SUBJECT; Resolution Approving the Los Angeles County Solid Waste
Management Plan ~ ~ f~''~
Introduction
This report transmits a proposed resolution approving the Los Angeles County
Solid Waste Management Plan and summarizes the main features of that plan.
Background
In 1972 the State of California enacted into law the Nejedly-Z'berg-Dills Solid
Waste Management and Resource Recovery Act which created a State Solid
Waste Management Board and an Advisory Council. The Act required that each:
county in cooperation with affected local jurisdictions prepare a comprehensive
coordinated Solid Waste Managemen*_ Plan to be submitted to the State Solid
Waste Management Board by January 1, 1976. The Los Angeles County Board
of Supervisors in October 1973 adopted a, resolution accepting responsibility for
the preparation of the County Solid Waste Management Plan and appointed the
County Engineer as the Project Director responsible for the plan preparation.
To assure participation and cooperation of the many public agencies and interested
business and civic groups in the development of the plan,~the County created the
.Los Angeles County Solid Waste Management Committee which included an
Advisory Council, an Executive Council, and staff. The plan through consideration

TO: Mayor and Council -2- March 12, 1976
to local solid waste problems. to the short, medium and long-term, 1980, 1990
and 2000 respectively.
League of California Cities Involvement in Plan Preparation
The Los Angeles County Division of the League of California Cities had previously -
asked member cities to defer from any action on the plan until the division had
had an opportunity to review the plan. After examination of the preliminary
County plan the Solid Waste Management Plan Review Committee supported its
findings and recommendations, but the Committee noted two major areas of
concern which it felt should be included in the final document.. These concerns
related to:
i. The lack of emphasis placed on promoting innovations in resource
recovery and. source reduction, and
2. The proposed make-up of the County Solid Waste Management
Committee not providing equitable involvement on behalf of
cities and a proper mix between technical, administrative and
elected persons.
As reported in the attached communication from the President of the Los Angeles
County Division, the final plan now includes the two provisions mentioned above
and the Division Board of Directors has endorsed the Environmental Quality
Committee's recommendation that the Division support the adoption of the
report by member cities throughout the County.
Requirements for Plan Adoption
State law (Section 17152, California Administrative Code} requires that cities
approve or disapprove the plan with 60 days of receipt of the County plan
by resolution of the legislative body.

Major Plan Features
Attached is a copy of the Summary Analysis of Plan Review Input and Major
Plan. Features of the Los Angeles County Solid Waste Management Plan.
Also attached are narrative descriptions of the following items requiring city
concurrence.
1. Plan objectives.
2. The method and organization for implementation of programs,
3. The procedures for financing the recommended Solid Waste
Management programs..
4. The roles assigned to the cities in implementing the plan.
Alternative s
1. The City could choose to take no action on: the proposed Los
Angeles County Solid Waste Management Plan. However,
Section 17152 of the California Administrative Code provides
only for approval or disapproval. It does not provide for a
"no action" alternative.
2. The City could disapprove the proposed final plan; however,
the state law provides that the proposed plan shall be subject
to the approval by a majority of the cities with the County
which contain a majority of the population of the incorporated
area of the County prior to its submittal to the State Solid
Waste Management Board. Therefore, disapproval may or
may not postpone the apparent inevitable approval of the plan
by other cities in the County especially in light of the endorse-
ment of the Los Angeles Division of the League of California
Cities.
3. The City can adopt a resolution concurring in the County
Solid Waste Management Plan.
To: Mayor and Council -4- March 12, 1976
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution concurring
in the Los Angeles County Solid Waste Management Plan.

SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF PLAN REVIEW INPUT
AND MAJOR PLAN FEATURES
ANALYSIS OF INPUT'
As the result of the Pian review, the most frequent comment made which
alleged deficiencies, pertained to three issues: (1) The lack of
specific planned alternatives to landfill disposal, particularly resource
recovery systems; (2) The absence of specific measures to reduce. waste
generation at the source; and (3) The need to revise the membership of
the interim plan implementing. committee.
