REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Solid Waste Commission heard a report on the covered loads
program from Lieutenant Doug Sizemore of the County Sheriff ' s
Department at their September 21, 1988, meeting. it was reported
that last year when enforcement of the program began a volunteer
reserve force was used to cite violators. The program started
out strong, but slowed down due to the depletion of manpower
brought on by the current situation at the Concord Naval Weapons
Station. During the time when the program was occurring, a total
of 6 citations and 11 warnings were issued by the enforcement
officers. The Commission acknowledged the fact that the Sher-
iff ' s Department was operating on a priority basis, and deter-
mined that violators should be notified through the use of flyers
distributed at landfill site entrances by the landfill operators.

Health Services Department to again prepare flyers outlining the
mandatory covered load ordinance and the consequences of non-
compliance. They felt that these flyers should be prepared as
soon as possible and issued to violators as soon as possible.
The Solid waste Commission also recommended that the chair of the
Board sign a letter asking all cities in the County for assis-
tance in enforcing the covered load ordinance. The Commission
noted that the letter should stress the importance of the covered
load program in helping to reduce the amount of litter found
along roads leading to the landfills and throughout the rest of
the County.
