RECOMMENDED ACTION!
Adopt Resolution No. 9 3 -1 0 requesting the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to 1
Proposition on the June, 1994 ballot which would ban incineration as an appropriate solid
management technology for San Diego County.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
When the County of San Diego acted to abandon the contract and permits for the waste-to-
incinerator at San Marcos landfill, it appeared to many that incineration of trash would no 101
considered for San Diego County. However, that may not be the case.
In August of 1989 the Board of Supervisors directed their staff to examine alternative
management technologies in more depth. Pursuant to the Board's direction, County staff has proc
with the process to examine alternative technologies. On August 12, 1992 the Board auth
distribution of an RFP which is intended to select a vendor to construct 200,500 or 1,000 tons L
waste processing/disposal projects serving the Sycamore and Otay landfill wastesheds. Prior to F
1992 County staff had evaluated qualifications of many vendors and recommended nine firms to
the RFP should be submitted. The technologies to be considered for construction are:
cornposting and several incineration technologies. The appropriate County staff reports are at
as Exhibit 2 for your review.
Although the County's efforts do not seem to involve the north county area, Mayor Lewis rt
concerned about the use of solid waste incineration as an appropriate technology for solid
management anywhere in San Diego County. From both a cost and clean air perspective, solid
incineration is not good for San Diego County.
This issue was recently discussed by the North County Solid Waste Coalition and the coalition mc
decided to ask their respective city councils to adopt resolutions requesting the Board of Supe
to place an item on the June, 1994 ballot which would have the effect of preventing the use c
waste incineration in San Diego County. Coalition members also voted to ask Mayor Le correspond with all the county mayors and request that their city councils also adopt a
resolution. Mayor Lewis has sent the attached letter (Exhibit 3) to each mayor in the county an
requests that the City Council consider adopting the attached resolution asking the Board of Supe:
to place the question of incineration on the June, 1994 ballot for voter consideration.
FISCAL IMPACX:
There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action.

construction of a solid waste incinerator at the San Marcos Landfill; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has directed staff to pursue
alternative technologies for solid waste handling and disposal; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors will be considering incineration
as an appropriate solid waste management technology for solid waste generated in
the Otay and Sycamore landfill wastesheds; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Diego, by a vote of the people, has
effectively banned incineration in the City of San Diego; and
WHEREAS, several other cities by resolution of their city councils have
opposed incineration of solid waste; and
I WHEREAS, cost and air pollution implications render solid waste
incineration as an inappropriate technology for San Diego County.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Carlsbad, California as follows:
The Board of Supervisors, County of San Diego, is requested to place
a proposition on the June, 1994 ballot which would ban solid waste incineration as

At that time your Board directed that the CAO work with priv industry and develop a Request for Qualifications for alternat
technology projects by private industry.
To date staff has procured engineering and legal support negotiations with the PIA and concurrently procured a consult to develop a Request for Qualifications for alternat technologies. Staff contracted with CalRecovery Syst
Incorporated, a California based waste management consultant,
develop an RFQ, and a draft RFP for alternative burn and non-k technologies. A draft RFP and a completed RFQ were submitted the consultant, to staff on October 8, 1991. In early Decem1 Purchasing and Contracting provided their review of and inpu'
the RFQ. The completed RFQ is attached.
Staff proposes a two step process to solicit proposals from pri industry. The first step will be to issue a Request
Qualifications (RFQ) to identify firms that have the experience financial capability to implement successful alternative tu
disposal projects. Staff proposes to present the short lis successful respondents to the Board in June, 1992. At that
a workshop will be held on the short listed technologie
directed by your Board.
The workshop format will pr~vide information and be a forur
local environmental groups and representatives of alterni technologies to discuss the potential use of various techno1

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO CLEAN AIR CHARTER AMENDMENT
Dear yF-7 T
When the County of San Diego acted to abandon the contract and permits for the waste-to-
energy incinerator at San Marcos landfill, it appeared to many that incineration of trash would no
1989, the Board of Supervisors directed their staff to examine alternative waste management
technologies in more depth. Pursuant to the Board’s direction, County staff has preceded with
the process to examine alternative technologies. On August 12, 1992, the Board authorized
distribution of an RFP which is intended to select a vendor to construct 200, 500 or 1,000 tons
per day waste processing/disposal projects serving the Sycamore and Otay landfill wastesheds.
Prior to August, 1992, County staff had evaluated qualifications of many vendors and
recommended nine firms to which the RFP should be submitted. The technologies to be
considered for construction are: MRF’s, cornposting and several incineration technologies. The
appropriate County staff reports are attached for your review.
Although the County’s efforts do not seem to involve the north county area, we remain
concerned about the use of solid waste incineration as an appropriate technology for solid waste
management anywhere in San Diego County. Both from a cost and clean air standpoint, solid
waste incineration is not good for San Diego County.
This issue was recently discussed by the North County Solid Waste Coalition and the Coalition
members determined ta ask their respective City Councils to adapt resolutions requesting the
Board of Supervisors to place an item on the June, 1994 ballot which would have the effect of
preventing the use of solid waste incineration in San Diego County. Coalition members also
voted to ask me to correspond with all the county mayors and request that their City Council’s
also adopt a similar resolution. A draft of a suggested resolution is attached for your
consideration.

Accordingly, I am requesting that you ask your City Council to adopt a resolution asking
the Board of Supervisors to place the question of incineration on the June, 1994 ballot for voter
consideration. When your City Council acts, please ask your City Clerk to send me a copy of
the resolution.
