2010 Hazardous Waste Management Plan Update

The Local Hazardous Waste Management Program (Program) is a coalition of local governments. Our mission is to protect and enhance public health and the environment by reducing the threat posed by the production, use, storage and disposal of hazardous materials.

The Program has updated its plan for the first time since 1997. Public comment was solicited on the draft plan from December 16, 2009 to February 16, 2010. Program staff revised the draft based on the public comments that were received.

The revised document was approved by the Program's Management Coordination Committee on March 16, 2010 and by the King County Board of Health on April 15, 2010. The 2010 Plan update has been sent to the Washington State Department of Ecology for their final approval, which is anticipated by mid to late 2010. At that time the 2010 Plan Update will be widely distributed.

A copy of the Board of Health approved version of the Plan Update and technical appendices can be downloaded form this site. Appendix G lists the public comments that were received and the Program’s responses to those comments. If you have questions or need more information, please contact our Household Hazards Information line at 206-296-4692 or 1-888-869-4233.
