IN RE: SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - CERTIFICATION OF AVAILABLE DISPOSAL CAPACITY
ACT 451 NON-HAZARDOUS SOLID WASTES SPRING, 2002
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County's 1994 Amendments to the 1990 Solid Waste Management Plan Update
require that annually, on or before June 30, the Board demonstrate and certify available remaining
disposal capacity for all Act 451 non-hazardous solid wastes generated within the County; and
WHEREAS a finding that sufficient capacity is available (more than 66 months beyond June 30) equates
to a moratorium during the following year on the use of the interim siting mechanism contained in the
1994 Amendments for the siting of additional landfill capacity in the County; and
WHEREAS Act 451 as amended, concludes that failure to adopt a required annual certification is
equivalent to a finding that less than a sufficient amount of capacity is available and the interim siting
mechanism will then be operative on the first day of the following January; and
WHEREAS a review has been conducted of the current and projected Act 451 non-hazardous waste
stream generated within the county, the current volume reduction efforts being achieved by the County's
residents and businesses, current inter-county flow arrangements and of available remaining disposal
capacity both within the County and within nearby counties; and
WHEREAS the analysis contained in the County Executive's report titled "Demonstration of Available
Disposal Capacity - June 13, 2002" shows clearly that disposal capacity is available for the County's Act
451 non-hazardous waste stream beyond December 31, 2007 (which date is 66 months beyond June 30,
2002) as is summarized on the Exhibit attached.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby certifies
that sufficient disposal capacity exists so that the interim siting mechanism for the siting of additional
landfill capacity within the County as contained within the 1994 Amendments to the 1990 Solid Waste
Management Plan Update will not become operational until January 1, 2004 or later, such date to be
identified in a future certification.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Planning and Building Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.

WHEREAS in the winter of 2001 the Oakland County Waste Resource Management Division began
implementing aspects the of REAP2 project utilizing general fund monies earmarked for this activity which
were intended to serve both as match monies for any award as well as funding for non-eligible project
activities; and
WHEREAS in the spring of 2001 the Oakland County Waste Resource Management Division was notified of
its selection as a grantee of $80,000 and began negotiations with the Environmental Assistance Division of
the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to clarify work plan, budget, eligible grant activities, and
the like, finally concluding the negotiations acceptably in May of 2002; and
WHEREAS the terms of the project agreement call for the use of recycled content products when available.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby accepts

IN RE: SHERIFF DEPARTMENT – PRIMARY PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINT (PSAP) FOR
WIRELESS 9-1-1 CALLS ORIGINATING FROM COMMERCIAL MOBILE RADIO SERVICE (CMRS)
TOWER SITES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office functions as the Primary Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) for wireless 9-1-1 calls originating from commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) tower sites in
the area of Oakland County north of a line following approximately M-59; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff’s dispatch center currently handles approximately 120,000 such calls per year,
and those calls are increasing by an estimated 50% per year; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff’s dispatch center receives these wireless 9-1-1 calls on seven digit telephone lines
that do not provide data to assist in identifying the caller and his/her location; and
WHEREAS the CMRS, under Phase I of the Federal Communications Commission Docket 94-102, are
now able to provide data regarding the wireless 9-1-1 caller’s call-back number and the location of the
tower site processing the call; and
WHEREAS the CMRS can only provide this valuable information if the call is received via a 9-1-1 trunk
rather than a seven digit telephone line; and
WHEREAS this information is often vital in an emergency in which the caller is disconnected or is not
certain of the location; and
WHEREAS the 9-1-1 network provider is considered a tariff that may eliminate the annual trunk costs and
replace those costs with a “per transaction” fee for wireless 9-1-1 calls; and
WHEREAS any such tariff will only impact the network costs, and will not impact the need for or cost of
the PSAP equipment; and
WHEREAS to implement Phase I of the Federal Communications docket 94-102, the Sheriff’s Office is
requesting the additional PSAP equipment and 9-1-1 trunks necessary.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves the
acquisition of the PSAP equipment and 9-1-1 trunks necessary for implementation of Phase I wireless in
the portion of the County for which the Sheriff’s Dispatch Center serves as primary wireless PSAP.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT OF H.R. 1927 - SOLID WASTE INTERNATIONAL
TRANSPORTATION ACT OF 2001
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS H.R. 1927, which is cited as the Solid Waste International Transportation Act of 2001 -
amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act to gives States the authority to enact laws prohibiting or limiting the
importation of foreign trash; and
WHEREAS in 2000, Canadians sent 4.2 million cubic yards of waste to Michigan, or 7.5% of all garbage
sent to Michigan landfills. This amounted to 45% of all imported trash. The 4.2 million cubic yards from
Canada is an 80% increase from 1999; and
WHEREAS 15% of the trash imported to Washington and New York originates from Canada; and
WHEREAS 44% of the trash imported into Oakland County originates from Canada; and
WHEREAS Canada originates100% of the trash imported into Genessee County and 99.9% of the trash
imported into Washtenaw County; and
WHEREAS a Supreme Court decision in 1978, City of Philadelphia v. New Jersey, struck down a New
Jersey statute which prohibited the importation of most out of state waste, partially on the basis that the
Federal Solid Waste Disposal Act, had no "clear and manifest purpose of Congress to preempt the entire
field of interstate waste, either by express statutory command, or by implicit legislative design;" and
WHEREAS H.R. 1927 is being considered by the United States Congress to give states the authority to
forbid foreign waste by amending the Solid Waste Disposal Act; and
WHEREAS the expert attorneys in Washington D.C. have agreed that case law and the Commerce
Clause of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the ability to authorize states to regulate interstate or
foreign commerce in ways they could not without congressional authorization; and
WHEREAS giving states the authority to prohibit or limit foreign trash falls under the authority given to
Congress.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
express its support for the passage of H.R. 1927 - Solid Waste International Transportation Act of 2001
and the amendment of the Solid Waste Disposal Act to authorize states to enact laws prohibiting or
limiting the importation of foreign trash.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this adopted resolution be forwarded to the Governor, the
Environment and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee, Oakland
County's United States Senators and Congressional delegation, the Michigan Association of Counties,
