_ BACKGROUND
~ .',
,. ,
_ AB 2948 (Tanner) in 1986 required counties to adopt a CQ~ty,,:E;Iazardo'\lS Waste Management Plan
. ;.-;: ., (CHWMP). The plan must address the management of all hazirdous wastes generated in a specific
. county. In addition, the legislation lays out a process for the siting of expanded ,or new off-site
hazardous waste facilities (i.e. those facilities which Collects hazardous wastes from other sites) in a
community. This issue must also be addressed in the plan. The legislation is based on. the principles of
fair-share and local responsibility. That is, counties are obligated to plan for treating hazardous wastes
generated in their area as well as any obligations due to interjmisdictional agreements with other
counties. In addition, local jurisdictions are expected to accommodate hazardous waste facilities and
not deny such facilities based on local concerns. State law also requires.that cities have 180 days,after
state approval of a county plan to adopt local planning requirements to implement the county plan.
.>
The Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan was approved by the State late in 1995 and
addressed the requirements of AB 2948. Based on a notice received {rom the AlamP.daCounty Solid
Waste Management Authority which prepared the plan, Alameda County, cities have until June 30,
1996 to incorporate the CHWMP into their general plans and to adopt a set of local,planning
requirements in the General Plan and/or Zoning Ordinance.
The Planning Commission heard these items on June 18, 1996, and recommended that the City Council
adopt them. Alameda County Waste Management Authority staff have ~,w:edDubIin Planning Staff
that there are no penalties for non-compliance, and that being in the hearing,process by June 1996, is
evidence ofa good faith effort on the part of the City.

Overall, the plan's policy direction, as provided in Chapter 2 (see in Exhibit C), is to phase-out land
disposal of hazardous waste and to establish a hazardous waste management hierarchy . The 'hierarchy
establishes source reduction as the highest priority to manage hazardous waste followed by onsite and
offsite reuse aDd recycling,onsite and offsite treatment, inciDeration 'and disposal of residuals as the
lowest priority. Policies also encourage:
:. 1. The consolidation of offsite ha.zardous waste facilities to be located near where the majority of
the waste is being generated,
2. The disQursement of transfer stations,
3
3.
The promotion of programs for small hazardous waste generators and household hazardous
wastes,
Public participation in hazardous waste planning,
A public education program on hazardous wastes,
Establishment of a "fair-share" principle for the siting of hazardous waste facilities to meet the
needs within the county.

,
Based on the analysis of current and projected waste generation and capacity, Chapter 8 of the
CHWMP outlines projected facility needs by the year 2000 (from base year 1986). The plan projects a
need, in priority, for two or three transfer stations, a small incinerator, a small solvents recovery
facility, an expanded waste oil recycling capacity, and a designated stabilization unit in Alameda
County. These projections are based on uncertain economic and other assumptions. Due to changing
economic and technological conditions, th,ese needs may increase or decrease. The plan basically is
intended to guide private sector investment as the demand for various types of facilities are needed.
The guide for locating offsite hazardous waste facilities is established in Chapter 9 (see in Exhibit C)
of the plan. This chapter identifies 22 different locational factors to consider in the siting of the
hazardous waste facilities. For each factor, there are two types of siting criteria (conditional and
exclusionary) for three categories of offsite hazardous waste facilities (Small-Scale Transfer and
Storage Facilities; Industrial Transfer/StoragefTreatment Facilities; and Residuals Repositories). A
locational factor may either exclude or, through analysis, require mitigation (if feasible) to mitigate
potential impacts of the factor. For example, the plan excludes the placement of any hazardous waste
facility within 200 feet of an active orrecently active fault (which would include the Calaveras fault).
Conversely, where adequate mitigation can be provided, a Small-Scale or Industrial hazardous waste
facility could be located in an area of unstable soils while residuals repositories on steeper slopes
would be excluded. Three criteria, seismic, wetlands and endangered species habitat, would exclude
the siting of small scale and industrial hazardous waste facilities in an area. Based on the proposed
general plan and zoning amendments, none of these three factors would affect potential sites (Le., M-l
or M-2 zoned land) for hazardous waste facilities iD. the City of Dublin.

}
t'
As part of determining the location of ofIsite hazardous waste facilities, the plan provides an option for
lo~ communities to decide ifhousehold hazardous waste collection systems can be considered as a
Small-Scale Transfer and Storage Facility. Staffis'recommending that such facilities be included in
order to provide local control and to encourage the location of such a facility in the City. Chapter 9
i, eoncludes with an explanation of the land-use appe8ls process available to an applicant in the eventof
an adverse local decision.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
Generally, the general plan amendment is consistent with the Alameda County Hazardous Waste Plan.
The amendment would establish two guiding policies and two implementing policies (staff reasons for
inclusion of these policies are given in italics):
GUIDING POLICIES
1. H_EnCOuraging the reduction or elimination ofhazardous wastes at the source as the highest
priority in the management of hazardous wastes. This goal is a top priority of the CHWMP.
? The City shall make provisions for the location of hazardous waste facilities in its community
which meet the fair share needs of the City of Dublin and of Alameda County. The CHWMP
incorporates a "Fair Share" principle in its Hazardous Waste Management Planning and Siting

