Original Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIWMP) or Regional
Agency Integrated Waste Management Plan (RAIWMP) Requirements, Guidelines and Procedures
Pursuant to
PRC section 41750 et. seq., each county and city or regional agency
shall prepare and submit to the Board a CIWMP or RAIWMP.
Regulations on content requirements, planning guidelines and procedures
for preparing countywide or regional integrated waste management plans are
outlined in Title 14, CCR Chapter
9, Article 8, sections 18776-18788.
Five-Year CIWMP and RAIWMP Review Report Process and Content Requirements
PRC section 41770 provides that each CIWMP or RAIWMP shall be reviewed, revised, if
necessary, and submitted to the Board every five years.
Additionally,
PRC section 41822
requires review of the CIWMP at least once every five years to:
- Correct any deficiencies in the individual planning documents.
- Comply with the source reduction and recycling requirements
established under
PRC section 41780.
- Revise the documents, as necessary.
The Five-Year CIWMP or RAIWMP review process and report content requirements
are further clarified in Title
14, CCR Section 18788.
Planning Document Amendments
If a jurisdiction revises or amends its Source Reduction Recycling
Element (SRRE), Household Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE), or Nondisposal
Facility Element (NDFE), the
jurisdiction shall revise or amend and submit its SRRE, HHWE, or NDFE
pursuant to the requirements of
Title 14, CCR sections 18765 through 18768. Additionally:
- Title 14, CCR section 18726
outlines specific requirements for solid waste generation studies (SWGS)
prepared for SRRE revisions.
-
PRC section 41515
indicates that if a jurisdiction conducts an aerosol can recycling
program, a requirement to educate the public on the safe collection and
recycling or disposal of aerosol cans shall be incorporated into the HHWE prepared by the jurisdiction when that element is revised.
Note: A jurisdiction is not required to amend its HHWE for the sole
purpose of updating aerosol can recycling program implementation, as
this information can be updated via the Annual Report process, i.e., the
Planning and Reporting Information System (PARIS) under one of the HHWE
program codes (9000 series). If, however, a
jurisdiction determines that a revision to its HHWE is necessary, then
the jurisdiction must include program information regarding aerosol can
recycling education in its amendment.
- Similarly,
PRC section 41516(b) established through Senate Bill 20 (Sher, Chapter 526, Statues of 2003)
provides that on and after January 1, 2004, if a jurisdiction revises
its HHWE pursuant to Section 41770, the document must identify those
actions the city, county, or regional agency is taking to promote the
collection, consolidation, recovery, and recycling of covered electronic
waste.
Note: A jurisdiction is not required to amend its HHWE for the sole
purpose of updating electronic waste program implementation, as this information
can be updated via the Annual Report process, i.e., the PARIS under one
of the HHWE program codes (9000 series - for the 2003 Annual Reports,
electronic waste programs with have its own program code).
However, independent of Senate Bill 20, if a jurisdiction determines that a
revision to its HHWE is necessary, then the jurisdiction must include
information regarding e-waste program implementation in its amendment.
If a county or regional agency revises its Countywide Siting Element (SE) and/or
Summary Plan (SP), the county
or regional agency shall revise and submit its SE and/or SP pursuant to
the requirements of Title 14, CCR
sections 18780 through 18784.
Additionally,
-
PRC 41701 (e)
provides that SEs submitted (i.e., new) or revised on or after January
1, 2003, shall include a description of the actions taken by the city or
county to solicit public participation by the affected communities,
including, but not limited to, minority and low-income populations
(i.e., Environmental Justice actions). For additional information
regarding these environmental justice requirements, refer to the section
addressing Countywide Siting Element Adequacy in CIWMP Enforcement Part
I: Plan Adequacy.
Note: A jurisdiction is not required to amend its SE for the sole
purpose of documenting Environmental Justice efforts. If, however, a
jurisdiction determines that a revision to its SE is necessary, then the
jurisdiction must include a description of its Environmental Justice
actions in its amendment.
