materials. He did not think he had a copy with him at this time. That form is much more detailed and has places to fill in information on analytical material and the full laboratory results would be attached. It must come from a State certified lab and are reviewed by the site operating manager and the site technical manager prior to approval of material coming to the site. Mr. Pico asked what trucks do not get tracked. Mr. Thompson said municipal solid waste trucks are not tracked, but actually they are still tracked in a different way. For instance, the City of Dublin hauls packer truckers directly to the site. San Francisco and Davis Street haul transfer trucks into the site and they are bringing primarily municipal solid waste from residents or commercial business in Alameda County or San Francisco. They go through a waste exclusion and a load tracking program at those transfer stations prior to coming to the Altamont site. They are still subject to random inspections at the landfill. Those trucks are not tracked on a special waste or analytical basis because they contain primarily garbage from residences. Those vehicles are tracked by counts, volumes, and jurisdiction and monthly reports are sent to the County. Those monthly reports are available to the community monitor as well as all the truck counts. Self haulers are tracked at the gates in terms of the counts of the trucks. If the load is covered with a tarp, the tarp is removed and inspectors at the scales review the load prior to entering the site. Mr. Pico asked how much additional burden would it be to track every truck. That would make people more comfortable that there is a way to find a culprit if it is discovered later some illegal material was allowed into the landfill. Why would Waste Management object to some form of tracking that gave a complete record of all the trucks that go to the site. Is it because it takes extra time or resources? Mr. Thompson felt there must be some misunderstanding, because he is trying to explain that every single truck is tracked. They are tracked at different levels. A truck with municipal waste (something from someone's garbage can or from cleaning out a garage) is inspected but that material does not have analytical testing. But every load of material is tracked in terms of knowing its origin. There is very little self haul because most of it goes to the Vasco facility or to the transfer station Busch Road. Mr. Pico asked hypothetically if he rented a Uhaul and loaded it with asbestos that he had removed from his house ceiling and hauled it to the landfill, is he being tracked. Mr. Thompson said on his way into the landfill and up to the scale house, there are two sets of signs that specifically state what is prohibited at the site. The scale house inspectors are trained to look at the load and determine whether to admit the material. Very few trucks show up unannounced at the landfill. Mr. Pico was trying to clarify the tracking issue. That is the last issue. 40 09/20/99 Pleasanton City Council Minutes
