WHEREAS, The 1985 amendments to the State Hazardous Waste Management

WHEREAS, local government may choose to either (1) include a hazardous
waste element in their solid waste plans, or (2) develop
hazardous waste plans seperately from their solid waste
plans recognizing that if a county or city chooses not to
combine the two plans, both plans should discuss the connection
between the plans.
WHEREAS, all local governments must prepare 20-year solid waste
management plans with the conditions that unless a city or
town has its own disposal site, it must cooperate with a county
in the development of.a county or regional plan. This is
explained in the Solid Waste Management-Recovery and Recyling
Act.
"Each city shall:
1. Prepare and deliver to the county auditor of
the county, in which it is located, its plans
for its own solid waste management for inte-
gration into the comprehensive county plan; or
2. Enter into an agreement with the county pursuant
to which the city shall participate in preparing
a joint city-county plan for solid waste manage-
ment; or
3. Authorize the county to prepare a plan for the
city's solid waste management for inclusion in
the comprehensive. county plan."
As stated in RCW 70.95.130, "Any city preparing an independent
plan shall provide for disposal sites wholly within its
