The City of Yakima (City) desires to amend the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Yakima County to adopt the 2023 Yakima County Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Plan (Plan). Pursuant to the provisions of RCW Chapter 70A.205 and RCW Chapter 70.105, Yakima County is required to prepare and update the Solid Waste Management Plan and provide a local Hazardous Risk Waste Management Plan.
The Plan has been updated to conform to changes in the State and Federal requirements and to include recommended management strategies for solid and hazardous waste for the period 2023 through 2029. In addition, the Plan also looked forward to ensure that sufficient processing and disposal capacity will be available for at least the next twenty year. Upon review of the Plan, the City determined that additional terms and conditions were necessary.
Yakima County Solid Waste Advisory Committe has recommended adoption of the 2023 Yakima County Solid Waste Management Plan. The amendment to the ILA with Yakima County has been enclosed for City Council review. A copy of the 2023 Yakima County Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Plan is available online at:
