Universal Citation: 14 CA Code of Regs 18744

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

(a) For the initial SRRE the Solid Waste Facility Capacity Component shall identify and describe all existing permitted solid waste landfills and transformation facilities within the jurisdiction. This description shall contain the following:

(1) identification of the owner and operator of each permitted solid waste disposal facility;

(2) quantity and waste types of solid waste disposed;

(3) permitted site acreage;

(4) permitted capacity;

(5) current disposal fees; and

(6) for solid waste landfills, remaining facility capacity in cubic yards and years.

(b) The Solid Waste Facility Capacity Component shall include a solid waste disposal facility needs projection which estimates the additional disposal capacity, in cubic yards per year, needed to accommodate anticipated solid waste generation within the jurisdiction for a 15-year period commencing in 1991.

(1) The solid waste disposal capacity needs projection for the initial SRRE shall be calculated based upon the solid waste generation projection conducted in accordance with section 18722, of Article 6.1 of this Chapter.

(2) The disposal capacity needs projection for the 15 year period shall be calculated using the following equation:

ADDITIONAL CAPACITY

Year n = [ (G + I) - (D + TC + LF + E) ] Year n

where:

G = The amount of solid waste projected to be generated in the jurisdiction;

I = The amount of solid waste which is expected to be imported to the jurisdiction for disposal in permitted solid waste disposal facilities through interjurisdictional agreement(s) with other cities or counties, or through agreements with solid waste enterprises, as defined in section 40193 of the Public Resources Code.

D = The amount diverted through successful implementation of proposed source reduction, recycling, and composting programs.

TC = The amount of volume reduction occurring through available, permitted transformation facilities.

LF = The amount of permitted solid waste disposal capacity which is available for disposal in the jurisdiction, of solid waste generated in the jurisdiction.

E = The amount of solid waste generated in the jurisdiction which is exported to solid waste disposal facilities through interjurisdictional agreement(s) with other cities, counties or states, or through agreements with solid waste enterprises, as defined in section 40193 of the Public Resources Code.

n = each year of a 15 year period commencing in 1991. [iterative in one year increments]

(1) The solid waste disposal facilities within the jurisdiction which will be phased out or closed during the short-term and medium-term planning periods and the anticipated effect from such phase-out or closure on disposal capacity needs of the jurisdiction.

(2) Plans to establish new or expanded facilities for the short-term and medium-term planning periods and the projected additional capacity of each new or expanded facility.

(3) Plans to export waste to another jurisdiction for the short-term and medium-term planning periods and the projected additional capacity of proposed export agreements.
