25 5 Attachments 3, 4, and 5 were provided to the Working Group and relate to potential costs, use of federal grants and median household incomes. 3. COVERING OF WASTE ENTERING LANDFILL The landfill cu mcatly has a policy requiring the coveting of loads entering the facility. The current policy states that loads entering the landfill must be propedy secured. This policy is limited in its effectiveness. Enforcement is provided by the wci and 8 inspectors through vvamiags. The proposed policy is one which we could implement with minor modifications. We would suggest that the penalty(fine)would be that the hauler would be required to purchase a tarp,or be borrowed from our facility.The 1andmi would maintain as inventory of tarps in various sues and costs,as necessary. The policy should also apply to covering the im of frocks without tadgatie m: Because many of our customers are oar time users,fast-first offenders would be handled the same as regular customers. Customers without a tarp would be required to purchase oat or would not be allowed access to the landfill.This policy would covet all incoming waste,-sad a6 cemart would begin following a 30 day grace period. If the governing bodies aoxv.exceptions could be allowed for traaspaatation of materials such as appliances,when it is clear that such mat«ials could not escape firm the transporting vehicle. We also note that NC General statute Sec.20-116W provides: g) No vehicle shall be drim or moved on any highway unless such vehicle is so eonswicted or loaded as to prevent any of its load fiam dropping, rifling, leakitng, or otherwise escaping thcre&om,except that sand may be droppod for the purpose of securing traction,or water of other substaom may be sprinkled on a roadway in cleaning or maintaining such roadway. Trucks, trailers or other vehicles when loaded with rock, gravel, stone or other similar substances which could blow,leak,sag, or.drop shalt not be driven,or moved oar any highway unless the height of the load against ail f w walls does not extend above a hoaaontal lime six inches below their tops when loaded at the loading point,or if not so lot"unless the load. shall be merely secuted by tarpaulin or some other suitable covering, Of unless it is othetpvist constructed so-,as. to prevent any of its load from dropping, siting, Wig, blowing,ac otherwise escaping dmefiom. Enforce of this law could be by any law afforcement agency with jurisdiction over the area. 4. COVERING LOADS OF OUT-GOING MULCH Certainly,the policy z;ommeaded by the working Group is workable.
