California Code of Regulations (CCR), Sections 18752 through 18754.5, require that the NDFE identify all nondisposal facilities, including existing, expansions of existing, and proposed nondisposal facilities, which will be used to assist in reaching the diversion mandates of PRC Section 41780. A Nondisposal facility is defined as any solid waste facility required to obtain a state solid waste facility permit except a disposal facility or a transformation facility (PRC Section 40151). The City of Santa Clarita has prepared, adopted, and hereby transmits to Los Angeles 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,II 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 indentified in this Element, in accordance with the requirements of PRC Sections 41734(a) and (b).
