5. SOLID AND MODERATE RISK WASTE PLANNING HISTORY

5.1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter of the Douglas County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) outlines the history of solid and moderate risk waste planning within the Regional Planning Area (RPA).

5.2 WASTE PLANNING HISTORY IN THE RPA

5.2.1 Chelan-Douglas Solid Waste Management Plans

Separate solid waste management plans for Chelan and Douglas Counties were adopted in 1972. Douglas

County updated its solid waste management plan independently of Chelan County in 1975. In 1982, Chelan and Douglas Counties combined again to complete a regional solid waste management plan. The goal of the 1982 solid waste management plan was “to eliminate uneconomical, unhealthy and hazardous situations associated with waste disposal by developing an effective economical and totally coordinated waste management system that meets the present and future needs of the two-county area.” With the adoption of the 1982 solid waste management plan, all public owned landfills within the region were scheduled to be closed to the public. All regional solid waste was directed to the Greater Wenatchee Regional Landfill and

Recycling Facility (GWRLF), a privately owned and operated landfill. In conjunction with Okanogan

County, a transfer station was constructed at the Bridgeport Bar Landfill.

The 1982 solid waste management plan was updated in 1989. The goal of the 1989 solid waste management plan was “to develop an economical and coordinated two-county solid waste management system that meets the needs of the present and future citizens of the area, while at the same time eliminating practices that may cause environmental degradation and foster unhealthy and hazardous situations.” Since the 1989 SWMP was prepared, many, but not all, of the recommendations have been implemented. In 1992 the Chelan-Douglas Health District developed a separate Solid Waste Program under the division of

Environmental Health. In 1992 it was determined that transporting solid waste to the GWRLF was more economical than building a new transfer station at the Pine Canyon Landfill site.

5.2.2 1991 Chelan-Douglas Moderate Risk Waste Management Plan (MRWP)

In November 1991 the Chelan-Douglas Moderate Risk Waste Management Plan (MRWP) was adopted to satisfy the responsibilities of Chelan and Douglas Counties and their cities and towns under the Hazardous

Waste Management Act (HWMA). This joint-county MRWP met the requirements of Chapter 70.105

RCW. The adopted Chelan-Douglas MRWP outlined a strategy for properly managing household hazardous wastes, small quantity generator wastes, and agricultural wastes within the two-county area. At the request of Chelan County, the joint-county planning effort was terminated in July 1993. However, the

Douglas County Solid Waste Program Office (DCSWPO) has continued to implement the recommendations identified within the adopted Chelan-Douglas MRWP. In September, 1999 the DCSWPO asked and received approval from the Department of Ecology (DOE) to combine an updated Douglas County MRWP into the SWMP.

5.2.3 1994 Douglas County Used Oil Recycling Element

In March 1994 the Douglas County Used Oil Element (UOE) was adopted as an amendment to the Chelan-

Douglas MRWP. The UOE met the requirements of Chapter 70.95I RCW and guides the management of household used oil within the RPA. The UOE addresses the existing management conditions, objectives and alternatives, and presents recommendations to enhance the management of used oil in the RPA. The goal of the adopted UOE was to protect the groundwater within the RPA by eliminating the discharge of used oil onto the ground or into the solid waste stream, and the environment through indiscriminate disposal. In September 1999, the DCSWPO asked and received approval from the Washington State

Department of Ecology (DOE) to combine an updated UOE into the SWMP.


5.2.4 1994 Douglas County Solid Waste Management Plan (DCSWMP)

In May 1994, the Douglas County Solid Waste Management Plan (DCSWMP) was adopted by the

Participating Jurisdictions (Douglas County, City of East Wenatchee, City of Rock Island, Town of

Mansfield, and Town of Waterville) to satisfy the requirements of Chapter 70.95 RCW. The adopted

DCSWMP outlined a strategy for properly managing solid wastes within the RPA. The goals of the adopted

DCSWMP were to:

 manage solid waste in a manner that promotes, in order of priority; a.

waste reduction (which includes reuse); b.

recycling, with source-separation of recyclables as the preferred method; c.

energy recovery, incineration or land filling of separated wastes; d.

energy recovery, incineration or land filling of mixed wastes.

 encourage public involvement and ensure the representation of the public in the planning process;

 increase public awareness of the importance of waste reduction and recycling;

 emphasize local responsibility for solving problems associated with solid waste, rather than relying on the federal or state government to provide solutions;

 establish a recycling goal of 25%.

5.2.5 2002 Douglas County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan

(SWMP)

The 1994 DCSWMP was required to be updated by December 1999. However, the DOE did not publish its

Guidelines for the Development of Local Solid Waste Management Plans and Plan Revisions until

December 1999. Therefore, the DCSWPO did not formally begin the updating process until January 2000.

In July 2002, the Douglas County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) was adopted to satisfy the responsibilities of the Participating Jurisdictions under the Solid Waste Management Reduction and Recycling Act. The SWMP met the requirements of Chapter 70.95 RCW. The adopted SWMP outlined a strategy for properly managing solid wastes within the RPA. The goals of the adopted SWMP were to:

 manage the solid waste system in a manner that protects the public health, safety and the environment within the RPA;

 manage the solid waste system within the RPA in an efficient and cost effective manner;

 ensure that the plan reflects local conditions within the RPA;

 support the local economy by maximizing the use of local resources, capabilities and markets within the RPA;

 support waste reduction, beneficial use and recycling within the RPA;

 increase public awareness of solid waste issues within the RPA;

 encourage additional solid waste facilities within the RPA to enhance waste reduction and recycling;

5.2.6 2010 Douglas County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan

(SWMP)

As required by Chapter 70.95 RCW the 2002 adopted SWMP was required to be updated by December

31 st , 2008. However, due to the uncertainty of the ‘proposed’ GWRLF expansion the Countywide Solid

Waste Program Office (SWPO), in July 2007, requested that the DOE approve a one year extension. On

July 18 th , 2007 the DOE officially extended the deadline for a completed SWMP until December 31 st , 2009.

In 2008 the SWPO requested that the DOE approve an additional one year extension based upon the delay in permitting the GWRLF expansion. On August 14 th , 2008 the DOE officially extended the deadline for a completed SWMP until December 31 st , 2010. In September 2010, the updated SWMP was officially adopted to satisfy the responsibilities of the Participating Jurisdictions under the Solid Waste Management

Reduction and Recycling Act. The SWMP met the requirements of Chapter 70.95 RCW. This adopted
