2 5 6. Include an assessment of current programs and a description of actions with respect to: a. Education* b. Management of Special wastes N c. Prevention of illegal disposal and management of litter N d. Purchase of recycled materials 7. Include a description and assessment of the full cost of solid waste management and methods of financing those costs N. 8. Consider the use of private sector solid waste management and resources and facilities.* We have placed an asterisk next to those elements which have already been accomplished and for which data are readily available. There are several aspects of the planning process that will involve significant data gathering efforts by each local jurisdiction. We have placed an N next to those elements. As part of the action plan outlined in this memorandum, we will request that the Owners Group authorize Solid Waste Department Staff to request staff cooperation from each local jurisdiction to gather the information required to complete the plan. Over the next three months, the staff expects to devote considerable time and effort to preparing the state plan and refining the elements of the integrated plan agreed on by the members of the Owners Group. In our opinion, the integrated plan addresses primarily item 3 in the list of items to be included in the state plan. The staff work will consist of completing and refining costs and implementation estimates for item 3 as well the other elements of the State Plan requirements that need further work An example is if the local ordinances for control of illegal dumping and littering were to be changed to enable easier prosecution of dumpers and litterers, additional staff work would be required. Discussion The focus of the discussion section is on those elements of the state plan listed above on which the Owners Group has not yet acted or where the staff has not already gotten the necessary information or needs local government efforts to gather the information. The elements that require additional Owners Group attention are referred to below by the same number as in the list above. Any item not referenced is an item that has been accomplished or can be accomplished by Solid Waste Department staff. We have also presented a timetable for adopting the elements necessary to complete the state plan coincident with the integrated plan schedule already adopted by the Owners Group. Even if the Owners Group schedule is met, submitting a 100% completed state plan will be difficult by the July 1 deadline. We will make every effort at full compliance.
