11 Load Checking. Recognizing that load checking is currenfiy being implememed by the local solid waste management facilities, the County has incorporated no new program in this area. Because of the nature of the material recovery facility (MRF) at the Pleasanton Transfer Station Cdtunp and sort"), no separate load checking program is necessary. SELECTION OF HHW PROGRAM This section discusses the HHW programs that were selected by Pleasanton as mandated by Section 18751.4 of the State Planning Guidelines for the HHW Element. The load checking program at Pleasanton Transfer Station will be continued. There are no plans to continue the one-day collection events. Pleasanton has selected participation in the County's permanent HHW collection facility, which includes collection, recycling, and public education and information. County Program On the basis of the Tanner Plan and the passage of AB 939 and All 2707, the Authority developed a Household Hazardous Waste/Mini Generator Collection Program which was approveel by the County Board of Supervisors in June 1990. The program consists of building three permanent HHW collection facilities. Specific locations for these facilities have not been selected. However, the general locations of the facilities will be the north/central area, southem area, and eastern area of the County. A northern facility will cover the cities of Piedmont, F~meryville, Oakland, Berkeley, and Albany. The southern facility will cover the cities of Hayward, Castro Valley, Fremont, Union City, San Leandro, and some of the unincorporated areas of the County. The eastem facility will cover the cities of Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, and the remaining tinincorporated areas of the County. A descriptioh of the proposed methods for handling and disposal of the HHW is provided later in this report. The Countywide HHW/Mini Generator Collection Program consists of the following individual programs: collection, recycling, and public education and information. One of the three proposed permanent HHW collection facilities will be located in the eastern part of the County. This will be the designated HHW collection facility for Pleasanton. The cost to Pleasanton of participation in this facility is discussed in the Funding section. Collection of recydable HHW, such as batteries, oil and paint, will occur at permanent HHW collection facilities and at the Pleasanton Transfer Station where Pleasanton's wastes are load-checked. The public education and information portion of the County program is described later in this report. City of Pleasanton Printed on recycled paper ~7~uoaT~q, usAs-r~mwau-r
