WHEREAS, the State of California authorized and encouraged Counties to
prepare Hazardous Waste Management Plans; and
WHEREAS, the State of California required the Department of Toxic Substances
Control (DTSC) to review and approve county hazardous waste management plans;
and
WHEREAS, the State of California required the DTSC to review and approve
resubmitted county hazardous waste management plans within 90 days of receipt of
revised plans; and
WHEREAS, a DTSC approved hazardous waste management plan provides for the
reduction and disposal of the State's hazardous waste, fair distribution of hazardous
waste facilities and attempts to retain local control of land use decisions; and
WHEREAS, lack of an approved hazardous waste management plan results in a
loss of local land use control and of proper management of hazardous wastes; and
WHEREAS, Counties and Cities, within the San Francisco Bay Area and the
Region 2 staff, as well as the central Sacramento office of the DTSC have worked
together for over five years to prepare approvable hazardous waste management
plans including mutually agreed time lines; and
WHEREAS, following resolution of all outstanding issues, the regional staff
forwarded to the central DTSC office the redrafted hazardous waste management
plans of the Bay Area counties for approval; and
WHEREAS, the central DTSC office refused to act on resubmitted plans,
notifying all six Bay Area Counties with unapproved and resubmitted hazardous
waste management plans, on September 16, 1992, that they would "no longer review
or take action to approve or disapprove county hazardous waste management plans";
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Campbell will contact the DTSC requesting immediate review and approval on
currently submitted hazardous waste management plans for Bay Area Counties and
action on any other hazardous waste management plans within 90 days of submittal;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Campbell will
support sponsors of legislation requiring 90 day review and action by the DTSC on
county hazardous waste management plans with a proviso that DTSC nonaction
results in automatic approval of county hazardous waste management plans.
