SUBJECT: COVERING LOADS AT LANDFILL SITES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Accept report from CAO and direct staff of Health Services, Community
Development and Sheriff ' s Department to commence action on program for
enforcement of existing regulations requiring loads arriving at sanitary
landfills (and future transfer stations) to be covered.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Health Services Department costs of $1,000 for preparing a flyer outlining
the requirements of the County Ordinance Code requiring loads to be covered
arriving at landfills.
The Sheriff ' s Departments will increase efforts of enforcement on uncovered
loads as a matter of their normal operations. They will absorb anticipated
costs out of their current years ' budget. Should costs rise to
unacceptable levels, the department will present a request for additional
funding.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND
On March 24th, the Solid Waste Commission presented to the Board a program,
it endorsed as a means of reducing litter on access routes to landfills
(and future transfer stations) . Those major points of the program were:
1. The Health Services Department would prepare a flyer outlining the
requirements of the County Ordinance Code requiring loads to be
covered arriving at landfills.
2. Landfill operators would distribute these flyers and make special
efforts to notify continued abusers of the regulations.
3 . The Sheriff ' s Department would increase enforcement of the County
Ordinance Code regulations at landfills.
4. The Community Development Department and the Department of Health
Services would issue a Press Release about the Code regulations, the
increased enforcement, and ways to comply with the regulations.
5. Have the Solid Waste Commission review the program after one year of
operation.
