Management Plan
Shelly Badger stated Council heard from Gerald Tousley, Hazardous Waste
Specialist III, Thurston County (TC) Public Health and Social Services,
Environmental Health Department at the May 28, 2014 Study Session.
Communities including its citizens and businesses generated hazardous waste.
Under Washington State law, pursuant to RCW 70.105.220, all counties and cities
must develop a plan for the management of this waste. Each community is
required to maintain a plan for waste management; state law allows communities
to develop plans jointly. The City of Yelm is a participating member of the Solid
Waste Advisory Board (SWAC) and provided valuable input on oversight and
policy issues affecting solid waste matters for our region. Some of the core
services the Plan provides are household hazardous waste collection, household
and public education, business technical and collection assistance and recycling
outreach. The City of Yelm will enter into a joint plan with Thurston County,
Bucoda, Lacey, Olympia, Rainier, Tenino and Tumwater. Copies of the Plan were
made available throughout Thurston County and are available in its entirety at
http://www.co.thurston.was.us/health/ehhw/hwplan/index.htm1. Public comment
period was September 6, 2013 to September 20, 2013. The final step is for each
municipality to adopt the Plan and once adopted, it will be presented to the
Thurston County Board of Commissioners for their adoption. The Department of
Ecology receives the final plans after all participants have approved the plan.
Councilmember Garmann asked if there was a cost involved with adopting the
Plan. Ms. Badger stated there is no cost to the City of Yelm to adopt the Plan.
