is COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NU ER:
FROM: Michael Multari, Community Development Director; BY: Glen Matteson, Assoc. Planner
SUBJECT: Countywide Hazardous Waste Management Plan
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Review the draft plan and send any comments to the County Waste Management
Commission. City staff thinks the plan is basically acceptable, but suggests some
clarifications.
DISCUSSION
State law requires the county and each city to plan for managing the hazardous waste
generated within the county now and in the future. The draft plan has been sent to the
council for study. Formal hearings for approval by the city will be scheduled for this
summer. Once the plan has been approved by a majority of the cities in the county and by
the state Department of Health Services, the city must incorporate relevant parts of the
plan by adopting its own consistent plan, a general plan element, or an ordinance
relating zoning and subdivision approvals to the approved county plan.
The plan includes information on the types and quantities of hazardous wastes produced
locally and current and proposed means of storage, transportation, treatment, and
disposal. The plans aims to, in order of priority, (1) reduce the amount and toxicity of
waste, (2) provide for environmentally safe and economical means of recycling or (3)
treatment, and (4) disposal of residuals that are not reused or further treated.
Staff Concerns: The plan has been reviewed by Planning Division and Fire Department
staff. City staff would prefer that the plan either not include maps of potential
hazardous-waste facility sites or that it include on the maps more specific description
concerning the types of facilities (production, treatment, storage/transfer, residual
disposal) that would or would not be appropriate in the designated areas. Also, staff
has several suggestions for making the report more clear, most of which are minor
technical and grammatical corrections. Staff will give these suggestions to county
staff.
Follow-uo Actions: If the plan is approved essentially in its present form, staff
foresees a need to review the list of uses in the Zoning Regulations to make sure likely
generators of hazardous waste will require use-permit approval and (2) to allow hazardous
waste transfer stations or treatment facilities in the M zone subject to approval of a
use permit.
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
The county is preparing an EIR on the plan, which should be available for council use
before acting on the plan. Staff foresees no significant environmental impacts from the
plan, which simply outlines strategies to deal with a continuing problem in the best ways
possible. One consequence of the pian, and of increased public concern on hazardous
waste regardless of the plan, will be greater city scrutiny of activities producing or
handling hazardous wastes.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING ACTION
This meeting is an opportunity for the council to become familiar with the plan and make
comments before being asked to approve it. gm2/cc-haz 1r
