SECTION 1
" INTRODUCTION
1.1 - PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The San Luis Obispo County Siting Element has been prepared in accordance with, and as required by, Public
Resources Code (PRC) Divisio~ 30..Part 2, Chapter 4, 941700 et seq. and California Code of Regulations
(CCR) Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 9, 918755 through 918756.7; Upon local approval, this countywide Siting"
Element will be incorporated into the San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIWMP)
and submitted to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) for final approval.
The San Luis Obispo County Sitirig Element accomplishes the following four key tasks:
Defmes goals ~d policies for maintaining long..:term solid waste disposal capacity;
Quantifies the rem~ininp; permitted disposal capacity in the county; . ,
Identifies minimum siting criteria from federal and state sources, and some discretionary siting
criteria to be considered for any new or expanded disposal facility siting effort in the county;
Identifies strategies for the county to maintain "1ong-~rm disposal capacity.
1.2 COUNTY PROFILE
San Luis Obispo County is located on the Central coast of California. It is bordered by Monterey County t? the
north, Kern County to the east, Santa Barbara County to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The county
" "
is predominated by five mountain ranges (San: Luis, Santa Lucia, La Panza," Caliente, and Temblor Ranges) of
the Coastal Range, aligned on a predominantly northwest to southeast axis. The southeastern-most county is -
predominated" by the Carrizo Plain. The county c~mprises 3 ,316 s~e miles with a total population of 232,400
(1994) or 70 people per square mile: Major land uses in the county include open space, 7.9 percent, and
agriculmre, 19 percent. Urban and suburban build-up account for about two perce?t. The county economy is
based on thr~ 'primary industries: - agriculmre; tourism; and services. 1 There are seven incorporated cities in
"San Luis Obispo County: Arroyo Grande"(pOp. 15,200), Atascadero (pop. 24,450), E1 Paso de Robles (paso
Robles, pop. 21,050), Grover Beach (pop. 12,550), MorroBay (pop. 10,050), Pismo Beach (pop. 8,025), and
San Luis Obispo (pop. 43,900). Population of the unincorporated area is 96,700. These figures are for 1994
and were obtained from the California Departmerit of Finance. The combined cities comprise about 58 percent
" "
of the total county population. San Luis Obispo County is experiencing rapid population growth.; countywide
population grew 40 percent between 1980 and 1990.2

Approximately 277,fXXJ tons of solid waste were generated in San Luis Obispo County in 1990 based on Solid
Waste Generation Study (SWGS) fmdings. About 26, fXXJ tons were diverted through source reduction,
recycling, and composting activities. Waste projections ind~cate that approximately 341,fXXJ tons of solid waste
will be 'genera~ and 175,fXXJ tons diverted by 2fXXJ (assum.lng fun implementation of SRRE programs).
Virtually all of the municipal sOlid waste generated in the county is disposed of at one of three sanitary landfill
sites:
Chicago Grade Landfill, northeast of Atascadero. This landfill serves Atascadero and portions of
the unincorporated north county area.
Paso Robles Landfill, on City land located northeast of Paso Robles proper. This landfill serves the
City of El Paso de Robles and portions of the unincorporated north county area.For 8 months in 1994
the Paso Robles landfill served the" City of Atascadero until a Cease and Desist Onter was issued by
the State of California through the County LEA.
.
" 0
Cold Canyon Landfill, southeast of San Luis Obispo. This landfill serves the cities of San Luis
Obispo, Morro Bay, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and Arroyo Grande, and the unincorporated areas
of north coast, and south county.
These three facilities are roughly o organized into two waste sheds: north county (excluding Camp Roberts),
comprising the" Chicago Grade and Paso Robles Landfills; and south county/coastal, comprising the Cold
Canyon Landfill. Figure 1-1 illusttates the location of these landfills~
A small amount of waste generated in the county is not disposed of in thes_~ three }andfills. The California
Valley Landfill serves remote, unincorporated areas of th~ inland region (approximately 135 tons per year). The
Camp Roberts Landfill, located north of Paso Robles, serves the National Guard camp (approximately 600 tons
per year). Also, approximately 2,500 tons per year generatedm the Nipomo Mesa area in southern San Luis
Obispo County are disposed of in the Santa Maria Landfill in S~ta Barbara County.
-
The Santa Fe Energy Landfill (Santa Fe Energy Co.) located in the southeastern-most county disposes of
industrial wastes generated in Kern County. This landfill exclusively serves the Santa Fe Energy Company. No
waste is accepted from the general public. The Camp San Luis Obispo Landiip. (military) is closed. Beca~e
these latter two facilities do not contribute to municipal disposal capacity for the San Luis Obispo communities, .
they are not addressed further in this Siting Element.
The San Luis Obispo Integrated Waste Management Authority, formed in 1994, is the regional agency
responsible for impleme~tion of selected regional wastereductiori, public education, and market development
. "
programs for the county and cities. Currently, the county and six cities (Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grovero
Beach, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, and San Luis Obispo) are members of the Authority.

, SECTION 3
DISPOSAL CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS
Solid waste generation, diversion, growth estimates, and current permitted disposal capacity will all
affect San Luis Obispo County's disposal needs over the next 15 years. cUrrent and future projections
of these factors are contained within the' SRREsfor the unincorporated county and the seven cities.
The information is updated and aggregated. in this section to descn'be the existing permitted disposal
capacity (1995) and ,th~ anticipated countywide disposal capacity needs over the next 15-year period.
.
Changes in the amount and type of solid waste resulting from population growth or other economic
activities are incorporated in the year-by-year waste generation information in the SRREs. To
extrapolate _the SRRE information from 2005 to 2099 to create the . 15-year data, waste generation was
projected based on ~e average annual growth iate'between 2000 and 2005. It was 'also assumed that
waste diversion levels would continue as projected in the SRREs of appropriate jurisdictions. It should
also be noted that the ~eTUaining landfill capacity figures in Table 3-1 do not include, the Camp Roberts
Landfill because the Camp Roberts waste stream was not included in the original SRRE waste
, .
generation projections. Given the relatively very small amounts of waste generated and disposed <?f at
the facility, (refer to Table 4-1 for vo~umes) the impact to countywide solid waste disposal planning is
insignificant.
For Table 3-1, the following calculations were performed to determine the year-by-year disposal needs
and total estimated disposal capacity:
"Generation" is countywide solid waste generation as projected in the SWGS (excluding
Camp Roberts).
"Diversion" is the sum of source reduction, recycling, and composting as projected in the
SWGS.
. "Landfill DisPosal Needs" is solid waste generation minus diverted waste.
. "Remaining Landfill Capacity" at the end of the year is the capacity at the beginning of the
year minus the "Landfill Disposal Needs" for the year. RetDaining capacity is the sum of all
permitted MSW disposal capacity in the county. . Remaining capacity does not include the.
Camp Roberts Landfill.
:\IWMA\STNGLMN1\SECTJ_1.DOC 100S19S Siting Element
'-
VI-3-1
'.'. "
-
. Conversion of solid waste disposal &ita fiom tons to cubic yards is based on the asSumption
that materials would have been compacted to an average density of 1,000 pounds per cubic
yard (lb./cy) if not diverted from landfills.
. -
Based on these assumptions and calculations, the following results are summarized:
. San Luis Obispo County had a combined permitted disposal capacity of -approximately 6.9
million cubic yards (2.9 million tons) as of January .1990 and, as a result of planned
expansions, 13.1 million cubic yards (7.9 million t~ns) as of January 1995.
. The county will have approximately 7.5 million cubic yards (3.8 million tons) of combined
permitted disposal capacity at the end of the IS-year period, or 2009.
Given SRRE waste diversion and disposal projections, combined permitted disposal capacity
for the county .will expire in approximately 2026, or 32 years from 1995 assuming full
implementation of SRRE programs and achievement of diversion goa1s~
Based on these results, San Luis Obispo County requires no additional permitted municipal solid waste
disposal capacity to obtain the minimum IS-year capacity requirement per CCR Title 14, ~18755(a).

Solid waste generation, diversion, growth - estima~, and current permitted disposal capacity will all
affect San Luis Obispo CO,unty's disposal n~ over the next 15 years. Current and future projections
of these facto~ are contained ,within -the, SRREs fOr the unincorporated county an~ the seven cities.
The information is updated and aggregated in this;- section to describe the existing permitted - disposal
capacity (1995) and the anticipated countywide disPosal capacity needs over the next 15-year per:iod.
This following section includes a brief description ,of the five permitted disposal facilities in San Luis
.' . .#
Obispo County that 3:ccept solid ' waste from municipal sources.1
4.1 EXISTING DISPOSAL,FACILITIES
There are five permitted solid was~ disposal fac~ties in San Luis Obispo County 'accepting waste
from municipal sources: Chicago Grade Landfill, located approximately 4 miles northeast of
.
Atascadero, north of Highway 41; Paso Robles ,Landfill, located 8 miles east of Paso Robles off
......
Highway 46; Cold Canyon Landfill,. located approximately '6 miles south of the city of San Luis
Obispo off Highway 227; California Valley Landf~, located_approximately 1 mile south of Highway
58, apprmdmately 50 miles east of Santa Margarita; and the C?IIlP Roberts Landfill, located'
,
approximately 10 miles north of Paso Robles, west of Highway 101. Table 4-1 summarizes these
facilities in terms ofowner/pperator, permit number, date of last permit review, remaining permitted.
disposal capacity, maximum permitted daily disposal, average rate of daily waste receipt, permitted-
waste types, and expected land use after closure. The information inTable 4-1 was compiled from
surveys of landfill owners/operators conducted in January 1995 and a review of the most recent Solid
_ Waste Facility Permit. Figures 4-1 through 4-5 illustrate the location of the five disposal facilities.

~ The ~ San Luis Obispo and Santa _ Fe Energy Landfills m not addressed in this section because they do not accept
solid waste from municipal- sources in San Luis Obispo County and therefore do not contribute to countyWide municipal disposal

SECTION 5
sqlNG CRITERIA AND PROCESS
~ section describes the. development of certain solid waste disposal facility siting criteria for San
Luis Obispo County. Also. described is an overview of how these criteria can be used at such time that
a new or expanded disposal facility is required. The development of nondisposal facilities (e.g.,
. .
materials recovery and .processing operations, composting facilities) are a4dressed in the jurisdictions'
Nondisposal Facility Elements ,(NDFEs).
5.1 ROLE OF CRITERIA IN THE SITING PROCESS
Criteria are standards on which a judgment or decision may be based. Therefore, landfill siting
criteria are standards that can be applied to areas or parcels of land to judge their suita..bility for landfill
development. Siting criteria should have the following qualities:'
..
Quantifiable - the degree to which an area or parcel of land meets the criteria can be
reasonably and clearly measured I
-
. . Objective - the criteria should impartially measure the suitability of land areas or parcels
without bias toward a particular area or site
Address community concerns - the criteria can. meet the needs and concerns of both the
regulatory community and local commuriity members.
Siting criteria are often divided into two types: those thai exclude portions of the study area from
further consideration (often called "exclusionary" criteria); and those that compare and evaluate the
degree of conformity of candidate sites to local parame~rs (often called "ranking" ,criteria). This
Siting Element documents an initial set of criteria for each of these categories. Figure 3-1 illustrates
how these criteria are typically used to select a landfill site.
Exclusionary' Criteria - The IWMA has elected to develop a Siting Element that identifies a
set of exclusionary criteria using minimum standards supplied by federal and state regulators
that must be considered as part of any new or expanded landfill siting effort. The exclusionary
criteria can be 'used to identify and screen out general areas least suited. to new or expanded
facility development.

Ranking Criteria - The ranking. criteria are intended to objectively compare candidate sites to
determine which site(s) maximize responsiveness to the community's needs. and desires -for new
and/or expanded disposal facilities. . They do so by measuring and ranking the' relative
preference of a set of candidate landfill sites. These criteria are often expressed using the terms
"minimi7.e" or "maximize". The greater the conformi~ of a site to the crite;ion, the greater the
score that site receives. !he result of the application of this criteria is a relative scoring of the .
candidate sites from most to least preferred.
,
Given the extensive remaining permitted disposal capacity in the county, this Siting Element does not
apply the exclusionary criteria, identify new or expanded landfill sites, nor apply the ranking criteria.
Section 5.4 describes how criteria may be applied and specific sites identified and evaluated should the
countywide disposal capacity fall below the minimum requirements or fue county (or appropriate
jurisdiction) otherwise determines that additional capacity is desired. ,
.
5.2 EXCLUSIONARY CRITERIA
Three regulatory sources were identified as requiring the consideration of specific exclusionary siting
criteria for any new or expanded solid waste landfill in the ~ounty:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
Subtitle D
-
. California Department of W a~er Resources-California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 23
. California Integrated Waste Management Board (CCR, Title 1,4).
Table 5-1 defines the federal and state criteria that must be considered as part of any siting effort and
can be used to identify general areas potentially suitable for new. or expanded landfill site search.
Readers should note that RCRA Subtitle D siting restrictions have been. ~corporated IDto Title 14 by
the CIWMB and adopted as a policy by the State. Water Resources Control ~oard (SWRCB) to
augment Title 23. Therefore, Table 5-1 deScribes o~y CCR Titles 14 and 23 as criteria sources.
In many cases these required criteria are not "absolute" in that they do allow for possible engineering
alternatives that offset or mitigate the hazard addressed by the criteria. Examples include wetlands,
unstable areas, and floodplains. Recognizing this, Table 5-1 includ~ a column indicating whether
each criterion is potentially mitigable from a regulatory standpoint. It must be noted; however, that
mitigating such hazards is. often very costly and very difficult to conclusively demonstrate to a
regulator.

