WASTE PLANS; AND AUTHORIZING ~IE COUNTY TO PREPARE A PLAN FOR
f}~E CITY OF WINSLGW WITHIN ~]]E COUlVFf CO~PREHENSIVE WASTE
MANAG~4ENT PLAN.
WHEREAS, The Solid Waste Management - Recovery and Recycling Act,
(Chapter 70.95 RCW) governs the handling of solid waste in Washington State
and it assigns local government primary responsibility to prepare a solid
waste plan by June 7, 1989.
WHEREAS, The 1985 amendments to the State Hazardous Waste Management
Act (Chapter 70,105 RCW) requires each local government, or ccmbination of
contiguous local governments to prepare a local hazardous waste plan and
sut]nit letters of intent by Gctober 31, 1987, to complete local plans by
June 30, 1990.
~{EREAS, local government my choose to either (1) include a hazardous
waste elment in their solid waste plans, or (2) develop hazardous waste plans
separately frc~ their solid waste plans recognizing that if a county or city
chooses not to c~mbine the two plans, both plans should discuss the connection
between the plans.
WHEREAS, all local governments must prepare 20-year solid waste
management plans with the conditions that unless a city or town has its own
disposal site, it must cooperate with a county in the develoF~ent of a county
or regional plan. 1his is explained in ~e Solid Waste Management-Recovery
and Recycling Act.
Each City shall:
1. Prepare and deliver to the county auditor of the county, in which
it is located, its plans for its own solid waste management for
integration into the ccmprehensive county plan; or
2. Enter into an agreement with the county pursuant to which the city
shall participate in preparing a joint city-county plan for solid
waste management; or
3. Authorize the county to prepare a plan for the city's solid ~as~e
management for inclusion in the cc~prehensive county plan."
As stated in REW 70.95.130, "Any city preparing an independent plan shall
provide for disposal sites wholly within its jurisdiction."
Disposal site means the location where any final treatment, utilization,
processing, or deposition of solid waste occurs. (RCW 70.95.030)
WHEREAS, The Board of Kitsap County Ccr~issioners has established a
local regional Solid Waste Advisory Cum~ttee ~nich includes membership from
the (a) Incorporated cities, (b) Indian Tribes, (c) Solid Waste Industry,
(d) Industrial Section and the C~m~ssioners Districts.
M~/{EAS, Kitsap County receives a user fee from the operator of the
Olympic View and Hansville landfills for each cubic yard placed in the sites
and the fee is used for county wide solid waste needs. User fee is planned
to cover costs of preparing the Solid Waste Management Plan. Grant funds
are available for Hazardous Waste Planning and Zoning work on a priority
system a~ninistered by the DeparJlnent of Ecology. Local government may
provide the 25 percent local share wit/~ cash and/or direct contributed services.
WHEREAS, Chapter 70. 105 ~CW requires that each local government designate
land use zones in which hazardous waste treatment and storage facilities are
allc~ed as permitted uses. It is agreed that this work is properly in the domain
of each local government and is not included in the scope of this Resolution of
Concurrence.
WHEREAS, it is necessary for grant application purposes to designate
the responsible government, size of planning area and obtain resolutions of
concurrence with the planning process for all cities, towns, and/or counties.
WHEREAS, grants are awarded on a first ccre-first serve basis.
NOW THEREFORE, we resolve as follows:
1. The County should act as lead agency for a regional plan using
monies collected through the County wide user fee to pay for the
Solid Waste plan. The County should apply for a 75% grant from the
DOE for the Hazardous Waste Section of the plan. Local staff time
should be used for the 25% grant match.
2. The County is authorized to prepare a plan for the city of
Winslow for inclusion in the Comprehensive County Solid
Waste Management Plan. The Hazardous Waste Plan is to be a section
of the plan. It is understood that the work will be coordinated
through the regional Solid Waste Advisory C~Nnittee. Further that
the Department of Ecology will consider approval of the plan only after
all local governments in the planning area have adopted the pla~ by
resolution.
