be an inspection.. If a problem
persists with large quantities of hazardous
waste
being found at the
landfill or transfer station, the Enforcement Agency or the General
Manager-Chief Engineer of the Department of Waste Resources may
require the number of “Random Samples per Day to be applied every day
the solid waste facility
is
open until the problem is deemed corrected.
**Minimum of 6 samples per week – may all be performed on
the same
day
b. An inspection form (which shall be certified for
completeness
and
accuracy
by the load check inspector on duty) shall be filled out in its entirety at the
time of each load check performed at the solid waste facility. The
inspection form shall include the following information, to be filled out at
the time of
inspection:
1) Date and time of
inspection
2) Load check inspector name, (certification)
3)
Load type (residential, commercial, industrial)
4) Hauler/company name/customer
name
5) Driver
name
6) Vehicle type (e.g. Hand Unload, Dump Truck, Side Loader, Front
End Loader, or Roll
Off)
Ord. 779 Page 3 of 6
7) License plate number
8) Whether or not the load contained prohibited
waste
c. When prohibited waste is found, forms shall include the
following:
1) Load origin (jurisdiction or route number for side loaders and front
end loader vehicles, customer/store name and address where
picked up for all other vehicle
types)
2) Hazardous waste found (type/name, class, container size/quantity,
volume/weight, unit of gallons or pounds)
3) Disposition of material (e.g. picked up by responsible party,
returned
with
customer at time of inspection, solid waste facility
assumed responsibility of the material, etc.)
d. Management shall review completed forms at a frequency sufficient to
ensure forms
are
filled out completely and correctly.
e. The General Manager-Chief Engineer of the Department of Waste
Resources or his designated representative and/or a representative of
the Enforcement Agency shall have the right to enter the solid waste
facilities at any time to audit their load check program’s compliance with
these standards. These audits shall be limited to four
times
in any 12
month period and may include three days in which Department of
Waste
Resources personnel perform load checks at the facility and one
day in which Department of Waste Resources staff review the facility’s
written load check program, hazardous waste and universal waste
shipping records, facility personnel
training
records, hazardous waste
storage areas, and load checking procedures in order to audit the solid
waste
facility
load checking program
and/or assist
the
operator
in making
its load checking program
successful.
Section 6. SALVAGE OPERATIONS. Subject to the approval of the Board of
Supervisors,
salvage operations of reusable waste materials at all County owned, leased,
or contracted
transfer
stations and disposal sites in the County may be conducted only by
such persons as are authorized to do so and upon such terms and conditions as are imposed
by the General Manager-Chief Engineer of the Department of Waste Resources
.
Section 7.
FEES.
a. Tipping Fees at Scaled Urban Sites: Pursuant to the authority of
Government
Code
Section 25823, fees for the disposal of solid waste and
disposal of liquid waste at enumerated landfills shall be as established by
the Board of Supervisors following
a
duly noticed public hearing. The fees
so
established
shall be in an amount sufficient to cover all costs including but
not limited to the following: closure/postclosure (including past unfunded
costs), remediation, environmental mitigation, state mandated and
other
pass-through fees, and general operations. Such fees and the landfills to
which they shall apply appear as Appendix A to this Ordinance. The

Ord. 779 Page 4 of 6
b. Fees for Disposal at Rural Sites: Pursuant to the authority of Government
Code
Section
25823, fees for the disposal of solid waste at landfills and
transfer stations, formerly in a land use assessment area, shall be as
established by the Board of Supervisors following
a
duly noticed public
hearing. The fees so established shall be calculated to recover a fair share

these
landfills and transfer stations shall be offered for sale to residents and
businesses (only in the local areas surrounding these sites as shown on
maps in Exhibit 1) at rates set by
the
Board of Supervisors. No access to
these facilities will be allowed without a card, except

separate contracts with the County. Waste from outside these areas shall not
be accepted at the rural sites providing, however, waste from
unincorporated
areas outside of, but near the borders of these service areas may be
accepted under the same terms and conditions herein set forth, if it is
determined by the General Manager-Chief Engineer of the Department of
Waste Resources that this is the most practical way to provide
disposal
service to these customers. Such rates and the landfills and transfer
stations to which
they
apply shall appear in Appendices B and C to this
Ordinance.
c. Miscellaneous Fees. A schedule of miscellaneous fees is attached as
Appendix D.

the Department of Waste Resources. Violation
of
any such regulation shall be a violation of
this
Ordinance.
Section 9. VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES. The General Manager-Chief Engineer
of the Department of Waste Resources reserves the right to deny entrance to an individual for
an appropriate time span when said individual is deemed to pose a safety risk and/or is
disruptive to the normal
workflow
of the landfill or transfer station operations. A letter of
notification specifying the dates and location(s)
of
restriction will be mailed to the individual and
be on hand at the gate fee booth(s).
It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any provision of this Ordinance. Any person
violating any provision of this Ordinance may be deemed guilty of an infraction or

exceeding
One Hundred dollars ($100.00) for a first
violation;
(2)
guilty
of an infraction offense and punished by a fine not exceeding Two Hundred
