TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGERy
DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 2002
RE: RESOLUTION NO. 2002 -09 — A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD SUPPORTING CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE PUENTE
HILLS LANDFILL
The City of Rosemead has the responsibility for ensuring the provision of solid waste management
programs for its residents and businesses. These programs include recycle /reuse programs to divert
waste from disposal, as well as, disposal services for wastes not diverted. The County Sanitation
Districts, of which Rosemead is a member, provides cost- effective, environmentally sound waste
diversion and disposal programs to cities throughout the County. The Sanitation Districts' mission
includes operation of landfills like the Puente Hills Landfill.
The Sanitation Districts is periodically required to renew its permit for the continued operation of the
Puente Hills Landfill. The permitting process requires the Sanitation Districts receive public
comments before initiating the renewal request with the Los Angeles County Planning Commission
for its consideration, and culminating with final review by the California Integrated Waste
Management Board. A hearing has been held and the Sanitation Districts considered public input
before approving the filing of the permit renewal application with the Planning Commission.
The availability of cost - effective landfill facilities is required for Rosemead to provide affordable
waste management programs to residents and businesses. The continued operation of the Puente
Hills Landfill, for its remaining capacity of 38 million tons at currently permitted weekly and daily
disposal limits, will ensure the availability of adequate landfill capacity for another decade. The
Sanitation Districts' new permit will provide continued funding for open space preservation and
numerous mitigation measures to balance the public service need with environmental considerations.
Additionally, the continued operation of the Puente Hills Landfill will provide funding to transition
to a waste -by -rail system to provide long -term disposal needs for the future.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2002 -09 supporting the continued operation of the Puente Hills Landfill.
