SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 2595 (Tanner)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECONIlEENDATION
Adopt a position of SUPPORT for AB 2595 by Assemblywoman Tanner
which would authorize a County to amend and resubmit its
Hazardous Waste; Management Plan if the Plan is originally
disapproved by the State Department of Health Services.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law the County had until September 1, 1989 to
submit its Hazardous Waste Management Plan to the State
Department of Health Services. The State has until February 28 ,
1990 to approvelor disapprove each county' s Plan. However, the
law is somewhat unclear regarding what happens if the State
disapproves a county' s Plan and the County is willing to amend
the Plan to respond to the State' s basis for disapproval of the
Plan. There isino provision in the current law which authorizes
a county to amend and resubmit its plan or which authorizes the
State Department of Health Services to then review and approve
the county' s Plan.
AB 2595 , as introduced, would clarify this problem with the
current law by clearly authorizing a county to amend and resubmit
its Plan and the State Department of Health Services to review
the Plan again and approve it. In view of the possibility that
the State will disapprove Contra Costa County' s Plan because of
its "fair share" language, it will probably be necessary for the
County to amend its Plan, obtain concurrence from a majority of
the cities and Iresubmit its Plan to the State. Passage of AB
2595 will be necessary in order for the State to approve this
County' s Plan after the February 28 , 1990 deadline and after the
Plan has once been disapproved. It is therefore, recommended
that the Board of Supervisors indicate its support for AB 2595 .