Principle (see page 2-13 of Exhibit C). Agreements for new facilities to provide offsite treatment
cfpacity should be based on each jurisdiction's fair share'oltl1lliazardous waste stream.
..
......
Implementing Policies:
,:~~.3.
The goals, policies, facility siting criteria and other provisions of the CHWMP are incorporated
into the General Plan by reference (this is required by State Law) and subject to the following .
locational criteria:
r
A. Facilities for the land disposal of hazardous wastes or treatment residues are prohibited
in the City of Dublin These facilities, are intended to be located in remote areas a1.Ui are not .
appropriate in, locations at:/jacent to densely settled residential and commercia/areas due to the toxic
nature of the wastes, the potential for accidents and the risk of traffic acc~nts while wastes and
residues are being transported
,
.
,
B. Small-Scale Transfer and Storage facilities shall include 'household hazardous waste
collection facilities. The inclusion of these facilities in. the "Small-Scale, Transfer and Storage
Facility" category clarifies the appropriateness of such a necessary facility and facilitates its
establishment.
~-
C. To assure that future and existing residential populations are adequately considered, the
criteria for distances from facilities permitted by the plan will be from the facilities to residential
designated property. This approach, as. opposed to measW"ing tothe,nearestresidence, builds in an
extra buffer to protect residential areas.
_.::. D. To assure that facilities are appropriately located with regard to major transportation
. . routes, all sites for offsite hazardous waste facilities shall be directly served by streets meeting the
City's industrial road standards and shall be accessible via Major and Arterial streets as. designated by
the General Plan. This will ensure adequate and safe access for .the/acilities. .
E. To provide an adequate level of public $6rVices'andtoassure an adequate margin of,
public safety, all facilities shall be adequately served by necessary public. services as specified by the
- plan .and shall be withmll1hree;(3) minute response 1ime froJ.D the nearest ,me;Station.. Adequate
. provision of public services is necessary to ensurepropermanagementofthe factUties.and to protect
the public sqfery.-A"th'r.eeminuterr-esponse time is proposed in order to provide adequate rapid
response time in the event of a -spill or release. of a hazardous waste. This. is particularly critical where
highly toxic substances are involved and additional daytime and nighttime populations could be
impacted due to a slower response time.
F. To assure proper land use compatibility and adequate proximity to the waste generation
stream, all offsite hazardous waste facilities shall be located in areas designated Business
ParklIndustrial: Outdoor Storage, Business ParklIndustrial: Low Coverage, and Industrial Park on the
General Plan. The restriction offacilities to the Business Park/industrial: Outdoor Storage, }Jusiness
Park/industrial: Low Coverage, and Industrial Park designations of the , General Plan, while more
restrictive than the County Hazardous Waste Management Plan, is appropriate because sufficient
potential locations for facilities exist within those designations within the City, and because these
':::.07eO$ are easily accessible from anywhere in the City.
4. A violation of Zoning Ordinance Section 8-104.0, HAZARDOUS WASTE F A,CILIl'IES
LOCATION PROCEDURE" pertaining to the Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan is
5
deemed to be a violation of the Dublin General Plan. The General Plan determines that the
implementation of the Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan through the guiding and
implementing policies of the General Plan and by means of Section 8-104.0 of the Zoning Ordinance is
necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. This requirement provides authority for this
ordinance from the General Plan. Any court challenge of the ordinance is more difficult lfthe basis
for the ordinance is within the Gfmeral Plan.
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
The proposed Zoning Ordinance revisions are consistent with the County Hazardous Waste
Management Plan for the same reasons as discussed above pertaining to the general plan amendment.
The siting criteria are the same as provided in the County Plan notwithstanding the clarifications and
exceptions discussed above.
4, The most significant part of the zoning amendment is the establishment of Chapter 8-104.0. It requires
a conditional use pennit for the review of offsite hazardous waste facilities. The process is consistent
with the provisions of state law, the CHWMP, and the City's Conditional Use Permit requirements. It
specifies:
1. A detailed listing of anticipated information,
2. Clarifies the environmental review process,
3.
Establishes facility siting criteria and pennitting requirements consistent with the general plan,
4.
Provides for special requirements pertaining to safety, closure and financial responsibilities,
5 Establishes the Local Assessment Committee consistent with state law, and
6. Requiies findings for the approval of a hazardous waste facUity.
7. It also 'allows the Community Development Director to relax some of the informational and
analysis requirements for household hazardous waste collection programs. This provision is added
since these collection programs maybe very small in scale and the informational requirements may be
excessive. Further, this allows the City to encourage the development of these programs to better serve
Dublin residences. -
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project has been found to be categorically exempt under Section 15308 of the State CEQA
Guidelines which consist of actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local
ordinance, to assure the main:renance, restoration, enhabcement, or protection of the environment where
the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. The amendment of the
General Plan and of the Zoning Ordinance to establish procedures, siting criteria and land use
designations and zones in which Small-Scale Transfer and Storage Facilities and of Industrial
Transfer/Storage Facilities may be located. is an action by the City of Dublin to maintain, restore,
enhance and protect the environment. All subsequent decisions regarding location of these facilities
are subject the requirements of CEQA.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City COlUlcil does
hereby adopt PA 96-024 Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan General Plan
Amendment as follows:
4.6 ALAMEDA COUNTY HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The management of hazardous wastes generated by our highly technological society has become
one of the leading concerns of the City of Dublin. AB 2948 (Tanner, 1986) was signed into law
to require each county to adopt a County Hazardous Waste Management Plan and for each city to
incorporate the county plan into their general plans within a specified time period. The Alameda
County Hazardous Waste Management Plan addresses the requirements of AB 2948 by
conducting a planning process to develop a hazardous waste management program meeting
Alameda County's projected needs and complying with state law, a plan which establishes goals
and policies pertaining to the hierarchy of hazardous waste management strategies and a set of
criteria for the siting of expanded or new off site hazardous waste facilities.
Guiding Policies
A. The City of Dublin shall encourage the reduction or elimination of hazardous wastes at
the source site as the highest priority in the management of hazardous wastes.
B. The City of Dublin shall make provisions for the location of off site hazardous waste
facilities in its community which meet the fair share needs of the City of Dublin and of Alameda
County.
Implementing Policies
C. The goals, policies, facility siting criteria and other provisions of the Alameda County
Hazardous Waste Management Plan are incorporated herein by reference subject to the following
provisions to the locational criteria of the plan:
1. Facilities for the land disposal of hazardous wastes or trea1ment residues are
prohibited in the City of Dublin.
2. Small-Scale Transfer and Storage facilities shall include household hazardous
waste collection facilities.
3. To assure that future and existing residential populations are adequately
considered, the criteria for distances from facilities permitted by the plan shall be from the
facilities to residential designated property.

of public safety, all facilities shall be adequately served by necessary public services as specified
by the plan and shall be within a three (3) minute response time from the nearest fire station.
6. To assure proper land use compatibility and adequate proximity to the waste
generation stream, all off site hazardous waste facilities shall be located in areas designated
Business ParklIndustrial: Outdoor Storage, Business ParklIndustrial: Low Coverage, and
Industrial Park on the General Plan.
D. A violation of Zoning Ordinance Section 8-104.0, HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITIES
LOCATION PROCEDURE, pertaining to the Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management
Plan is deemed to be a violation of the Dublin General Plan. The General Plan determines that

