(a) scavenging shall be prohibited;
(b) salvaging of materials, such as metal, paper, glass and cardboard is permitted as an integral part of the operation, subject to conditions established by the EA, the local land use authority, or other approving agencies.
(c) salvaging activities shall be conducted in a planned and controlled manner and not interfere with other aspects of site operation and controlled to prevent health, safety, or nuisance problems. Activities shall be conducted so as not to interfere with expeditious entry and exit of vehicles delivering waste to the transfer or processing operation or facility. Salvaging activities conducted at a transfer/processing operation or facility, except for secondary material processing facilities and operations, shall be confined to specified, clearly identified areas of the operation or facility.
(d) storage of materials salvaged from solid wastes shall be ancillary to the activities of the operation or facility unless such storage is planned as an integral part of the operation, such as at a secondary material processing facility or operation. Materials salvaged on-site shall be stored away from other activity areas in specified, clearly identifiable areas as noted in the Facility Plan or Transfer/Processing Report. Storage of material salvaged at a secondary material processing facility or operation shall be separate from waste processing areas. At all facilities and operations, storage of salvaged materials shall be arranged to minimize risk of fire, health and safety hazard, vector harborage, or other hazard or nuisance, and limited to a specified volume and/or duration as described in the Enforcement Agency Notification, Facility Plan, or Transfer/Processing Report.
