25135.9
. (a) The department shall, pursuant to this section and
subdivision (c) of Section 25170, prepare and adopt a state hazardous
waste management plan. The state hazardous waste management plan
shall serve as a comprehensive planning document for the state and
shall be prepared as a useful informational source for the public,
local government, and regional councils of government. The state
hazardous waste management plan shall be prepared in conjunction
with, and shall take into account, hazardous waste management plans
adopted by counties and regional councils of governments.
(b) The state hazardous waste management plan shall be prepared and adopted by the department on or before November 30, 1991, shall be reviewed annually, and shall be revised to reflect new information at least once every three years.
(c) In preparing and adopting the state hazardous waste management plan, and in revising the plan thereafter, the department shall do all of the following:
(1) Publish the draft plan or the revised plan and make it available to the public for review and comment at least three months before final adoption.
(2) Conduct workshops and at least two public hearings on the plan or the draft revised plan, one in the southern part of the state and one in the northern part of the state, to solicit the views of the public, local government, regional councils of governments, and interested parties.
(3) Include in the final state hazardous waste management plan and in revisions of the plan, a summary of the comments received and the department's responses to those comments.
(d) The state hazardous waste management plan, and each revision of the plan, shall include, but need not be limited to, all of the following elements:
(1) An analysis of the hazardous waste streams produced in the state, an accounting of the volumes of hazardous waste produced in each county and region of the state, by type of waste, and estimates of the expected rates of hazardous waste production, by type of waste, during the next five years.
(2) An inventory of existing and planned hazardous waste facilities which handle, treat, recycle, dispose, or otherwise manage hazardous wastes produced in the state. The inventory shall include a description of the facilities, a determination of the capacity of each existing or planned facility to handle, treat, recycle, dispose, or otherwise manage the waste streams it is authorized to handle, treat, recycle, dispose, or otherwise manage, and a description of the current progress and status of each planned facility in achieving operational status, including a timetable for becoming operational.
(3) An assessment of the need for additional hazardous waste facilities to manage the volumes of hazardous waste currently produced or which are expected to be produced during the next 20 years.
(4) An identification of the areas or regions of the state where new or expanded capacity to manage hazardous wastes are needed and the types of facilities that should be sited and constructed.
(5) A description of the policies, programs, incentives, requirements, prohibitions, or other measures which, if implemented, would reduce or eliminate the need for new or expanded facilities.
(6) A statement of goals, objectives, and policies currently in effect, or in the process of development, for the siting of hazardous waste facilities and the management of hazardous wastes during the next five years.
(7) A schedule of recommended actions, including specific dates, for carrying out state, regional, and local actions to implement the state hazardous waste management plan.
(b) The state hazardous waste management plan shall be prepared and adopted by the department on or before November 30, 1991, shall be reviewed annually, and shall be revised to reflect new information at least once every three years.
