HomeMy WebLinkAbout88-102WHEREAS, counties statewide face a serious problem
involving potential state pre--emption of critical local land use
decisions on the siting of hazardous waste facilities; and
WHEREAS, the intent of AB 2948 is for Sutte County to plan
to meet its own needs for hazardous waste management and to
participate in inter-county agreements where appropriate; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Health Services (DHS)
Guidelines for county hazardous waste management plans appear to go
beyond the intent of the Tanner statute (AB 2948, 1986) and would
prohibit Butte County from limiting the size or type of facilities
that can be sited; and
WHEREAS, in order to have an approved county hazardous
waste management plan Butte County may become vulnerable through the
appeals process by being forced to accept the siting of any size or
type of facility; and
WHEREAS, equity is based on managing the county's "fair
share" of hazardous wastes, either through local siting approvals or
through voluntary inter-county agreements; and
WHEREAS, Sutte County supports the use of voluntary inter-
county agreements to structure mutual land use siting commitments;
and
WHEREAS, the appropriate staff of Butte County have worked
in good faith to implement AB 2948, and now stand ready to work with
the CSAC/Tanner Task Force, as requested.
NOW, THEREFCRE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Butte County Board
of Supervisors support CSAC's efforts on behalf of counties to
address problems experienced by the counties in working with the DHS
and its interpretation of AB 2948.
