Findings and Recommendations 3 findings
F1
– The “Countywide Waste Integrated Management Plan Documents” website page descriptions makes it difficult to identify the most current approved and accurate information. Although the documents were marked with a date, many of the titles referenced qualifying words such as “Preliminary Draft,” “Draft,” and “Final Draft.”

R1
– Resource Management improve the transparency on the website by posting only the most current approved version for the benefit of both agencies and citizens of the County. Older versions should be archived to a separate location in the event they are needed.
F2
– In compliance with AB 939, the Board of Supervisors established the Solano County Integrated Waste Management Task Force in 1990. The County’s website for the task force does not appear to be updated since 2018. Review of 24 posted Agendas between April 2015 and May 2019 indicates 11 meetings were cancelled. The most recent meeting minutes available online are from September 13, 2018 (indicating no meetings have been held in at least 4 ½ years), of which only 13 of 24 member organizations listed were present. This lack of consistent meeting reporting reduces the transparency of the Task Force activities and potentially impacts environmental safety of the County.

R2
– Establish a standing meeting schedule for Resource Management’s Integrated Waste Management Section to keep members engaged and informed. Consideration be given to meeting on a semi-annual or annual basis, at a minimum. Additionally, a current roster of members and the Task Force’s update By-Laws be posted to the website for access by the public.
F3
– The City of Rio Vista failed to comply with all required reporting regulations to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding the closed dump site. Such reports may identify hazards to the land, waterways, and residents around the site.
