Beginning on June 9, 1994 a county that has a solid waste management plan that provides for siting of disposal areas to fulfill a 20-year capacity need through use of a siting mechanism, is only required to use its siting mechanisms to site capacity to meet a 10-year capacity need. If any county is able to demonstrate to the department that it has at least 66 months of available capacity, that county may refuse to utilize its siting mechanism until the county is no longer able to demonstrate 66 months of capacity or until the county amends its plan in accordance with this part to provide for the annual certification process described in section 11538.
