EISER, III CITY 1 TIURNEY MAYOR A EXHIBIT "A" ATTACHMENT EXISTING FAIR SHARE POLICIES 1. Every county and city in the region will accept responsibility orin the �mmanagement of hazardous wastes in an amount proportionate to the hazardous wastes genera and city. 2. Each county shall meet its obligation in managing hazardous wastes either by siting facilities to treat and dispose of hazardous waste or by entering into intergovernmental agreements with other counties to site facilities. 3. The Southern California Hazardous Waste Management Authority (Authority) encourages the siting of treatment facilities in counties where there is a substantial unmet need for the type of treatment which a facility would provide. The Authority will consider the relative risk of waste type and treatment methodology in the fair share allocation of facilities. 4. The minimum fair share responsibility for each county shall be to have some combination of facilities sited within the county, gnd intergovernmental agreements with other counties — which will equal the county's off - site hazardous waste generation. S. The maximum fair share Tesponsibility for each county will be to have facilities sited within the county that equal the off -site waste generation of the county. The county may choose to site facilities in excess of that county's off -site waste generation. 6. The Authority will assist and support local government siting of facilities consistent with the first five fair share principles through the regional action plan. The Authority will support local governments in their local land use decisions which are consistent with the fair share principles. 7. Fair share determination is dynamic and will change based on economic growth, progress in waste minimization, technological advancement, and progress in siting new facilities. The fair share determination for each county shall be made annually by the Authority based on the most recent generation data and projections, and whenever a new facility is sited or an existing one expanded or restricted. PROPOSED ADDITION TO FAIR SHARE POLICIES Approval of proposed hazardous waste management facilities that do not exceed a jurisdiction's "fair share" will ve depend on siting ate hazara rddo s d other aste managementcapacityfor by thewspec unless hazaardous wainterjurisdictional te which the facilittyy would ents provide for adequate have handled in another California county. A county can reject a proposed hazardous waste management facility/project that exceeds its "fair share" if there are effective interjurisdictional agreements for the management of the specific hazardous waste generated in the county or there is adequate capacity to handle these wastes in the county. If adequate capacity does not exist in the county, or effective interjurisdictional agreements do not exist, a jurisdiction shall not reject hazardous waste management proposals that exceed "fair share" if the proponent demonstrates that the 'fair share" facility (i.e., smaller facility) is economically non -viable, except in cases in which the jurisdiction demonstrates that there are appreciably increased public health and/or environmental risks associated with the proposed facility. The "fair share" language contained in this plan is only operative in conjunction with effective interjurismctional county agreements.
