<br />2020 Solid Waste and Moderate <br />Risk Waste Management Plan Update <br /> <br />1-4 AX0304191054PDX <br /> <br />Figure 1-1. Apple Maggot Quarantine Area Coverage of Kittitas County <br />Kittitas County complies with the quarantine rules by implementing four key elements: <br />1) A segregation program of MSW from MGW – As described above, Ellensburg curbside yard <br />waste goes to Ellensburg transfer station and is processed at the onsite composting facility. Self- <br />hauled MGW is brought to Ellensburg and processed onsite or Cle Elum transfer stations which is <br />hauled to the Ellensburg transfer station and processed onsite. MGW is 1/3 the price of MSW so <br />there is great incentive to segregate it. <br />2) Properly informed residents – The County attends various venues to educate the public about <br />proper MGW management. One method for proper MGW management is back yard composting. <br />More detail about Public Outreach and backyard composting resources can be found in Table 4-2 <br />and Section 4.4.4.1) <br />3) A monitoring program - At the transfer stations, the scale house attendant screens waste loads. <br />at the landfill, the landfill owner conducts a minimum of 5 spot checks per week. Their customers <br />are notified if MGW is found in a load. The landfill owner reports this has not been an issue. <br />4) Proper Containment for Transit – Residents are instructed to have covered loads as mandated by <br />the Solid Waste Ordinance 199-01 (Appendix C). The WUTC hauler loads are sealed in transit. <br />More detail about the permit to transport MSW out of a quarantine area is described in Section <br />6.3.2. <br />1.3.2 Solid Waste Handling Standards Chapter <br />New changes to sections 220,225 and 250 of 173-350 WAC (the “350” regulations) were adopted in <br />August 2018 that: <br /> Standardizes language and organization to improve usability and consistency across the rule. <br /> Improves user ability to identify solid wastes apart from commodities. <br /> Clarifies operational requirements and timeframes for managing solid wastes in piles. <br />King County <br />Non-Quarantine Yakima County <br />Quarantine <br />i"' <br />Douglas County <br />~~ <br />~~ <br />~~~ <br />~~ Grant County <br />~ <br />c ~lkm!lll)) <br />20 Miles <br />'