FACILITY SITING CRITERIA AND PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS.
The following siting criteria and pennitting requirements have been established for
use by hazardous waste facility project proponents in locating and designing
suitable facility sites and appropriate facilities, and by the City in evaluating
proposed sites and facility projects. The purpose of the criteria is to reduce public
health and environmental risks and governmental costs associated with development
of off-site hazardous waste facilities.
A. Protect the Residents of Alameda County (and the City of Dublin):
1. Distance from residentially designated property
All Facilities: Treatment, storage, or transfer facilities handling
ignitable, e>..-plosive, reactive or acutely hazardous wastes must
provide a minimum buffer zone of at least 2,000 feet between the
nearest residential designated property and the facility site, unless the
developer can demonstrate by risk assessment and as part of the local
pennitting process that a smaller buffer zone provides adequate
protection for the public in the event of an accident. For other
facilities, including recycling, transfer, or storage of other types of
hazardous wastes, a buffer zone of at least 500 feet is required
between the operational area within the facility site and the nearest -
6
If)
.~.~

;.
.'.
e
e:
e.
II
residential designated property (again, unless the developer can
demonstrate by risk assessment and as part of the local permitting
process that a smaller buffer zone provides adequate protection for
the public in the event of an accident).
2.
Distance from Immobile populations:
All Facilities: Facilities shall comply with City minimwn zoning
code setbacks, unless a greater buffer distance from other uses is
deemed necessary, based on a required health and safety assessment.
Larger buffer zones are required between a transfer station, storage,
or treatment facility, and any inunobile populations where
evacuation in the event of an accident at the facility is likely to be
difficult or inadvisable. This is especially true for facilities handling
ignitable, explosive, or reactive waste. A minimwn buffer zone of
5,000 feet between a facility site and any site with an inunobile
population is therefore required, unless the developer can
demonstrate by risk assessment and as part of the local permitting
process that a smaller buffer zone provides adequate protection for
the inunobile population.
B.
Ensure the Structural Stability afthe Facility:
1. Floodplains:
All facilities: Facilities must be designed, constructed, operated and
maintained to preclude failure due to flooding, per flood control
authorities and requirements. Provisions must be made to contain
and test storm runoff prior to discharge in areas subject to
contamination by waste or treated material. The required health and
safety assessment will address flooding risks associated with the
facility. Facilities may be located in areas subject to 100-year
flooding only if protected by offsetting engineered improvements,
such as berms or raising the facility above flood levels. This
includes areas subject to flooding by dam or levee failure and natural
causes such as river flooding, flash floods, rainfall or snowmelt,
tsunamis (tidal waves), seiches (earthquake-induced waves in lakes),
and coastal flooding. A structural analysis or engineering design
study must be provided which shows methods to prevent undulation
or washout.
7
2.
Seismic:
.-,
All Facilities: Facilities must have a minimum 200-foot setback
from active or recently active earthquake faults, per the California
Administrative Code (CAC), title 22, Section 6391(a)(f11)A(1) and
(2). The required health and safety assessment will address
earthquake safety of the facility.
3. Unstable soils:
All Facilities: Facilities are prohibited from locating in areas of
potential rapid geologic change, unless the facility and its
contairunent structures have engineered design features to assure
structural stability. This includes areas with unstable soils, steep
slopes, and areas subject to liquefaction, subsidence or other severe
geologic constraints. The required health and safety assessment will
include a geologic report defining any such constraints and
engineered solutions.
C. Protect Water Quality:
1.
Groundwater:
.,
All Facilities: Facilities shall be fully enclosed by contairunent
structures of impermeable materials which would contain any
unauthorized release of hazardous material. Facilities shall be
equipped with leak detection and spill control and recovery
capability.

principal recharge areas to regional aquifers as defined in local or
state plans and areas of permeable strata and soils as defined by the
Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan. Facilities
may locate in these areas only with increased engineered design
features such as horizontal and vertical contairunent and monitoring
systems to ensure protection. Subsurface storage or treatment
facilities must provide secondary containment and shall be sited,
designed and operated to ensure that hazardous materials will always
be twenty feet above the tension-saturated zone unless approved by
the Alameda County Water District.
Facilities are also encouraged to locate outside of areas where .
groundwater is within twenty feet of the natural land surface. '.'C
Facilities may locate in these areas only 'with increased engineered

design features such as horizontal and vertical containment and
monitoring systems to ensure protection. Subsurface storage or
treatment operation is prohibited.
Industrial Transftr/Storage!Ireatment Facility: Groundwater
monitoring wells must be located around each facility to determine
background vadose zone and groundwater quality, and to detect
leaks and spills from the facility, unless demonstrated to be safe
without them through the health and safety assessment. An ongoing
groundwater monitoring program should be developed in
consultation with local, state and water district representatives.
2. Surface Water quality
All facilities: Developers shall comply with the requirements of the
Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program.
...
~.
Wastewater:

hazardous wastes. These policies express a preference for reducing waste generation., and mandate
a near-total phaseout of land disposal of all untreated hazardous wastes between 1985 and 1992,
Tnese wastes are to be treated, greatly reducing the remaining risks to public health and the
environment.
In a significant break from traditional hazardous waste management approaches, Congress in 1984
established a new policy direction. This policy states that land disposal should only be used as a
last resort for residues from waste treannent, and eliminated as quickly and completely as possible
for all untreated ~astes. The 1984_ federal Hazardous and Solid Waste .-\mendments (HSWA) to
the Resource Conservation and Recovery "Act (p. L. 98-616; 40 CFR Pan 240 et. seq.) requires a -
nationwide phaseout of disposal of all untreated liquid hazardous wastes on the land by 1992-
including disposal in landfills, pits, ponds, lagoons, surface impoundments, injection wells, or
similar facilities.
Comrressional intention on this issue is sDecmc. In the oDening statement of its findings and
- />" ..- -
objectives in this legislation., the House-Senate conferees expressed the judgment by Congress that
the risks from land disposal were too great and made clear their preference for alternative
management approaches for dealing with hazardous wastes:

