AB 1220

Description:
The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) completed a parallel rulemaking as a result of Assembly Bill 1220 (Chapter 656, Statutes of 1993). Assembly Bill 1220 required clarification of the roles and responsibilities of the two boards, the Regional Water Quality Control Boards and the CIWMB's local enforcement agencies in regulating solid waste disposal sites. The approved Title 27 regulations combine prior disposal site/landfill regulations of the CIWMB and SWRCB that were maintained in Title 14 CCR and Chapter 15 of Title 23 CCR.

History/Status:
Notice of the proposed change in regulations was published in the California Regulatory Notice Register on July 26, 1996. The regulations were adopted at a joint meeting of the CIWMB and SWRCB on January 23, 1997. The Office of Administrative Law approved the regulations and filed them with the Secretary of State on June 18, 1997 and they became effective 30 days later, on July 18, 1997.