foundation or to the structures which control leachate, surface drainage, erosion, or gas. Even though it does not contain a
minimum setback, this requirement is essentially equivalent to the Subtitle D limit of 200 feet from Holocene fault because all
potential seismic forces must be considered during the design phase. Some Regional Water Quality Control Boards may require a
minimum 200 foot separation even though the State Water Resources Control Board and approved California Solid Waste
program are not required to include this location resmction. The RCRA Subtitle D location restriction for Seismic Impact Zones
is also covered under the Title 23 -seismic design requirements.
d For Siting Element purposes, this criterion includes the foundation requirements of Title 23 CCR, ~2530.
5.3 RANKING CRITERIA
The purpose of the ranking criteria is to assist decision-makers to identify and evaluate candidate
landfill sites in the future. -This list is only intended to be used as a guideline. This list may be
expanded or reduced over time as physical and social conditions change in the county. This list will be
reviewed at the outset of any future siting effort to ensure that it is current with the needs and concerns
of the community for a safe and economical landfill' site.
Sources for this iIiitial set of criteria fuclude the San Luis Obispo County General Plan, the 1986 Solid
Waste Management Plan, the 1991 San Luis Obispo County Solid Waste Management Facility SitiIig
Study, and good planning and engineering principles. The criteria are organized under four

- 5.4 DISPOSAL FACILITY SITING PROCESS
Given the exte~ive permitted disposal capacity in the county (approximately 32 years rem~ining as of
1995, assuming achievement of diversion mandates), no sites for new or expanded solid waste disposal
facilities are identified at this time. At such time that countywide permitted disposal capacity falls
below the minimum IS-year requirement, and it is determined that expapsion of existing facility(ies) is
not feasible or permittable, the appropriate jurisdiction(s) will. plan for the- identification of new
disposal facilities. The general steps for a typica1landfill siting 'process ar~ outlined below. Other
disposal strategies, defined in Section 6, will also be considered.
. 1. De~gn and implement a participation strategy that provides for regular input by affected
jurisdictions and the public throughout the siting process.
2. Revise the exclusionary criteria. to reflect current siting re"quirements from federal and/or
state regulations.
3. Apply exclusionary criteria to the county (or sub-county area, as appropriate) to identify
general areas capable of meeting minimum standards.
. I
4. Identify candidate sites within the re'.""~ining general areas. Incorporate review by
appropriate jurisdictions and the public.
,
5. Revise the ranking criteria to reflect any changeS- in local policies, planning guidelines,
,
and/or community concerns.
:\IWMA\STNGLMNT\SECTS_l.DOC 1015/95 - . Siting Element
VI-5-9 .
".. .t' . .
6. Apply the ranking criteria to the candidate landfill sites and identify the site(s) that
, maximizes consistency with the discretionary criteria. Criteria may be weighted to -create a
. numerical scoring and ranking process . for the sites. Incorporate review by appropriate
jUrisdictions and _the public.
7'0 Perform detailed hydrogeologic evaluation of the top_ranked sites to determine if there are
any fatal flaws that wo~ld preclude' any site from further cODSidera~on.
..
8. If technically, economically, and politically feasible, initiate: -Siting Element
. Amend.ment(inchiding revised criteria from No: 2 and No.5), 'CEQA process, acquisition,
host jurisdiction land use and solid waste facility. permitting: design and development.
Figure 5-1 illustrates the general flow of this landfill siting process. ,
Given recent experiei:1ces in other communities, the site selection process may take about one to two
years; site acquisition, CEQA compliance, and permitting about .three to five .years; and initial site
development about one to two years. Timing will depend largely on the level of public opposition,
. willingness of land owners, CEQA compliance requirements, and physical conditions at the selected
landfill site.
,
5.5 AMENDl\1ENTS TO THE SITING ELEMENT
PRC g41721.5 specifies the process by which the San Luis Obispo County Siting Element may be
amended to consider and incorporate new, expanded, or modified disposal facilities as they may be
proposed in the future. In summary, the proponent for development of a disposal facility in San Luis
Obispo County may initiate the process by submitting a site identification anci description (proposal for
amendment) to the San Luis Obispo County Board. If the description is deemed complete by the
Board, the county will then submit the description to the incorporated cities within 20 days. Each
jurisdiction - must then act to approve or disapprove the proposed amendment to the Siting Element
. within 90 days . provided that there is sufficient information and documentation to' meet the
requirements of CEQA and it does not violate' any other state or -local requirement. To amend the
Element, approval is needed by the county and a majority of the cities containing a majority of the
population of the incorporated area. A juris~ction may only move to disapprove the Siting Element if
there is substantial evidence in the record that the amendment to the Element would cause one or more
. . .
significant adverse impacts.
:\IWMA \STIIGLMNnSECT5 _I.DOC 10/5/95 . Siting Element

.. &.. r, ,....
Upon majority approv~, the project will then ,be forwarded to the. h~st jurisdiction to complete. the
local p.lanning/permit requirements of. that community and complete ~e Solid Waste FacilitY Permit
process.
PRC ~1721.5 does not include any required involvement ofa L6ca1 Task Force (LTF) in the Siting
~le~ent amendment.process. However, the Board is always free to use the LTF as an advisory body
for solid waste decision making. The LTF does have a legislated advisory role in the amendment of

SECTION 6
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
The CIWMB requires each county or regional agency to provide for a minimum of 15 years of
permitted solid waste disposal capacity (~CR, Title 14, ~18755(a)). As documented in Section 2, San
Luis Obispo County far exceeds this minimum requirement with an estimated 32 years remaining
capacity as of 1995 (assuming diversion goals are met). Nonetheless, .the county recognizes the
importance of identifying a diversified disposal strategy to mairitain long-term capacity. This section
describes the county I s disposal capacity maintenance program.
6.1 . PROGRAM FOR LONG-TERM CAPACITY MAINTENANCE
The long-term disposal capacity maintenance program for the county is a diversified one. Several
approach~ will be maintained so that if one option becomes unworkable, back-up p~ograms may be
drawn upon. The four facets of the long-term capacity maintenance_program are described below.
. Section 4.2 presents the schedule for executing this program.
Local Adoption and CIW1\ffi Approval of the Siting Element
Upon completion, this Siting -Element will be incorporated into the San Luis Obispo County Integra!ed
Waste Management Plan (CIWMP). . The CIWMP will serve as the primary solid waste planning
document for the county. As such, the Siting Element identifies policies and criteria for disposal of
s9lid waste in the county. ,
Continued Use of Existing Landfills
The north county region currently relies on the Chicago Grade Landfill and Paso Robles Landfill for
providing MSW disposal capacity. The coaStal region reli~ on the Cold Canyon Landfill and the
inland region relies on the California Valley Landfill. These facilities will continue to serve as the
principal disposal sites for solid waste generated in San Luis Obispo County. Facility operators. and
the jurisdictions they serve will continue to monitor changes in remaining permitted capacity and
. .
explore options to expand existing facilities or explore development of new disposal sites as necessary
and permittable. Because of sufficient ~sal capacity within the County, waste will not be exported
to landfills outside of the County. Any such export would have significant environmental_and fiscal
impacts. Minor amounts of Nipomo Mesa waste may continue to go to the Santa. Maria Landfill. in
Santa Barbara County as long as that facility remains open. Importation of solid waste into the County
landfills shall be allowable to the extent that the. County's excess disposal cap~city is not significantly
impacted. An environmental determination meeting the minimum requirements of CEQA is required
prior to the initiation of importation of solid waste into San Luis Obispo County. r

Planning for Future New Landfill Siting
Should the .remaining permitted disposal capacity fall below the minimum IS-year requirement, and -
should it be determined that expansion of existing facilities is not feasible or permittable, the
appropriate jurisdiction(s), with Authority coor~tion as neceSsary, will plan for the identification of
a new disposal site" and/or implementation of other dispos'al strategies herein. The basic steps of a
tYPical siting process ar~ outlined in Section 3.4.
Consideration of Expanded Waste Reduction and Recovery
San Luis Obispo County' believes that waste reduction and recovery is ultimately the most effective
means of assuring long-term countywide disposal capacity. Through the cities' and county's SRREs,
San Luis Obispo County has identified aggressive waste' diversion programs that meet the diversion
mandates of AB 939. As part of the annual reporting process (CCR, Title 14, 218771) the county and
cities will assess their 'waste diversion plans for opportUnities to improve waste divers fun activities and
minimize the amount of waste requiring disposal. Should other disposal strategies be unable to provide
the minimum IS-year capacity requirements, the county and cities will consider expanded waste
reduction a,nd recovery activities to conserve reID3ining capacity. These activities. could include
accelerating implementation schedules for certain selected programs, efCpanding the capacity and/or
types of materials to be handled through reCycling programs, implementing contingency programs, or
adding new programs to increase recovery.
6.2 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
The maintenance of long-term disposal capacity is a high priority for San Luis Obispo County. The
county has therefore developed a schedule that is as detailed as possible given information available at
this time. Table 6-1 summarizes the required tasks, responsible parties, timing, and revenue sources
for the implementation of the San Luis Obispo County disposal capacity maintenance program. Table
6-2 describes the responsible entities within each jurisdiction.

Subject: SCH# 95101013 - Negative Declaration for San Luis
Obispo County Siting Element (SE) and Summary Plan (SP)
for the County Integrated Waste Management Plan
The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) staff
have completed the review of the subject document, dated October
6, 1995. Following the project description below, you will find
staff's comments on the subject document.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The SE is a planning document which describes the County's
remaining existing solid waste disposal capacity, future disposal
capacity needs, location of sanitary landfills, and criteria for
location of future .landfill sites in San Luis Obispo County.
This document specifies that the County has a minimum of 15 years
of disposal capacity available through existing facilities and
planned expansions. Since the County has approximately 32 years
of existing disposal capacity at this time, no new facilities or
expansions of existing facilities are proposed at this time.
The SP summarizes all solid waste management activities in the
Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRREs) , Household
Hazardous Waste Elements (HHWEs.) and Nondisposal Facility
Elements (NDFEs) for all'incorporated cities in San Luis Obispo
County and for the County unincorporated area. The SP states
that materials recovery fa~ilities, composting facilities, and
household hazardous waste facilities maybe construct~d to
implement diversion programs as discussed in SRREs and HEWEs.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
Staff concur with statements in'the SE'and the "Special
Environmental Considerations" section of the negative declaration
which declare that,' should siting qr expansion of solid waste
facilities be required, or importation of waste into the County
be required, policies in the SE will require CEQA review for
these activities. Please circulate any future environmental
review documents through the State 'Clearinghouse for agency
r~view and comment.

PREFACE .
With the passage of the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939, Ch 1095 Stat. 1989) each City and the
County were required to prepare various solid waste related planning documents such as the Source Reduction and
Recycling Element. Over the last five years, different documents have been prepared and approved by the Cities and the
County. This Summary Plan summarizes those previously approved documents. As a result, some of the infonnation ~
this Summary Plan is no longer current. The out-of-date infonnation will be revised as the various documents are updated.
-
In this document the tenn "jurisdictions" or "San Luis Obispo County" refers to all the jurisdictions consisting of the
unincorporated County, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Paso Robles, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, and San Luis
Obispo. Any areas that are unique to a specific jurisdiction will be clearly identified. In _ the text and charts the
jurisdictions are placed in order with the unincorporated County first followed by the incorporated cities in alphabetical
order. Paso Robles is p~aced using it's full name, EI Paso de Robles which is consistent with previous documents,

CHAPTER 1
. INTRODUcrION
California Assembly Bill 939 (1989) requires each city and county to reduce waste sent to landfUls by 25 percent by
January 1, 1995 and 50 percent by January 1,2000. Based upon initial information collected. San Luis Obispo County has
exceeded 25% diversion in 1995.
The Summary Plan provides aft synopsis of the planning documents which were prepared to meet these goals. These
documents consist of the Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE), Household Hazardous Waste Element
(HHWE), Non Disposal Facility Element (NDFE) and Siting Element. All of the documents together are considered the
County Integrated \yaste Management Plan (CIWMP).
This Sum..mary Plan is, composed of six ch~pters that descn'be the CUITent solid waste collection and disposal system and the
planned programs from 1994 - 2000. The intent of this document was to prepare a comprehensive document which met the
California Code of Regulations (CCR) 18757 - 18758.1 The information in Chapters 2 through Chapter 6 meets the CCR
requirements. Below is a brief description of each chapter. ,

POLICIES, GOALS, AND OBJECI'lVES (CCR SECI'lON 18757.1)
. 2.1 INTRODUCTION
-
/
In this chapter of the County Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIWMP), the direction of the County'~ Solid Waste
Management System is described through policy, goal. and objective statements. . These statements are derived from the
previously approved SRREs, HHWE, NDFE, and the Siting Element. The policies, goals, and objecQves were based upon
direction and guidance from the California Integrated Waste Mariagement Act of 1989 (AB 939), the County Board of
Supervisors, City Council Members, the San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA), and
the implementation regulations adopted by the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB).
To satisfy the County's solid waste management needs, the jurisdictions in San Luis Obispo County will plan and
implement programs that.are both cost effective and operated to follow the State of California's Solid Waste Management
hierarchy. The hierarchy' is waste prevention, recycling, composting, and disposal. Implementation of the programs using
this hierarchy will protect public health and safety, preserve the environment, and provide for the maXimum conservation
of natural resources. .
In addition, the percentages shown in the body of the goals sections for the SRREs are extracted from the original
documents submitted to the CIWMB for their approval. These figures were amended by the CIWMB as part of their
approval process. Although CIWMB's adjustments were not significant, they are presented with the original figures in the
beginning of the goals section.
2.2 POLICIES, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES .
The policies, goaLS, and objectives were taken from the SRREs and are shown verbatim.
2.3 POLICIES (CCR SECTION 18757.1b)
The policies for all the jurisdictions are stated below using the CIWMB program hierarchy that established Source
Reduction as the number one priority.
.'
2.3.1 POLICY - SRRE - Source Reduction
POLICY 1 Reduce the use of Don-recyclable materials in public facilities and promote and support the same actions in
the private sector. -
POLICY 2 Promote and support the replacement of disposable materials with reusable products.
POLICY 3 .Promote and support the usage of reduced packaging.
POLICY 4 Assist in the reduction of yard debris diS~ded by public agencies, businesses and residents.

