5 11.8 Hazardous Waste Management
6
7 The need to develop a rational planned approach to long term hazardous waste
8 management became increasingly evident during the 1980's. Partly in response
9 to this need, Assembly Bill (AB) 2948, sponsored by Tanner and passed in 1986,
10 gave California counties the opportunity to prepare county hazardous waste
11 management plans and provided funds to be allocated to the counties for plan
12 preparation. In Sonoma County, the County Public Health Officer, the
13 Hazardous Materials Management Commission, and the staff of the County
14 Department of Public Health prepared a plan. Tltis plan was approved by the
15 City Council in October, 1989.
16
17 The plan addresses hazardous wastes as defined in the State Department of
18 Health Services guidelines for plan preparation. Simply stated, the plan
19 addresses wastes which pose a threat to human health or the environment by
20 being ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic; radioactive and infectious wastes are
21 not considered. The plan is based on one goal. The goal of the plan is to
22 provide protection for the public health, safety, welfare, and the environment by
23 establishing a framework for the responsible management of hazardous wastes
24 while maintaining economic vitality. The Plan contains a permitting process
25 and criteria for evaluating potential sites for hazardous waste facilities, as well as
26 facility and performance review requirements for particular projects, if and when
27 proposed.

29 Objective (1): Establish Sonoma Countys Hazardous Waste Management Plan
