San Joaquin County Hazardous Waste Management Plan Assembly Bill 2948 established procedures for the preparation of a County Hazardous Waste Management Plan(CHWMP). The CHWMP is intended to serve as the primary planning document for hazardous waste management within a county, containing goals,policies and recommended programs for the management,recycling,and disposal of hazardous wastes. The CHWMP governs principally the coordination and planning of hazardous waste disposal capacity between the county and state. The California Department of Health Services must give its approval to the plan before the document becomes effective. San Joaquin County prepared a Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP)in November 1988 (San Joaquin County 1992). The HWMP is intended to serve as the primary planning document for hazardous waste management in the County. The HWMP analyzes .+ the hazardous waste situation within the County and makes recommendations. The recommendations within the HWMP encourage a variety of administrative programs to monitor and encourage hazardous waste reduction and educate and inform hazardous waste generators and the public concerning hazardous waste problems. It is also recommended in the HWMP that any use permit for a hazardous waste generator require that generator to implement a waste reduction program.