2.4 GOALS (CCR SECTION 18757.la)
To fully understand the magnitude of the goals in this section. it is necessary to identify the actual total quantity of wastes
generated or anticipated to be generated. In the SRREs are waste estimates for the 1990 base year, 1995, and 2000. Minor
adjustments to these figures were made by the CIWMB prior to approval. The figures in the body of the documents were
not changed to reflect the adjustments. Below.in Table 2.1 the adjusted' figures are shown. The original figures are shown
in Table 2.2. Throughout the remainder of this document, figures shown will be based upon Table 2-2, the original figures
within the SRREs.

3~1 PROFILE
San Luis Obispo County is located in the middle of the Central California Coast, between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The County is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Monterey County. To the east lies Kern County,
and to the south is Santa Barbara County.
The county is composed of the unincorporated County and seven incorporated cities, The incorporated cities are Arroyo
Grande, Atascadero, Paso Robles; Grover Beach, MOIrO Bay, Pismo Beach and San Luis Obispo.
The landscape throughout San Luis O~ispo County varies greatly. The area has five principal mountain ranges, These
ranges are not substantial in size, but they are large enough to affect the weather of the surrounding areas. The northeastern
portion of the county is part of the Salinas valley and is made up of low lying flat lands. The northern coastal areaS of San
Simeon are rugged, and the southern areas near Pismo Beach are known for the sweeping sand dunes.
The climate of the central coast is comparable to that of the Mediterranean. The climate is strongly influenced by the
geographic characteristics and by the Pacific Ocean. A high pressure system is commonly located over the ocean, and
tends to strengthen afternoon and "evening onshore winds. During the summer months the temperature averages 840 during
the day and 600.at night. The winter is cooler with daytime temperatures averaging at 640 and nighttime temperatures at
430. The rainy season occurs during the winter months and the average rainfall is 22 inches.
3.2 DEMOGRAPffiCS "

south and provides access to a network of other roadways, such as state routes 41 and 46. These roadways provide access
to many of the major cities of California. Additionally, Highway I runs through the county along the coastline.
.-

in the City of San Luis Obispo. The public transportation system (Central Coast Area Transit) operates along six major
routes. Five of these routes offer access' to the city of San Luis Obispo. The public transportation system offers access to
all the cities of San Luis Obispo County. However, access to the smaller cities' is fairly limited.
, .'
. -

CURRENT SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (CCR SECTION 18757.5)
4.1 MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
-- This chapter descn"bes the CUlTent solid waste management system in San Luis Obispo County. Additionally, it tabulates
.. -the wastestream for the base year, 1990. In San Luis Obispo County there are three basic elements to the solid waste
management system. These elements are the generators, haulers, and the solid waste disposal facilities.
-
The regulators of solid waste in the county are the incorporated cities and the Unincorporated County. The generators in
San Luis Obispo County have entered into franchise agreements with private companies to collect, haul, and dispose of
solid waste from service areas. Most of the service areas are multi-jurisdictional, containing several jurisdictions within
their boundaries.
.:
The haulers providing .service in San Luis Obispo County are:
.-
Mission County Disposal
Morro Bay Garbage Co.
Paso Robles Waste Disposal,Inc.
San Luis Garbage Co.
San Miguel Garbage Co.
South County Sanitary Service, Inc:
Wil-Mar Disposal and Recycling, Inc.
In addition to regular residenti~ and commercial collection most of these companies also provide r~ll-offboxes service.
The permitted solid waste disposal facilities in San Luis Obispo County are the California Valley Landfill, Chicago Grade
. ..
Landfill, Cold Canyon Landfill, Paso Robles Landfill, and. Camp Roberts Landfill. The Cold Canyon and Paso Robles
Landfills have the largest remaining permitted capacity followed by the Chicago Grade Facility.
The major landfills are briefly described below and Table 4-2 presents ~ditional detaiied infomlation.
Cold Canyon Landfill, southeast of San Luis Obispo. This solid waste disposal facility serves the Cities of San. Luis
Obispo, Morro Bay, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, and the unincorPorated areas ot:.. the north coast, and
south county.
Chicago Grade Landfil!, northeast of Atascadero. This solid waste disposal facility serves the City of .Atascadero and
SUlTOunding unincorporated north-coimty~; .
Paso. Robles Landfill, on City property .located northeast of Paso Robles proper. ThiS solid waste disposal facility serves
the City of Paso Robles and portions of the surrounding uniD.corporate~ north county area. For 8 months in 1994, the Paso
Robles landfill served the City of Atascadero until a Cease and Desist Order waS issued by the State of California through
the County LEA.
The relationship between the generators, haulers, and the landfills is depicted in Table 4-1 below. This information is also
presented on a County map shown on Figure 4-1. Additional detail of the landfill locations are provided on Figure 4-2
through Figure 4-4.

4.3 RECYCLING MARKET DEVELOPMENT ZONES (RMDZ)
Since the SRRE was approved theunincoIporated County of San Luis Obispo and the City of Paso Robles' have become
part of the Central Coast Recycling Market Development Zone Program.. This program includes the City of Hollister, City
of Watsonville, County of Monterey, County of San Benito, and County of Santa Cruz. The Recycling Market
Development Zone' provides business incentives to create markets for recycled products, low interest loans, technical
assistance and permit.streamlining. .
The strategy for developing recycling markets is to fully incorporate the use of recyclables into a broader community
economic development planning process. this will be accomplished through the coordinated efforts of solid waste planners
and local economic development personnelto accomplish the following broad market development goals.
-
. IrDplement policies that promote greater use of recycled materials by local government agencies, businesses and
residences.
. Encourage development and expansion of manufacturing enterprises which use recycled materials as feedstock.
. Coordinated multi-jurisdictional cooperation for recovery and marketing of recycled materials.
. Ensure access to other markets for types or volumes of specific recycled materials that cannot be handled locally.
. Continue to assess the applicability of state-designated market development zones.

CHAPTER 5
SUMMARY OF SRRES, HHWES, AND NDFES (CCR SECfION 18757.7)
5.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
This Chapter sutnmarizes the Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRRE), Household Hazardous Waste Element
. -.
(HHWE), and the Non Disposal Facility Element (NDFE). With the exception of the SRRE the other documents consisted
of a single document fo~ the entire county adopted by all the jurisdictions. The SRREs were indi~idual1y tailored to each
jurisdiction. The individual SRREs ~ontain numerous prograrits in source reduction, recycling, composting, and special
waste. Most of the pro~s for each jurisdiction are similar, however there are some minor differences and these are
identified herein.
It is important to recognize that this chapter is a summary of lip proved documents which were based on information
collected previously. Changes to the current status of programs have occurred. In this Chapter, the term "current" refers to
the information contained in the. SRREs, HHWE, and NDFE which reflected the current status at the time they were
written. The actual current status of programs is not required by the California Code of Regulations. ,Known differences
are identified in parenthesis and italics.
5.2 SOURCE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING ELEl\1ENT (SRRE)
The section which summarizes programs in the SRREs follows. These programs are Source Reduction, Recycling,
Composting, and Special Waste. Identified in Table 5-1 below for each jurisdiction is the agency responsible for
overseeing programs within the SRRE.

5.2.1 SRRE - Source Reduction
Source reduction is the process by which waste is eliminated or diverted before it can be collected and processed.
Currently, soUrce reduction in the local jwisdictions and unincorporated County consists of goveminentaI, residential. and
-<:ommercial source reduction. The .programs planned for the .future in the SRREs fall into the five categories of "Local
Government Programs", "Technical Assistance, Education, and Promotion", "Regulatory Programs", "Economic
Incentives", and "Rate Structure Modifications".
~
5.2.1.1 SRRE - Source Reduction- Current Programs
.
The current source reduction programs have been identified in the SRRE by source and which jurisdictions are involved.
The source is categorized into local government, residential, and commercial activities.

SRRE - Source Reduction - Current ProQrams - Local Government Source ReduCtion
All of the local governmental agencies except Grover Beach, Morro Bay, and Paso Robles perfonn some type of source
reduction currently. . Atascadero purchases and promotes the use of reusable and recyclable mat~rials. In the cities of
Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach the current policy is to double-side' copies. The City of San Luis Obispo also double
sides copies and procures durable, reusable, and recyclable goods. The unincorporated County requires all copies produced
in the Central Reprographics Department to be double-sided. In addition, the government center cafeteria gives a discount
to customers who bring their own cup.
SRRE - Source Reduction - Current Programs - Residential Source Reduction
,
Residential source reduction consists of disposable diapers, food waste, and yard debris. Disposable diapers are reduced
through the use of cloth diapers which can be ,washed and reused. Food waste and yard debris are composted at the
residence.
The estimated percentage of source reduction achieved currently is shown in the table below. .:.

