D SCUSSION:
T e goal of the Local Solid Waste Enforcement Program Plan is to
a sure that all residential, commericial and industrial solid
astes are stored, transported, transferred/processed and
disposed of in a safe, sanitary, and environmental acceptable
manner. To aid the local agencies in the preparation of their
~' Enforcement Program Plan, the SSWMB prepared guidelines
c ntaining the various components required by law. The Chula
Vista Solid Waste Enforcement Program Plan is based on the
guidelines and has been reviewed by County of San Diego's Solid
aste Program Manager. Our plan will become a part of the
E forcement Element of the San Diego Regional Solid Waste
Management Plan (CoSWMP) .

' Meeting Date 1-26-82
A 2439 requires that the major enforcement functions be
p rformed by either the State or County Health Departments.
U der the law, the State Department of Health is to regulate all
C ass I solid waste facilities. There is only one such facility
1 Gated within the City limits. It will be located off Maxwell
R ad next to the Otay landfill. This facility is a transfer
s ation and is not yet operational. The San Diego County Health
' D partment regulates the Otay landfill (Class II waste disposal
s'te) in accordance with a permit issued by the State of
C lifornia.
A cording to the regulations, the City staff's responsibility is
i vestigation of citizen complaints pertaining to collection of
w ste by the Chula Vista Sanitary Service, zoning violation
m tters and land use regulation only. Since these functions are
n w being conducted by the City (see attached Table of
` O ganization), this plan is expected to have minimal impact upon
t e City's resources.
F SCAL IMPACT: Minimal.
