The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (also known as AB 939), requires each county to prepare a countywide siting element that describes how the county and the cities within the county plan to manage the disposal of their solid waste for a 15 year planning period.
The existing Los Angeles County Countywide Siting Element (CSE) published in 1997, was approved by the majority of the cities within the County which contains majority of the population, the Board of Supervisors, and California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), predecessor of the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) on June 24, 1998.
The Revised CSE document describes each of the existing and planned solid waste disposal and management sites available for use by jurisdictions in Los Angeles County, and offers goals, policies, and strategies through which current and future solid waste management infrastructure needs can be met in a comprehensive and environmentally sustainable manner.
