Delivery of Acceptable Waste.
21 Acceptable Waste Delivered.

A. Peoria shall use its best efforts to ensure that all materials delivered to the Facility for
disposal shall constitute only Acceptable Waste. Glendale shall have the right to
refuse to accept any waste or load it suspects contains Unacceptable Waste for
disposal at the Facility. Peoria will be charged the fees established in Section 3.3
below if Glendale accepts waste for disposal.

B. Peoria residents will be charged the applicable rate or rates in Section 3.3 below for
disposal of wastes delivered in self-hauled loads to the Facility. All appliances
containing Freon will be assessed a separate fee to cover the cost the Facility incurs
for Freon removal. The Freon fee is subject to change at any time to reflect the
market cost of Freon removal.

on As provided in Section 3.3 below, Peoria residents will be assessed a Waste Tire
handling fee of $6.00 per tire in addition to the Gate Rate. The tires must be from
passenger vehicles or small non-commercial trucks and shall not contain tims. All
other Waste Tires, including those from off-road vehicles, will not be accepted.
Peoria residents will be limited to the delivery of five Waste Tires every 90 calendar
days.

D. Glendale may refuse to accept Hard to Handle Waste for disposal at the Facility if
such waste is of such a quantity or character that it requires special handling
procedures for disposal (Hard to Handle Waste). In the event Glendale identifies
waste as Hard to Handle Waste, it shall notify Peoria of its decision not to accept the
waste for disposal, or it will notify Peoria of any additional charges related to the
disposal of the waste ptior to accepting it for disposal.

E. Peoria and Glendale recognize that although Waste Tires constitute Unacceptable
Waste, Waste Tires may, on occasion, despite Peoria’s best efforts to segregate wastes,
be mixed with Acceptable Waste collected by Peoria and delivered to the Facility for
disposal. In such event, Waste Tires will be handled by the Facility and Peoria will be
charged an additional Tire Rate as provided in Section 3.3. However, should the
receipt and disposal of Waste Tires become a regular occurrence and unduly
burdensome on the Facility, Peoria will review its waste collection or recycling

2.2

2.3

2.4

procedures and attempt to eliminate Waste Tires from the materials it delivers to the
Facility. If Peotia’s review and any change in its waste handling or disposal procedures
do not resolve the mixed waste ptoblem, the Parties will meet and confer to develop
a strategy to address the problem. Although the Parties agree to meet and confer to
address this problem in good faith, nothing in this subsection prevents or interferes
with Glendale’s right to exetcise its rights under subsection 2.1(D) above and/or
Sections 4 and 7 herein.

Weighing of Acceptable Waste.

A. City of Peoria vehicles delivering Acceptable Waste shall have a vehicle identification
number permanently affixed and conspicuously displayed on the extetior of the
vehicle, which is readily visible by the weigh scale operators. Peoria shall provide a
cettified tare weight for each such identified vehicle. All incoming Acceptable Waste
shall be weighed and recorded. From time to time, the Parties may require
revalidation of the tare weight of any vehicle or re-weighing of unloaded trucks.
Peoria, at no extra cost, shall have the right to monitor the weighing of all vehicles
delivering Acceptable Waste to the Facility.

B. Glendale shall maintain the weighing devices at the Facility for the purpose of
weighing and recording the amount of Acceptable Waste delivered to the Facility.

mote often if necessary or if required by the Arizona Department of Weights and
Measures. Calibration records shall be available for inspection by Peoria.

Cc. In the event the weighing devices become temporarily inoperable due to testing or
malfunction, Glendale shall estimate the weight of Acceptable Waste delivered to the
Facility on the basis of truck volume and historical data obtained through operation
of the Facility. These estimates shall serve as official records for the duration of the
weighing device outage. Glendale shall use its best efforts to ensure that no such
period of inoperability exists for more than five consecutive days, and in the aggregate
not more than 15 days in any 30-day period.

