This review, and the permit process, is in keeping with the requirements of Chapter 90.58 RCW and the Code of Federal Regulations 44, Part 60. Any modifications to the current Solid Waste System that may take place near water bodies within the County should proceed in consultation with the County Planning Department, and in accordance with these policies. 1.5.4 Capital Facilities Plans The capital facilities plan is included in the County’s most recent Comprehensive Plan. 1.5.5 Emergency Management Plan The Kittitas County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (revised 2003) is for the use of officials in providing emergency management preceding, during, and following disasters.

The Kittitas County Disaster Debris Management Plan was prepared in 2014 and accepted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on May 12, 2015.
