SUBJECT:
Proposed Resolution Approving and Adopting the Final Draft
Countywide Summary Plan and Countywide Siting Element.
BACKGROUND
On December 10, 1996 the Poway City Council adopted Resolution No. 96-123 approving the first
Countywide Integrated Waste Management Summary Plan and Siting Element.
On June 25, 1997 the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) approved San
Diego County's Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan, Siting Element, and Summary
Plan.
Per Public Resources Code Section 41770, the Countywide Siting Element must be reviewed and
revised, if necessary, every five years. The Local Task Force, administered by SANDAG,
determined an update of the Countywide Siting Element was warranted due to a number of
changes since its adoption, including divestiture of the county landfills to private ownership in 1997.
The County began the process of review and revision in 2002. On January 23,2004 SANDAG, in
its role as the AB 939 Local Task Force, voted unanimously to recommend that the revised
Summary Plan and Siting Element be distributed to the cities and county for formal adoption.
FINDINGS
The updated Countywide Summary Plan contains goals and policies and a summary of integrated
waste management issues facing the County. It summarizes waste management programs
developed by the jurisdictions within the county to meet the AB 939 fifty percent (50%) waste
reduction mandate. It also suggests steps needed to cooperatively implement and administer
specific programs regionally or Countywide.
The Countywide Siting Element contains all AB 939 descriptions of existing facilities and strategies
for the region to provide fifteen (15) years disposal capacity. The Siting Element demonstrates that
there are at least fifteen (15) years of remaining disposal capacity using a combination of several
integrated waste management strategies to serve all the jurisdictions within the County.
The County of San Diego points out in its cover letter that the Siting Element seryes as a guidance
document, rather than a specific development program. Wh ile the Siting Element discusses new

landfills and landfill expansion, it does not advocate or guarantee approval of facilities by any
agency or jurisdiction. Each proposal for a new or expanded solid waste facility must be reviewed
separately through local land use approval and state permitting procedures.
Before the County can submit the Summary Plan and Countywide Siting Element to the State, they
must be adopted by a majority of the cities representing a majority of the incorporated population
within ninety (90) days of receipt.

Countywide Integrated Waste Management Summary Plan and Countywide Siting Element