D. To expedite turnaround time at the Facility, Peoria will use the automated, unattended
scale system (commonly referred to as the Radio Frequency ot RF Scale). Glendale
will provide Peoria with a summary of all transactions on a monthly basis as specified
in Section 3.1. Information on specific transactions or a daily report will be generated
upon request.

Vehicle Turnaround Time. Each vehicle delivering Acceptable Waste to the Facility shall
be able to enter the Facility, unload, and exit the Facility within a period of not longer than
twenty (20) minutes, with the understanding that bad weather conditions, such as heavy rain,
may cause delays beyond the control of the Facility. The average period of not longer than
twenty (20) minutes is based on the use of the unattended scale system and an average petiod
of not longer than eight (8) minutes to unload the Peoria vehicles. Glendale shall provide
expetienced staff at the Facility to direct incoming drivers.

Delivery Vehicles. Acceptable Waste may be delivered to the Facility in a variety of vehicles
including, but not limited to, side-loading collection trucks, reat-loading collection trucks,
front-loading collection trucks, tractor-trailer vehicles, open-top and closed roll-off containers,
compactors, and other open or closed vehicles. The Facility shall be equipped to receive all

for the handling of that Hot Load. Such costs may include but are not necessarily limited to,
costs telated to response by public safety personnel as well as cleanup and disposal costs related
to the material.

Discovery of Unacceptable Waste. If Glendale discovers Unacceptable Waste ot waste that
it suspects is Unacceptable Waste teceived from Peoria, Glendale shall:

A. Isolate, remove, and set aside that portion of the load which it determines is or may
be Unacceptable Waste.
B. Notify Peoria of the discovery of Unacceptable Waste within one hour of that

discovery, unless that discovery occurs after 4:00 p.m., in which event notification
shall be given by 9:00 a.m. of the next business day.

Cc. Gather, preserve, maintain, and make available to Peoria all evidence demonstrating
that the Unacceptable Waste was delivered by Peoria.

D. Test or arrange to have the suspected Unacceptable Waste tested to ascertain whether

Peotia of the existence of such waste; and (2) test the waste and examine all other
evidence gathered by Glendale within seventy-two (72) hours after the discovery of
such waste. For purposes of any inspection conducted, Peoria shall have access to
the Facility and/or any other site at which Unacceptable Waste is located, subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 below.

Rejection of Unacceptable Waste. Glendale shall have the right to reject Unacceptable
Waste after the load is unloaded at the Facility by giving notice to Peoria as set forth in
Subsection 2.6(B) above. Unacceptable Waste shall be deemed accepted if not rejected.

Disposal of Unacceptable Waste. If Unacceptable Waste is discovered at the Facility and
there is substantial proof that the Unacceptable Waste was delivered to the Facility by Peoria
under this Agreement, Peoria shall: (a) to the extent practicable, promptly remove and properly
dispose of the Unacceptable Waste; or (b) pay Glendale the actual cost for proper disposal of
the Unacceptable Waste. Peoria shall also pay or reimburse Glendale for the actual cost
incurred for the inspecting, testing, characterizing, and handling of the Unacceptable Waste.

Disposal of Waste Not Deemed Unacceptable. If, after inspecting and/or testing the
waste, Glendale discovers the waste was Acceptable Waste, or discovers that the Unacceptable
Waste was not delivered to the Facility by Peoria, Glendale shall dispose of that waste at no

‘additional cost to Peoria.

will provide a summaty of the previous month’s weight tickets for all waste received
each day at the Facility, including transaction number, truck number, date, time,
material type, net tons, and total fee. Because an unattended weight device will be
used to recotd the weight of each load delivered to the Facility for disposal by Peoria
vehicles, weight tickets will be provided to drivers only upon request.

Any weight that has been detetmined by estimate as described in Section 2.2(C) above
shall be noted on all records of such weight.

Peoria shall review each monthly report and/or billing statement and pay the fee