HS\V A established a statutory presumption against land disposal of all untreated hazardous wastes
unless the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) specifically found that such a ban for a
panicular waste was not required to protect huma.l1 health and the environment. The amendments
established a set of specific deadlines for banning groups of hazardous wastes from land disposal.
EP A can eX'1end these deadlines for up to .2 years omy if there is a lack of alternate treatment
capacity to handle those wastes, thus providing the link to successful planning and siting.
HSW A brought small quantity generators (those producing less than 13.2 tons annually) into" the
federal "cradle to grave" hazardous waste management system for the first time; required
generatOrs to cenHy their eifons at reducing their waste production; greatly strengthened
operating, groundwater monitoring, financial capability, and closure standards for hazardous \vaste
management facilities; and established a national program to address leaking underground storage
tanks.
In many respects, California has led the nation in acting to protect public health and the
environment by restricting the land disposal of hazardous wastes. This program, begun in 1981,
served as the national model for the.1984 federal HSW A For example, HSW A incorporates the
so-called "California List" ofhazardous wastes to be banned from land disposal, so named because
pre-existing California law provided for similar restrictions. Tru-ough a large number of statutes,.:
the state has restricted the ability of generators to continue to rely on land disposal. ":'.:.'
The Toxic Pits Cleanup Act (Katz, 1984) required Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB) inspections of surface impoundments and other pits, ponds, and lagoons used for
hazardous waste disposal, and significantly limits their continued operation. In ~986, California.
accelerated thIs program through the hazardous \Vaste !\1anagement Act (SB1500, Roberri), which
requires the state to promote reduction in hazardous waste generation, increase recycling and .
treattnent of hazardous wastes, and allow land disposal of treatment residuals only. The California
phaseout relative to land disposal is more restrictive than that under RCRA and HS\\' A The
Legislature declared:
The disposal of untreated hazardous waste in., or Onto the land vvithout adequate technicaJ
safeguards tru-eatens not only the quality of the state's land, air, and water resources, but
poses a direct hazard to health and safety by exposing the public to substances that have
been found to cause cancer, birth defects, miscarriages, nervous disorders, blood diseases,
and damage to vital organs and genes.... 1t is, therefore, in the public interest to establish a
program to limit the use of land disposal practices which do not meet certain prescribed
standards and promote alternatives for hazardous Wa51e management.:2

No untreated 'wastes may be placed on or in the land in California after May 1990, as a result of SB

- .
planning and siting statute, e:>.."tends state policies to reduce the volumes of hazardous wastes bein!!
disposed on land. The act directs the State \Vater Resources Control Board (S\^lRCB) and State
Department of Health Services (DHS) to promote hazardous waste management practices
folloVving the hazardous waste mana!!ement hierarchv: reduction in hazardous \vaste !!eneration..
recycling, treatment, and land disposal only of residuals from recycling and treatment. -
;~U1Other significant policy directive, the federal Superfund l\mendments and Reauthorization Act
(SARA) of 1986, requires each state to pro\ide EPA by October 1989 with assurance that
adequate hazardous waste treatment or disposal facilities Will be available for handling the state's
waste stream. This can be accomplished either ~ithin or outside the state in accordance with an
interstate or regional agreement, to provide adequate capacity for the destruction., treatment, or
secure disposition of all hazardous wastes that are reasonably e"-"pected to be generated during the
nex"t 20 years. If this assurance cannot be provided, EPA could withhold Superfund monies from
the S1ate to provide for cleanup of known and yet to be identified hazardous waste sites.
Inherent in satisfying these state and federal laws, and the approximately 150 Other pieces of related
legislation that have been passed over the last 3 years, is the need to establish a comprehensive
pla..'1I1ing process to address hazardous waste management in a rational way. This need has been
recognized in ..\13 2948 (Tanner, 1986), which established an opponunity for each county in
California to develop and implement a County Hazardous Waste Management Plan. 1n adopting
the Tanner Bill, the Legislature saw the need for reducing hazardous waste generation as well as
siting enviromnentallyappropriate alternatives to land disposal of untreated wastes:
Safe and responsible management of hazardous wastes is one of the most important
environmental problems facing the state at the present time. This management is critical to
the protection of the public health and the environment and also to the economic growth of
the state. Jf environmentally . sound hazardous - waste facilities are not available to
effectively manage the hazardous wastes -produced by the many indusuies of the state, the
state's economic activity 'Will be hampered and cannot prosper, public health and the
environment will be threatened by the increased illegal disposaL and the use of outmoded
disposal practices will continue....3
A solution to the safe and responsible management of hazardous wastes also requires
improved programs of waste source reducrion and recycling, and encouragmg onsite
treatment of hazardous wastes. as Dfeferable to the sitim.~ of new land disDosal racilities.
, . _ f
The goal or this act, which recognizes the long-term health, environmental, and economic
risks of hazardous waste land disposal, is to prevent hazardou.s waste from being
permanently disposed into land, or emined into the air, without being processed by an
econDmically and technically feasible alternative technology. Anaining this goal will
:'5ec. 1(a)(2), Health and Safety Code
"'"
J_;
'"
require the development of feasible programs which should result in the reduction of the.__c
volun:e and hazard of hazardous v..astes at th~ir source, and ~e development of e>.:p~.':::
recycling programs for hazardous waste. This goal also reqwres that, as an alternauveY
traditional land disposal methods, residuals repositories be utilized for the byproduct5 of
preferred hazardous waste treatment technologies. Because of the threat to public health
and safety posed by the traditional land disposal of hazardous wastes, it is necessary that
these methods of dealing with hazardous wastes come quickly into place.4
The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is in the public interest to establish an effective
process for hazardDus waste management planning at the IDcal level. This process is
consistent with the respDnsibility Df IDcal gDvernments to assure that adequate treatment
and dispDsal capacity is available tD manage the hazardous wastes generated within their
jurisdictions. 5
C. EXISTING COID\'TY GOALS A1\'D POLICIES
Policies in the ..6Jameda County Solid Waste Management Plan provide imporrant starring points
for the comprehensive approaches to hazardous waste management planning.
COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING e)
Before A.B 2948 was passed, COUDty hazardous waste management planning was authorized under ."
state statutes mandating every county to prepare a COUDty Solid Waste Management Plan with
triennial updates. The portion of the Solid Waste Management Plan dealing with hazardous waste
disposal was required to be reviewed by DES for conformity with state hazardous waste standards.
DHS recommended that the discussion of hazardous- wastes be prepared as a separate element of.
the County Solid Waste Management Plans.
The 1987 Alameda County Solid Waste Management Plan contains a separate Hazardous \\Taste
Element, prepared after the passage of AB 2948 but before the development of the DHS
Guidelines for the preparation of County Hazardous \Vaste Management Plans. This element
represents "an interim approach to management of hazardous waste in Alameda County that will
be Iollowed by a detailed COUnty Hazardous Waste Management Plan." TIlls Hazardous Waste
Management Plan will supersede the infonnation and prograJrl.5 contained in the ..6Jameda County
Solid Waste Management Plan.

