LETTER TO CALIFORNIA WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD RE SOLID WASTE PLAN
REVISION
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
AUTHORIZE Chair to sign a letter to the California Waste Manage-
ment Board supporting Solid Waste Commission recommendation that
the Plan Revision proceed without naming future landfill sites
and requiring future landfill sites to be amended into the
Revised Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT - None
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The California Waste Management Board has scheduled an agenda
item at their March 26, 1987 meeting to discuss the status of the
Contra Costa County Solid Waste Management Plan Revision. The
staff of the California Waste Management Board is concerned that
the Plan Revision will not name specific landfill sites, and,
therefore, be incomplete. State regulations require that the
Plan Revision be completed within nine months. For Contra Costa
County, the nine-month period ends in June of this year. This
does not allow enough time for a decision to be made on future
landfill sites that can be included in the Plan. The California
Waste Management Board staff was unwilling to grant an extension
to allow for a decision to be made on landfill sites for inclu-
sion into the Plan. Therefore, the Plan Revision will not
identify future landfill sites, but will require any new sites to
be immediately amended into the newly revised Plan.
The Solid'Waste Commission has prepared a letter to the Califor-
nia Waste Management Board and intends to appear before the Waste
Management Board to explain the situation in Contra Costa County
and request the Waste Management Board to approve the approach to
complete the Plan Revision. It is appropriate for the Board of
Supervisors to state their support for the Solid Waste Commission
on this matter by a letter to the California Waste Management
Board. The Solid Waste Commission can distribute the letter at
the March 26 meeting of the California Waste Management Board.