Resource Recovery
With regard to resource recovery as an alternative to landfill disposal
many experimental and demonstration processes were investigated-during
the Plan preparation. The finding of the CoSWMP staff is that at the
present time there is no resource recovery system., except methane. gas
recovery from landfills, which is proven to be both economically feasible
and environmentally acceptable from an air quality standpoint for this
area. This finding has been concurred in by the Executive Council.
However, it is recognized that mahy inroads are being made in this field
and, given appropriate technological advances and changes in the economic
aspects resulting from higher energy costs, less expensive materials
sorting techniques and longer haul to landfills, etc., the feasibility
of establishing resource recovery systems could change rapidly: Therefore,
the County Plan calls for continued monitoring and evaluation of resource
recovery systems as they continue to develop and promotes appropriate
research and demonstration projects to insure that this method of waste
utilization will be implemented to the fullest extent feasible. The
State Solid Waste Management Board is presently conducting a comprehensive
study of the feasibility of implementing a large-scale resource recovery
facility in Southern California. The study will assess equipment and
system technology, identify products which could be recovered in this
geographic area, determine market potential, and evaluate the environ-
mental factors involved. This will provide guidelines which are needed
for analysis of prospective resource recovery facilities for this
metropolitan area.
Source Reduction
The Plan recognizes that the solution to our waste disposal problem lies
not only in providing for additional landfill disposal sites or promoting
resource recovery activities, but deliberate steps must also be taken
toward reducing the amount of solid waste which is being generated. The
County Plan is directed to identifying possible means whereby the
amount of solid waste might be reduced. These efforts will include:
(1) An educational program directed at the consumer to persuade him to
4. The landfill methane gas recovery programs will be expanded
beginning in Fiscal Year 1976-77.
5. A system of transfer stations is planned which will accomplish
disposal of wastes in the most economical manner and will
provide for potential resource recovery operations.
6. Hazardous waste studies will be conducted to determine the
possibility for volume reduction and treatment at the source,
and for alternatives to landfill disposal. Meanwhile, the
Plan. recommends expanded. and new landfills suitable for hazardous
waste disposal.
7. An aggressive litter and indiscriminate dumping control program
is established.
8. An information and education program on solid waste management,
emphasizing source reduction,. resource recovery and litter
control is planned to keep industry and the public informed on
these matters.
9. An interim County Solid Waste Management Committee is established
under the Department of County Engineer to advise and assist
in implementing the initial phases of the Plan.
PLAN ATTRIBUTES REQUIRING CONCURRENCE
The following information is furnished regarding where the specific
items requiring city concurrence are addressed ih the Plan:
1. The Flan objectives are summarized in Chapter III on pages 10
and 11. More detailed objectives of particular aspects of
solid waste management are listed on pages 44, 67, 121, 123,
124, 152 and 15.
2. The method and organization for implementation of programs are
described on pages 197, 198 and 199.
3. The procedures for financing the recommended solid waste
management programs are discussed in Chapter XII on pages 207
to 211 and summarized on page 212.
4. The roles assigned to the cities in implementing this Plan are
identified in general on pages S through 9 and on pages 201
through 206.

Dear Mayor Trives:
APPROVAL OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Copies of the Preliminary Los Angeles County Solid Waste Management Plan
(CoSWMP) were. transmitted to your city by letter dated July 29, 1975,
for review and comment.. In addition, public hearings were held during
the month of August to receive input on the Plan and its draft
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Comments received on the Preliminary
Plan and draft EIR have been evaluated and responses formulated by the
CoSWMP planning staff. Changes which were considered appropriate have
been incorporated into the Plan or are contained in Supplemental. No. 1
thereto. The County Board of Supervisors has approved the proposed final
Plan, with .Supplemental No. 1, and the final EIR.
We are pleased to submit the proposed final County Solid Waste Management
Plan with Supplemental No. I for approval by your city pursuant to
Section 6b780 of the Government Code,. State of California. A copy of
the final EIR is also enclosed-for your information. You may recall
that our original planning schedule called for submittal of the proposed
final Plan"to the cities in October 1975, for approval. Because of a
number of important concerns expressed by the League of California
Cities and recent. developments pertaining to sewage sludge disposal
affecting the City of Los Angeles, which necessitated a series of
meetings to reach a satisfactory resolution,. the deadline date of
January 1, 1976, for submitting the Plan to the State Solid Waste
Management Board cannot. be met. However, your City's early approval is
solicited in order that the final Plan .may be submitted to the State
Board at the earliest. possible date.