. 5,2, 1.3 SRRE - Source Reduction - Planned Program Descriptions
,
The planned progiam descriptions briefly describe. the programs which are identified above.
"SRRE - Source Reduction - Planned Program Dessnptions -,local Gov~mment PrOgrams .
Most of the Local Government Programs will be performed by the IWMA. These include a countywide waste exchange,
joint purchase pools, countywide source reduction pilot program and waste audits for selected jurisdiction agencies. in-
house source reduction programs will be performed by each individual jurisdiction. All these _programs are presented
below. . -'.
.
L Countywide Waste Exchan~e. The IWMA will investigate the feasibility of establishing a countywide waste exchange
for all the jurisdictions in the county. Such a program. would establish a countywide facility to collect and distribute
waste materials from one jurisdiction which could be useful as. resources in .another. This pro~ could be
coordinated with the CIWMB's California Materials Exchange and Reuse program.
2. .Joint Purchase Pools. The IWMA, with assistance from the jurisdictions, will investigate the establishment and help
develop purchase pools between groups of cities to encourage bulk purchases and reduce packaging:
3. Countywide Source Reduction Pilot Pro~. This p~ogram. would be based on the successes 'of the Itasca County,
Minnesota, Waste Reduction Pilot Project (Itasca County saved over $4,000 annually and reduced their overall waste
generation by 10 percent by implementing source reduction measures). The IWMA could establish a committee to
generate source reduction ideas (e.g. decreasing the amount of junk mail rec~ived by jurisdictions, use of reusable air
filters, increased use of retreaded tires, etc.) that can be implemented on a pilo~ basis in selected departments and
monitored for their effectiveness.
4. Waste Audits for Selected Jurisdictions' Aeencies. IWMA staff: or contracted auditor, can provide waste audits for
jurisdictions' agencies, that can help increase awareness. These audits are the first logical step toward knowing which .
specific source reduction options a business should pursue. sa 1322 (Ch 1096/89) provides for potential state
assistance in conducting waste audits. One low-co~ activity is for the jurisdictions to supply self-audit checklists to
busiIiesses (SRRE Section 7, Education and Public Information Component discusses this activity in more detail).
Waste audits should- be designed to provide a thorough review and analysis' of the processes and materials used by an
agency, business, or industry and identification of ways to reduce the waste generated. Waste audits should also review
current procurement pra~ce~ to evaluate potential substitution of recycled or reusable products for virgin or
disposable products.
5. In-House Activities Ourisdictions). In-house source reduction options could include: An employee education
c:ampaign to encourage in-house and-at-home source reduction practices, such as use -of scrap paper and reuse of
packaging; purchasing double-~ided copying machines; using the reverse side of forms; reducing junk mail received;
expanding the use of ceramic coffee cups instead of disposable cups; and replacing paper towels with cloth towels.
. I
SRRE - Source Redl,.lction - Planned Program Descriptions - Technical AsSistance, Education, and Promotion
Section 18734.3(c) of the CCR requires evaluation of five specific alternatives within this category: Waste evaluations (or
audits); site-of-generation compostii1g programs; technical assistance programs; e,ducational and promotional efforts; and
- public recognition. The. IWMA will be responsible for implementfug all technical assistance, education, and promotion
programs. I - -
-
This combination of alternatives, with the exception of backyard composting, includes the traditional' set of government
educational and assistance functions to promote desired activities: Examples of how each option could be applied include
the following:
\iwma\sum\pdsum.doc fO/5/95 Summary 'Plan
VII - 5-4
.. . " ..
., .
,1. Waste Evaluations. IWMA staff: or contracted auditor, can provide waste audits for .County agencies, that can help
increase awareness. These audits are the first logical step toward knowing which specific source reduction options a
business should pursue. SB 1322 (Ch. 1096/89) provides for potential state assistance in conducting waste audits,
One low-cost activity is for the County to supply self-audit checklists to'businesses. ~aste audits should be designed
to provide a thorough review and analysis of the processes and materials used by an agency, business, or industry and
identification of wastes to reduce the waste generated. Waste audits should also review. current procurement practi~es
to evaluate potential substitUtion of recycled or reusable products forvirgin or disposal products. .
-
2. Pn-SiteCompostin~ Pro~s. On_-site composting is considered a source reduction activity wider AB 939. Site-of-
generation composting programs attempt to encourage producers of.organic material to compost on-site, prior to the
material entering the waste stream. This type of effort is most broadly applicable to yard debris, but may also be
extended to other organic wastes, such as food wastes produced by residences, farms, agricultural operations and by
institutions such as, schools and universities. Over a longer time frame, businesses that grow, process, or package
foods or other organic materials may be a viable target for this 1}'Pe ofpro~. .
,
, -
... Technical Assistance. The IWMA could provide technical and informational assistance to businesses and residents in
.J.
the jurisdictions by conducting workshops, seminars, and public demonstrations focusing on source reduction and on-
site or backyard compoSting programs. The IWMA may also encourage businesses to develop their own resource
pools (for jointly owned equipment 3l!d materials, or for joint buJk purchases; etc.) Under sa 132~ (Ch 1096/89), the
CIW1vffi may provide technical assistance to municipalities and businesse~ including the identifIcation. of specific
waste reduction options for use in the private sector;
, 4. Education and Promotion. 'Effective use of local newspapers, radio, and TV can help ensure the success of all of the
alternatives contained in the education and promotion category. The IWMA can offer consumer information through a
variety of means, including local advertising, bill inserts, etc. Information can cover many aspects of source reduction,
such as explaining a jurisdiction's planning process under AB939; providing tips on shopping practices that promote
source reduction (such as reuse of containers and packaging and buy~g. in bulk in order to xnin?nize packaging);
providing information on how to start food waste composting at home; or by providing forms for residents to remove
themselves from junk mail lists, etc. The IWMA can encourage (or require) retail outlets to offer paper packaging as a
better recyclable alternative to plastic packaging and can encourage (or require) that restaurants use reusable and
recyclable materials whenever possible. The IWMA could work with local supermarkets and retail stores to establish
an environmental shopping campaign to inform consumers about an item's environmental impact, durability,
reusability, and recyclability. The IWMA can also work with employers to encourage these businesses to provide
information to workers regarding source reduction at both work and home.
"
5. Public Recognition. Voluntary source reduction activities could be documented and publicly recognized through the
establishment of an awards program. A model source reduction awards program would recognize businesses,
community organizations, schools, or individuals that demonstrate "model" source reduction behavior through in-
house activities or through public outreach and education. .
SRRE - Source Reduction - Planned Program Descriptions -Regulatory Programs
-
The CCR requires consideration. of the following specific alternatives within this category: local land-use incentives or
disincentives, mandatory source reduction planning and reporting, and local bans on products or packaging. The IWMA
will be responsible for implementing selected program~, with the exception of land-use incentives which will. be the
responsibility of the jurisdictions.. ' .
,.
The regulatory programs us~ local legislative powers- to mandate specific actions, including those actions that mayor may
not result voluntarily from the other programs described in this section. The advantages of mandated alternatives. include
the public education that can result from highly visible actions, equal treatment of all parties, higher rates of participation,
and minimal use of jurisdiction, or IWMA funds. The disadvantages include -cost of implementation, administration, and ..
enforcement; potential resistance to the measures;- and the unknown potential for 8dversely affecting local commercial
activity. _ Examples of the alternatives are:'
\iwrila\sum\pdsum.doc 10/5/95 Summary Plan
VII-5-5
L I to. . ' .
l. Land-use IncentiveslDisincentives. . Establishing land-use planning policies is. an alternative that is generally better
suited to encouraging recycling than source reduction. One possibility is to encourage the rehabilitation rather than
replacement of old structures. This option would be pursued by the j~dictions.
. -
2. Mandatory Plannin~ and Reportin~. The IWMA could worle with each jurisdiction to establish requirements that local
commercial, industrial, and institutional waste generators conduct waste evaluations, and develop arid implement waste
reduction plans. These plans could outline recycling and waste reduction goals for that business, and identify plans to
reach those goals (e.g.,. plans for buying recycled paper, double-sided copying, reducing purchase of disposable
materials). Such a regulatory requirement could be made immediately. effective for new business licensees, and be
. phased-in for existing businesses, either on the basis of renewal dates or on the typeofbusiness.
3. Bans on Products or Packaiin~. Section 18734.3(dX4) of the CCR provides that a municipality can implement a ban
on a product or form of packaging, but only if it detennines that the ban will "...result in the reduction of waste at the
source, rather than substitution by another product or package.,." and that the ban results .....in a net environmental
benefit." Materials that are difficult to recycle or are a known threat to the environment, including a variety of types of
plastics, such as polystyrene food containers, and specific products, such as six-pack rings, have been the targets of
such bans. There is considerable controversy regarding the effect and the cost to affected parties of these bans.
However, they ha~e certainly focused public concern on serious waste-related problems and appear to have accelerated
changes in corporate manufacturing and marketing practices.. Products or packaging that. could potentially be targeted
by such an ordinance include varieties of plastic packaging that are relatively difficult to recycle, such as those made
from mixed resins, .or packaging that is deemed to be "excessive" based on specified criteria. The IWMA could look
. into the feasibility of establishing countywide bans on specific materials.
SRRE '" Source Reduction - Planned Program Descriptions - Economic Incentives
Section I 8734.3(b) of the CCR requires consideration of thiee specific fonns of economic incentives: loans, grants, and
loan guarantees; deposits, refunds, and rebates; and reduced business license fees. All economic incentives will be the
responsibility of the IWMA, with the exception of reduced business license fees. If reduced business license fees are .
implemented, they would be the responsibility of the jurisdictions.
Economic incentives use local revenues and licensing powers to encourage source reduction behavior by reducing the
relative cost of a desirable action. In general, and particularly with regard to the private sector, these incentives are used to
meet capital or one-time costs, rather than operating costs. There is a wide range of examples of how these incentives
could be used.
1. Loans. Grants. and Loan Guarantees. . The IWMA. can assist in obtaining low-;interest loans to assist businesses in
making. source reduction capital investments. The purchase of ,double-sided copying machines or the purchase of
industrial machinery that can use recycled feedstock to make new products are examples of source reduction capital
investments. The IWMA could also provide grants to loCal nonprofit organizations for development and promotion of
source reduction act.!vities; such as home composting workshops. Grants or loans could also be used to help initiate a
local or countywide waste exchange effort.
2.' Deposits. Refunds. and Rebates. Deposits that are refundable at the time of replacement can be used to discourage the
disposal of items such as auto or household batteries, tires, white goods, etc. Rebates can be offered when a recycled
. alternative is purchased, such as a battery charger or retreaded tires.
3. Business License Fees. Licensing fe:es or other Start-up costs could be reduced by the jurisdictions for those "source
reduction businesses" such as repair shops, second-hand stores, and co-ops that provide consumer education regarding
source reduction. Reduced licensing fees can also be offered to businesses that develop and implement source
reduction programs and who offer source reduction infonnation to customers such as nontoxic alternatives to
household hazardous products, and to stores that encourage reuse of packaging.

SRRE - Source Reduction - Planned Program Descriptions - Rate Structure Modification
Section 18734.4(a) of the CCR requires consideration of two alternatives within this category:. modifications- to local
disposal fees and quantity-based local end-user fees. Modifications to local disposal fees will. be. the responsibility of the
IWMA based upon an agreement reached among the IWMA jurisdictions. Institution of quantity-based end-user fees
(variable can rates) will be the responsibility of the jurisdictions.
Rate structure modifications can increase the disposal cost of waste materials to better reflect the true cost of disposal and .
to encourage reduction, reuse, or recycling. T:-vo examples are:
.
l. Modified Di~osal Fees. Potential disposal fee modifications include increased differential rates for disposal of
specific materials such as bulky, hard to handle, or nonrecyclable materials. Such a fee could be placed directly on the
item before purchase,as an advance recycling fee (more commonly referred to as an advance disposal fee). An
advance disposal fee is an identified sum of money ch!rged to the manufacturer of a' product representing the waste
management costs of that product including disposal costs and/or processing/recycling costs. Manufacturers pass these
costs on to the distributor, who in turn passes the costs on to the retailer who passes the costs on to the consumer.
Implementing an advanced disposal fee at a jurisdictional leve~ however, could create soine significant administrative
difficulties and costs. If the fee is only applicable to a single county, some distributors may not :want to handle the
. increased administrative burdens of selling to that county (even though their additional costs wouldbe passed on to the
consumer). Additionally, consumers may choose to buy their goods in counties which don't have advance disposal
fees. .
,.
2. Quantity-Based End-User Fees. Refuse collection rates for residences, as well as for commercial and industrial
accounts, could be restructured by setting a cost for waste collection based on either weight or volume, rather than a
flat assessment. An example is a variable can rate. A variable can_ rate charges parties receiving refuse collection
services by the number of containers set ou,t, with each additional container charged at either a.lower, similar, or higher
rate.
. Some cities, primarily those with mostly urban populations, have found it necessazyto charge a higher rate for the first
standard-service container and a fee lower than the standard-use container fee for each additional container. It is
argued that this type of rate. structure, compared to rate structures which offer a lower first-container fee, is necessary
in order to ~arantee that disposal costs are covered. .However, this is not believed to be the best way to encourage
source reduction. Rate structures can be modified to put the cost burden on the second, or additional can, with the
expectation that most residents will switch to the one can rate. Offering a lower rate for a 20-gallon container or
"mini-can" further encourages residents to reduce the amount of waste disposed.

SRRE - Recycling - Programs Descriptions - Source Separation Programs
. ..
1. Drop-Off Centers. Drop-off centers receive materials donated by the public. .Drop-off centers are typically the least
expensive to establish; They can accept one material (newspaper being the most common) or a full range of
materials including newspapers, cOlTUgated cartons, high-grade papers, glass, iuumin~inlbimetal cans, scrap
metal, and other materials, depending on local market conditions. Targeted drop-off programs can be developed to
enhance recycling opportunities at special events or at schools, beaches, ~d to~ attractions.
2. Buy-Back Centers'. Buy-back centers purchase' recyclables directly from the public and from commercial
. businesses... AB 2Q20 Certified ..Redemption. Centers are classified as buy-back centers. The buy-back- system
.. provides an economic incentive to the public and can recover significant portions of the waste stream that may not
otherwise be recycled. Buy-back ce~ters often target aluminum ~ because, of their higher sales value and
\iwma\sum\pdsum.doc 10/5/95 Summary Plan

..' ~ ~ ..
I ..
resulting profit margin. Newspaper, glass, corrugated cartons, plastics, aluminumltinlbimetal cans, scrap ~etal, and
high-grade paper are other materials often purchased at buy-back centers. .
Buy-back centers must be stiffed at regular hours. Weighing, processing, marketing, management, and
bookkeeping operations require full-time employees, with the number of employees proportional to the tonnage of
recyclab~es. Buy-back centers are more labor- and equipment-intensive than droP-off programs and may require
magnetic separators and tlattenerlblowers for cans as well as glass crushers, balers for paper and 'corrugated cartons,
. forklifts, computer pay-out systems, and truclcing capabilities. - -
-
3. Mobile Buy-Back Operations. This alternative is similar to the buy-back alternative because it also purchases
recyclables directly from the public. However, it useS a vehicle andlor trailer for all customer transactions and
materials storage required during operations. Mobile buy-backs can be used in areas where land use patterns and
population density rates are insufficient to warrant a full-time buy-back. The mobile buy-back concept allows
maximum use of equipment and personnel and extends recycling opportunities to remote areas that would not
usually have access to recycling services. . . .'
A pilot study is being performed by the California Department of Conservation (DOC) to asSess the benefits of this
program. At this time mobile buy-backs are not certified by the DOC, and not allowed to pay redemption value to
the public. However, the progiam was chosen for review ii1. this report because of its potential suitability to many
areas in San Luis Obispo County. ,
4. Curbside Recycling Pro~ms. Curbside recycling involves the scheduled collection of recyclables which residents
place at their curbs. Curbside collection provides the maXimum convenience to residents and, compared to drop-off
and buy-back centers, consistently recovers the highest tonnage of recyclables from the residential wast~ stream.
Several operating features affect the diversion potential of curbside recycling, an4 few programs are entirely alike.
Factors such as the number and type of materials Collected, the frequency of collection, the amount of commingling
of material types allowed, and the degree of publicity and public education can --affect program perfoqnance.
. Although it! increases program costs, the practice' of providing storage containers to households has become more
prevalent, because containers encourage participation'.
. ' .
. .
Collection routes are typically serviced by a one-person crew in a vehicle .equipped with compartments to hold
separated materials. An array of balers, magnetic separators, can densifiers, and conveyor sorting lines are used at . .
_processing facilities for the curbside-collected mate~als.
.-
Curbside recycling involves extensive program. management, material collection, material processing, and
promotion. Capital costs usually include vehicles, household containers, a storage site; and processing equipment.
Operating costs are dominated by high labor and. transportation outlays as well as amortization of debt and
promotion. costs. Sale of materials generates revenues" but the _major economic benefit is often the avoided cost of
landfilling. Revenues from the sale of the materials collected in c~side program~ are rarely, if ever, sufficient to
cover the program costs.
5. Multi-Unit Residential Recyclin~ Pro~s. Collecting recyclables from multi-unit residential buildings is similar to
curbside recycling"collection. in that it provides a convenient means for househol~ to recycle. However, there are
significant operating differences between curbside collection and collection from multi-unit buildings. . -
Placing recyclables at curbside is not practical for most residents of apartment buildings, condominium complexes,
or other high-density dwellings. Because of storage constraints for recyc;lables in apartments, most storage takes
piace in centralized locations, such as the disposal areas. The storage containersJor the recyclables are ,typically
used by several households, must be accessible to both the residents and the collection vehicle, and may require an
automated collection vehicle to empty the containers. -
.. .
,Although multi-unit programs are ofte11 considered distinct from curbside recycling programs, levels of coordination
can exist between curbside and Multi-Unit recycling programs, including processing, marketing, and shared use of
equipment.

