FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJEC~ COUNTYWIDE INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 95-71
adopting the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan and
approving its submission to the California Integrated Waste
Management Board for consideration of final approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts associated with this project. The
Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan is a planning document
required by the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989
that incorporates the City of Tustin Source Reduction and Recycling
Element and the Household Hazardous Waste Element which are already
in effect.
BACKGROUND
The California Integrated Waste .Management Act of 1989 (AB 939)
requires that local jurisdictions reduce their waste going to
landfills through source reduction, recycling and composting by the
following increments: 25% by 1995 and 50% by Year 2000 (base year
1990). AB 939 established both objectives and planning
responsibilities for local jurisdictions in order to meet~these~
waste reduction goals. To facilitate an organized approach, each
county is required to adopt a comprehensive planning document
called the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIWMP).
The CIWMP does the following:
Identifies goals and policies and explains plan
administration.
Provides an overview of current solid waste management
practices.
City Council Report
Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan

Page 2
Summarizes the cities' elements of the countywide solid
waste management planning process to achieve the goals of
AB 939.
Identifies financing for the countywide solid waste
programs.
· Contains the mandated Siting Element and Summary Plan.
COMPONENTS OF COUNTYWIDE INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN:
·
In accordance with AB 939, each city in the County prepared a
Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE), Household
Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE) and a Non-Disposal Facility
Element (NDFE). The Tustin City Council approved the City's
SRRE and HHWE elements on December 2, 1991. The NDFE was
prepared separately and was adopted on November'7, 1994. The
Countywide Plan contains summaries of the thirty-one Orange
County Cities' SRRE, HHWE and NDFE.
·
The Siting Element prepared by the County identifies the
existing countywide disposal capacity and capacity
requirements for fifteen years into the future. It also sets
forth siting criteria and a selection process for new landfill
sites. There are no landfill-related sites reserved in the
Element because the County currently has fifteen years minimum
of landfill capacity. Adoption of the CIWMP does, however,
commit the County to use the siting criteria described in
detail in the Siting Element. City staff have previously
reviewed the Countywide Siting Element and offered no
substantive comments to the County for consideration.
·
The Summary Plan also prepared by the County summarizes the
significant waste management problems facing the County and.
provides an overview of the specific steps that will be taken
by local agencies to achieve the purposes of State law. The
Summary Plan does the following:
Contains a statement of the goals, objectives and
policies set forth by the countywide task force.
Profiles the demographics of the County and the
integrated waste management structure of the County.
Provides an overview of solid waste management practices
in the County.
City Council Report
Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan
September 5, 1995
Page 3
Summarizes the types of diversion programs selected in
each city's SRRE and HHWE.
· Lists cost estimates for Countywide programs.
In combination with other cities' SRRE and HHWE elements and the
County-prepared Siting Element and Summary Plan, these documents
comprise the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan, which was
adopted by the Orange County Board of Supervisors on June 20, 1995.-
A copy of the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan is filed
with the Community Development Department and is available for
public review.
State law requires each city in the County to approve or disapprove
the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan by resolution or
they are deemed approved. Once the majority of the cities within
the county which contain a majority of the population approve the
Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan, the County will submit
the document to the State for final approval which is expected to
occur in January of '1996.
CONCLUSION
Based on the above analysis, it is recommended that the City
Council adopt Resolution No. 95-71, adopting the Countywide
Integrated Waste Management Plan and approving its submission to
the California Integrated Waste Management Board for consideration
of final approval.
