FMC
Driver Policies Effective Immediately Click
here for violation and penalty sheet Speed Limits ·
Speed limit on the scale is not to exceed 2 mph. ·
On landfill property other than the scale, speeds are not to
exceed 20 mph. This is necessary for everyone’s safety. ·
Sudden stops and starts on the scale will not be tolerated,
as scale damage may result. ·
Any party who causes damage to the scale will be responsible
for the repairs. Stop Signs All waste hauling vehicles must come to a full and complete stop at
all stop signs, including the area of scale house. Secured Loads All vehicles must have secured loads that prevent any leakage,
littering or run off of waste material or fluids. Tarps are to be used that are
secured tightly to the load, water resistant and not torn. No exposed waste
material should be visible. Drivers are not to prepare for unloading until
arrival at the designated area of the landfill. No tailgate of a vehicle is to
be loosened or opened prior to unloading at the active work face are of the
landfill. Stuck Vehicles Due to conditions of a landfill operation and lack of properly
equipped tires on vehicles, there may be
times that vehicles can become stuck in the active are of a landfill. When this
occurs the following guidelines will be in effect: ·
Driver is responsible for the vehicle and any damage
resulting from the towing operation. ·
Driver is to request assistance from the landfill staff for
an operator to assist the driver by a pull. ·
Pushing of vehicle by landfill equipment on the rear ICC
Bumper is to be avoided except only when necessary. ·
Driver is responsible for hooking the truck to the landfill
equipment with the driver's tow chain. Departure ·
Drivers are to inspect their vehicles to make sure that they
are clear of any waste debris prior to exiting the active area of the landfill.
This includes clearing any waste from the roll-off boxes, closing the tailgate,
and re-tarping the vehicle if necessary to prevent leaking or littering. ·
Boxes are to be lowered before exiting the active area of the
landfill to avoid debris and nails being strung along the roadways. Penalties Any violations of these rules and regulations will result in an
enforcement action that ranges from a written warning to suspension of landfill
dumping privileges. See the Violation Form for specific guidelines on the
enforcement action. Conduct All persons entering the landfill will follow all instructions by landfill personnel and must follow landfill policies and posted rules for their own safety. Any person and/or persons refusing to follow all landfill rules, speed limits, policies and instructions will be suspended from the premises and the use of the landfill until further notice. Factors contributing to suspension can include, but are not limited to an individual being discourteous, disrespectful or disruptive, driving recklessly, or not abiding by Agency rules and guidelines.
Current Wind Closing Policy: When winds reach 25 mph the Director will determine if waste can be contained. If not, haulers will be called and notified the time of closing. If the Landfill closes before 1:00 pm it may reopen the next regular business day an hour early., unless the landfill is already scheduled to be closed that day, or if winds are too high that morning to open for business. If you are not sure if the landfill will be open, call 877-982-4288 to confirm. If it is windy and you get the answering machine, the landfill is probably closed. Covered Load Policy: To avoid an additional $20.00 fee all loads brought to the landfill must be entirely covered with a tarp, snow fence or similar item.. This includes lumber and large objects. Ropes alone are not considered a cover. Certain "difficult to cover loads" may be exempted on a case by case basis by the Director. Conduct: All persons entering the landfill will follow all instructions by landfill personnel and must follow landfill policies and posted rules for their own safety. Any person and/or persons refusing to follow all landfill rules, policies and instructions will be suspended from the premises and the use of the landfill until further notice. Factors contributing to suspension can include, but are not limited to an individual being discourteous, disrespectful or disruptive, driving recklessly, or not abiding by Agency rules and guidelines. The Agency reserves the right to suspend anyone at any time without disclosing the reasons for doing so. Acceptable Material for Disposal: Users may only dispose at the landfill, in accordance with permitted procedures, Commercial, Residential, and Construction and Demolition Waste which originates from Floyd, Mitchell or Chickasaw counties in Iowa. Construction and Demolition Waste includes Solid Waste from building materials, packaging, and rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition operations on pavements, houses, commercial buildings, and other structures. Such waste may include: bricks, concrete, other masonry materials, soil, asphalt, rock, lumber, pallets, crates, rebar, glass, flooring, carpet and pad (only if the result of a remodel or demolition), sheet rock, roofing, insulation, windows, siding and gutters, steel and other metals generated by Construction and Demolition operations.

SPECIAL
WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
FOR
THE
FLOYD-MITCHELL
CHICKASAW LANDFILL
Permit
# 66-SDP-01-73P
This
document is intended to fulfill the requirements of the Iowa Dept. of Natural
Resources (IDNR) 567-Chapter 109 Special Waste Authorizations (SWA).