Your attention is invited to Section 17152 of the California Administrative
Code which provides that cities must either approve or disapprove the
Plan within 60 calendar days of its receipt. The above-cited regulation
also prescribes certain elements which must be contained in the approving
resolution. For your convenience, a copy of said Section 17152, as

Dear Mayor & Council Members:
In November of last year, on behalf of the Division, I
wrote and asked that you not take action on the proposed
County Solid Waste Management Plan until the Division
had completed its review and concluded negotiations
with the County on the matter. These efforts have now
ended, and on February 5, 1976, the Division Board of
Directors adopted the Environmental Quality Cormittee's
recommendation that the Division support the adoption
of the report by member cities throughout the County.
The County has responded favorably to our concerns,.
and the plan reflects substantial Division input.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to contact either me or the Los Angeles Office
of the League.

BOARD Of DIRECTORSr RECOMMENDATION ON
COUNTY SOLID ~~ASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
76-42
The Los Angeles County Division Board of Directors on February 5,
1976, approved the recommendation of the Environmental Quality
Committee:
that the Los Angeles County Division Board of Directors
support the adoption of the County Solid Waste Management
Plan by the member cities throughout the County.
The Los Angeles Division had asked member cities to defer from
any action until the Division had had an opportunity to-act. After
examination of the preliminary County P7 an, the Solid Waste Manage-
ment PTan Review Committee supported its findings and recomrnenda-
tions , but the Committee noted two major areas of concern which
it felt should be included in the final document. These concerns
related toc
1. the lack of emphasis placed on promoting innovations
in resource recovery and source reduction, and
2. the proposed makeup of the County Solid Waste Management
Committee not providing equitable involvement on behalf
of cities and a proper mix between technical, administrative,
and elective persons.
After expression of our basic concerns to the County Solid Waste
Management Executive Countil and subsequent discussion, the final

draft of the County Plan now includes provisions to emphasize the need
for creative and innovative methods of source reduction and resource
recovery. Also included in the revised P1 an is a proposal to establish
a seventeen-member interim implementing committee which is reflective of
inter-jurisdictional involvement in solid. waste management and which
reflects the major role cities play in solid waste management.
State Law (Section 17152, Galif. Admin. Code) requires that cities approve
or disapprove the plan within 60 days of receipt of the County Plan. The
above-cited regulation also presecribes certain elements which must be con-
tained in the approving resolution. The County has forwarded sample
resolutions for your use.
The Los Angeles County Division asks that all cities within Los Angeles
County submit resolutions of approval to Mr. Charles Brisley, Division
Engineer, Department of County Engineer, 108 West Second Street, Los Angeles,
CA 90012.
CHAPTER ill
08JECTIVES AND POLICIES
OBJECTIVES
The objectives were developed after careful
consideration df the diverse organization of solid
waste management in Los Angeles County and the
problems which should be solved. The intention has
been to ,develop practical objectives which can be

POLICIES STATEMENT
The management of solid waste in Los Angeles
County shall continue to be handled by both the
public and private sectors. Where private enterprise.
can provide economical, convenient, and dependable
solid waste management services within the
framework of good health .practices. and
environmental protection, they shall be encouraged
to do so. Local governments shall have the primary
responsibility for determining the method and
adequacy of local collection services. The plan
implementation organization will bring deficiencies in
solid waste management to the attention of the
appropriate government or private operator for
correction.
It shall be policy to plan for the future, allowing a
degree of flexibility to incorporate advanced
technology as it becomes feasible. The Plan
implementing organization will promote research and
develop programs or pilot projects to test the
applicability of such technology to local conditions.
Solid- waste recovery and reuse shall be promoted
when environmental safeguards and other factors
warrant. A11 feasible methods will be used to reduce
the generation of waste. Means of extracting energy
from waste materials shall be encouraged:
Adoption of minimum standards which encourage the
use of The best technology available for storage,
collection, and disposal of solid wastes especially as
they pertain to the handling and disposal of
hazardous wastes shall he promoted.

