Rulemaking History
Board staff conducted informal workshops on March 30, 2004 in Sacramento and on April 1, 2004 in Whittier to solicit comments on informal draft regulation text (see above).

The Board conducted a November 2004 workshop to obtain further input on the broad issue of what the Board's role should be regarding LEA and facility operator training.

At its April 11, 2005 meeting, the Board's Permitting and Enforcement Committee discussed the Board's role in broader local enforcement agency (LEA) and facility operator training.

On September 12, 2005 Board staff conducted a facilitated discussion on the issue of what type of broader training solid waste facility operators and inspectors need beyond that already provided, and whether and how this can be provided by the Board.

At its December 13, 2005 meeting, the Board directed staff to discontinue this rulemaking.
