Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) Central

LEA Round Tables

In 1992 the Board initiated the Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) Round Tables to promote more efficient communication and cooperative relationships with the more than 50 LEAs across the state. The round table format allowed Board staff and LEAs to meet as peers and to discuss issues of regional concern with statewide implications.

Originally, these Board-facilitated meetings were designed to disseminate information on program changes and proposed directives from the Board and to elicit feedback from the LEAs. Over time, in each of the six geographically defined regions, the LEAs have expanded their roles in setting the round tables' agenda and running the meetings. The LEA Round Tables currently provide representatives to the Board's Enforcement Advisory Council which in turn forwards policy issues to the California Conference of Directors of Environmental Health's Solid Waste Subcommittee. The round tables also provide procedural recommendations to the Board.

The round tables meet three times a year--in the fall, winter, and spring.
