By Commissioner Donn -L. Wolf -
IN RE: (SUPPORT) CONGRESSIONAL ACTION RESTORING MICHIGAN'S AUTHORITY TO CONTROL THE FLOW OF SOLID
WASTE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS on June 1, 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Fort Gratiot Sanitary Landfill v.
St. Clair County and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources that states and local governmental
units do not have the power to determine acceptance or rejection of solid waste from other states;
and
WHEREAS in effect, the Supreme Court decision struck down the provisions of Michigan's
Solid Waste Mangement Act„(P.A. 641 of 1978), which allowed Michigan to control the flow of solid
waste between counties and between the State of Michigan and other states; and
198
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 23, 1992
WHEREAS for 10 years Michigan has had an effective statewide solid waste management
planning program which incorporated local concerns through county planning efforts and this process
has provided Michigan citizens with a means to ensure environmentally sound, cost effective solid
waste management; and
WHEREAS as a result of the balanced requirements of its solid waste management program,
Michigan has been one of the few states in the nation in which new solid waste disposal facilities
have been located and constructed in recent years; and
WHEREAS without the ability of a state, through its local governmental units, to have the
authority to accept or reject solid waste from other states, local communities face a potentially
serious problem as states with little or no remaining landfill capacity look elsewhere for disposal
of their solid waste; and
WHEREAS several bills are now before Congress proposing reauthorization of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCA) but none of this legislation in its present form addresses the
inter-state waste problem caused by the Supreme Court decision; and
WHEREAS federal action related to RCRA is needed to surmount the Supreme Court's decision
and negate federal mandates and restore to states the decision to either accept or reject
out-of-state waste; and
WHEREAS such legislation would restore to Michigan and its Counties the ability to control
the flow of solid waste through import restrictions; and
WHEREAS such legislation would allow Michigan and its local units of government effective
implementation of the Michigan Solid Waste Management Act (P.A. 641).
WHEREAS Governor Engler and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources have joined the
Michigan Association of Counties, Michigan Townships Association and Michigan Municipal League in
the effort to restore all solid waste authority provided by Act 641.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports
federal enabling legislation that will permit restoration of Michigan's authority to control solid
waste.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the President of the
United States, the Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, members of the Michigan
Congressional Delegation, Governor Engler, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Solid Waste
Management Unit, the Michigan Association of Counties, and each of its member counties.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
