Richard G. Skarritt, Chairperson
RE: 5269 (SUPPORT) PLACES NEEDED CONTROLS ON INTERSTATE
EXPORTATION OF SOLID WASTE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS there now exists a shortage of landfill space in the
United States for disposal of solid waste and all indications are that
the shortage will rapidly increase in severity; and
WHEREAS the densely populated eastern states are particularly
hard hit by the landfill shortage and are looking to other states for
disposal of their solid waste; and
WHEREAS Michigan is coping with its solid waste disposal
challenge in a responsible way but any importation of solid waste from
other states would present a serious problem that could be detrimental
to the statels environment and economy; and
WHEREAS efforts to curb importation of solid waste from other
states have been discussed at both the state and federal level and
now a bill (S269) that would place needed controls on interstate
exportation of solid waste is before the Congress; and
WHEREAS S269 would make it unlawful to transport in excess of
100 pounds of solid waste from one state to another unless the
receiving state or political subdivision thereof gives its consent; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Association of Counties is urging passage
of S269 and seeks support of all 83 counties in this effort.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners supports S269.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent
to the Michigan Congressional Delegation.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Government & Transportation
Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
