SUMMARY <br />Implementation of the Solid Waste Disposal and Codisposal Site Cleanup Program (AB 2136) <br />was approved by the Board on February 24, 1994. Approval included the Program Flow Chart <br />and guidelines for cleanup of sites through matching grants to local governments, loans to <br />responsible parties and local governments, grants to local enforcement agencies (LEAs) for <br />cleanup of illegal disposal sites (IDSs), and direct site cleanups using Board -managed contracts. <br />Since the inception of the AB 2136 Cleanup Program, the Board has approved 72 sites for <br />cleanup.

Fifteen sites have been remediated, one of <br />which were remediated by the AB 2136 Cleanup Program, and work is currently underway on <br />eight sites. <br />Remediation of the West 6th Street/Straugh Road Illegal Disposal Sites will combine efforts of <br />the County of Sacramento and the Integrated Waste Management Board's Waste Tire <br />Stabilization and Abatement Program and the AB 2136 Cleanup Program.