D. OVERALL GOALS A.,,\'D POLICIES FOR HAZARDOUS
WASTE M.ANAGEMENT
Goals, policies, objectives, and activities all have specific meaning in this plan:
.
.
Goals, as broad statements of fundamental values, serve to orient policy discussion
and guide decisionmaking. They reflect consensus on basic social, political, and
economic aims.
policies characterize the directions taken regarding major issues: steps designed to
achieve the goals. They reflect decisions made after consideration of specific
alternative positions and are the basis for directing development and implementation
of the .Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan.
.
Objectives-specilic statementS of desired achievementS over time-are measurable.
Progress toward reaching them can be assessed at specilic points during
implementation of the .Alameda County Plan. They are the key milestones between
1988 and 2000 in carrying out the policies to reach the goals.
.
Activities are those steps needed to acbieve the objectives in a timely fasbion. They
describe the responsibilities, timing, and resources to achieve objectives.
Basic goals and policies for hazardous waste management in Alameda County are discussed in this
chapter, specilic objectives and the activities that comprise the ~plementation elfon, including the
various new and revised programs to be developed.for action in Alameda County, are discussed in
Section IV (implementation).
These goals and policies are based on extensive discussion by the Waste Management Authority's
Hazardous Waste Committee elected officials, Hazardous Waste Management Advisory
Committee, city managers, industIY, and the general public regarding those major issues affecting
Alameda County's Hazardous Waste Management Plan.
The primIDY goals of Alameda County's Hazardous Waste Management Plan are to protect the
public health, welfure and Sllfety, and the environment, and to preserve and enhance the economic
vitality of the county by providing an overall frainework for responsibly managing hazardous
...=es over the next decade or longer. Another goal is to assist indusuy and governmem in
meetin~ state and federal reouirementS to eliminme land disoosal of untreated hazMdous wastes by
1990 ,;;ith a minimum of ec~nomic distuption or improper (or illegal) waste storage, management,
or disposal. All areas of California share responsibility for meeting these goals on an equitable
basis.
L~ accord with the provisions of state law (AB 2948; Tanner, 1986), new hazardous wa51e
manage.'1lent facilities and si!miiicant eA-nansions of existing facilities must all be consist;J't with the

RA.ZARDOUS MATERHLS USE REDUCTION SHOuLD REPRESENT A TOP PRIORITY
IN ALA.MEDA CO~TY'S PLA....~ A.i\TD FURSIJIT OF TIlE HlER..-\RCHY
Policy 3A. Hazardous materials Use reduction is a top priority of the Plan. The counn', its
cities, the special districts, and the Waste Management A,uthority will promote an aggressive
hazardous materials USe reduction eifOlt for all existing industry, and will encou,.""e existinQ
industry to conduct hazardous materials use reduction audits and develop plans fa; toxic us;
reduction. These agencies of government should work cooperatively with industries, assisting and
supporting them in eifOlts to use fewer toxic materials in manufucturing processes whenever
feasIble. Reduction in materials use is the most eifective method of reducing waste from the
standpoint of cost to industry (manufacruring and disposal) and COst to government Oess regulation
and reduced need for treatment and disposal facilities).
Policy 3B. Fmns wishing to locate in Alameda County (or to expand eJOstmg facilities
signiJicantly) sha1l demonstrate commitment to the policy of hazardous materials use reduction as a
condition for receiving land use approvals and business permits. Industries may be required to
supplement initial designs with mandatory plans to further reduce the amount and toxicity of
hazardous materials required for manufacruring processes. Progress toward accomplishing this
objective shouid be assessed as part of the permit renewal process. .',

POLICY 4: SOURCE REDUCTION M"'D WASTE MlNIM:IzAnoN
SOURCE REDUCTION AND WASTE MWlMrzATION .4..RE A TOP PRIORITY IN
ALAMEDA COUNTY'S HAZARDous WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Policy 4A. Source reduction and waste minimization are a top priority of the plan. The
county, its cities, the special districtS, and the Waste Management Authority will promote an
aggressive effort for all existing industry. Special new efforts will be devised and implemented to
ensure maXimum pursuit of source reduction and waste minimization at these existing facilities.
Government agencies should encoul"2ge innovative private-sector waste reduction activities and
should act to remove barriers to wider Source reduction and recycling through creation and
implementation of a waste reduction program designed in coneen with both large and small
generators in .4Jameda County. The \iVaste Management Authority will develop a model source
reduction program as its highest-prioriTy task in implementing this plan. \\There barriers exist that
are bevond the direct control of local 20vemments and districts to resolve" .local ae-encies will
. - -
advise appropriate State Dr federal authorities 'With recommendations for removing the barriers to
accelerate source reduction.
Polity 4B. Implementing an aggressive waste reduction program will require 10calt
governments to work closely and cooperatively with industry and draw upon its ex-penise. The
DoiiC\, of :\1arneda Counn' its cities sDeciaJ districts, and the Waste Manae-ernenr Authorirv is to

Polic)" 5. ..6Jameda County, its cities, the special districts, and the Waste Manageme~t
..\uthoriry encDurage firms whenever practical to employ onsite management in preference to
ofIsite management of hazardous wastes. Firms should incorporate onsite management as part of
overall manufacruring processes in order to reduce tranSportation risks to the community. Special
anention should be given to the needs of small business generators for whom some types of
hazardous waste management may not be practical onsite. While regulatory measures to give
. priority to onsite hazardous waste management may be needed, rigorous enforcement of stand~ds
necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare or the environment should be
undenaken.

