coast, analogous to a regional plan formed between contiguous counties. Part of the purpose for such a plan would be to establish minimum regulations for all states so certain states would not be unduly burdened with untreated wastes with potential consequences to public health and the environment. The cost and hazards associated with long-distance transportation of hazardous wastes would have to be quantified in the formulation of an interstate plan. The third scenario assumes that the facilities do not immediately comply with regulations and are forced to delay their operation. A communication network would therefore need to be established between generators in the County and those facilities experiencing time delays, and between generators and out-of-county facilities that could temporarily accept these wastes. If such a delay burdened out-of-county TSDFs, a plan would have to be devised to (1) reduce wastes being generated in the County, (2) find alternative TSDFs out-of-county or out-of-state that could manage these additional wastes, or (3) if the proposed facilities within the. County were approved, amend the CHWMP in those areas where the facili - ties would be sited. 8.2 CAPACITY NEEDS, ASSUMING WASTE MINIMIZATION If moderate waste minimization is implemented by the year 2000, the capacity needs for the County would be correspondingly reduced. Table 8-3 presents the results of applying the DHS-approved Jacobs method for waste minimization. Overall , if waste minimization is implemented, the County' s industrial hazardous waste stream (excluding one-time cleanup wastes) is projected to be about 20,011 tons in the year 2000, rather than 20,482 tons (see Table 8-1) . Facility needs for industrial waste would be correspondingly reduced. Oil recovery facilities would need to handle 7,295 tons, rather than 7,302 tons (see Table 8-1) , if moderate waste minimization were PJ9 9390502D.00D 8-6 Rev. 1 11/08/88