department, would require additional expenditures
which cannot be justifiedat this time.
CONCLUSIONS
Based. on the various factors reviewed during the
analysis, there is no convincing evidence, for
immediate need to form a single agency with
countywide authority. During this time of austerity,
another governmental entity would not be welcomed
by most taxpayers and elected officials. The existing ~
system is working well, and proposed action programs
would be implemented by close cooperation of the
existing local jurisdictions and private enterprise.
In view of the foregoing, it is proposed that the
County Solid Waste Management Plan be
administered by an interim organization until such
time as there is justification for a countywide
authority; or until a countywide organization is
mandated by State taw.
RECOMMENDATION
The recommendation is that a County Solid Waste
Management Committee be formed by County
ordinance as an interim organization to implement
the County Solid Waste Management Plan. Such an
organization can proceed with the action programs
without delay, utilizing existing personnel.
THE COUNTY SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
An interpretation of the law by theCounty Counsel
indicates that a County department head or official
must be held responsible for administering the Plan
until a countywide authority informed:
The proposed interim organization (Figure XII-1 },
with representation of cities and public and private
interests, will. be responsible for carrying out the
programs of the Plan and assisting the Qfficial in
administering the Plan. Appointed. members should
be knowledgeable in one or more aspects pf solid
waste management;. or such ~ related matters as
environmental quality, resource or energy
conservation, and land use.
The proposed organization can be implemented by
County ordinance in a minimum amount of time. The
Committee will require a limited expenditure of
funds and use available manpower. Local authority
would still exist for policy, budgeting, planning, and
for the adoption and enforcement of ordinances and.
standards. The Cgmmittee will not have the power to
require enforcement but will determine whether or
not there is compliance with the Ptan.
COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
The Committee shall consist of seventeen (17) voting
members, all of whom shall be residents of the
County. Appointive members may be elected or
appointed officials or be from the public at large.

CHAPTER II
SUMMARY OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
50LID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
SYNOPSIS
The County Solid Waste Management Plan has keen
prepared in response to the specific guidelines
mandated under law by the State Solid Waste
Management Board (Government Code, 66783). The
Plan is a series of action programs with assigned
responsibilities and an implementation scfiedule far
the management of solid wastes in Los Angeles
County for- the short-term (1980), medium-term
(19901 and the long-term (2000). For each area of
concern, the Plan defines existing conditions, presents
possible solutions and recommends policy statements
and measures to achieve objectives. The Plan also
predicts future conditions, identifies potential
problems and establishes an organizational structure
to update, administer, and implement the Plan.. The
implementing organization is alsa responsible for
keeping abreast of new technology and encouraging
research into improved methods of solid waste
management.
This Chapter briefly summarizes continuing activities
and tfie various programs and actions that will be
accomplished. by 1980. More detailed information
and discussion of action programs for the mid- and-
lohg-terms wilt be found in the other chapters.
OBJECTIVES QF THE PLAN
waste technology and methods. Promote research,
development, demonstration and application of new
methods and processes,
F. Provide an information and education program.
POl_!GY STATEMENT
The management of solid waste in Los Angeles
County shall continue to be handled by both the
public and private sectors. Where private enterprise
can provide economical, convenient, and dependable
solid waste .management services within the
framework of good health practices and
environmental protection, they shall he encouraged
to do so. Local governments shall have the primary
responsibility for determining the method and
adequacy of local collection services.
It shall be the policy to plan for the future, allowing a
degree of flexibility to incorporate advanced
technology as it becomes feasible. Solid waste
recovery and reuse shall be promoted when
environmental safeguards and other factors warrant:
Adoption of minimum standards which encourage the
use of the best technology available. for. storage,
collection, and disposal of hazardous wastes shall be
promoted.
The overall objectives of the County Solid Waste
Management Plan are as follows:
A. Provide the public (residential, commercial,
industrial, agricultural) with adequate, sanitary, safe,
convenient and economical solid waste collection and
disposal services.