'. ... l t..,
6. Commercial Source S~aration Pro~s. Many'types of commercial establishments offer opportunities for source
separation recycling because of the high concentrations of recyclables found in their discarded materials.
Historically" the presence of commercial recycling programs has been highly dependent on market prices and on
private entrepreneurial efforts. However, in the last several years, local governments have been working with
private industry to implement full-scale co~ercial source separation recycling programs.
. ..~
7. Commercial Col1ection. The material most often targeted for commercial source seParation collection is corrugated
cardboard, one of the largest components of the commercial waste stream that can be readily recycled. Many
generators of corrugated containers have ongoing recovery programs., Nevertheless; there' often remains a
significant amount of unrecovered corrugated cardboard in the commercial waste stream, depending on the
concentration of commercial and manufacturing businesses in. the community.
The collection of glass containers. especially from bars and restaurants, is also becoming a major focus of
commercial recycling efforts. This is particularly true in California, where. the glass industry is actively promoting
the concept Other materials collected are metals, plastics, textiles, and oils, usually by scrap dealers who have mad~
arrangements with large waste generators. The main potential for increased recovery will be with the smaller
generators, such as convenience markets or small retail outlets.
8. Office Paper Recovery. .The recovery of high-grade papers, such as white ledger paper and ~omputer printouts,
represents an important recycling opportunity. Office paper recycling at the desk started primarily in the public
sector, spurred by federal programs in the late 1970s. Since then several large businesses and paper manufacturers,
in addition to many smaller operators, have entered the office paper recycling fi~)(i.
In addition to the public sector, office paper recycling programs are becoming more prevalent in the educational,
utility; banking, and insurance sectors. At-the-desk recovery programs are less frequently provided to small offices
because of lower office paper volumes. Multi-tenant office building programs are also less common because of the
relative difficulty in coordinating unrelated tenants~
SRRE - Recycling - Program Descriptions - Mixed Waste ROC?very Program /
1. Material Reuse/Recovery Operations. Material reuse/recovery operations are a hybrid of traditional drop-off centers
and landfill salvage operations which are operated in conjunction with material recovery and floor-sort facilities.
The increasing need for waste reduction and material reuse activities prompts the need for reuse/recovery operations.
Reuse/recovery operations are usually located at transfer stations and landfill facilities, and usually target the
uncompacted self-haul fraction of the residential and commercial waste streams. In areas where landfill space is at a
premium, . waste management agencies may require that targeted recoverable materials be' separated prior to
., '
landfilling.
One version of a material reuse/recovery operation would require all drivers of uncompacted self-haul loads arriving
at County landfills or a future transfer station/MRF to separate and place recyclable and reusable materials in
designated containers prior to disposing of the remaining nontargeted materials. The program operator then sorts,
stores, and transfers recovered materials to aVailable markets.
2. Diversion at the Landfill. Diversion of recoverable materials', such, as ferrous and nonferrous metals, white goods,
and other marketable materials, is common practice at many landfills. Materials that are deposited at the working
face of a landfill are examined and any materials with recyclable or reuse value are separated from the other
materials which are then buried in' the landfill This alternative is labor intensive, and usually requires minimal
equipment other than storage containers, and shared use of the rolling equipment (tractor, bulldozer, or loader)
already used at the tipping face of the landfilL
As with other manual materials rec~very operations, the types' of materials targeted generally depend upon the
availability of markets or other outlets for the materials, and their availability and quality in .the loads which are
received. LandfIll dive_rsion may use existing workers. or be contracted to private firms or individuals (both are
\iwma\sum\pdsuni.doc 10/5/95 f

. VI1-5-12 .
.. , 1 .. ,
common practices). The County will work closely with the landfill operator if this program is to be implemented.
Landfill salvaging has been attempted at Cold Canyon Landfill in the past by a private out-of-county firm and is
practiced on a very limited scale at the other County landfills.
3. Floor-Sort Recovery (manual). The floor-sort recovery system involves several workerS who manually pick through
loads that have been emptied onto a designated working area of a transfer station or landfill. In many cases tront-
end loaders are used to assist with "the' recovery operation. ' Floor-sort recovery operations typically target
uncompacted loads of material such as debris boxes and self-hauled material, and are often used in conjunction with
a public disposal area. Although floor-sort operations most often target uncompacted loads, they can also be used to
. recover material trom select commercial packer loads that. contain a high perc.entage of recoverable materials. To
service the unincorporated areas of the County, a floor-sort recovery program could be cooperatively developed at a
site in the North or South County wastesheds.
The floor-sort consists of a tipping area where targeted loads are dumped and sorted manually into bins for the
temporary storage of recovered material. The types of materials targeted would depend upon the types of materials
received and the availability of markets or other outlets for the materials. In general, wood, soil and other inerts,
metals, and cardboard materials may be among the major focus of recovery efforts. Rejects trom the system would
be transferred to the landfill for disposal. These systems, which are also commonly referred to as recycling pad
operations, can be implemented at existing transfer stations or landfills or in conjunction with":more mechanized
material recovery operations. Because floor-sort systems target specific loads with significant quantities of
recoverable materials, an effective system for identifying target loads entering the facility must be dev~loped.
4. Materials Recovery Facility (mechanical). In a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), mixed discards are usually'
roughly sorted to remove large or undesirable materials and then placed on a conveyor belt. The conveyor moves
the material to a picking area (station) where workers pull off recyclables and place them in temporary storage bins
for further processing, baling, or shipping to market. . Sometimes additional conveyors may be incorporated into the
system to move recyclables to the baling infeed system. -Another approach is to'remove contaminants and leave the
primary .component - usually mixed paper - on the belt. This is most ~ffective when the feed material is very rich
in the primary component and contamination is not exc~ssive.. To service San Luis Obispo CountY, a MRF could be
cooperatively developed at a site in the North or South County wastesheds.
In addition. to hand-picking materials trom the belt, mechanical sorting equipment such as magnetic or air vacuum .
equipment can also be used in MR.F operations.MRFs may process between 200 and 1,000 tons per day (TPD) and
can be constructed in modules to allow for increases in the 'average tonnage processing requirements of a facility.
Recovery efficiency depends greatly on the type of incoming discards, the target materials, and the type of
operation.
Typically, a MRF works best in locations where sufficient tonnage volume is available. This increases the cost-
effectiveness of process operations because the primary revenue for operators is tipping fees, not revenue generated
trom the sale of recovered materials. Flow control agreements are usually required to ensure that the MRF can meet
project fmance'requirements set by lenders.
Usually jurisdictions' agree in concept to participate in a multi-jurisdictional arrangement with other interested
jurisdictions to develop and implement a conceptual master plan for this type of system. Typically, alead agency or
a designated waste management authority assumes responsibility for th~ development, design, construction,and
operation of a multi-jurisdictional processing system.
Selective routing of miXed waste collection vehicles contributes to enhanced material recovery operations efficiency.
- The degree to which material can be feasibly and economically recovered trom a mixed load is directly. related to
. both the quantity and the quality of materials in Ii specific load. Haulers can organize the collection routes so that
accounts with significant amounts of high -quality (minimally contaminated) target materials are collected on distinct
routes; Accounts known to contain significant quantities of ~ntaminants, such as restaUrants, food processors; and
other businesses that contain wet or otherwise undesirable mate~, can be kept separate. Customer storage
requirements can also be modified in conjuncJ:ion with selective routing to increase the availability of high-quality
materials.
\iwma\sum\pdsum.doc 10/5/95 "Summary Plan
VIl-5-13
l . . , "
. .
It should be noted that a MRF can be designed to incorporate all the recovery capabilities ascribed to both the
material reuse/recovery operations and the floor-sort recovery system described earlier. It is assumed -that selection
of a MRF would preclude selection of the other two systems.
San Luis Obispo County may choose to develop mixed materials recovery capability over time. At .first, the
facilities could serve as Intennediate Processing Centers (IPCs) which process mixed recyclables from curbside
, -
collection programs. As the need for additional recovery increases, floor-sort capability could be added. to process
clean commercial loads. By the year 2000, it is possible that the County will need to process the mixed waste
stream. Picking lines with conveyors as well as mechanical equipment for increasing recovery capabilities could be
added to the facilities to proce~s mixed loads. This approach allows for introduction 'of emerging technologies and .
equipment over time..
5, Local Government Pro~s to Procure Recycled Products. State law now allows local governments to establish
. price preferences and to defme the amount of that preference. National studies have shown that in practice, even
when 5 to 10 percent price preferences are offered, actual prices paid for recycled paper are lower.
. .
The bidding process can be modified to reduce costs for suppliers of preferred material by offering longer contracts
and smaller bid groupings that are specific to subgrades of a particular material, such as paper. Suppliers of recycled
materials may then compete more easily on a cost basis with suppliers of virgin materials. Preferences for durability
or ease of repair could be applied to vehicles and to office equipment and other machinery to increase the useful life .
. of these purchases.
Procurement policies encouraging the use of goods made with post-consumer materials do not achieve any diversion
credit for the implementing jurisdiction. It is critical, however, that San Luis Obispo County have a strong recycled
material procurement commitment to demonstrate and promote the use of recycled products. Without such a
commitment, San Luis Obispo County will be neglecting an important opportunity- to encourage markets for
recovered materials. San Luis Obispo County currently gives up to 10 percent price preference f~r the purchase or
recyCled paper. The County prints aI1 business cards on recycle.d stock. Additionally, the County is developing a
- comprehensive procurement policy.

5.2.2.5 SRRE - Recycling - Planned Contingency Measures
1. The regUlations call for a description of measures to be taken if circumstances prevent jurisdictions from satisfying the
requirements of the 1995 and 2000 diversion goals. Listed below are examples of programs which could serve to
further improve source reduction in the event that existing programs do not meet the diversion goals.
1. Examine ho~ disposal materials can be replaced with reusable products and how governmental office practices can be
modified to produce less waste.
2. Investigate the feaSibility and implement the corresponding program to establish a countywide waste exchange for
governmental departments

5.2.3 S,RRE- Co"!posting
Composting is a solid waste management option that can significantly reduce the amount of waste the jurisdictions must
landfil~. Composting is defmed as controlled biological decomposition that converts raw organic matter into a stabilized
humus product. . The potential for composting to help San Luis Obispo County meet the AB 939 waste diversion goal of 50
percent can be appreciated by taking a look at San Luis Obispo County's waste characterization: compostable organic ..
materials comprise about 6.3 percent by weight of the total waste stream.. While the diversion of all these materials is not
practical, many of these materials are reasonably easy to segregate from municipal solid waste (MSW). This section
discusses how composting is included in San Luis Obispo County's strategy to reach or exceed the legislated goals of 25
percent diversion by 1995 and 50 percent diversion by the year 2000.
5.2.3.1 SRRE- Composting - Current Program Listing . .
~
In the unincorporated county, the Rossi Transportation Company, of Templeton, transports 5,200 tons per year of horse
manure from horse stables to mus~m growers in Monterey County.
. .
In MOlTO Bay, Rock Solid Recycling is currently collecting and composting yard debris for residential. customers. Grass,
leaves, plant waste, branches and brush as' well as wood materials and lumber are collected. The CitY of Paso Robles is
operating a curbside greenwaste program. The garbage hauler collects residential curbside greenwaste, including lawn
clippings, leaves, weeds-and smaIl twigs, twice a month. This greenwaste is transported to Rossi Transportation Composting
Facility in Templeton for composting and retail as landsCape material and mulch.
The other jurisdictions do not have fonnal compostin~ programs. Any composting is limited and has not been not been
quantified.

SRRE - Composting - Program Descriptions - Yard Debris
Source-separated yard debris is cOllected from both residential and 'commercial generators on a dedicated route and taken to the .
composting site(s). A ,pilot program should test co-collection of yard debris with the nonnal trash run. Homeowners,
landscapers,.and other businesses may also haul yard debris to the composting facility or laridfill. Transfer trailers are used to
_ transport the compost from the landfill to the compo~ site. An outside windrow composting method would likely be adequate.
The yard debris coUld also be ,used as a bulking agent for municipal sludge composting.
.
The yard debris composting program will focus on and divert the majority of yard debris generated iIi the jurisdictions. A
small portion of manure and other organics will also be composted. A pilot program, starting in .1995 will test a collection
system and facility technology and expand into a full~scale program by 1996. .
Because the waste management industry is growing increasingly soph~cated in its approa~h to collection of source-separated
wastes, 'it is premature for the jurisdictions to commit ~lf to a specific collection option., For the pwpose of developing
needed data for this plan., however, a collection systeri1 has been assumed. This assumed plan: will be considered by the
jurisdictions for implementation. However, the jurisdictions are committed to further analysis which will tletermine the actual
collection system to be selected. The assumed composting program servi~s residentia! and Commercial accounts, ,providing
residenceS with 90 gallon rolting containers and conUnercial accounts with 3 yar~ dumpsters. Autorilated packer trucks will
collect residential accounts at least once-a-month and commercial accounts at least twice-a-month on dedicated routes. The
yard debris will be hauled directly to a composting facility, where the material will be shredded and composted in windrows.
The windrows will be turned by a specialized compost turner or a bucket loader and screened to produce a uniform, finished '
product
COInmercial, industrial, and self-haulers will be encouraged either through ordinances or rate incentives to deliver clean loads
.of yard debris to the .composting facility.- The composting facility will accept other, dean organic materials such as grape
pumice and aninial manure as long as the facility permit or, product quality are not jeopardized. Loca1 and regional markets
will be developed and cooperative marketing arrangements with other jurisdictions will be investigated. Wood debris from
recycling collection programs will ,be diverted to compOstUlg irneeded to obtain 25 percent diversion by 1995. Otherwise,
. wood debris 'will be shredded and sold as fue~ and only the fines' (1 0 perce~t) will be composted.
SRRE - Composting - Program Descriptions - Source Separated Organics
Source-separated food and yard debris are either co-collected with trash or-collected separately on a dedicated route. These
materials are composted to produce a clean, agricu1~ grade compost Mixed and "other" paper (wet or otherwise non-
marketable) is collected with the recyclables and co-composted with sewage sludge. . If sewage sludge composting is not
desired, paper can be collected and co-composted with the yard and food debris. The composting process would be similar to
.that for MSW.
This prograni has the potential to divert a sizable portion of the waste stream. However, its exact form should not be decided
until the former yard debris program is evaluated. _ The recommendation is to participate in a multi-jurisdictional ,study and
pilot proj~ to explore the collection options and identify efficiencies and constraints. While.the jurisdiction's emphasis on
source sepafation of organics may require substantial preliminary study and effort, it is ,likely to preclude later marketing
problems.

