Resolution 12204CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO 12204
APPROVING THE HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING
INTERJURISDICTIONAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN MEMBER COUNTIES OF
THE SAN FRANCISCO REGIONAL HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
CAPACITY ALLOCATION COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, the State of California authorized Counties to
prepare Hazardous Waste Management Plans (Plans); and
WHEREAS, the nine San Francisco Bay Area counties (member
counties) have executed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to
create a Regional Hazardous Waste Management Capacity Allocation
Committee (Committee); and
WHEREAS, the member counties accepted responsibility for
planning for the proper management of hazardous waste generated
within each of their jurisdictions according to the Fair Share
Principle; and
WHEREAS, the Committee, its Technical Advisory Sub-committee, 2T 0
and county staff have worked for over one year on developing the
recommendations contained therein; and
WHEREAS, the Committee's highest priorities are pollution O 00
prevention and hazardous waste minimization as evidenced by the
0
pollution prevention programs and activities of member local
governments. The Committee endorses reduction of hazardous waste
at the source rather than managing it after its generation through
implementation of the following hazardous waste management
hierarchy: 1) source .reduction; 2) recycling and 3) waste
treatment; and
WHEREAS, the Committee has developed a method to implement the
allocation of responsibility for providing hazardous waste
management capacity among the member counties based upon the Fair
Share principle as set forth in the attached summary; and
WHEREAS, the Committee has also requested that every
jurisdiction within the member counties recognize and approve the
allocation formula contained in the Fair Share principle;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Alameda recognizes and approves the Interjurisdictional
Agreement between member counties of the San Francisco Regional
Hazardous Waste Management Committee and the capacity allocation
formula as developed in the Fair Share principle that is contained
therein.
SUMMARY
The Hazardous Waste Management Capacity Allocation Committee was created to
develop a regional approach for providing hazardous waste management facility capacity
in the Bay Area. As part of that effort, the committee has developed a Capacity
Allocation Plan for providing the capacity necessary to manage hazardous waste in the
region. A fair share method for providing this capacity allocates responsibility within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the member counties. In order to implement this Capacity
Allocation Plan, the Committee has collected the latest available data on generation of
off -site managed hazardous wastes and hazardous waste management capacity within the
nine- county Bay Area region. The Report presents the data, and explains the capacity
allocation plan using the new data.
Since a major objective of this planning effort is to estimate the need for future off-site
hazardous waste management facilities, a summary outcome of this needs determination
is illustrated in Figure I -1 by county and Figure I -2 by treatment method. The region's
off -site hazardous waste management capacity is expected to total just over 300,000 tons
annually by the year 2000 based on existing facilities only.. The region's projected
capacity requirement is about 495,000 tons per year in 2000. As a region it is estimated
that the nine counties will have an overall capacity deficit of about 190,000 tons in 2000
if existing capacity remains operable and no new capacity is added. Figure I -1 and 1 -2
display both existing and proposed capacity.
The. Capacity Allocation Plan distributes the responsibility for filling the regional
capacity deficit gap among the participating counties based upon their contribution to the
deficit. Those counties contributing to the capacity deficit are assigned responsibility for
specific treatment method groupings. Each member county is being requested to provide
siting opportunities, consistent with their own County Hazardous Waste Management
Plan, for treatment or disposal capacity as set forth in the Report. The outcome of this
process allocates responsibility in the following manner:
Santa Clara County Residuals Repository Capacity
Contra Costa County Incineration Capacity
Sonoma County Stabilization Capacity
Solana County Aqueous Metals Treatment Capacity
Alameda County Other Recycling Capacity
Napa County Other Recycling Capacity
Marin County Other Recycling Capacity
San Mateo and San Francisco Counties* No allocation
*San Mateo and San Francisco have met their fair share responsibility pursuant to the
criteria set forth in. the Report.
The Report explains the methodology used by the Committee to reach their
recommendation.