This document also contains the policies and procedures for
accepting both IDNR-approved SWAs and general special waste authorized by the
landfill permit. It is recognized
that this document may need to be revised as additional industry wastes are
generated and need disposal, as State and Federal regulations are changed, or
as landfill site conditions may require changes in waste handling procedures.
Any instructions given by Agency staff, and any requests prior to
unloading the Special Waste must be honored, and take precedence over
guidelines in this document. The
Agency reserves the right to reject any loads it does not feel comfortable
accepting.
I.
SPECIAL WASTE DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
Iowa
Dept. of Natural Resources rule 567-109.8(3) of the Iowa Administrative Code
states “The generator shall ensure that special waste coming into the
landfill shall arrive as a separate load and not be commingled with any other
waste”. To comply
with IDNR regulations, the Floyd-Mitchell-Chickasaw County Landfill will
require all special wastes to be delivered in a separate vehicle or separate
container that will allow the landfill operators to inspect the waste prior to
it being unloaded. This does not
prohibit a hauler from bring multiple special wastes in separate containers or
drums in the same vehicle as long as the landfill operator is able to open and
inspect the contents of each container prior to accepting the waste.
If multiple special wastes are delivered in this manner, the generator
and hauler must coordinate with the landfill staff to arrive at an appropriate
weight for each special waste for reporting to the IDNR.
Update
March 3, 2005 – this paragraph has been added to most Special Waste’s
scheduling procedures requirements:
The Floyd-Mitchell-Chickasaw County Landfill requires 24 hour notice of intended arrival, and one hour notice before delivery of any Special Waste, and that all Special Wastes arrive at the Agency before 12:00 pm, unless approval for a later time is granted by the Director. This notice and time of arrival will allow the landfill operator adequate time to dig a hole and have the waste properly disposed of well before the end of the day.
II.
SPECIAL WASTES ACCEPTANCE GUIDELINES
A.
Dipel Powder
1.
Scheduling procedures: The Generator must pre-arrange a delivery schedule in advance
with the Landfill Director if a larger than usual quantity is to be disposed
of. The hauler must identify the
load to the scale operator prior to unloading.
The Floyd-Mitchell-Chickasaw County Landfill requires a one hour notice
before delivery of any Special Waste, and that all Special Wastes arrive at the
Agency before 12:00 pm, unless approval for a later time is granted by the
Director. This notice and time of arrival will allow the landfill operator
adequate time to dig a hole and have the waste properly disposed of well before
the end of the day.
2.
Material preparation requirements prior to landfilling:
The Generator must take steps to minimize the dust that may be generated
during the unloading and landfilling of the waste.
If the waste should change in composition, it will be the Generator’s
responsibility to notify the Landfill Director and provide a new MSDS sheet or
laboratory analysis for the new waste. If
necessary, the Landfill Director will arrange for additional laboratory testing
of the waste prior to its delivery with all costs to be paid by the Generator.

generated as a result of vehicle spill or leaking equipment, (i.e. fertilizer,
anhydrous, pesticide, etc). Because
these are unknown situations and conditions and contaminates will vary, at this
time the following procedures will be required:
Scheduling
procedures: The generator must contact the Landfill Director, the IDNR
Central Office (Jim Thayer 515-281-3426), and the IDNR Field Office #2
(641-424-4073) to determine whether the soil can be accepted.
The generator must provide documentation that the waste is not a
hazardous waste as defined by IDNR and EPA.
. The
Floyd-Mitchell-Chickasaw County Landfill requires a one hour notice before
delivery of any Special Waste.
1.
If approved by IDNR, the Landfill Director will evaluate the
environmental and operational impact of the contaminated soil on the landfill.
If the Landfill Director determines that the contaminated soil can be
accepted, the generator will pre-arrange a delivery schedule.
Acceptance may be delayed if the weather prevents access to the
disposal/treatment area. The hauler must identify the load to the scale
operator prior to unloading.
2.
Material preparation requirements prior to landfilling:
The Generator will comply with all IDNR regulations related to the
clean-up of the contamination, including but not limited to notification and
testing requirements. The
Generator will provide adequate analysis and documentation depending upon the
type of contaminate involved.
All
contaminated soil must be free of absorbers, concrete, rocks, debris, metal,
etc. that might prevent the proper spreading and aerating of the soil as
required by the IDNR permit. All
soil must be free of liquids and must be able to past the paint filter test
(EPA Method 9095).
I.
Medical Waste
The
Floyd-Mitchell-Chickasaw Landfill will not accept any medical waste.
All medical wastes are to be taken by the Generator to an authorized and
permitted medical waste facility for treatment and disposal.
