FROM: Harvey E. Bragdon, Vitra
Director of Community Development Costa
DATE: October 6, 1988 County
SUBJECT: State Health Department Delay in Submitting � ��
Comments on the County Hazardous Waste
Management Plan
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the chair to sign a letter to the director of the State
Department of Health Services, expressing concern about the
State' s three-month delay in submitting comments on the County' s
draft Hazardous Waste Management Plan, and requesting the direc-
tor to take action necessary to extend the County' s deadline for
submitting the final plan, as recommended by the Hazardous
Materials Commission.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
State law establishes a specific timetable under which the County,
Hazardous Waste Management Plan must be prepared. The State
Department of Health Services was to have submitted their com-
ments to the County on the draft plan by June 30, 1988. Those
comments were received in excess of three months beyond the
deadline specified by State law. Because of this delay, our
County is unable to meet the schedule established by State law.
At the September 28, 1988 , meeting of the Hazardous Materials
Commission, the Commission expressed deep concern over the State
Health Department' s delay in providing comments to our County.
The Commission, by consensus, agreed to recommend to the Board of
Supervisors that a letter be sent to the director of the State
Health Department expressing our County' s position on this issue.
This, letter expresses our concern that these types of delays
hinder our County' s ability to effectively plan for the manage-
ment of hazardous waste. The director of the State Department of
Health Services is asked to undertake legislative actions neces-
sary to extend the deadline when the County' s final plan must be
submitted to the State Health Department commensurate with their
delay, and to ensure that further reviews are completed in the
timely manner prescribed by state law.
