Staff Summary

•                     On February 9, 1993, the County Board authorized the execution of a Delegation Agreement with the IEPA for a solid waste management site inspection and enforcement program.

•                     The Delegation Agreement has been renewed six times and the current agreement is set to expire June 30, 2016.

•                     IEPA just recently provided the County with a revised Delegation Agreement, referred to as an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), for a five year period, set to expire on June 30, 2021.

•                     The process to review, provide comments and collaborate with the IEPA, on the IGA, surpassed the timeframe to bring it to County Committees and the County Board Meeting on June 14, 2016.