Policy 6. Alameda County, its cities, the special districts, and the Waste Management
'. , lwthoriry strongly encourage locating offsite hazardous.waste management facilities as close~y as
possible to the sources of hazardous waste generation., taking intO consideration the siting of such
facilities within the jurisdiction where the predominant amount of waste to be processed by the
facility is generated. Within the pracrica1limitsreasonably imposed by economies of scale, market
service areas, and environmental suitability (including consistency with the siting criteria contained
in this plan), hazardous waste management facilities should be dispersed as close as possible to
clusters of hazardous waste generation sources. This is consistent with implementation of the
hazardous v;aste manaeement hierarchv and with Alameda County's intention to distribute facility
- -'
siT;ng decisions fairly at the County's jurisdictions according to their basic shares ofloeal hazardous
waste generation.

Easily-accessible transfer facilities will be encouraged as a key to the County's ability to address the
hazardous waste management needs of its smaller generators and households. This is an essential
element in implementation of .AJameda County's small quantity generator and household hazardous
waste programs.

SMtU..L QUA..."N 1l1ll:::S OF Ht\.Z.A.RDOUS WASTES
Policy 8A. The highest priorITy for immediate attention in this hazardous waste management
DIan is to meet the needs of the lanzer industrial finns that generate the greatest volumes of
.& - --
hazardous waste. These generators will be expected to comply first with the provisions of Policies
2B and 2C regarding the hazardous waste hierarchy. Small finns and small generators of
hazardous Wastes have special needs and pose enormous potential risks from possible ilIe.!!al
disposal of these waste. Special attention from local governments should be directed to small
generators. .AJameda County, its cities, the Waste Management .4.llthority, and the special districts
address the special hazardous waste management programs of small business/small quantity
generators by first identifying such a generator -and then by identifying and reducing barriers to .":
improved practices, especially waste reduction. The Plan encourages waste management firms to :
provide regulatory and technical information, affordable waste audits, and picJ....up and recycling
services specifically tailored to small businesses. Special programs to provide financial assistance
(e.g., loans or loan guarantees) to allow smaller firms to pursue the hazardous waste hierarchy are
also needed on a high-priority basis.
."' Policy 8B. Programs to assist small business hazardous waste generators in Alameda County
should,be designed to be self-sustaining by providing their own revenue source(s) (e.g., through
fees or, the like). However. such a funding basis should be designed not to impose such a burden
on the program's target groups that it discourages their participation and responsible hazardous
waste management. The availability of state grants, loans, and loan guarantees and of creative
private-secror iinancing mechanisms all deserve careful exploration.
POLICY 9: HOUSEHOLD a"ZARDOUS WASTES
A PROGR<\M FOR HOUSEHOLD R<\ZARDOUS \VASTES SHOuLD BE DEVELOPED
1;5
Policy 9. .4.n effecrive ongoing program should be developed to help educate households ineAlameda COUnty regarding household hazzrdous materials and 'Wzstes and the potential effects
when these wastes are discarded into landfills. The program must provide for effectively collecting
household hazardous Wastes. Funding for household hazardous waste programs should be sought
from the state, Alternatively, a modest surcharge could be added to existing f~s for garbage
coJjection and disposal under the provisions of AB 1809 (Tanner, 1986). Provisions should

Policy 10. Active public involvement, on the pan of both citizens and indusuy, in developing
and implementing the Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan is essential. It fOnTIS
the basis for a responsible program to protect public health, safety and welfare, and the
environment in order to move away from reliance on land disposal. The economic vitality of
:~.1ameda County can best be maintained through the cooperative involvement of local industry in
developing and implementing the plan. All sectors of the public, including large and small industry
and civic and environmental organizations, are encouraged to panicipate in plan development and
implementation. Alameda County, its' cities, special dismcts, and the "Waste Management
lUlthori'ry must all encourage active public involvement in the hazardous waste planning and siting
process.

constraints such as the Interstate Commerce Clause in the US. Constitution limit lo~
governments' ability to restrict use of privately-owned hazardous waste management facilities to
those generators located within their own jurisdictions. Therefore, sound hazardous waste
management planning, waste reduction efforts, and appropriate facility siting are the mutual
responsibility of all governments. .tUameda County, its cities, the special districts, and the Waste
Management Authority encourage multi-county and regional effons to plan and implement
alternatives to land disposal of hazardous wastes and to limit the risks posed by large-sc.aJe
transportation of hazardous wastes around the state. Local agencies will participate in and suppon

The County and its cities will act to provide for the safe, effective management of hazardous waste
generated within the county. New oifsite hazardous waste IDlUlllgement fucilities shall be primarilY
limited to a scale necessary to meet the hazardous waste management needs of this county: larger
facilities may be permitted in accordance with agreements reached between this county and other
. jurisdictions or upon. detennination of the local governing body that the project meetS local
pbmning criteria and serves public needs. The'faii share principle,' as defined below, will guide
the County's efforts to provide for the management of hazardous wastes generated within the
county.
..
The County and its CItIes recognize their collective responsibility to cooperate with other
governments in the region and the =e in planning for 1he effective IDlUlllgement of hazardous
'wastes e.enerated in the reman and the state in accordance with the hazardous waste manaQement
- - .....
hierarchy. Sound hazardous waste management planning, waste reduction efforts, and appropriate
facility siting are the mutual responsibility of all governments. To this end, the County and its cities
encourage multicounty and regional efforts to plan and implement alternatives to land disposal of
ur.:reated wastes and to limit the risks posed by transponation of hazardous wastes around the
state. A.greements for new facilities to provide the onsite capacity needed for 'hazardous waste
ueatment and residuals disposal should be reached among jurisdictions according to their fair share
of the ha.z3rdous waste stream, each jurisdiction's environmental suitability for different types of
facilities, their economic interests, and economic viability of different types and sizes of facilities.
imy privately-owned facility located in this county shall be available to serve generators from inside
and outside the County.
"Fair share" denotes that each county is responsible for the disposition of its ,.own waste; that is,
resDonsible for its share of waste manae.ement. A county cannot be required to accept a facility

equal to or in excess of the county's total hazardous waste managemem needs, the county will have

