At the September 4, 1991 Council Study Session, staff made a presentation on Material Recovery
Facilities (MRF) and the County Integrated Waste Management Task Force comments on the City's
AB939 Plan. (See Attachment "A.")
Staff was directed to draft language to address the items relating to the recycling, composting and
15 -year disposal capacity indicating the City commitment to pursue strong agreements with other
jurisdictions to provide for a regional approach to manage solid waste. The Council indicated
consideration of a MRF with the City/Valley as part of the commitment.
Language to be included is as follows:
The City will initiate and pursue joint jurisdictional strategies to address 15 -year solid waste disposal
capacity and AB939 diversion goals. This may include the siting of regional Transfer Stations,
MRF's and composting facilities mithin the boundaries of the Santa Clarity Valley. Furthermore, the
City may pursue export agreements with individual solid waste receiving jurisdictions utilizing rail haul
as a mode of transportation.
Direct staff to include the above language in the City's AB939 Plan.

Dear Mr. Caravalho:

FINAL SOURCE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING ELEMENT REVIEW
The Los Angeles County Solid Waste Management Committee/Integrated Waste
Management Task Force has reviewed your City's final draft Source Reduction and
Recycling Element in its meeting of August 12, 1991. The Element was reviewed
in concert with the Task Force's letter of June 11, 1991, regarding the draft
Element. The following:concerns remain to be addressed.
1. Solid Waste Generation Analysis
Solid waste diversion and disposal quantities, as well as solid waste
generation for each year of the 15 -year planning period for the existing
and proposed conditions, must be identified by waste "category" and "type".
2. Recycling Component
An expanded discussion on the proposed regional materials recovery
facilities is needed. Details on owners/operators and other
jurisdictional commitments/agreements are to be provided to facilitate the
review process.
3. Composting Component
The proposed mixed waste compost facilities linked with the regional
material recovery facilities need an expanded analysis to provide a level
of commitment with other potential jurisdictional proponents, as well as a
comprehensive market development and/or strategy for the composting
end -product.
4. Disposal Capacity Component
The component failed to identify 15 -year planning strategies for solid
waste disposal needs. Furthermore, the component indicates that the City
does not have waste export agreements with individual receiving jurisdic-
tions. As required by the State, the City should pursue acquisition of
export agreements with individual receiving jurisdictions to ensure an ade-
quate capacity for its disposal needs, as well as to facilitate regional
planning measures.
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
