... and 1990 when it ...

I feel awkward about the red part. The two parts connected by "and" are not even parallel or similar in structure. Could you say something about this? Or make it better? Thanks.

After that, however, there was a gradual decline until 1989 and 1990 when it stabilized at about 11 million tons.

Well, the writer seems unsure of the date, but if you place a comma after 1990, it reads OK to me. I see no need for a parallel structure.