accept the siting of additional facilities except as provided by interjurisdictional agreement. The
COW1ty recognizes that if it does not fulfill its obligations under Implementation Objectives 1-3
below, coumy policy with regard to the siting of facilities, will be to permit siting. of
environInent211y appropriate facilities, otherwise consiStent with the Plan, without regard to the fair
sh:are principle.
The Fair Share language does not become operative until imerjurisdictional agreements are in
place.
SITTh'G CRITERl~
Any proposed specified hazardous waste management facility shall be consistent with the goals and
policies of this Plan. In particular, any proposed facility shall be consistent with the fair share
principle and with any inteIju~s~crional agreements on hazardous waste management. . .Local .'
needs are to be the pnmary basIS ror this decISlOl\ along vvnh regIonal COIIllIlltmems. Specmcal1y, _.
facilities are to be designed and sized primarily to meet the hazardous waste management needs of
this county, or to meet the countis broader commitmems under an interjurisdictional agreement
or upon detennination of the local governing body that the project mee!$local planning criteria and
serves public needs. . .
]}\rPLE1\1El'-,"7A nON OBJECTIVES
(1) . Siting Consistency: The coup.ty, and each city, shall require that all local land use
decisions on siting 'speci:fi~d hazardous 'waste management facilities are consiStent with the goals
and policies and the siting criteria comained in the Plan. Specifically, the county will approve the
siring of an environmentally appropriate facility that is consistent with the policies of this plan and
disapprove the siting of a facility that is inconsistent with plan policies or is environmentally
. -
mappropnate.
(2) County Actions: The county will actively seek to meet itS unmet hazardous waste
rr..anagement capacity needs through any combination of the following: waste reduction, facility
siting, and inte1jurisdictional agreementS. Proposals for hazardous waste managemem facilities will
receive the full anention of the county planning staff and governing body. The cGumy will continue
to actively seek to meet its hazardous waste management capacity needs until such time as the
coum:y has met those needs through any combination of Waste reduction, facility siting, or
imerjurisdictional agreements. . ,,_. \ .,

, (3) Focus of Interjurisdictional Agreement Negotiations: The county shall enter into
negotiations with other jurisdictions for the purpose of negotiating one or more interjurisdictional
agreements for the siting of hazardous waste management facilities adequate and necessary to meet
the needs of the signatory jurisdictions. Such agreements shall follow the principle offair share and
may take into account both the volumes and degree of hazard for the wastes generated that require
orrsite management within each panicipating jurisdiction and the degree of waste reduction effort
made by each participating jurisdiction.
lithe siting ofa particular type of hazardous waste management facility needed in this county is not
environmentally appropriate or economically viable, the county shall reach an agreement with one
or more other jurisdictions to facilitate the siting of a larger, environmentally appropriate and
economically viable facility (or facilities) to be located elsewhere. This county and its cities, in turn,
agree to actively consider and, if appropriate, to commit as part of an interjurisdictional agreement
to approve the siting of an environmentally appropriate facility (or facilities) within its o\\'"n borders
designed and sized to serve the hazardous waste management needs of other jurisdictions as well as
of this county.

MEETING C.A.P.A.CITY ~TEEDS
A. INTRODUCTION
Health and Safety Code Section 2513 5.1 (d)( 6) states that instead of identifying specific facilities
a11d sites, the County Hazardous Waste Management Plan (plan) may include siting criteria to be
used in selectinS! sites for new hazardous waste manaS!ement facilities. In that case the Plan must
- -
also "designate general areas where the criteria might be applicable." These general areas are to be
sho"WTI on maps hI the Plan.
The purpose of this Chapter is to describe the siting criteria and designate general areas where the
criteria might be applicable, to the extent possible. However, because of the small scale of the
maps (1" = 3 miles) and the fact that some of the criteria are not mappable, the maps cannot be
used to select a specific site for a facility, Before considering any specific site for a facility, whether
in a designated area or not, each developer should consult the local jurisdiction for site specific
data.
It is important to note that any proposed facility -will be subject not only to the criteria induded in
this plan., but also to the permining process of the local jurisdiction in which the facility is proposed.
Local permitting processes may be more stringent than the County criteria and are likely to require
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and preparation of a risk assessment.
B. SITING cRITERIA
The siting criteria are intended to apply to siting decisions in unincorporated areas of the county as
well as in incorporated cities. They are to be used whenever a land use decision is required to site
and construct a new onsite multi-user ha:,;ardous waste management facility, significantly expand
or modify an existing hazardous waste management facility, or expand or modify.an existing oDS.ite
hazardous waste management facility to become an offsite facility for other generators.
Siting criteria have been developed to identify potentially enviromnentally appropriate locations for
hazardous waste management facilities. These criteria will help facility developers conduct a
preiiminary screening of Siles and understand the major issues of concern 10 the community. The
criteria developed for ..\lameda County include major requirements of federal and State laws and
re!!Ulations and oflocal planning documents. Tnis should assist developers in findin!! locations that
- . - .-
are consistent Vvith current legal and policy requirementS.

Two categories of siting criteria have been developed for use in this Plan. They are as follows:
e:
~
.
.:
1.
Conditional: Designated facilities 1MY be located in areas that meet these criteria. if an
engineered SOlution can be found to mitigate potential incompatibilities between the facility
and surrounding land uses andlor potential impacts of the facility on its environment. Other
conditions could include funding an investigation, designing special mitigation features,
conduering a risk assessment to identify appropriate buffer zones, etc.
2. Exdusionary': Designated facilities cannot be located in areas described in these crite~a
due to incompatibility between the facility and the surrounding land area, based on
environmental, public servicelhealth, or land use constraints.
The criteria have been defined for three categories of facilities which have a potential to be sited in
iuameda County. The three types offacilities are as follows:
1.
Small-scale transfer and storage facilities: Facilities with wastestreams small enough to
be exempt from manifest requirements as described in California Health and Safety Code,
Division 20, Chapter 6.S, .';'..!1icle 6. Viasres from any given generator must not exceed a
total volume of five gallons or a total weight of 50 pounds. Household hazardous waste
collection facilities may be considered small scale at the option of each individual
jurisdiction.
.
2. Industrial transfer/storage/treatment facilities: Any hazardous waste management
facility which is not-a small-scale transfer and storage facility or a residuals repository. This
facility category includes but is not limited to:
a.
b.
Manifested wasre transfer station
Recycling facility
Aqueous treatment facility
Stabilization and solidification facility
Bioremediation
.'
c.
d.
e.
3. Residuals Repositories: A hazardous Vv-aste disposal facility for collection of residual
wastes, defined as the residues from hazardous waste treatment facilities after treatment,
and other irreducible stabilized or detoxi.:fied hazardous wastes.
Table 9-1 presents the criteria ior each of the three C2.tegories of iacilities described above.

