ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No 2095, adopting the Benton and Franklin Counties Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan for the City of Pasco III. FISCAL IMPACT: Projected city match for 1994 $20,654 (combined solid waste/moderate risk waste) IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) Chapter 70 95 of the Revised Code of Washington mandates the development of a Solid Waste Management Plan The Department of Ecology developed guidelines for the development of local solid waste management plans and plan revisions in 1990 Since that time, Franklin County and Benton County decided to develop a joint plan This concept received the support of the Department of Ecology To develop the plan, Franklin County and Benton County each created their own separate Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC) The Franklin County SWAC consisted of representatives from each municipality, the county, and private industry B) In January of this year, Council approved an interlocal agreement with Franklin County This agreement authorized the county to implement both the MRW and Solid Waste Plans The city agreed to pay its per capita share of the cost to implement the plans This is the last step in implementing that agreement The Franklin County SWAC developed its version of the Solid Waste Management Plan and then worked with Benton County and the consultant to meld the two plans into the final product In places where Franklin County has specific issues different from Benton County, they are dealt with in a separate paragraph Thus, Franklin County's approach to solid waste management will differ slightly from Benton County's approach Once the draft had been prepared, it was submitted to the DOE for review and comment This process lasted almost a year C) Funding for the program is supported in large part by the Coordinated Prevention Grant which is administered by the Department of Ecology The aforementioned $20,654 is the city's per capita share of the CPG grant Services to municipal and county residents include operation and administration of the used oil collection program, "Away With Waste" presentations to school children, operation and administration of the moderate risk waste facility, advertising to encourage waste reduction and recycling, and, finally, efforts to comply with elements of the comprehensive plans The revenue section of the attached budget establishes the city's share of the grant match This proposed budget will be presented to the Franklin County SWAC in late September and will be adopted by the County Commissioners in the county budget V. DISCUSSION: A) Policies issues addressed in the Solid Waste Management Plan are based on the following elements • Waste reduction • Recycling • Solid waste processing technologies • Landfills • Refuse collection • Transfer and export • Special waste streams • Administration and enforcement The recommendations for each of these policy issues are practical The Franklin County SWAC worked hard to ensure that the recommendations would not be a burden on the local governments and yet still attain the goals set in the State Solid Waste Management - Reduction and Recycling Act Much of the delay m the DOE's review process was devising language that was acceptable to the SWAC and to DOE regarding implementation B) All municipalities m the county must adopt the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan by resolution By statute, this plan must be reviewed and revised every five years The Franklin County SWAC will provide oversight and direction to the county personnel who will be implementing the plan 2 RESOLUTION NO 2095 A RESOLUTION adopting the Benton and Franklin Counties Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan for the City of Pasco WHEREAS, pursuant to the Washington State Solid Waste Management Act (RCW 70 95 080), Franklin County and its cities and towns are required to prepare a Solid Waste Management Plan, and WHEREAS, the Plan was developed to address regional solid waste management issues and, therefore, includes Benton County and its municipalities, and WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Advisory Committee has overseen the preparation of the Plan, and Franklin County has taken public testimony on the Plan, and WHEREAS, Franklin County has complied with SEPA and determined, after circulation of the Determination of Non-Significance, that the proposal will have a non-significant impact upon the environment, NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: §1.
