particularly failure to meet the mandated waste diversion goals,
can result in a $10, 000 per day fine being levied against local

The California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939) enacted in
1989 requires all California cities and counties to prepare both
individual jurisdictional plans and. a countywide plan for the
diversion and disposal of solid waste and household hazardous
waste. Under AB 939, the County is responsible for the preparation
of the plan and the Countywide Siting Element.

CONTRA COSTA INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE
RECOMMENDED CHANGES
TO
DRAFT COIWMP
1. Adopt the solid waste management goals currently listed as
those of the County General Plan as AB 939 Task Force goals, and
add language recommending that cities use these goals for solid
waste planning in their City General Plans. [Prior to AB 939
cities did not have any reason to include solid waste management
planning in their General Plans; however, as cities pursue
planning for material recovery, drop-off/buy centers, and so forth
City General Plans will need to cover solid waste management
planning matters. ]
a. Modify the approach/language of the entire Draft CoIWMP to
reflect its countywide nature.
2. Modify the Significant Issues section as follows--
a. change the discussion for administrative structure to provide
that the Public Managers will, within one year, assess and
recommend to the cities and the County an appropriate solid waste
management administrative structure from among three possible
structures--
+the Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority including
consideration of roles and relationships of subregional solid waste
authorities
+a formal coordinating body established from among subregional
solid waste authorities/entities
+a combination of the above
b. add a discussion of recent Court Decisions and State
Legislative actions [AB 2092, AB 2494, and AB 3001] which need
further consideration to determine the impacts on our local solid
waste management programs.
C. add, under discussion of the subregional facilities, two
related issues
1. a discussion of the need to further assess mixed waste
processing
2. a discussion of the need to monitor and assess the
continuing feasibility of curbside collection of recyclables
in relation to material recovery facility operations.
d. add a discussion of the need to develop a financing analysis
which provides for consistency and allows overall program cost
comparisons on a countywide basis
e. add within the financing analyis discussion language which
provides that increases to the Fees for implementation of AB 939
related-programs can be increased only for a specific jurisdiction
wanting the increase or will require the concurrence of the
jurisdictions participating in a multi-jurisdictional program for
which the increase is needed.
3. Add' language into the Siting Element which allows for the
export of solid waste and including a study of the economic
feasibility of export and its impact on any previous plans,
assurance that a receiving county' s CoIWMP and capacity can handle
the exported waste, and a requirement to ref lect such export in the
first SRRE and CoIWMP revision.
4. Include in the HHW Section [Part III] the agreement for the
Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program.
