NICHOLS Chief Administrative Officer and C erk of the Board By EXHIBIT S The Final Environmental Impact Report, as certified by the Board of Supervisors on November 22, 1988, is attached to the packet submitted to the Clerk of the Board. EXHIBIT C SUMMARY OF GOALS AND POLICIES GOAL - To promote hazardous waste management practices and technologies that will, in order of priority: - reduce the use of hazardous waste substances and the generation of hazardous waste at their source; - recover and recycle the remaining waste for reuse to the extent feasible; - treat those wastes not amenable to source reduction or recycling so that the environment and community health are not harmed by their ultimate release or disposal; - ensure the safe transportation and disposal of treated hazardous waste residuals in repositories made secure from liquids that might create a toxic leachate and contaminate groundwater. GOAL - To reduce the need for additional hazardous waste disposal sites. GOAL - To recognize its responsibility for permitting on-site facilities and siting off-site facilities capable of meeting the need of generators in the county. Butte County should seek agreements with other counties in the region to site regionally scaled facilities designed to meet the needs of generators from several counties. GOAL - To encourage active public involvement in planning for the management of hazardous wastes. GOAL - To promote regional cooperation between Butte County and its adjacent county neighbors in the siting of hazardous waste facilities and management of hazardous wastes. There are numerous policies which support the Goals identified in the Plan {Chapter 2, pages 12 thru 15). Tn order to achieve the defined goals and policies there are several actions which must occur. These are the implementation measures. PUBLIC EDUCATION AND PARTICIPATION - to review reports on implementation of the plan. - to support efforts to obtain funds for adequate staffing for management of Butte County's hazardous wastes. - to assist in implementation of the waste reduction program. - to consider new program directions. - to guide the small quantity generator and household waste education programs, particularly emphasizing recycling of waste oil. - to promote opportunities for development of regional cooperation in managing hazardous wastes. - to assist Butte County communities in establishing local environmental assessment committees for siting of proposed hazardous waste facilities, - to serve as a candidate pool for an Appeals Board should one be convened by the Governor pursuant to H&SC Section 25199.9(c). ONGOING DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS PROGRAM - to survey the several sources of hardcopy county and city level information on hazardous wastes including data files on the AB 2185/87 program, the underground storage tank program, Proposition 65 spills reports and other relevant local programs to identify data management and acquisition needs and shortcomings. - to establish liaison with other hazardous waste record- keeping agencies. Such agencies would include the Department of Health Services, the State Water Resources Control Board, the Central valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, and local sanitation agencies administering NPDES waste discharge permits. - to design and develop a computerized database management system that will serve local Plan implementation and Plan update needs and that will interface with other agency hazardous waste data systems, Such a system shall quantify waste reduction capabilities for each existing and potential major waste generator, - to review and revise local permit application forms and inspection forms to ensure that all necessary data will be collected. - to coordinate with agencies preparing engineering reports on contaminated sites to ensure that this category of hazardous wastes in included in the Plan database. WASTE REDUCTION IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM - There are three approaches the County can take to implement to goals; 1) it can provide information and educational resources to industry and the community at large on waste reduction; 2) it can provide technical assistance, a somewhat more expensive option; or 3) the county could adopt regulatory policies to ensure utilization of waste reduction strategies. EDUCATIQNAL PROGRAMS -- the Waste Reduction Subcommittee should contact trade associations to arrange for information dissemination regarding innovative waste reduction technologies and industrial successes. - the waste Reduction Subcommittee should strive to educate small quantity generators and work with them to use available options and technology for recycling. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE - The county should consider conducting a waste reduction audit program in coordination with generator inspections. -- the county should require all businesses to submit hazardous waste reduction plans. - the County and each city within the county shall develop a model conditional use permit which references the need for additional environmental review and risk assessment. - Waste reduction program; ask companies in each target group to voluntarily participate in local waste reduction program. provide waste reduction consultations during routine generator inspections. require each targeted generator to submit a written plan to the implementing agency. assist companies in overcoming financial/regulatory barriers to waste reduction. develop an awards program to recognize an industry achieving waste reduction. propose needed legislation and local ordinances to promote, not impede, waste reduction efforts. develop interagency relations that will ensure that new companies utilize the best available technologies to reduce the amount of hazardous wastes generated and prevent waste media transfer. establish information exchange programs to share successful waste reduction technologies with other companies and staff inspectors. carry out field audits of a limited number of selected generators. prepare detailed and specific recommendations in response to the findings of the field audits. results of field audits and subsequent recommendations should be published through news media, letters and seminars. technical assistance should be provided to waste generators to teach them how to do self audits. STTTNG TMPLEMENTATTON - the County is responsible for processing all siting requests, including use permit processing and environmental review. - the Board of Supervisors is responsible for appointing a Local Assessment Committee (LAC) that is responsible for negotiating terms for project approval. TRANSPORTATION Butte County should designate a system of preferred transportation routes. - Transportation access should be included as an evaluation criterion for the siting of hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities in Butte County. - The county should evaluate the potential for rail transportation of hazardous wastes. FUNDING - Consider provisions authorizing a city or county in which there is located an off-site multi-user hazardous waste facility to impose a tax for general purposes, or a user fee up to an amount equal to 10~ of the facility's annual gross receipts for hazardous waste treated, stored, or disposed of at that facility. - Consider requiring proponents of hazardous waste facility projects to pay a fee which would cover the costs of notification requirements associated with the issuance of a Notice of Intent to apply for a hazardous waste facility land use permit. - Consider requiring proponents of hazardous waste facility projects to pay a fee far the services of an independent consultant to assist the Local Assessment Committee in reviewing the proposed project and in negotiating terms and conditions with the project applicant. This is in addition to CEQA expenses. ~TAFFTNC; - Consider making available funding from county resources to allow for an additional staff person to assist in Plan implementation. - Co-ordinate hazardous materials and waste management programs between the Environmental xealth and Planning Department. SMALL QUANTITY GENERATORS - Consider signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the State Department of Health Services to conduct generator inspections. - Consider providing inspections and consultations by targeting the largest SQG industrial groups in the county as identified in the plan. Survey SQG's in order quantity of hazardous waste management practic The county Agricultural agriculture to determine farms. to determine the verifiable wastes generated and current es . Commissioner should work with amounts of wastes generated by HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM - Siting of a small-scale collection recycling and transfer station. - Develop and administer a public education campaign. - Prepare notification inserts far households for inclusion in garbage bills regarding the prohibition of disposing of hazardous wastes in the Neal Road landfill. CONTAMINATED SITES - Identify a centralized location for maintenance of contaminated site records, including review and update. OTHER PROGRAMS - Develop a regulatory program to ensure the proper management of infectious wastes. - Bring the above-ground storage program into compliance with the City of Chico and Oroville, utilizing information collected from the 2185/2187 program. - Initiate a generator inspection program. INTER-JURISDICTIONAL AGREEMENT NEGOTIATIONS - Enter into discussions with adjacent counties for the purpose of negotiating inter-jurisdictional agreements.
