A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH PROTESTING WASTE
IMPORTATION INTO ORANGE COUNTY LANDFILLS
WHEREAS, the California Legislature enacted Assembly Bill
939 in 1989 , establishing aggressive waste reduction
requirements for California cities and counties to prolong
landfill life; and
The Orange County Board of Supervisors and the Orange
County Integrated Waste Management Commission are now
considering the feasibility of importing waste from other
counties, which would consume Orange County landfill space with
outlying counties ' waste; and
The importation plan proposes receiving about 5, 000
tons/day of imported waste, generating a new revenue source for
the County of Orange, but which would be borne by city
constituents in their refuse bills, covering such increase
expenses as hauler delays, and in many cases, longer landfill
trips; and
The importation plan would be an unfair burden for Orange
County communities which would have to bear additional traffic
congestion and increased maintenance costs for city streets; and
JCB434 1
Waste importation from outlying counties poses the
potential risk of greatly increased chances for receiving
hazardous materials in local landfills, and the resulting
increased chances for groundwater contamination;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach does hereby resolve as follows :
That waste importation in Orange County from outlying
counties is counterproductive and unacceptable, and that the
city protests importing waste into the county landfills.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on
the 19th day of July 1993 .