Organic materials such ~ food scraps, yard debris, dirt, and wet or non-marketable paper and cardboard are mechanically or

could be co-composted with the. MSW organics..' . ,
5,2.3.3 SRRE - Composting - Planned Contingency Measures _
I Section I 8736.4.(b ) of the AB 939 regulations calls for a description of the measures to be taken if uneconomical market
. conditions or other unfavorable conditions prevent the participating jurisdictions from satisfying the reqUirementS of the 1995
and 2000 diversion goals. Marketing objectives are'listed below that will ~ignificantly improve the marketability of compost
products.. The marketing plan strives to attain the highest -and best use for the compost products, but would resort to any
bendicial use qualifying for diversion credit, including:
1. Use of compost as daily or final landfill cover material (permit required).
2. Reclamation of impacted land, such as gravel pits. construction' sites, or eroded hillsides.
3. Marginal agricultural land . improvement projects. .
Subsi~d large-scale application to local farmland. According to recent studies, the nutrient value of compost will more than
offset its application cost However, if compost supply exceeds demand, municipalities could pay for the transportation of the
compost to the farm sites. '
ContiIigency measureS may be required if the compost program diversion objectives are not being met These may include
more frequent product quality monitoring and broader quality control measures, and measures to ensure that the target
collection rate for the yard debris is met through such means as:
1. Increasing the frequency and converiience of the collection program.
2. Passing ordinances . either banning yard debris from the landfill or requiring source. separation by residents and
businesses.
3. Creating (more) economic incentive for source separation through variable rateS.
4. 'Reviewing the compost processing to identify opportunities to decrease the residue rate and thereby increase the
tormage diverted.
. ~ SRRE - Composting - Marketing Strategies
.1. Development and dissemination of a brochure informing residents and businesses how to participate in the collection
program. '
2. Multi-media press releases promoting the program.
3. Competent staff to organize promotion effort, answer questions via "hot line," and conduct presentations at schools and
public meetings. .. .
. . .
4. Market Development. " .
5. Develop and disseminate promotional material to pr:ospective end-users.
6. Organize product demonstrationS: .
7. Work with targeted end-users Such as the jurisdiction's Public- Works Department, lands~ and nurseries to
encourage use of products, ' .
8.. Organize a cooperative marketing effort with other jurisdictions to tap large and/or outside markets.

5.2.4 SRRE - Special Waste
The Special Waste Component for San Luis Obispo County identifies existing handling and disposal practices, reviews
methods to minimize the hazardous potential of the wastes, descnoes waste diversion activities, evaluates potential waste
diversion programs, and recommends specific programs to help San Luis Obispo County achieve the waste diversion
mandates of AB 939.
This Special Waste Component examines certain.wastes that require special handling and disposal. A special waste is
defined by the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to include "any hazardous waste listed in Section
66740 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, or any waste that has been classified. as a special waste pursuant to
Section 66744 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, or which has been granted a variance for the purpose of
storage, transportation, treatment, or disposal by the Department of Health Services pursuant. to Section 66310 of Title 22
of the California Code of Regulations." . In addition, special waste includes any waste that, at its sdurce of generation,
contains physical, chemical. or biological conditions that require special handling or disposal. AB 939 requires that ash,
sewage sludge, industrial sludge, asbestos, shredder waSte, auto bodies, and other special wastes be included in the list of
special wastes examined. For San Luis Obispo County, other special wastes discussed in this component include
construction and demolition debris, tires, and white goods.

5 2.4.2 SRRE - Special Waste - Current Program Descriptions- -
This section briefly descnoes the current programs.
. ASBESTOS
,
Asbestos is considered a special waste because it may pose significan~ public health problems when inhaled or ingested.
Because of the hazardous nature of asbestos, no safe diversion, recycling, or reusealtematives are feasible, Landfilling is the
only disposal practice currently employed. By isolating the asbestos waste, proper safety measures and handling procedures
can be efficiently and effectively implemented.. There are currently minimal amounts of asbestos waste generated in the
jurisdictions. Since as!>estos diversion options are not practical and the hazardous potential of the material is minimized
through proper handling, storage, transportation, and disposal regulations, asbestos will not be addreSsed further. .
ASH
Ash is a residue trom combustion of any.solid or liquid material The. Solid Waste Generation Study identified no generators
of ash in the jurisdictions. However, Pismo Beach does generates a small quantity of ash.. The quantities are too small to
consider a recycling- or diversion program for this material No recycling or diversion .programs will be considered for this
material. '-
"'
AUTO BODIES /.
Historically, auto bodies have not been landfilled. A solid marlcet for spare partS and a high demand for ferrous and nonferrous
scrap have kept vehicles out of the landfills. . Many auto-wrecking businesses have evolved in the private sector to become
what are now referred to as auto dismantlers and recyclers, or auto salvagers; and are linked by a nationwide computer system.
Computerized inventories have simplified parts selection for the walk-in customer and have expanded the marlcets for used
parts to include nationwide sales. '-- \
Scrap yards process auto bodies to recover ferrous and nonferrous (in particular, aluminum) metals: The vehicles are stripped
of valuable p~ and tires, flattened, and shredded to recOve: the me13ls.. Vehicles are a major ~ource of the ferrous scrap being
. recycled today.
Auto body disposal problems do not ~xist in the jurisdictions. Unwanted vehicles have historically been diverted trom the
landfills to well-established auto salvaging and scrap mCtal operations., Because auto parts are currently reused and the scrap
metal troin the auto bodies is reclaimed., no further reuse or recycling programs. will be considered..
SHREDDER W A~TE -
Shredder waste is the material remaining after metallic articles such as auto bodies, appliances, and sheet metal are shredded..
Because shredder waste is not generated within.the county, it is not discussed further in this component

CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLmON DEBRIS
. .
Construction and demolition debris includes building materiaIs. packaging, and rubble resulting from construction, remodeling,
repair, and demolition of pavement, houses, commercial buildings, and other structures. Typical materials in this category
include rock, concrete, brick,' asphalt, sand, fmes, wood, sheetrock, and ferrous and nonferrous metals. This component
focuses on three materials: asphalt, concrete, and sheetrock. Along with asphalt, concrete, and shf;etrock, scrap metal and
construction wood will be targeted for diversion. . I
Wood and scrap metals will be recovered .atthe salvage operation at the landfill. In the short term, source separated loads will .
be delivered to private sector operations or to the expanded drop-off program there. In the mediUm term, these materials that
are found in the.mixed waste strean;'- will be delivered directly to the materials recovery facility.
, .
Atascadero Mutual Water Company currently uses old construction and cOncrete for shoring up river banks and dikes.
However, this project is .likely to be completed in 1992.
Paso Robles bas been the fastest growing city in the county and therefore a significant amount of construction material, such as
drywall and construction lumber, is generated. Due to the cold weather in -this part of the county, a majoritY of the construction
lumber is reused as fireplace wood. Although wood burning is not quantifiable as a diversion activity according to the CCR, it
is estimated that this activity diverts approximately 200 tons per year that would otherwise be landfilled. Old asphalt and
concrete is currently used by the City Street Division as riprap and check dams. Because it is a group of materials that can be
easily source separated, Paso Robles and other jurisdictions will investigate expanding the existing program. .Paso Robles has a
standard condition of approval for construction projects to sort separate waste materials. such as wood wastes and concrete.
SEWAGE SUIDGE
Most sewage sludge in California is disposed of through landfilling.. When formal regulatory determination has been
requested, the Department of Health Services (DHS) usually.bas classified this waste as nonhazardous. Without tinifonn
statewide criteria for c;lassifying designated waste, some RWQCBs are applying stringent criteria and classifying the sludge as
designated waste. Disposal of sludge with more than 50 percent liquids at a Class IDlandfill requires special management for
leachate control.
Sewage sludge in the City of San -Luis Obispo is diverted from landfill by land application. Sludge has been stockpiled at the
corporation yard at 35 Prado Road. Contract. negotiations have been conducted for transfer of the stockpiled sludge for
compost processing, co-composting with municipal landscape trimmings, or land application.
The wastewater treatment plant at Pismo Beach produces a sludge with a low moisture content, so land application is a more
cost-effective means of disposal. Tbe City of Paso Robles dries the waste water sludge produced at the wastewater treatInent
plant This sludge is transported to. the City landfill and utilized as a soil amendment for intermediate landfill cover.
Atascadero has a similar progfam whereby biosolids from tJ:ie wastewater treatment plant are transported to Chicago Grade
landfill. . -
INDUSTRIAL SLUDGE .
Industrlal sludge is liquid or semi-liquid waste generated by industry. and manufacturers. With the exception of Paso Robles
and San Luis Obispo, there are no industrial sludge producers within the County.
Pacific Coast Circuits, Inc., a plating company. in the City of San Luis Obispo, produces industrial sludge in significant
quantities. Pacific Coast Circuits transfers industrial sludge to Arizona for material recovery processing of heavy metals.
In Paso' Robles, Sunbank Electronic, Inc., generates sludge which is transferred out of the county to Chemical Waste
Management Landfill, Kettleman Hills, California, for diSposal.
TIRES
Tires are classified as a special waste because they are difficult to manage and dispose of at landfills~ Tires are known for their
handling difficulties, consisting of the tire "float" phenomenon, fire hazard potential, and vector problems.
\iwma\sum\pdsum.doc 10/5/95 Summary Plan
VII-5-24
'. . ..
In all the jurisdictions except Arroyo Grande and the unincorporated COWlty, tires are collected for retread and whole-tire
incineration for fuel from tire dealers and from containers sited at Cold Canyon Landfill by Oxford Tire Company.
Additionally, the City of Paso Robles uses recycled tire robber in its major asphalt overlay projects. Twenty-five percent of the
tires collected by Oxford are processed for retread. The unincorporated CoWlty is concerned that the tires are accumulated in
stockpiles and is in the process of investigating oth~ .sources for tire recycling.
..; .
Because tires are bullcy, h~d to control in landfills; and a potential hazard, San Luis Obispo COWlty will consider expanding its
tire management practices.
WHITE GOODS . ,
Diversion of white goods is accomplished through cmrent salvaging operations in the private sector. White goods in decent
condition are'repaired and reused ifpossible. Scrap metal is recovered from the remaining white goods. White goods refer to
paint-coated appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, air conditioners, and other bullcy appliances. Landfilling,
shredding, or compacting white goods for transport poses a potential hazard Electric appliances produced or repaired before
1979 contain polychlorinated biphenyls PCB) in the electrical capacitors. PCBs are a human carcinogen and therefore have
been classified as a hazardous waste. In addition, CbIorofluorocarbons(CFC) are -foWld in refiigeration and cooling systems.
CFCs deplete stratospheric ozone and therefore are a potential environmental hazard.
.:
. During landfilling, shredding, or compaction the capacitors and cooling units are damaged and release hazardous substances;
therefore, the hazardous components must be removed from the white goods before these activities.
Homes are the primary generator of this waste. Discarded white goods may be:.
. Taken by the appliance dealers
. Transported by an individual to the landfill or scrap yard
. Picked up on "clean up" days by the hauler and diverted from the landfill
. Donated to a charity, such as Goodwill Industries or the Salvation Army
. Salvaged on site at the landfill
In.the discussion of the special wastes, conclusions regarding the. investigation of diversion alte~tives were stated for.each
material '
Herman Justice and Sons bales and traIisports white. goods diverted in the Cold Canyon wasteshed to markets outside of the
County. Heilman Salvage and Metals in Atascadero accepts white goods for recycling from generators throughout the County.
5.2.4.3 SRRE - Special Waste - Planned Programs
Each jurisdiction selected special waste management programs targeting three special wastes in the waste stream for
implementation: white goods recycling, repair and, reuse; construction and demolition debris recycling; and a
comprehensive tire management program. Each program consists of several tasks. Some of the tasks will be performed by
each jurisdiction's staff. However, the majority of the tasks are regionally applicable and will be carried out by the IWMA
in cooperation with the jurisdictions. The selected programs are scheduled to begin in the short-term planning period. The
special waste management programs selected are Iisted below. The City of San Luis Obispo.did not identify physical reuse
of tires oTtire shredding as tasks in their SRRE.

