February Permitting and Enforcement Committee and Board Meeting Summaries

Date: February 24, 2003

To: All Local Enforcement Agencies

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 each Board and P&E Committee Meeting.

Permitting and Enforcement (P&E) Committee Meeting: Monday, February 3, 2003
Board Meeting: February 11, 2003

Board and P&E Committee Meeting Summary:

  • The Board overwhelmingly approved expenditure of Program funds to remediate the fire and related problems at the Archie Crippen site in Fresno. There was additional discussion regarding the investigation and regulation of similar types of sites. Board staff will be in further contact with LEAs to find and assess sites and will be reporting back at the March Board meeting.
  • The LEA Evaluation item was rescheduled for March.
  • The Board concurred in four solid waste facility permits and one permit was rescheduled for April.
  • The Board directed staff to proceed with the LEA partnership initiative to help the Board achieve Goal 4 of the Strategic Plan.
  • A P&E Committee public workshop on the Bradley Landfill was held on February 13 in Sun Valley.
  • Questions have been raised about the permitting, inspection and enforcement processes and staff is exploring a workshop to address these items tentatively slated for some time in April. One issue centers on concerns about the solid waste facility permit process and whether this process allows for ample opportunities for community involvement.
  • The next P & E Committee meeting will be held on March 10, 2003 in Sacramento
  • The P&E Committee and Board meetings are being audio broadcast and are available from almost any personal computer with Internet access.
