Dear Mr. Chi,
Redesignation of Local Enforcement Agency for Solid Waste Management
This letter serves as a second reminder to a notice sent during July 2007 to seek your city's support and
cooperation in redesignating the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Environmental
Health, Solid Waste Management Program (SWMP), as the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA)
responsible for enforcing all laws and regulations relating to the management of solid waste in your city.
In July of 2006, the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS), reorganized and the
Department of Public Health (DPH) was formed. Within DPH is the Los Angeles County Department of
Environmental Health, SWMP, LEA. The LEA is currently authorized and designated under DHS in
your city to enforce all laws and regulations relating to solid waste disposal, handling, and transport.
This letter is to request that the governing body in your city provide the designation/approval for the
SWMP to act as the LEA within your city under DPH, and provide a certified copy of this designation to
the LEA.
Please contact me at (626) 430-5542 if you have any questions or need further information.
Sincerely,
John Kaddis, EHS IV
Los Angeles County Solid Waste Management Program