5,2.4 4 SRRE - Special Waste - Planned Program Descriptions
l. White goods recycling. repair and reu'se: , The jurisdictions will. implement a public education campaign to
promote repair and reuse and prepare a "how-to" brochure for home repairs. White goods have been considered as a
program for management of the County's special wastes. Diversion of white goods is accomplished through current
salvaging operations m the private sector. White goods in decent condition are repaired and reused if possible. Scrap
metal is recovered trom the remaining white goods. The program could. be enhanced by emphasizing the recovery of
hazardous materials witlrin the white goods. Recovery of CFCs, specifically Freon trom coolant components, and
polychlorinated biphenyls trom transformers will comply with the intent of the AB 939 mandates.
,
2. Construction and demolition debris recyCling: The jurisdictions will study grinding and milling operations, research
markets for recycled asphalt, concrete, and sheetrock, and educate contractors on disposal practices~
The asphalt, concrete, and sheetrock recycling program ~elected for San Luis Obispo County will rely on source
separation of debris and recycling of materials by private contractors. The jurisdictions will deliver its concrete and
asphalt to private milling facilities as is economically feasible. Mixed loads of construction and demolition debris will be
stockpiled and diverted as clean fill. Sheetrock will be source separated and delivered to private grinding operations for
reuse as a soil amendment in place of lime. The participation of each .jurisdiction will be monitored and additional
diversion opportunities identified for materials generated by each jurisdictions' departments.' Recycling rates will be
increased by changing disposal practices and increasing source separation methods. All the jurisdictions will encourage
the private sector to recycle asphalt, concrete, and sheetrock. Specifically, construction contracts will require contractors
to source separate debris and deliver recyclables to recycling facilities. The jurisdictions will not only recycle'asphalt,
concrete, and sheetrock material. but will also establish a policy to encourage use of recycled materials in construction
projects. Construction'specifications will be revised to encourage or require the use of recycled materials in material
specifications.
SLO only: A certificate will be developed by the city which will validate the tons involved and the recyc~g method used.
',.
SLO only: Wood and scrap metals will be recovered at the salvage operation at the landfilL In the short term, source
separated loads will be delivered to private sector operations or to the expanded drop-off program there. In the medium
term, these materials that are found in the mixed waste stream will be delivered dire~y to the materials recovery facility.
3. Tire Management Program
,
Tire Retreadin~ (CNlY AG. AT. PR. GR MB. PR SLQ): Retreading tires is a program that receives diversion credit
and confonns to the jurisdiction's ability to effect policy change in its practices. The retreading program will be reviewed
to identify areas 'where the diversion rate can be increased. If the purchase price of passenger tires increases, retread
services may also be used for passenger car tires. - I,.astly, the IWMA will encourage. the. private sector and general public
to use retread tires. This will be done thro~gh educational material developed by the IWMA.
Tire Reuse Pro~ (CNlY. AT. PR. GB. MB, PB): A tire reuse program will ~ established by the IWMA to encourage .
the physical reuse of tires and coordinate reuse projects if necessary. Pl;1ysical reuse applications. will be developed and
'. implemented at the regional level and in the private sector. Reuse options may include direct use of old tires for landscape
borders, playground mateIiaIs, and other innovative pwposes. Although the physical reuse program may not have the
potential to divert a large quantity of tires, it has been selected because it is an educational tool that shows commitment to
recycling. Develop literature on the benefits and uses of scrap tires, coordinate tire reuse projects.

, i ~ , ".
.
Crumb Rubber: (CNTY. AG AT. PR GB. PB SLO):The IWMA wiIrinvestigate the use of crumb rubber to further
increase the tire diversion rate. . Rubberized asphalt paving specifications will be developed and implemented, if feasible.
In addition, the IWMA will identify other areas in which it can use crumb rubber, such as sports and recreationaL surfaces.
As a demand develops for the material, the private sector may be motivated to produce crumb rubber. The jurisdictions
could explore the possibility of attracting a crum~ rubber. facility through assistance from the state market development
zone program. -
Tire Derived Fuel (TDF) : Tire derived - fuel: investigate using tires as a fuel supplement, survey potential end-users,
review benefits of marketing scrap tires. The last aspect of the tire management program involves investigating the use
of shredded tires as fuel. The use of tire derived fuel (1DF) does not receive diversion credit until 1995. Diverting tire
shreds from the landfill will extend landfill capacitY, and the sale of tire chips may potentially generate revenue.
Whole Tire Incineration (CNTY. AT. PR. GB. ME PB):Wholetire incineration will not be considered for the tire
management program. Incineration does not conform with the hierarchy of AB 939, has environmental problems, and is
costly.

5.3 HHWE
The Household Hazardous Waste Element was prepared for all the jurisdiction as one document The .document provides a
plan for the jurisdictions that contains specific policies and programs to safely reduce, recYcle, collect, treat and dispose of
household hazardous wastes generated within the county. The focus of the programs in this element is to increase public
awareness and create a centralized permanent facility in conjunction with mobile or satellite operations to serve all the
residents in the county. In addition source reduction efforts, private sector recycling, and improved load checking
programs will be encouraged.
5.3.1 HHWE - Current Programs .

5.3.1.1 PERIODIC COLLECTION EVENTS
-
. .
A on~y collection event was conducted on June 2, 1990.. The event was conducted at the County Operations Center on
Kansas Ave. The collection event was conducted aSa single day and single site collection .service and was run as a drive-
through operation with participants always remaining in their cars. A station system was uSed with employee and/or volunteer
duties specific to that particular station. The following series of stations were ammged to handle the event

protection. The waste is categorized for packaging and any "unknowns" are evaluated. .
Packa~in~ and Loadin~ - This was done by the contractor after the collection center ~ closed to the public.
5.3.1.2 LOAD CHECKING PROGRAMS
Load-checking programs are required by Subtitle D, enumerated in 14 CCR 17258 and TItle 23, Chapter 3, Subchapter 15 of
the California Code of Regulations (CCR). The primary goal of a load checking program is to screen incoming private and
commercial loads of waste for the presence of prohibited wastes and to reject any portions of loads that are not acceptable.
The Cold Canyon, Chicago Grade and Paso Robles Landfills have load checking programs that provide inspection of randomly
selected incoming loads. The following briefly desCnDes the program at each of the facilities;
Cold Canyon Landfill- A Waste Acceptance Control Program is currently in place at this facility. This program is intended to
prevent the aCceptance of prohibited wastes at the landfill
The primary elements of the program include:
. Specifying methods to determine the acceptability of the wastes.
. Providing a load checking program for incoming wastes.
. Notifying customers ~f applicable policies and procedures.
. Describing other measures (such as signage) to deter the disJ>?sa1 of prohibited wastes.
.All incoming- self-haul. loads are to be reviewed at the scalehouse and visually inspected for the presence of unacceptable
wastes. Should staff encounter suspicious looking loads, the vehicle is to be prevented nom entering and the scalehouse staff
are instructed to summon the appropriate supervisory personnel for a determination of the acceptability of the waste. The
entrance is posted notifying customers that hazardous materials are not allowed to be disposed at the site.
A spotter is at the face of the, landfill to watch 'offioading and conducts three random detailed checks of self-haul loads each
day.
Chicago Grade Landfill- Users of the facility are notified at the gate that hazardous materials are not allowed to be disPosed at
the facility. Signs are posted and a handout is given to the customer identifying banned materials, the handout also notifies the
customer that random load checks are. conducted. . The gatekeeper visually inspects the load and a sPotter is at the face of the
fill to monitor offioading of self-haul and commercial haulers. The dozer operator also monitors the wastes being distributed
before the application of cover material.
Paso Robles Eandfill- The Waste Acceptmce Control Program at the Paso Robles Landfill is similar to the programs described
above. Signage is located at the entrance notifying users of banned materials and loads are surveyed at the gate for prohibited
. wastes. A full time employee is stationed at the working face of the fill to observe the offioading of vehicles. This person also
conducts a detailed survey-of one hauler load and two self haul loads per day. These surveys are recorded on a form that is
maintained by the landfill for review by the Local Enforcement Agency.

5,3.1.3 EDUCATION AND PUBLIC INFORMATION
'The Solid Waste Division of the County Engineering Department has published a brochure that. Iists options for household
hazardous waste diversion! The brochure discusses aerosols, automotive pro.ducts, household products and appliances, pamt
. products, pesticides, and toner cartridges. The. brochure descn"bes toxic, flammable, corrosive and reactive materials; and
explains what some of the hazards o~ these. types of materials are, and recommends safe disposal practices.
A ''hotline''; established at. the Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo (ECO SLO),' recei~es incoming 'calls uom residents
and directs them to appropriate recycling or reuse options. Residents' names are placed on a waiting list when no available
alternative for recycling or reuse can be identified: These pe<;>ple will be contacted to bring in their material when a collection
event is scheduled:

5.3.1.5 COUNIY PROGRAM
The Agricultural Commissioner's Office sponsored a.HOME-USPlGARDEN PESTICIDE WAS1E DISPOSAL PROGRAM
for a number of years. The program was designed to accept noncommercial home-use/garden pesticide waste from San Luis
Obispo County residents at no charge. Upon acceptance, the pesticide waste was classified and stored until transported to a
hazardous waste disposal site. The fucility has been converted to the County Engineering Department HHW Facility.
The hazardous waste stoiage fucility is located at the Kansas A venue County Operations Yard.. The facility consists of a small
metal storage building containing Departnient of Transportation approved 37A (5 gal.), 6C (30 gal), and 17H (55 gal) metal
drums in which the pesticide is placed according to hazard class. The following are included at the fucility for possible spill
response: cement floor, benn and sump; emergency shower and eye wash; protective clothing and equipment; and chemical
clean-up equipment . .,-
. .
Materials are accepted at the facility on an appointment basis or in conjunction with advertised collection days. The criteria for
accepting waste by the Engineering Department is listed in pamphlets and in the letter "Home-Use/Garden Pesticide Waste
Disposal" addressed to governmental agencies and San Luis Obispo County residents. The acceptance criteria are dictated by
the DTSC hazardous waste facility pennit -

5.3.2 HHWE - Planned Programs
5,3,2 1 COLLECTION PROGRAMS
The selected collection program is to establish a permanent collection and storage facility in conjunction with Recytle Only
Days, and mobile and/or permanent satellite facilities. The permanent facility will serve as a collection and storage
location where operations can be based, and materials can be temporarily stored and prepared for recycling or shipping to
appropriate disposal facilities. . . . . . .
The mobile facility will have the necessary equipment to perform support collection activities. The unit will have an
emergency shower, equipment and supplies storage, as well as areas to hold collected materials and administrative support
supplies and equipment The mobile facility is also proposed to be designed and constructed to be capable Of serving in an
emergency response capacity if needed. . .
. .
The permanent facility, in conjunction with the mobile satellite, was chosen because it is the most cost effective and
flexible option that would be capable of serving the dispersed population of the county and cities.
The permanent and satellite facilities will have the capability for general collection events and ,recycle~nly days.
However, efforts to_ improve and expand private sector household hazardous waste recycling opportunities will be given
priority and may replace ,the need for recycle-only collection events. The private sector emphasis will result in smaller
quantities of materials being disposed through the other collection system programs and reduce program costs.
. ,.
Curbside recycling may also be implemented in some jurisdictions to coll.ect w~e oil. This service is cWTently available
in some parts of the unincorporated South County area. Jurisdictions may be able to provide this service through their local
hauler or recycler. .
Disposal costs are the largest single expense associated with these programs. The ability to consolidate,materials for
recycling, reuse or disposal, before shipping; is critical to holding down costs. The mobile satellite unit could be sited at
various locations around the county as needed. Permanent satellite facilIties may be established at landfills, material
recovery facilities or other sites that may be deemed appropriate.
The frequency of collection activities will primarily depend on available funding to support the recycling and disposal costS .
that are incWTed. Should permanent satellite facilities be located at the landfills or other sites, waste materials that are
collected could be_consolidated at the permanent facility before recyCling or disposal.
,- ..
Short Tenn Implementation Period
The existing Agricultural Commissioner's Pesticide Facility at the County Operational Center on Kansas Avenue was
modified and reclassified as a permanent facility in 1993. This is the most cost effective and timely option for establishing
a permanent facility. . Siting a new permanent facility at another location would resUlt in significant additional cost and time
before permits could be issued and a facility made operational. .. State Department of Toxic Substance Control staff have_
visited the Kansas Ave. site and advised local staff on permitting procedures and modifications needed at the facility to
convert the site to a permanent collection facility. . .' .... .
It is anticipated by the-Cities and the 'County that the Household Hazardous Waste Facility located at Kansas Avenue will
be used for the benefit of all residents within the incorporated and unincorporated areas. The. Kansas A venue site is
presently owned by the County. Any future operation of the Household Hazardous Waste Facility at this site shall be
subjected to the appropriate indemnification and joint operating agreements that share the liability and responsibility for the
site, equipment and materials collected among the members of the Integrnred Waste Management Authority that use the
facility.

5,3.2.2 LOAD CHECKING PROGRAMS
Load checking programs at the various landfills (and processing facilities as they become operational) will be expanded. to
the commercial hauler loads delivered to the site. Inspection. of self-haul loads will be increased in frequency. This
program is intended to provide for monitoring of HHW program success and identify materials that may be improperly .
disposed. The development of a material recovery facility serving the Cold Canyon wasteshed is to be considered for
implementation during the medium term. plannmg period. This could result in all loads being sorted for recyclable and
compostable materials and the discovery and removal of hazardous materials.
The tasks necessary to implement this program include:

5,3.2.3 -RECYCLING AND REUSE PROGRAMS
Reuse and recycling of materials will be pursued through the private. sector to the maximum extent practical. Appropriate
materials will be directed towar4 reuse and recycling before consideration for disposal, This program is intended to divert
the maximum amount. of materials through the private sector, and minimize the unn~cessary disPosal of materials. HHW
Recycle Only Days.have been sponsored by the local waste haulers. These events have been quite successful and will be
encouraged to continue.
Short Term Implementation Period

5,3.24 EDUCATION AND PUBLIC INFORMATION PROGRAMS.
. .
Education and Public Information Programs are a required component of the Element and are designed to increase
awareness regarding hazardous materials in the home and small business. In addition, the programs should modify
'behavior patterns ~at will result in proper recycling, reuse ~d disposal practices. "
As a result of the adoption AB 2494 (Sher) the State of California will be developing and implementing various Public
Education and Information programs that will be used to replace or supplement local programs where appropriate.
5.3.2.5 .mIWE - Planned contingency Measures
If there is a shortfall in attaining the HHWE Goals and Objectives, it will be necessary to examine the reasonableness of the
objectives and determine what program areas need to be modified to achieve or realize the goals. Listed below are
programs or methods which cou:ld be implemented in the event that the anticipated levels of public awareness are not
attained.
I. Improvise, modify or increase the level of program effort to offset the deficiency identified through the monitoring
program.
2. Review the effectiveness of selected public education techniques and programs.
3. Re-evaluate, modify and expand appropriate public education program efforts.
4. Assess, revise and expand schedules to reflect the changing needs identified in ,the monitoring program.
5. Within participating governmental agencies, re-evaluate staffing adequacy, task descriptions and staffresponsibilities.

