This all LEA e-mail was sent on behalf of Scott Walker, Acting Deputy Director of the Permitting & Enforcement (P&E) Division and the LEA Support Services
Branch of the
California Integrated Waste Management Board. These Board and P&E Committee Meeting summaries will be sent after

Permitting and Enforcement (P&E) Committee
Meeting: Tuesday, November 12, 2002
Board Meeting: November 19 & 20, 2002
Board and P&E Committee Meeting Summary:
- The Board voted unanimously to adopt the
proposed regulations for the Compostable Materials Handling Operations and
Facilities Requirements. Staff will be reporting back to the Board on the
progress with implementation of the proposed regulations.
- The P&E Committee directed staff to
bring the proposed Construction and Demolition and Inert Debris Processing
Tiered Regulations (Phase I) back to the Committee in December with proposed
language that will be "franchise agreement neutral" with regard to the use of
"debris" and/or "waste" in the definitions. Additionally, staff was directed to
include regulatory language to allow a temporary Registration Tier permit for
facilities that process 100 TPD or more while a full tier permit is being
obtained. Staff will seek direction from the Committee on December 2 to initiate
a 15-day comment period on the changes. A stakeholders meeting is being held
todayNovember 20 in
Sacramento.
- CIWMB conducted the public hearing for the
proposed regulations for the Waiver of Permit Terms and Conditions during
temporary emergencies at the November 12 P&E Committee meeting. CIWMB staff
publicly noticed the proposed regulations on August 31, 2002. Staff received no
comments during the 45-day comment period. At the public hearing on November 12,
one commenter raised concerns regarding whether the stipulated agreement (SA) is
an enforcement order The Board's Legal Office responded that the SA is an
enforcement order and that it can be appealed with an ability to stay the SA
unless the LEA decides there is an immanent health threat if operator is not
allowed to operate under a SA. Later, during the committee meeting, another commenter stated they didn't
feel it was appropriate for the Board's Executive Director to review and change,
if warranted, a SA issued by an LEA. This comment will be addressed in the Final
Statement of Reasons for the regulatory package. Staff anticipates that the
regulations will be brought to the Board for adoption at the December meeting.
- The P&E Committee directed staff to
initiate a 15-day comment period for changes to the regulation text for Closure
and Postclosure Maintenance. There are minor changes to the first version of the
proposed regulations. The changes for consideration in the 15 day comment period
are in two categories: modifications to clarify the original regulatory intent
and modifications to provide consistency with other regulations, including State
Water Resources Control Board regulations. The 15-day comment period will run
from November 13 through November 27, 2002.
- CIWMB conducted the public hearing for the
proposed Waste Tire Monofill Regulations on November 12 during the P&E
Committee. The 45-day public comment period on the proposed regulations began on
September 6, 2002, and closed on October 21, 2002. The regulations will probably
go back to the Committee to request another 15-day comment period in early 2003.
Some additional changes may address SWRCB's new design and construction
standards, some additional RDSI requirements and suggested changes to technical
standards such as cell size variability.
- The Board approved
the adoption of the proposed regulations for Inventory of Solid Waste Facilities
Which Violate State Minimum Standards.
- The Board concurred
in three solid waste facility permits.
- he next P & E
Committee meeting will be held on December 2, there will not be a workshop at
the December Committee meeting.
- The P&E Committee and
Board meetings are being audio broadcast and are available from almost any
personal computer with Internet access.
