The Plan represents the culmination of an extensive effort to meet the requirements of the California Solid Waste Management and Resource Recovery Act of 1972 (SB5). This legislation recognized that the pri- mary responsibility for solid waste management rests with local govern- ments and requires counties to prepare comprehensive and coordinated plans for the management of solid wastes between the years 1976-2000. This Plan has been developed in accordance with State regulations and guidelines and must now receive the approval of a majority of cities within the County having a majority of the population of the incorporated county areas before the Plan can be submitted to the State Solid Waste Management Board. The Plan for the San Diego region must, therefore, be approved through adoption of resolutions of approval by at least the City of San Diego and seven additional cities within the County. It is respectfully requested that a hearing be scheduled for the San Diego Regional Solid Waste Management Plan 1976-2000 at the earliest possible date and that the Carlsbad City Council adopt a resolution of approval conforming to the attached resolution format. exNta(T 1 ). Page 2 Attached is a summary of significant policy issues which may assist you in reviewing this Plan. When a hearing date for consideration of this Plan has been set or should you have any questions, please contact Clarence E. Kuafman at 565-5702. D. K.

Staff from cities throughout the County participated with County staff in the preparation and review of the draft. Comments regarding the inlTiai draft were forwarded to your office by a memo dated December 8, 1975 (copy attached). The plan being presented for approval at this time is essen- tially the same as we reviewed two years ago with some minor updating of the sum„mary pages. With the location of the shredder/transfer station in Carlsbad, my concern about local flexibility is resolved. While the entire document may be too thick for each individual Cohn- cilperson to review, the County has furnished a "Policy Issue Summary," which is attached. The entire document is available for review in the of- fice of the Public Works Administrator. I think the "Policy Issue Summary" statement is thorough and adequate- ly covers the program. I would offer only a few remarks concerning spe- cific items. Regarding No. 6, "Enforcement Programs recent City Council action has established, and the State Solid Waste Management Board has ac- cepted, the County Health Department as being the enforcement agency with regards to health -related aspects of solid waste management; the Utilities/ Maintenance Department as the enforcement agency with regard to non -health related aspects of solid waste management; the Public Works Administrator's office as the permit granting authority for solid waste facilities located within the City limits; and the City Council as the appeals board for solid waste matters within the City limits. We have received correspondence and a copy of the resolution adopted by the Solid Waste Management Board ac- cepting our designation of the above -named bodies (attached). Regarding Item 7 of the "Policy Issue Summary," the County is respon- sible for coordination of litter control activities; however, the City is still responsible for enforcement and, to this extent, the Utilities/ Maintenance Department is in the process of developing standards for levels of effort required to implement litter control programs in accordance with City Council approved standards. A report summarizing the Department's activities and findings will be prepared and forwarded to Council when the studies are concluded. E XH 113 tT a.�y- City Manager -2- November 28, 1977 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution i approving the "San Diego Regional Solid Waste Management Plan (1976-2000)." &ftlAA 13;4�- Ronald A. Beckman, P.E. Public Works Admir,;strator RAB:veb Attachments i-A -MEMORANDUM December 8, 1975 TO:, City Manager rAom: Public Works Administrator 5UI3J^E.CT: ' County Solid haste Management Plan I have reviewed the operative sections of the Plan and concur with its general goals and objectives. However, I think there i are a few questions that should be ans,�rered before we formally ad"opt a position with regards to the document. They are: In a -Financial and Organizational Goals statement, the goal of the project.is to equitably allocate costs of solid waste services. Their indication is tLat this is to be done by fully covering the costs of collection and disposal by user costs. While this is admirable in that it is perhaps the most directly related source of revenues, it could be perceived as an attempt to get around taxing limitations and reallocating general funds currently spent on this operation to other areas while re-establishing revenues for this operation from user service fees. Under the Collection Goals section, the report appears to support the mandatory collection of refuse, but perhaps the most worthwhile section in this Goals statement is for the preparation of a contin- gency plan of collection. If we are able to achieve this goal, it -may very well circumvent some of the significant problems that have been faced in Los Angeles County with regard to labor problems• associated with the collection of refuse. under the general area of Transportation Goals and Processing and Reuse Goals, the Plan appears to preclude the possibility of muni- cipally -owned facilities and, even if this were not true, the implementation of a site evaluation process could potentially overrule local procedures in selection of a landfill site and/or a reclamation site. Considering our location, our state o£ develop- ment-, the amount of open land and the transportation coats for trans- porting refuse to the sanitary landfills, we may not choose to foreclose on the option of the location of a municipally -owned reclamation facility, energy conservation facility and/or landfill site in this area. Under general statement, the goals and objectives of the report appear to•be very good and appear to be sincere effort ;moo achieve the most good for the populace as a whole. The program, however, goes a little deeper into those areas traditionally in the purview W. City Manager December 8, 1975 Page Two Of local government than we may choose to agree with and, therefore, any Adoption of this program in its final plan stages should include ' the possibility of our withdrawal or non -concurrence with specific sections of the program. Another option not specifically discussed in the preliminary program is the possibility that the County take over all aspects of refuse collection, disposal and financing,•allowing the Cities to withdraw from their traditional roles. r 0DRIMAL SIGNED S`f , t)?

