Enactment #:
Title:
Ordinance amending the Environment Code to eliminate the requirement that certain drugs (“covered
drugs”) be disposed of at either a permitted hazardous waste disposal facility or permitted large
municipal waste combustor, as those terms are defined by Environmental Protection Agency
regulations, or at a facility that provides equivalent or superior environment and human health
protection to such facilities, and to instead require that covered drugs be disposed of at a waste
disposal facility operating in compliance with all local, state, and federal requirements applicable to
that waste disposal facility; to require regular reporting of the compliance status of disposal facilities
used; to change drug wholesalers’ obligation to update the City’s list of covered drug producers from
an annual update to an update on request of the Environment Department’s Director; to remove the
requirement that operators of a drug stewardship plan receive prior approval of a change in
manufacturers, and instead add a requirement that such operators receive prior approval of a change
in disposal facilities used; and affirming the Planning Department’s determination under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
