No Permitting and Enforcement (P&E) Committee Meeting in January.

Summary of the Board Meeting:

  • The Board concurred in three full solid waste facility permits.
  • The Board recommended $700,000 for the clean-up of the Pryshepa Disposal Site in Siskiyou Co. under the Solid Waste Disposal and Codisposal Site Cleanup Program (AB 2136 Program).
  • The State Audit Report resulting from the Crippen fire was presented to the Board by the Auditors. The Board directed staff to rescind Advisory 12 on non-traditional sites, provide the Board with a list of activities that have been excluded as part of various rulemaking packages and discuss the audit recommendation regarding tracking of excluded sites with LEAs, and continue discussion of changing the law that allows the staying an enforcement order on appeal.
  • The Board heard a discussion of the possible application of 14 new requirements adopted in the construction, demolition and inert debris (CDI) processing regulations to the regulation of other solid waste. The Board agreed with staff's suggestions that: a) 6 requirements be left as they are in the CDI regulations; source/separated, 1% putrescible, origin of construction and demolition-like, expanded definition of processing, and limitation on residuals (the requirement for mandatory OSHA training was deleted by the Office of Administrative Law); b) staff conduct further analysis of the injury and illness prevention program/plan requirement, scales requirement, and quantities for tier thresholds; c) include the fire prevention plan requirement in rulemaking discussions d) staff initiate rulemaking actions to add the "three strikes" requirement to other solid waste regulatory packages and two requirements, public hearings and surprise random inspections, to general solid waste requirements, not just for CDI processing.
  • The next Board meeting will be on February 18, 2004 in Sacramento.
  • The Board meetings are being audio broadcast and are available from almost any personal computer with Internet access.
