Office of the City Manager Paula Reeve, Public Services Assistant SUBJECT: Adoption of County of Santa Clara Countywide Nondisposal Facility Element 1. Hold the public hearing. 2. Adopt Resolution approving the County of Santa Clara Countywide Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE) as the City of Saratoga's NDFE. In 1989 the State adopted AB 939 which requires municipalities to adopt plans identifying strategies to reduce landfilled waste by 25% in 1995 and 50% by the year 2000. These plans are called Source Reduction Recycling Elements (SRREs), and Household Hazardous Waste Elements (HHWEs). The Elements are included in a Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. Public Resource Code Section 41730 et seq, requires cities and counties to prepare and adopt another Element, the Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE), for all existing or proposed nondisposal facilities which are required to implement local SRREs. To assist the jurisdictions of Santa Clara County to meet this requirement, the Santa Clara County Integrated Waste Management Program staff has prepared the attached NDFE for adoption. The NDFE identifies recycling and yard waste composting facilities and transfer stations necessary to implement local diversion goals. A nondisposal facility does not include landfills. In some cases, however, these facilities are located at landfill sites. Table I identifies the facilities currently utilized by each jurisdiction. When approving and adopting an NDFE, the City is not required to receive approval from other jurisdictions, nor is the City required to revise its previously adopted SRRE to make these documents consistent with subsequently adopted NDFEs. The NDFE will be incorporated into the SRRE at the time of the first five-year revision. State law requires that at least one public hearing be held prior to adopting the NDFE. A notice was placed in the Mercury News advising the public of this hearing, in accordance with state regulations. r TABLE I.

The 70 -acre Facility (46 acres permitted for landfilling) is owned and operated by Zanker Road Resource Management Limited. The Facility is permitted to accept an unlimited amount of non - hazardous and non - liquid solid wastes (except wet garbage) for processing each day. These wastes consist mainly of construction and demolition debris, (such as soil, asphalt, concrete, rebar and wood waste) yard waste, metals, glass, plastic, and paper. The primary activities conducted at the Facility involve extensive resource recovery and recycling. Currently, there are five recycling operations that take place at the Facility: (1) sorting, splitting, chipping, screening, composting, stockpiling, and resale of wood waste; (2) separating, crushing, stockpiling, and resale of concrete waste; (3) separating recyclable materials from the incoming waste stream; (4) remediation of contaminated soils to reduce contamination to acceptable levels so the soils can be used for on -site construction or daily cover; (5) processing, screening, composting, and resale of yard waste compost products. The Facility also uses a portable picking line when necessary to assist in recovery operations. The residual solid waste after processing is landfilled using an area fill method. . FACILITY CAPACITY: The Facility is permitted to landfill a maximum of 350 tons of inert waste per day. In 1993, approximately 50 tons of inert waste were landfilled each day. ESTIMATED DIVERSION RATE: Based on 1993 gate records, the Facility received approximately 675 tons of waste per day for processing. In 1993, over 90% (usually between 92% and 96 %) of the material was diverted from landfilling. JURISDICTIONS SERVED: The Facility serves all of Santa Clara County. FACILITY LOCATION: The Facility is located on Los Esteros Road, off of Highway 237, in north San Jose, near the southeastern end of the. San Francisco Bay (see the *attached map). • • FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action.