B. Promote the conservation of raw material, land
and energy by encouraging a reduction in the
generation of solid wastes.
C. Develop and promote programs for recycling and
reuse of waste material and. the production of energy
from waste.
D. Provide for adequate long-range and short-range
planning, financing and administration, of solid waste
management systems.
E. Provide for good solid waste management
practice by encouraging utilization of proven solid
The County shall cooperate with private enterprise,
other. counties, local jurisdictio{rs, SCAG, and the
State and Federal governments insolving disposal
problems which are regional in riature.
tt shall further be County policy to inform the public
about plans and efforts in all fields of solid waste
management and to invite their participation and
support
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
WASTE PRODUCTION RECOMMENDED
INFORMATION PROGRAM
The volume and composition of wastes produced is
an important factor in solid waste management.
Therefore, an essential element of good management
is the continuous collection of adequate, accurate
waste generation data. The following actions are
recommended.
5
A. Establish a Solid Waste Management Information
Program.
B. Establish an advisory section within the
implementing organization to monitor new
developments relating to the reduction of wastes antJ
present proposals for instituting feasible programs:
THE RECOMMENDED PLAN FOR
SOLID WASTE STORAGE
A. Local jurisdictions should conduct studies to
determine the status of existing facilities for solid.
wastestorage. Specific attention should be given to
commercial establishments.
B. -Local jurisdictions shall adopt minimum
standards for solid waste storage which would give
consideration to the following items:
1. Maintenance of containers and storage areas;
2: Provisions for on site resource recovery and
recycling;
3. Maximum limit on the amounu of refuse
allowed to be stored on site;
4. Restrictions on the type of wastes allowed
for storage;
5. Limits on the length of time allowed for
on•site storage of wastes;
6. Storage bag specifications;
7: Combined refuse and garbage;
8. Proper bundling and processing of tree and
garden trimmings;
9. Provisions for local enforcement to require
removal of solid waste from tenantless,
vacated, or abandoned premises; and
10. Minimum requirements for waste storage
containers, i.e., weight; volume and
container design.
C. Local jurisdictions shall adopt standards which
will require all new construction (excluding
residential dwellings) to incorporate appropriate
waste storage facilities.
D. Each local jurisdiction will submit to the
designated agency coordinating the County Solid
Waste .Management Plan, interim progress reports
acknowledging the extent of compliance• with the
foregoing recommendations.
E. The implementing organization shall review and
evaluate better handling and storage methods for
solid waste.
F. Local jurisdictions should develop wide spread
educational programs to instill awareness of the
importance of public participation to assure the
highest quality of w~te storage.
THE RECOMMENDED PLAN FOR
WASTE COLLECTION
Where appropriate, each incorporated City and/or the
County shall:
A. Establish a minimum frequency of collection to
accommodate the needs of their community in a
healthful and economic manner. Consideration
should be given to; but not limited by, such factors
as:
t. The types of refuse generated;
2. Prevailing population densities; and
3. Prevailing type of development.
B. Regulate. and inspect refuse collection vehicles to
see that they meet local and State health codes.
C. Review collection procedures to ensure that the
work is: performed in conformance with applicable
safety codes.
D. Review the operational performance to verify:
1. That the collection activity provides an
adequate level of service;
2. That all refuse is collected on schedule in a
neat and as quiet manner as possible. To this
end, to ensure that refuse set out for
expected service does not become a source
of lister, proper action should be taken to
preverit any person other than the owner or
person authorized to act on behalf of the
6
owner to tamper with or remove the refuse
or its container; and.
3. That the time, and day of collection is
compatible with the community's
requirements.
E. Ascertain that there: are adequate resources
available to collect all the refuse as scheduled.
F. Stay abreast of new collection technology to
1. Keep costs at economical levels;
2. Ensure that the collection activity remains
flexible enough to accommodate resource
recovery programs.
THE RECOMMENDED PLAN FOR
TRANSFER AND HAUL SYSTEMS
A. Provide a system of transfer stations, utilizing the
highway system, to accomplish economic disposal of
solid. wastes. im those areas deficient of sanitary
landfills.
