APPENDIX B. Guidelines for Determining who Needs a Solid Waste Operator License
WHO DOES:
1. A person who performs any operation at a solid waste management facility requiring individual judgment which may directly affect the proper operation of the solid waste management facility. An Operator shall not be deemed to include an official solely exercising general administrative supervision.
WHO DOES NOT:
1. A person who does not perform any operation at a solid waste management facility requiring individual judgment which may directly affect the proper operation of the solid waste management facility. Exclusions under this provision apply to personnel who perform repetitive tasks, who do not exercise any decision making authority and who work in a confined area which allows for direct supervision by an appropriately licensed individual. Examples of personnel who may meet this provision are: (a) municipal solid waste incinerator floor workers who are engaged in the loading of solid waste into an incinerator unit and/or municipal solid waste incinerator floor workers who engage in the cleaning up of spilled waste debris from the floor of the building. These workers shall receive direct supervision from a licensed operator who is present and who is responsible for checking all gauges, monitoring the operations, and performing all pertinent responsibilities which directly affect the proper operation of the facility; (b) waste tire processing facility workers whose sole duty is the loading of waste tires and waste tire residuals on a conveyor belt and who are directly supervised by a licensed operator who makes all decisions and performs all duties which directly affect the proper operation of the facility; and (c) waste tire processing facility workers or other individuals who engage in loading of waste tires and/or waste tire residuals onto a truck or trailer at an abatement site for the purpose of transporting said waste to a permitted site.
18. Landfill gate keepers, office personnel, or clerks whose sole operational duty is limited to waste screening, as long as said personnel maintain a minimum of six (6) hours of training yearly in waste screening for the exclusion of hazardous and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastes with record of training hours to be maintained at the facility.
NOTE: This Guideline is provided as an aid in determining which solid waste management facility personnel meet the statutory definition of “operator” and may not directly address all duties areas and responsibilities of solid waste management facility personnel. However, additional information may be secured by contacting the Solid Waste Management Division, Licensing Program.
