Dear Mayor Malburg:
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. 1 for approval by your city pursuant to
Section 66780 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

Department of Finance, .Population Research Unit, for
carrying out the requirements of the Tax Reform Act
of 1972 (Chapter l4Q6, Statutes of 1972 as amended by
Chapter 358, Statutes of 1973). Where a city dis-
approves the proposed 'plan, the city shall notify the
county stating its reasons for such disapproval.
The county shall submit this information to the board.1t
The: foregoing regulations are adopted as emergency
regulations and are to take effect innnediately upon filing with
the Secretary of State as provided in S~ction l1422(c).
It has been determined that the foregoing regulations
impose no new costs on the state pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2231 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

ATTACHMENT A
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 Plan 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 many 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 indiscriluinate 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 in the Plan:
1. The Plan 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 5 through 9 and on pages 201
through 206.

CITY CLERK
TO: CITY COUNCILS
SUBJECT: Coordination of City and County Solid Waste
Management Planning Activities
In accordance with the Neje~-Z'berg-Dills Solid Waste Management and
Resource Recovery Act of 1972, each county is now preparing a canprehensive
solid waste management plan for subnittal to the State Solid Waste Management
Board by January 1, 1976. The law requires such plans to be consistent with
the State Board's policy, including the Minimum Standards for Solid Waste
Handling and Disposal. As a result, the county plans should provide that all
solid waste handling and disposal activities occurring within the county shall
be in canpliance with the minimum standards.
This letter is to apprise all cities of the elements of the standards which
affect solid waste management operations within their jurisdictions. We
recamnend that you review existing ordinances relating to solid waste manage-
ment to detennine if revisions are necessary in order to bring local regula-
tions into canpliance with the minimum standards. Attached is a copy of the
minimum standards for your use. In most cases, we are confident that city
ordinances already regulate operations and will be in accordance with State
standards.
Attached is a listing of solid waste management actions or functions, and
the pertinent sections of the minimum standards relating to the actions.
Further, legislation defining the enforcement program and responsibilities
to implement the standards has been introduced as AB 2439 (1975). The
proposed legislation requires that each city, county, or city and county
shall designate an enforcement agency. Cities may choose to designate their
own enforcement agE;3ncy for the pennit issuance, inspections and other
regulatory functions, or they may arrange for such on a cooperative basis
with the county. For example, the county health department might undertake
such a program, much as is the case now for restaurant regulation within
cities.
We are aware that marw cities have been closely involved in the preparation
of the respective county plans, and already have a clear understanding of
their role in the solid waste management plan implementation and the
enforcement program. In the interest of broadening this understanding and
cooperation, we urge your city to play an active role in the final stages of
county plan preparation and approval.
Sincerely,
