A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, ENDORSING ASSEMBLY BILL
2948 (TANNER)
WHEREAS, the presence of hazardous substances and hazardous wastes in the
community creates a potential threat to public health and safety; and,
WHEREAS, there are cost-effective practices and technologies now readily
available by which to significantly reduce the amount and toxicity of hazardous materials
initially used as well as imposed on society's waste management capabilities; and,
WHEREAS, waste/source reduction benefits chemical users by reducing waste
disposal fees and long-term liability, as well as the costs of chemical feedstock
materials; and,
WHEREAS, there is a trend in federal law away from disposing of hazardous
wastes in landfills, creating a serious need for alternatives; and,
WHEREAS, with the passage of AB 2948, all cities and counties will be
authorized to adopt plans for the management and ultimate disposal of all hazardous
wastes generated within their boundaries.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that it is the policy of the City
Council of the City of San Juan Capistrano, to encourage and promote practices and
technologies that will, in order of priority:
1. Reduce the use of hazardous substances and the generation of hazardous
wastes at their source;
2. Recover and recycle the remaining waste for reuse;
3. Treat those wastes not amenable to source reduction or recycling so that
the environment and community health are not harmed by their ultimate release or
disposal.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of San Juan Capistrano shall
participate with the County of Orange in preparing a hazardous waste management plan
per the Tanner process as set forth in AB 2948.