C. CRITERIA. MAPPING ANl)
DESIGNATION OF GEN~RAL..illEAS
..,:,
AB-2948 and the DHS Guidelines require that counties which include siting criteria in their plans
must also idemii). "general areas where the criteria might be applicable" (QHS Guidelines, p. 3-11;
Sec. 25135.7 (a )(3), California Health and Saferv Code).
Several of the criteria shown in Table 9-1 are not mappable due to lack of infonnation, the scale of
the maps andlor the site specific nature ofthe criteria.
The mappable siting criteria are illustrated on Figures 9-1 through 9-8. Figures 9-1, 9-3, and 9-5
show land use, environmental, and high hazardJphysical criteria, respectively, for small-scale
transfer and storage facilities and industrial transfer/storage/treatment facilities. Figures 9-2, 9-4
and 9-6 show the same criteria for residuals repositories. Figures 9-7 and 9-8 are composite maps
shO\ving all areas meeting the mappable criteria for small-scale and industrial transfer/storage and
treatment facilities and residuals repositories, respectively. These are the designated general areas
where the criteria might be applicable.
The purpose ofthe siting criteria is to designate general areas only. Larger scale maps andJor field
investigations should be used by the developer to evaluate specific sites before permitting. .tuIy
pmposed facility meeting the general criteria will be required to comply with the California e:;,
Environmental Act and any applicable requirements of federal, regional, and local agencies and
jurisdictions, any of which may be more stringent than the general criteria included in this Plan.
The developer of a proposed facility will have to perfonn extensive evaluations to determine
whether a site satisfies all of the siting criteria
D. THE APPEALS PROCESS
AB 2948 created a new process to appeal local land-use decisions concerning hazardous waste
management facilities (Title 22, Sec. 25199.10, California Health and Safety Code). It is intended
to pro\-ide a regional or Statewide perspective to assure that the public health, safety and welfare
are adequately protected by new facilities, on the one hand, and on the other, to assure that an
enviiOnrnemally sound facility needed to serve the local area is not inappropriately denied by a local
iand-use authoriry. That is, the local area-i\.lameda County, its 14 cities and the JP A-is e>...-pected
to ful:5lJ its commitment to approve facilities piOposed which comply with these siting criteria
(inducing their conformance with local needs or inter-jurisdictional agreements). The state appeal
board has the .tulthority to overturn a local land-use decision concerning a multi-user hazardous
W2sre management facility which is found to be consistent with this Plan.

Three types of appeals are authorized. The developer can appeal a disapproval decision, or an
approval decision with such onerous restrictions that it amounts to disapproval. Alternative!y, an
interested person can appeal an approval on the grounds that the conditions imposed on the project
do not adequately protect the public health, safety, or welfare. An "interested person" is anyone
who attended a public meeting or hearing held on the project's application for a local land-use
decision. An appeal must be made to the Governor (or designee) within 30 days of the local
jurisdiction's final land-use decision on the project. The Governor (or designee) must determine
whether to authorize the appeal. In order for the appeal to be authorized, the developer must
demonstrate that all permits required from state agencies which can be obtained prior to project
construction have been obtained. Once those permits have been obtained and an appeal
authorized, the state Appeal Board is constituted.
The Appeal Board consists of seven members, five of them permanent and twO appointed only for
a specific appeal. Three permanent members corne from the state agencies that regulate hazardous
waste management in California: the Director of the Department of Health Services, the Chair of
the State \Vater Resources Control Board, and the Chair of the .till Resources Board. Two
permanent members are local elected officials, who serve four-year terms: a member of a county
board of supervisors appointed by the State Senate Comminee on Rules from a list of nominees by
the County Supervisors ..A..ssociation of Call1orrua (CSAC), and a member of a city council appoint-
ed by the Assembly Speaker from a list nominated by the League of California Cities (LCe), In
addition, two local elected officials are named to the Appeal Board to hear a particular appeal.
One is a member of the Board of Supervisors from the county where the project would be located,
and is appointed by the ..A..ssembly Speaker from a list nominated by CSAC. The other is a city
council member from the city where the project would be located (or, if the facility is proposed for
an unincorporated area, from the city which would be most directly affected), appointed by the
S_~nate Rules Committee from the list nominated by LCe. If a permanent member of tDe Appeal
Board is from the county where the project would be located, the temporary (i.e., ad hoc) member
must be from a different county.
\Vithin a month of an appeal being authorized by the governor, the Appeal Board holds a public
hearing in the ciry or county where the project would be located to heaT arguments from both the
lan.d-use author1ry and the developer (or interested parry). The Board must decide within 15 days
of this hearing whether to accept the appeal. An appeal of a local government disapproval of the
developer's application may be accepted by a vote of four Board .members if there is evidence that
there are compelling reasons to re\~ew the local decision when weighing the reasons for the local
der.ision agair.st statewide, region.a.l or county hzzardous waste management policies, goals, and
objectives. A.n appeal of a land-use approval Coy a developer appealing one or more onerous
conditions, or by an interested parry appealing a la:k of adequately protective conditions) may be
accepted by a vote of five Board members if there is a substantial likelihood of the appellant
prevailing on the merits of its appeal.a
If the Appeal Board accepts the anneal it convenes a second hearing in the affected city or county
to hear 'evidence. The ~atute pr~~d~s a specific th"11etable for holding the he~ng and issuing a
decision; it also provides guidelines for deciding the appeal. The Board must adopt the rebunable
presumption that the local land-use decision was correct and supponed by substantial reasons. To

overrurn a local land-use decision disapproving a project, the Board must make a number ofA-,
-mandatory findings which include: that the proposed project is consistent with the Plan, if one ~:~:_-
been adopted by the county and approved by the state; that the project's environmental impacts will
be mitigated; that the project, if not a land disposal unit, is consistent with the applicable general
plan; and that alternative locations evaluated in the project ErR. (and identified in the
state-approved Hazardous Waste Management Plan) have been adequately considered. If the
Appeal Board finds that one or more conditions imposed on the project by the land-use decision
are so onerous and restrictive that the imposition is the same as a disapproval, or that one or more
conditions necessary to protect public health, safety, or welfare should be imposed, it may approve
the appeal and require the local government to modify its decision accordingly.
..tuJ Appeal Board decision overruming a local land use decision may be enforced by referral to the
state Anorney General, if the local government does not modify its decision within 60 days.