B. Transfer stations shall be designed to provide for
potential resource recovery operations.
C. Form a task force to conduct continuing studies
and develop an evaluation program which will insure
that transfer stations will be available. when needed.
THE RECOMMENDED PLAN FOR
RESOURCE RECOVERY
A. The commercial and industrial areas will be
encouraged to continue their present practices of
waste utilization.
S. The County of Los Angeles, its municipalities,
private enterprise and the public shall implement
resource recovery programs as soon as they are
feasible.
C. A task force shalt 6e formed to implement
resource recovery at the earliest practicable time. It
shall submit a report considering but not limited to
the following:-
1. Feasibility analyses should include
consideration of technological,
environmental, and economic factors.
2. Economic analyses should be made on a
totat cost-benefit basis giving credit for the
benefits of resource recovery such as
resource conservation and reduced energy
use.
D. Additional technological development is
necessary before an ultimate resource recovery
program can be developed for Los Angeles. County.
Resource recovery programs shall be implemented on
a phased basis starting first with those techniques that
are currently feasible, and adopting more refined
processes as they are developed.
E. In line with the phased concept, the first step will
be to evaluate the potential of source separation and
separate collection of residential wastes. This
evaluation will be devoted to both the collection and
marketing ends of the system.. For this reason, the
evaluation and any subsequent implementing program
must be coordinated with both the secondary
materials industry and the local refuse collection
operation.
F. Local jurisdictions by ordinance. shall prohibit
scavengers from picking up materials placed out by
the citizens to be coltected as part of a source
separation program.
G. Continue and expand the resource recovery
program of collecting gas presently being produced in
'thee various landfills and diverting it to useful
purposes. Significant work is being done on this
technique now, but the program should 6e
accelerated.
H. The general state-of-the-art of all resource
recovery processes will be continuously reviewed.
Periodic reports shall be prepared on the status of
resource recovery processes with recommendations as
to the feasibility and applicability of these processes
td the Los Angeles County situation. The evaluation
shall consider potential systems on the basis of
economics, air management, environmental
considerations and resource conservation.
1. Procurement policies requiring purchase of items
containing recycled paper or other secondary
materials should be adopted by both private
enterprise and ia:al governments whenever: (1) the
7
cost for the material is the same or less than the virgin
material; (2) the quality of the recycled product is
satisfactory for its intended use; and 131 the same or a
lesser amount of energy is consumed to produce the
product as compared to processing the virgin
material. `
J. The selection of the sites and the designs for new
refuse transfer stations shall take into rnnsideration,
to the greatest extent possible, future possibilities for
resource recovery operations. Sites of adequate size
should be provided and processing streams should be
designed so that both front-end and. back-end
recovery systems can be added at a later date.
In summary, the County of Los Angeles. and its
various municipalities- will. implement resource
recovery programs as they become technologically
and economically feasible. Economic determinations
will be made bn a complete cost-benefit basis
including social and all other benefits attributable to
resource recovery rather than merely the direct
.evenues and costs.
A PLAN FOR CLEANING UP
INDISCRIMINATE DUMP SITES
AND REDUCING INDISCRIMINATE
DUMPING IN THE NORTH COUNTY
(ANTELOPE VALLEY)
The following programs and measures would achieve
the goals and objectives:
A. The Board of Supervisors will appoint the
Director of Health Services as Lister Management
Coordinator for the County of Los Angeles.
B. Provide a litter management and cost analysis
survey to provide much needed information on the
costs of litter cleanup, location of litter problems,
and amount of litter being cleaned up and disposed
of.
C. An educational program, aimed at all levels of I
the public, to be conducted at primary and secdndary
schools and through all news media
D. One of the basic steps in reducing litter is
increased law enforcement. Extensive new laws are
not necessary, but existing State and local laws
regarding litter and indiscriminate dumping must be
properly and strictly enforced.
E. Formation of a Garbage Disposal District or
development of the Land Use Fee concept in the
North County or Antelope Valley area. This will
provide for a one-time cleanup of litter and
indiscriminately dumped material and the placement.
and regular service of refuse containers or bins at
selected locations.
