This plan was required by AB-2948 known as the lrTanner" bi1I.

The key policies of the plan include "a fair sharetr reguirement for new treatment facilities, requiring zoning conformance with the siting criteria, instituting an inventory program to identify haz- ardous waste generators, improving upon existing efforts to inves- tigate and prosecute violators, promoting waste reduction and as- sisting small quantity generators including a permanent household hazardous waste transfer station. The estimated cost for im- plementing these policies range between $300,000-400,000 per year. Burlingame's share is estimated at 4.5? or $14,000-18,000 a year.
