Description of Proposal: The Plan is intended to help Thurston County achieve its vision of an
environment free of health concerns related to hazardous material production,use and disposal. The 2013
Plan updates earlier plans adopted in 1998 and 1991, presenting an updated strategy for improving the
management of hazardous materials in Thurston County homes and businesses. Since 1998 the amount
of hazardous materials collected has grown and new trends have emerged. The updated Plan helps ensure
that services meet changing local conditions, needs and priorities. The Plan addresses these issues
through components related to public education, household and business collection of hazardous wastes,
technical assistance and enforcement.
Approval Process: Prior to implementation, a resolution for adoption must be signed by Thurston
County and the Cities of Bucoda, Lacey, Olympia, Rainier, Tenino, Tumwater and Yelm. The Plan is
scheduled to be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for adoption on October 5, 2013. Upon
adoption by the participating jurisdictions,the Plan will be submitted to the Washington State Department
of Ecology for approval under state law. Comments on the Plan will be considered prior to adoption by
the County. The Thurston County Solid Waste Advisory Board has recommended approval of the Plan.