I, Albert A.

CERTIFICATION Albert A. Marino Executive Officer Date NOV 0 41977 I .t POLICY ISSUE SUMMARY FOR THE SAN DIEGO REGIONAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN The significant elements of the San Diego Regional Solid Waste Management Plan include the following provisions: 1. Solid Waste Collection. Each city will retain control of solid waste collection within its own jurisdiction. The County will retain responsibility for collection management for the unincorporated areas of the County. 2. D�osal. The cities of San Diego and Oceanside will continue to operate disposal sites within their respective jurisdictions. The County of San Diego will be responsible for all solid waste disposal facilities within the County. Between the present and 1983, it is proposed that additional landfill capacity be obtained through the establishment of a north coastal landfill, replacements for the r' existing Bonsall, Oceanside, South Chollas, and North Miramar sites. 3. Resource Recovery. The County will emphasize a shift from sanitary landfilling, as the primary means of disposal, to implementation of major resource recovery systems. The County Department of Sanitation and Flood Control will assume responsibility for implementation and control of all resource recovery facilities. It will carry out the existing program for demonstration of a 200 ton -per -day facility in El Cajon, and will expand resource recovery efforts to include an 80(Tton-per-day processing/transfer facility in the north coastal area and a major resource recovery facility to serve the metropolitan area.if outside funding can be obtained. Also proposed are a facility to replace the Jamacha landfill and additional facilities as they become feasible. 4. Advisory Body. The County Board of Supervisors will consider the establishment of a solid waste advisory committee to advise the Board on solid waste regulatory standards, facility plans, financing, and other solid waste issues affecting the County. S. Financing. No change is proposed in the financing mechanisms for the solid wasto activities of incorporated cities. Si),zificant changes in County solid waste financing -is, however, proposed. All direct and indirect costs and minor improvements•of County Coastal Region. solid waste facilities will be supported by dumping fees. Purchases of real property and major capital improvements which add to property value will continue to be financed by general fund revenues. Interior Region solid waste disposal system costs will be supported by a combination of Land Use Fees and general tax revenues. 6. Enforcement Programs. The solid waste enforcement program presented in the Plan is consistent with the actions to};en by the County Board of Supervisors and City Councils pursuant to AB 2439. FXt-tr13?7 3 111 2 7, Litter Control. The County will assume responsibility for regional coordination of litter control activities. A Gjunty-appointed Regional Litter Coordinator will coordinate with area cities anti -litter efforts by local citizens and community organizations, encourage volunteer litter clean-up and anti -litter educational activities, seek Federal and State funding for litter control programs, and promote 8nforcement of litter laws. . 8. Waste Reduction. The County will establish programs for reducing solid waste generation"through public education and volunteer community action and by supporting legislation.aimed at -reducing the quantity of waste being generated. 11 2 3 4' 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 3.7 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Exh; b i I IA RESOLUTION N0. 5 271 A RESOLUTION OF it'E CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE "SAN DIEGO REGIONAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN (1976-2000)" WHEREAS, the Nejedly-Z'berg-Dills Solid Waste Management and Resource Recovery Act of 1972, hereinafter referred to as the "Act," requires each .ti county, in cooperation with affected local jurisdictions, to prepare a ,comprehensive, coordinated solid waste management plan; and WHEREAS, said Act also requires that such plan shall be consistent with state policy and any appropriate regional or sub -regional solid waste manage- ment plan; and WHEREAS, said Act also requires that the solid haste management plan shall be subject to the approval by a majority of the cities within the county which contain a majority of the population of the incorporated area of the county; and WHEREAS, the County of San Diego has prepared the "San Diego Regional Solid Waste Management Plan (1976-2000)" in conformance with the Act and is submitting said plan -to the City Council of the City of Carlsbad for approval; NOW, THEREFORE, RE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of I Carlsbad as follows: 1.