F. Refuse collection agencies and private refuse
collectors will be requested to provide complete
information regarding their service to all of their
customers on a regular basis.
G. Refuse collection agencies and private -refuse
collectors will be requested to increase the feve! of
service. they provide to include regular collection of
large, bulky items and a once-per-year clean-up
campaign- at a standard minimum fee commensurate
with the increased level of service..
H. Increased use of curbside refuse containers in
areas where many people congregate and in areas of
high•volume foot traffic.
I. Los Angeles County will encourage the use of
"litter bags" in motor vehicles and support legislation
making their use mandatory in all motor vehicles
registered in California.
J. The County of Los Angeles will urge and support
research which will lead to more utilitarian and
environmentally sound packaging, while promoting
educational programs which will encourage people to
buY products which use less wasteful and more
environmentally sound packaging methods. The
County will study and review all legislation aimed at
banning nonreturnable beverage containers. andlor
requiring a deposit on these containers for their
economic impact.
K. Promote resource recovery.
L. Augmentation Programs
The following modifications to existing programs
are recommended:
1. Coordinate street sweeping with refuse
collection.
2. Remove abandoned or discarded
automobiles in remote areas. Urge the
Legislature to provide resources to the
California Highway Patrol to continue -the
Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program in
Los Angeles County.
3. Use of "no dumping" signs andlor barricades
at those areas where indiscriminate dumping
is a problem.
0
4. Increase current governmental efforts .in
cleanup of existing litter.
THE RECOMMENDED PLAN FOR
HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
The specific actions recommended for the short-,
medium-, and long-term planning periods are:
A. Short-term Pfan
1. Expand Class I acreage at Palos Verdes
Landfill.
2. Obtain Class I resolution for Mission Canyon
Landfill..
3. Dispose of Group 2 liquids primarily at
Puente Hills and Spadra Landfills.
4. Increase liquid capacity of Class t landfills
by planned distribution and utilization of
solid waste.
5. Attempt to acquire a Class I resolution for
Lopez Canyon Landfill and permit entry of
all hazardous waste haulers.
B. Medium-term and Possible Long-term Plans
Expand Class P acreage at BKK Company
Landfill.
C. Activities Continuing During All Planning Periods
A task force shall be formed to review and
evaluate the management of hazardous and
nonsewered liquid industrial waste. The actions
will include the following:
t: Establish procedures to assure that alt _
hazardous wastes are treated or disposed of
legally.
2. Conduct a study to determine the feasibility
of utilizing other disposal processes az
alternatives to the Class I sanitary landfill.
3. Conduct a study to find acceptable locations
for additional Class 1 sites and determine the
feasibility of developing new facilities for
Group t waste disposal.
4. Conduct a study to determine the feasibility
of employing volume reduction processes at
the point of waste generation.
THE RECOMMENDED PLAN FOR
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
A. Short-Term Plan
1. The key element in the solid waste disposal
system for Los Angeles County will continue
to consist of strategically located sanitary
landfills.
2. Study and evaluate existing landfills for
potential expansion of usage.
3. Identify potential land disposal sites that can
be implemented in accordance with all
applicable laws and operated as an economic
unit.
B. Medium-Term Ptan
1. Develop a program for ascertaining future
landfill requirements, including review of the
impact of source reduction, resource recovery
and other environmental programs on
anticipated. sanitary landfill needs.
Z. Develop a program for acquiring sites to insure
that facilities are available when needed.
C. LongTerm Ptan
t. Modify, az needed, medium-term programs.
2. Modify sanitary landfill construction and
operation procedures, as needed, to
accommodate residue from resource recovery
operations:
~ THE RECOMMENDED PLAN FOR
FINANCING AND IMPLEMENTATION
A. Local governments will continue to have primary
responsibility for solid wazte storage, collection and
matters of local concern.
B. During the initial phase of Plan implementation
the County Engineer is assigned the responsibility for
conducting the action programs. He will be assisted
by an interim County Solid Waste Management
Committee on which he serves as chairperson. See
Figure Xl I•t for Committee organization.
C. General funds, tax assessments, user fees and
combinations of these funding methods will continue
to be the bazis of financing the solid waste
management system during the immediate future.
