October 3, 1990 E E COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS P. O. BOX 1810 - 1810 E. HAZELTON AVENUE STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA 95201 (209) 468-3000 Mr. Ed Padilla Senior Environmental Health Specialist Environmental Health Division Public Health Services P.O. Box 2009 Stockton, CA 95201 SUBJECT: NORTH COUNTY LANDFILL CONFORMANCE TO COSWMP Dear Mr. Padilla: EUGENE DELUCCHI CHIEF DEPUTY DIRECTOR THOMASR. FLINN DEPUTY DIRECTOR MANUEL LOPEZ DEPUTY DIRECTOR RICHARD C. PAYNE DEPUTY DIRECTOR The following information is being supplied to assist you in the review of the North County Sanitary Landfill permit application as it pertains to conformance to the County's Solid Waste Management Plan (COSWMP). As you know, the laws which provided for the preparation, review, revision, and finding of conformance to COSWMPs were repealed as of January 1, 1990, by Assembly Bill 939. When the law existed, it required that the lead agency (Public Works in San Joaquin County) responsible for maintaining the COSWMP to make a finding of conformance to the COSWMP for any new or expanded facilities. The COSWMPs were required to be reviewed every three years, and revised when necessary. There were no expiration dates for COSWMPs. Once approved by the California Waste Management Board (Board), they continued to be in effect until revised. Even when the law was repealed on January 1, 1990, they continued to be in affect as local plans. FINDING OF CONFORMANCE As mentioned above, the law that required a finding of conformance to the COSWMP was repealed. This created a period of time from January 1, 1990 until the new Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plans become effective which is referred to as the "Gap". During the Gap, there was no requirement of finding of conformance by the lead agency.
