RESOLUTION NUMBER 93-4605
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO
NEGOTIATIONS WITH MEMBER COUNTIES OF THE NORTH CENTRAL REGIONAL
PLANNING COMMISSION TOWARD INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS FOR THE
ACCEPTANCE OF SOLID WASTE FOR DISPOSAL IN THE SALINA LANDFILL.
WHEREAS, federal legislation contained in 40 CFR 258, commonly
referred to Subtitle D, outlines stringent requirements for design and
operation of municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) in order to protect human
health and the environment; and
WHEREAS, Subtitle D contains certain compliance deadlines which
must be met by all current owners and operators of MSWLFs; and
WHEREAS, state legislation contained in KSA 65-3401 et. seq. outlines
state of Kansas policy and requirements for the comprehensive management of
solid waste within the State; and
WHEREAS, these federal and state requirements present especially
difficult and costly challenges for solid waste management in smaller rural
counties currently operating MSWLFs; and
WHEREAS, there is established under state law the North Central
Regional Planning Commission (NCRPC), of which the city of Salina is an active
member; and
WHEREAS, certain NCRPC member counties have approached the City
of Salina, individually and through the NCRPC, inquiring as to the possibility
of disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) at the Salina landfill if they
decide to close their own MSWLFs due to the extensive Subtitle D requirements;
and
WHEREAS, regionalization of solid waste planning is strongly
encouraged by the State of Kansas; and
WHEREAS, City of Salina staff and consultant studies have determined
that additions of up to approximately 115 tons per day of MSW above that
currently disposed of in the Salina landfill would not be detrimental to the
public health, environment, the city's operating capacity or the future
availability of adequate solid waste disposal areas for Saline County; and
WHEREAS, the Salina City Commission wishes to establish certain
general guidelines and direction to city staff to be used in future discussions
and considerations of acceptance at the Salina landfill of MSW generated
outside Saline County, but within the NCRPC region; SO NOW, THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED by the Governing Body of the City of Salina,