Rod Diridon, Dianne McKenna 6) aon 0 BACKGROUND is The California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939) requires cities and counties to prepare, adopt, and implement Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRREs) and Household Hazardous Waste Elements (F HWEs). It also requires counties to prepare a Countywide Siting Element. All of these Elements are to be included in a Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. In 1992, the California legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3001 (Cortese) which amended the Act. '/�PRC Section 41730 et seq, requires California cities and counties to prepare and adopt another Element, the Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE), for all existing or proposed nondisposal facilities which will be needed to implement local SRREs. A nondisposal facility is defined as any solid waste facility required to obtain a solid waste facility permit except a disposal facility or transformation facility (PRC Section 40151). To assist the jurisdictions of Santa Clara County to meet this requirement, County Integrated Waste Management Program staff has prepared the attached County of Santa Clara Countywide NDFE for adoption by all of the jurisdictions in Santa Clara County except Palo Alto. The City of Palo Alto has prepared and adopted its own NDFE. The NDFE identifies the transfer stations, material recovery facilities, and yard waste composting facilities necessary to implement local waste diversion goals. Please note that these facilities or operations are often located at disposal facility sites. Prior to adopting or amending an NDFE, a city or county is required to submit its NDFE to the LTF for review and comment. The LTF comment letter is required to be submitted to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) within 90 days of the date the LTF receives the NDFE for comment. The NDFE has been reviewed by the LTF. A copy of the LTF comment letter is attached. Prior to adopting the NDFE a jurisdiction must conduct at least one public hearing on the NDFE in accordance with Section 18766 of Title 14, Chapter 9, Article 7.0, of the California Code of Regulations. When approving and adopting an NDFE, a jurisdiction is not required to receive approval by any other jurisdiction(s). Cities and counties are not required to revise their previously adopted SRREs to make these documents consistent with subsequently adopted NDFEs. The NDFEs shall be incorporated into the SRREs at the time of the first five -year revision. Dianne McKenna Supend",, Fifth DW?f t September 1, 1994 Margaret J. Rands, Program Manager Integrated Waste Management Program County of Santa Clara 1735 North First Street, Suite 275 San Jose, Ca. 95112 Dear Ms. Rands: The Solid Waste Commission of Santa Clara County, acting as the County Local Task Force (LTF), has reviewed the County of Santa Clara Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE), as required by Public Resources Code Section 41734 (a) and (b). LTF review and comment focuses on potential regional impacts of the NDFE. This document has been prepared to serve as the NDFE for fifteen jurisdictions: the cities of Campbell; Cupertino; Gilroy; Los Altos; Milpitas; Monte Sereno; Morgan Hill; Mountain View; San Jose; Santa Clara; Saratoga; and Sunnyvale; the Towns of Los Altos Hills and Los Gatos; and the County of Santa Clara. The nondisposal facilities described in the County of Santa Clara's NDFE should assist all jurisdictions in the County in their efforts to meet or exceed state mandated waste stream reduction goals. The LTF believes that the facilities will positively impact the region, and does not foresee any negative impacts in the County of Santa Clara.

The Facility began operations as a sanitary landfill in 1956. The permitted Class III landfill has ongoing material recovery and compost processing operations. The Facility receives waste from all over Santa Clara County. Material recovery operations are conducted on the active face of the landfill. The compost processing facility area is currently undergoing environmental review and permitting procedures.. The proposed compost facility would consist of a 7 -acre yard and wood waste processing area and an 11 -acre windrow composting area. The Facility currently accepts yard waste and dean wood waste from residential self - haulers, gardeners and landscapers, government landscape maintenance and road crews, and franchised and non - franchised municipal waste haulers. Once delivered to the Facility, yard waste is ground up and sold immediately to land application markets. The proposed compost facility permit would allow yard waste to be ground up, cured aerobically in windrows, screened after completion, and transported to markets. Wood waste is kept separate, ground up, and transported to wood fuel markets. All materials are received on a tipping fee basis. The Facility also recycles construction and demolition debris (soil, concrete, and asphalt) which is used on- site as construction materials and daily landfill cover. FACILITY CAPACITY: The Facility has a maximum permitted disposal capacity of 3,375 tons per day. In 1993, the Facility landfilled approximately 356 tons per day. In the currently proposed permit, the maximum processing capacity of the compost facility is 672 tons of yard and wood waste per day. ESTIMATED DIVERSION RATE: In 1993, the Facility had a diversion rate of approximately 39.6% (129,919 tons of the 328,361 tons received at the landfill gate). JURISDICTIONS SERVED: The Facility serves all of Santa Clara County. FACILITY LOCATION: The Facility is located in Southwestern San Jose, off of Guadalupe Mines Road, in a canyon immediately north of the Guadalupe Mines (see the attached map). i 140789 CrorW yr t I MUMSOII (� 1 r.a.. �1 of G4 SAM on i o[trt[ OI St.rrOM S (,• \LQT ` %r/ ) � � �� gs�E �• {AUlyt 0k ; Yr .4 ��•. 1 u a a 1oN r I .. 0 I 1000 2000 3000 4000 Feet I I 1 y I \a'±j 3 t .• af,� 1 -'Iroi vc..jp ti c 1 ••��77GG * � Al -� To Z.
