County the City's NDFE, as required by PRC Section 41730. The City is also submitting a
copy of its NDFE to the California Integrated Waste Management Board for review and
approval. The City's NDFE will be appended to the City's SRRE at the time of the five year
revision.
This NDFE identifies the utilization of a yard waste composting facility, and also identifies
two proposed facilities, a composting facility and a materials recovery facility, as
Nondisposal facilities necessary to implement the City's waste diversion goals. Tables I,11
and III, attached, identify the Nondisposal facilities the City may utilize to implement its
SRRE and meet the solid waste diversion requirements of PRC Section 41780.
A draft of this NDFE was submitted to the Los Angeles County Local Task Force (LTF) in
February 1994 for review and comment regarding the regional impacts fo the nondisposal
facilities indentifred in this Element, in accordance with the requirements of PRC Sections
41734(a) and (b). As indicated by PRC Section 41735(a), the adoption or amendment of this
