4.0 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS This section of the CHWMP summarizes the technical topics addressed in the Plan and highlights the major recommendations described in Chap- ter 21 .0 (Implementation) . 4.1 SUMMARY Chapters 5.0 through 9.0 - Hazardous Waste Generation Data, Projec- tions, and TSDF Capacity • The hazardous waste generation data presented in the CHWMP is based on information provided by DNS. • The County is projected to generate an estimated total of 20,482 tons of hazardous waste in the year 2000, 34 per- cent from waste oil and 9 percent from pesticides (see Table 6-6) . The major portion of the total (88 percent) represents industrial wastes, including unmanifested wastes produced by small quantity generators. • By . definition, small quantity generators (SQGs) produce less than 1,000 kilograms (1 . 1 tons/2,200 pounds) of hazardous waste per month and, until recent years, have not been recorded on DHS waste tracking records. They include such businesses as service stations, printers, dry cleaners, and pesticide applicators. • SQGs in the County produced an estimated 8,518 tons of hazardous waste in 1986 (see Table 5-10) and are projected to generate 10,762 tons in the year 2000 (see Table 6-1) . • Approximately 549 tons of household hazardous waste were generated in 1986 (see Table 5-10) . Thirty-one percent consisted of nonhalogenated solvents; 19 percent, metallic liquid; and 16 percent, nonmetallic inorganic liquid. • In the year 2000 the County will need a projected 20,482 tons of hazardous waste management capacity. Of this total , 36 percent can be treated by oil recovery. • An estimated 6,711 tons of residuals (Table 8-1) are projected to be generated in the year 2000 in the County.
