SUBJECT: Waste Disposal Issues
In response to the request of the Board on March 26, 1985 ,
the County Administrator submitted for Board consideration this day
a proposed letter to be submitted to all agencies involved in the
disposition of the wastestream and operation and management of land-
fill sites . Questions to be asked of the agencies are as follows:
1 . Do you believe it is necessary for a public agency to
select a site for development of a landfill (s ) as an
alternative to the three privately proposed landfills?
2. Are you willing, and legally able , to commit your
wastestream to a publicly sponsored landfill if one is
developed?
3 . Would you be willing to commit your wastestream to a
public agency, who in turn would be responsible for
directing the waste to either a privately or publicly
sponsored resource recovery project , or to a publicly
owned landfill operated contractually by the private
sector?
14. For the landfill site selection process , would your
agency be willing to contribute funds such as on a per
capita basis , to expedite action?
Board members discussed the proposed questions and were in
agreement that question number 2 should be modified as follows:
2a . Are you now legally able to commit your wastestream to
a publicly sponsored landfill if one is developed , and
are you willing to do so?
2b . If you are not now able to commit your wastestream to
a publicly sponsored landfill , are you willing to ini-
tiate the required actions to make it possible in the
future?
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the proposed letter as
revised is APPROVED and that the County Administrator is AUTHORIZED
to transmit the letter of inquiry to all agencies as noted above .
