CALIFORNIA 95201 (2091 468-3000 Board of Supervisors Courthouse - Room 701 Stockton, California 95202 RESOLUTION THE SOLID (ALL Dear Board Members: IT IS RF'COMMENDED: PROVIDING FOR WASTE CLOSURE SUPERVISORIAL ESTABLISHMENT OF ENTERPRISE FUND DISTRICTS) EUGENE DELUCCHI CHIEF DEPUTY DIRECTOR THOMAS R. FLINN DEPUTY DIRECTOR MANUEL LOPEZ DEPUTY DIRECTOR RICHARD C. PAYNE DEPUTY DIRECTOR That the Board of Supervisors adopt the Resolution to establish a Solid Waste Closure Enterprise fund in conformance with the Solid 40 Waste Disposal Site Hazardous Reduction Act of 1987 (ACT). REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Assembly Bill 2248, which was signed into law by Governor Deukmejian on September 28, 1987, created the ACT. It mandates landfill operators to establish a trust fund, or equivalent financial mechanism, to ensure adequate resources for closure and postclosure maintenance activities for landfills in California. The fund or an equivalent financial mechanism is to be established by the operator of any Solid Waste Landfill that was operating on January 1, 1988. In addition, the required financial mechanism must be approved by the California Waste Management Board and the San Joaquin Local Health District, and it is to be established on or before January 1, 1989. The County of San Joaquin as operator of the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill and in accordance with its contractual obligations with Foothill Sanitary Landfill Inc., must comply with the mandates of the ACT. Although the County has established closure funds for the Harney Lane and Foothill Sanitary Landfills, the present method used to account for the funds does not meet the guidelines of the ACT.
