10.4 FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING COUNTY WASTE REDUCTION PROGRAM <br /> The County has taken a major step toward developing a waste reduction <br /> program by passing (in 1986) Resolution R-86-1163. This resolution <br /> establishes waste reduction as a priority in the use of hazardous <br /> materials in the County. In order of priority, the County encourages <br /> practices that reduce, recover, and recycle for reuse, and finally <br /> safely treat those wastes not amenable to source reduction or recy- <br /> cling. A copy of the resolution is included in Appendix D. <br /> The first step in developing a County waste reduction program is <br /> inventorying waste quantities and types. A major portion of this <br /> information has been collected and analyzed as part of the Tanner <br /> process. The CHWMP therefore serves as the foundation for developing <br /> a waste reduction program involving both the public and private <br /> sectors. <br /> With the data analysis presented in the CHWMP serving as the inventory <br /> component of the Waste Reduction Plan, the remaining components can <br /> focus on the following elements as developed by the Environmental <br /> Health Department, Ventura County, May 1987: <br /> I .
