I N T E R O F F I C E M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council
DATE: July 11, 1990
SUBJECT: PROPOSED ELSMERE CANYON LANDFILL
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Y/l��
BACKGROUND /
On February 13, 1990, the City Council adopted a Minute Resolution declaring
their unconditional opposition to the establishment of a Solid Waste Landfill in
Elsmere Canyon. The City requested input and support from local interest groups
and groups from the neighboring areas to oppose the proposed landfill as stated
in the resolution.
In support of the City's position, staff and City lobbyists have continuously
worked with the State Legislature, and has developed legislation to protect the
interests of the community. This measure will be amended as necessary depending
on the outcome of related Bills i.e., AB 2296 (Cortese). Attached is a listing
of other accomplishments to date and tasks scheduled for the remainder of this
year.
At this time, specific design and development plans for the proposed project
have not been approved; however, the U.S. Forest Service and the County of Los
Angeles have agreed to develop a joint .environmental document. The Forest
Service will be responsible for administering the contract agreement and will
select the consultant to prepare the environmental document. Funding for the
preparation of the environmental document will be provided by the proponent of
the project, the Elsmere Corporation.

GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION
HEARING DATE: June 26, 1990
STAFF ANALYSIS OF ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 22 6 (Cortese)
As Amended June 201 1990
SUBJECT
Integrated Waste
DESCRIPTION
1. AB 2296 repeals an existing prohibition in law relative to
the siting of new solid waste facilities and, instead,
provides that until a countywide integrated waste management
plan has been approved by the California Integrated Waste
Management Board (CIWMB), no person shall establish a new
solid waste facility or transformation facility (or:expand
existing facilities) unless one of the -following occurs:
a) The facility is identified in or found to conform with a
county solid waste management plan (COSWMP) in compliance
with laws and regulations existing on 12/31/89.
b) The facility is identified and described in the most
recent COSWMP which has been approved by the county and a
majority of the cities within the county which contain a
majority of the population of the unincorporated area of
the county, except as specified.
c) Pursuant to review and approval procedures for facilities,
which have not been identified or described in a COSWMP,
the facility has been approved by a majority-of.the
cities within the county which contain a majority of the
population of the county, except as specified.
d) The facility is a material recovery facility (MRF) that
will recover morethan15% recyclables and has been
submitted to the local task force for review and comment.
e) The facility is a transfer station that is designed and
will be permitted to recover recyclables, serves only one
local jurisdiction and has been submitted to the task
force.for review and comment pursuant to specified
procedures.
2. The measure provides for the review and approval of a solid
waste facility or transformation facility which has not been
identified or described in a COSWMP, as specified.
3. The bill prohibits a.city or county from disapproving a,.
proposed site identification and description for a new solid

Page 2
waste facility or transformation facility (or expansion of
existing facilities) unless a determination is made, based
upon substantial evidence in the record, that there will be
significant adverse impacts within the boundaries of the
proposed project.
4. Requires each county, by 2/1/91, with the approval of the
majority of the cities in the county containing a majority of
the population of the county, except as specified, to adopt a
resolution addressing solid waste transfer facilities which
are designed to recover less than 15t recyclables.
5. Requires the resolution to specify whether the facilities
shall be subject .to the review and approval process or the
review and comment process. If the resolution is not adopted
by 2/1/91, those facilities will be subject to the review and
comment process described in this bill.
6. Provides that until a countywide integrated waste management
plan has been approved by the CIWMB, no person shall
establish or expand a solid waste facility or transformation
facility unless the city or county in which the site is
located makes a finding that the facility is consistent with
the general plan.
7. The measure requires local agencies to continue source
reduction and.recycling activities to implement a specified>.
recycling plan which establishes a goal.of recycling 20% of
the solid waste generated. Also,requires local agencies to
use relevant information and studies developed through the
former COSWMP process in preparing source reduction and
recycling elements, countywide siting elements, and county
integrated waste management plans.
S. AB 2296 provides the CIWMB with the authority to deny a
facility permit if the CIWMB finds that the facility would
"prevent or substantially impair" achievement of the
recycling goals -established by AB 939 of 1989.
9. The measure contains a cost -disclaimer provision.
RELATED LEGISLATION
BB 2221 Mich) 1990 session. Would require COSWMP's adopted
under former law, as specified, to govern waste management of
affected cities and counties until the countywide integrated
r= waste management plans required .under .AB 939 of 1989 are
adopted. (Pending in Assembly Policy Committee)
---{continued)
AB 2296 (Cortese) Page 3
AB 939.(Sher) of 1989, the California Integrated Waste
Management Act, recodified substantially all of%the statutes
relating to solid waste into the Public Resources Code and
prescribed a new full-time 6 -member California Integrated Waste
Management Board (CIWMB) to administer the law. .In addition,,the .
existing county solid waste management planning process (COSWMP)
was eliminated in favor of an integrated waste management process
which requires local governments to prepare, submit to the CIWMB
and implement comprehensive programs to manage waste.
This measure has been introduced to address the void which
exists in solid waste planning requirements between 12/31/89 and
the time local governments phase in their new countywide
integrated waste management plans (between 1/1/92 and 1/1/94,
depending on remaining landfill capacity). This void period
which exists in planning and permitting requirements is referred
to as the "COSWMP GAP PROBLEM".
For the past six months, representatives from local
government, industry and the environmental community have met in
an effort to resolve this issue. According to the author, this
measure represents the best possible compromise towards solving
the GAP.problem. In its present form, the measure is supported
by various industry groups and local government. Environmental
groups, however, have expressed concern with several provisions
of the bill and have submitted proposed changes to the author's
office.
Specifically, AB 2296 reinstates the previous COSWMP for the
planning and permitting of solid waste facilities during the GAP.
In addition, it allows facilities not in the COSWMP to be sited
through the approval by the county and a majority of the cities
in the unincorporated area of the county, similar to the previous
COSWMP amendment process. In addition, the bill permits the
exemption of material recovery facilities (MRF's) from the
planning process, as specified, if the MRF will recover at least
15% recyclables, is designed and permitted to serve only one
jurisdiction and has been submitted to the local task force for
review and comment. By 2/1/91, cities and counties will decide
whether or not to subject transfer facilities that recover or
recycle less than 15% under the city/county approval process or
treat them like facilities.that recover at•least,15% recyclables:
Such facilities that serve only one jurisdiction would not be
subject to the city/county approval process.
Finally, the bill provides authority to the CIWMB to object
4. to provisions of solid waste facility permits if the CIWMB

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2296, as amended, Cortese. Solid waste.
(1) Existing law requires each city and county to. prepare
®and submit to the California Integrated Waste. Management
Board,.a countywide integrated management plan which.
includes city and county source reduction and recycling
elements and a countywide siting element. Existing.. law•
requires a solid waste management plan to be revised to
include a specified recycling plan. Existing law prohibits, until
a countywide integrated waste management plan of a county
has been.approved by the board, any transfer or processing
station. or disposal sites approved by a city or county after a
specified date from being established in a city or county
without a specified finding by the board.
This bill would repeal that prohibition and instead prohibit
any person from establishing a new, or expanding a an
existing, solid :waste facility or transformation facility, until a
countywide integrated waste management plan has been
approved by the board, without meeting specified
requirements. The bill would provide for the review and