5.3.3 HHW - Targeted Materials and Marketing Strategies
Used motor oil, pam.ts~ and caustic household cleansers have been identified as primary targets for future diversion
progrrims because of their large volume. Household batteries are also a target because of the toxicity of the heavy metals
they contain. These identified materials are targeted based on the waste characterization study and experience with HHW
collection - and disposal programs. These target materials will be recycled if dependable markets and recycling firms can be
identified. Developing new or ~ore dependable markets/end USes for these materials will be a short term goal.
5.4 NDFE - FACILITIES
There are two non-disPosal facilities planned in San Luis Obispo County to meet the year. 2000 . mandated diversion
requirements.
In the North County wasteshed a Material Processing Facility (MPF)is planned. The facility will accept presorted loads of
materials high in various recyclable materials such as cardboard, plastic, metals or other types of materials that can be
diverted from the waste stream. The operator may be a private-sector facility developer, a public sector project, or a public
and private-sector joint projecL. .

CHAPTER 6
FINANCING OF COUNTYWIDE PROGRAMS (CCR SECfION 18758)
This chapter summarizes funding sources and allocation of revenues for all programs and facility planniz!.g and
implementation tasks identified in the Summary Plan. For this document this summary is limited to the programs identified
for implementation in the SRREs and HHWE. -
Current funding for solid waSte management programs in jurisdictions comes from collection fees, tipping fees, surcharges
and jurisdictions general funds.
6.1 SRRE PROGRAM FUNDING
, ,
The funding sources for the programs in the SRRE we~ identified in Chapter? in the Implementation Schedule. A more
detailed breakdown of the actual costs and revenue for each program is shown in Table 6-2. The table identifies for each
jurisdiction the cost anticipated for the local programs as well as the regional programs. At 'the end of the table is a
summary of the regional costs. . The primary sources of revenue for the programs are tipping fees, sur~harges, collection
rates, and the sale of recovered materials.
~.2 HHWE PROGRAM FUNDING -
The conversion of the' Kansas Avenue site into a permanent Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility and th'e
development of the mobile facility will result in capital costs of about $65,000., The IWMA will, use a combination of
funding mechanisms to provide revenues for HHW program implementation. Tipping fees will b~ the primary source of
program funding. The _number and size of collection events will be adjusted annually to the fund balance available in
support of the program. ,. . .
The following funding sources will be used:
. IWMA HHW Fund - generated through tipping fees.
. Grants from Private or Government Source
. Foundation or Sponsorship Funds
. Solid Waste' ManagementlRefuse Collection Contracts - funds available to local jurisdictions in support of costs that
may be incurred for local implementation of programs .
. Waste Management Fees - fees imposed to handle household hazardous materials
. IWMA Member ContraCted Services or Reciprocal Agreements - monies that may be made available to the IWMA for
special ~ventsor pr~grams within a given jurisdiction '
. Grant Funds Available though the CIWMB - yearly discretionary and non-discretionary grants

6.3 CONTINGENCY FUNDING SOURCES
,
-
.
Other ~ding mechanisms that could be explored for contingency funding for the IwMA programs include:
.
Development Mitigation Fees. Large residential or commerc'ial developments thadntensify the use of existing facilities or
programs create potentially significant impacts on tire capacity of existing solid waste"facilities or associated programs.
Some impacts may not be reduced to a less than significant level through available source reduction and recycling
measures. . These may be mitigated by revenues collected from mitigation fees that would be deposited in a separate fund
or account The use of these funds would be restricted to HHW ed!1cation, reduction, recycliI!.g, and collection programs in
the appropriate area. of benefit ..
- ,
State Subventions (Advance DispoSal Fees). Recent amendments to' AB ~39 required the California Integrated Waste
Management Board to develop model legislation which provides for the assessment of fees which reflect the true cost of
disposal on manufactured products of specific content Advance disposal fee legislation may provide for the return of
monies directly to local jurisdictions to fmance recycling planning implementation, and public education.
. . .
Rate Stnicture Modifi~ation. fucreased revenues may be generated by restructUring refuse collection rates to escalate
charges or surcharges for higher waste generation. Implementation of "variable can rates" encourages diversion and
enhances equity by converting collection service rates to a user fee" basis.
Fee Parcel Assessments. Assignment of fees on a parcel by parcel basis for the availability of services or facilities.
Franchise Fees A portion of the franchise fees that haulers pay local jurisdictions could be used to support in-house staff

.. COUNTY OF SAN LUIS. OBISPO
INTEGRATED W ASTEMANAGEMENT AUTHORITY
NOTICE OF DETERMINATION AND
. NEGATIVE DECLARATION
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: County Integrated Waste Management Plan-
Siting Element and Summary Plan
DATE: October 6,1995 (revised November 8, 1995)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
With the passage of California Assembly Bill 939 in 1989, each City and County were. required to
prepare various solid waste related planning documents such as the "Siting Element" and the
"Summary Plan". Solid waste planning in San Luis Obispo County is implemented by the
Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) which consists of the County and the Cities of
Atascadero, Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, MOlTO Bay, Pismo Beach, and San Luis Obispo. The
following. is a description of the Siting Element and the Summary Plan:
Siting Element Description
The San Luis Obispo County Sitipg Element has been prepared in accordance with, and as required
by Public Resources Code and California Code of Regulations. The Siting Element has been
prepared to determine the County's remaining landfill capacity, provide goals and policies with the
objective of maintaining existing landfill capacity, and to provide criteria and a process for siting
solid waste disposal facilities.
. Upon local approval, the countywide Siting Element will be incorporated into the San Luis Obispo
County Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIW1vJP) and submitted to the California Integrated
Waste Management Board (CIWMB) for final approval. .
The San Luis Obispo County Siting Element is designed to accomplish the following four key
tasks:
'. Define go31s and policies for maintaining long-term solid waste disposal capacity;
· . Quantify the remaining permitted disposal capacity in the county;
e- Identify minimum siting criteria from federal and state sources, and some
discretionary siting criteria to be' considered for. any new or expanded disposal
facility siting effort in the county; and,
· Identify strategies for the county to maintain long-term disposal capacity.
..
.-! ......_.(
, . Summary Pl~m Descr1ption
Assembly Bill 939 requires each city and county to reduce waste' sent to landfills by 25 percent by
January 1, 1995 and 50 percent by January 1, 2000. The Summary Plan provides a synopsis of
the planning documents which were prepared to meet these goals. . These docUments consist of the
Solid Waste Generation Study, Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRRE) , Household
Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE),. Non Disposal Facility Element (NDFE) and the Siting
Element. All of the documents together are considered the County Integrated Waste Management
- Plan (CIWMP). The Summary Plan describes the programs, goals and policies that guide existing
'_. as well as proposed solid waste collection and disposal systems throughout the County. .
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
. The County Integrated Waste Management Plan Siting Element and Summary Plan would affect
environmental resources within the County of San Luis Obispo.

SPECIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
PREPARED FOR THE
COUNTY INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY
SITING ELEMENT AND SUMMARY PLAN
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The consultant preparing the Environmental Determination has determined that the proposed
County Integrated Waste Management Plan - Siting Element and Snmmary . Plan (as set forth in the
Preliminary Draft as revised, based on responsible agency comment and the enVironmental review
process) will not result in significant adverse environmental effects as a result of suggested
reviSions to a number of the policies as set forth in this 'section of the proposed negative
declaration. In most cases, the effects were found to be beneficial and positive with respect to
maintaining existing landfill capacity and to siting .new facilities.
This Negative Declaration evaluates potential environmental impacts associated with the
. Preliminary Draft versions of the Siting Element and the Snmmary Plan. The Preliminary Draft
Siting Element and Summary Plan have been reviewed by responsible agencies, technical advisory
committee members, landfill operators, and other interested parties. Comments received by these
agencies and interested parties will be incorporated into the two documents where appropriate prior
to final approval and are attached. Comments have also been incorporated into the environmental
determination. ,
,
I. SITING ELEMENT
A. Siting Element' Goals
The proposed Siting Element Goals are as follow.s:
1. Operate and maintain solid waste -facilities to ensure protection of public health and
minimize enviro~ental impacts and nuisances.
2. Maintain a solid waSte disposal system that is efficient, economic, and convenient
for the .general public.
3. Provide adequate solid waste disposal" facility ~pacity to meet the county's long-
. term disposal needs.
4. Promote community awareness.
5. Prevent the development of new or expanded solid waste facilities in incompat:J.ole
land use areas.
6. Provide for the proper closure and ultimate use of all solid waste disposal facilities.
,. .
The above Siting Element goals are implemented by the following policies proposed in .the Draft
Siting Element (refer to Table 2-1).
,. 3
... ' -..
B. Siting. Element Policies .
The following Siting Element policies should be considered and applied as an integrated set of
recommendations to achieve the County's waste management goals.. Each proposed policy of the
Siting Element is presented below in italics, followed by a discussion of potential environmental
effects under heading "Impacts". Suggested - revisions ,to _ reduce impacts to a level of
insignificance, if necessary, are discussed belo~ under the heading "Mitigation". .
Siting Element Polic:y 1 A: Maintain modern - sanitary landfill practices and environmental
monitoring in full compliance with current CIWMB (CCR Title 14) and Department of Water
. Resources (CCR Title 23) requirements. '
Impacts: Insignificant This policy is consistent with state and federal regulations and will be
beneficial to the County's environmental resources potentially affected by operation of existing
solid waste disposal facilities. Modem sanitary landfill practices 'and environmental monitoring
will ensure higher standards of landfill operation.
Mitigation: No mitigation is necessary.
Siting Element Polic,y lB. Maintain operations in full accord with solid waste facility permits and
special use permits as given by the appropriate governing jurisdiction.
Impacts: fusignificant This policy is _ consistent with rules and regulations governing
operation of solid waste facilities and will not result in adverse environmental effects.
Mitigation: No mitigation is necessary.
Siting Element Policy lC: Incorporate state andfederal siting restrictions for any proposed new or
expanded disposalfaciliry in the county.
Impacts: Instgnificant The Draft Siting Element states 'that the existing disposal capacity of
the County is approximately 32 years as of 1995, therefore no sites for new or expanded solid
waste disposal facilities are proposed to be identified at this time. However, at such time that
countywide permitted disposal capacity falls below the minimum I5-year requirement, and it is
determined that expansion of existing facilities is required,. this policy will result in siting or
expansion of facilities. according to state and federal siting restrictions. and regulations which
include California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review. Potential environmental effects
of facility siting ~be analyzed and mitigated through implemen~tio~ of this policy.
Mitigation: No mitigation is necessary.
Siting' Element Policy 2A. Provide for the most efficient management of solid waste disposal
facilities. - .
Impacts: Insignificant. This policy will result in maintaining or extending the capacity of
solid waste facilities countywide and is therefore considered beneficial. This policy will not
result in adverse environmental effects.
,
. Mitigation: No mitigation is necessary. -

i
. . , .
. .
Siting Element Policy 2R' Where feasible, incorporate state-ofthe-art technology to 'improve the
. solid waste disposal system.. _ .
Impacts: Insignificant. This policy will resUlt in maintaining or extending the capacity of
solid waste facilities countywide and is therefore considered beneficial. This policy will 'not
, result in adverse environmental effects. .
.,
. ~tigation: No mitigation is necessary.
Siting Element PoliGy 2C. When needed, recommend expanded facilities. - If not feasible to
. expand, then consider a new facility.
Impacts: ~ignificant. Implementation of this policy will be in accordance with the
standards applied in Policy 1A through 2B above, which include CEQA review and mitigation
of potential environmental impacts associated with expanded or new facilities. Therefore, this
policy will not result in adverse environmental effects. .
,
Mitigation: No mitigation is necessary.
Siting Element Policy 3A. Continue to monitor the ability of the existing facilities to provide safe
and cost-effective disposal service to residents..
Impacts: Insignificant. Monitoring the ability of existing facilities to provide safe disposal
service is considered a beneficial impact and will not result in adverse environmental effects.
Mitigation: No mitigation is necessary.
Siting Element Polky 3R. Prohibit import or export of solid waste to or from the County.
-
Impact: Insignificant. . Reduction of Chicago Grade's waste stream required the landfill to
solicit new business from outside of the County in order to remain a viable landfill operation.
Impo~g solid waste from outside of the County to the Chicago Grade Landfill may have
environmental effects but it will also serve to preserve the County of San Luis Obispo's total
landfill capacity. Therefore, to preserve the County's landfill capacity and to mitigate the
potentially adverSe environmental effects of importing solid waste, this policy is proposed to be
revised to read as follows:
"Wzth proper environmental determination, allow import of solid waste into County
landfills to the extent that excess capacity is not significantly reduced. Prohibit
export of solid waste from the Co~ty. "
This. policy will ensure CEQA review of solid waste 'import and export activities,. thereby
enabling identification and mitigation of potentially significant adverse environmental effects.
The policy will also allow for continued operation of facilities such as Chicago Grade Landfill
which in turn result in preservation of the County's 32-year landfill capacity.
Mitigation: No mitigation is necessary.

outreach campaigns to inform residents on solid waste management issues.
Impacts: : Insignificant. Developing and implementing public participation and media
outreach campaigns is considered a beneficial impact anq will not result in adverse
environmental effects.
Mitigation: No mitigation is necessary.
Sitin~ Element Policy 5A: Ensure land use compatibility through land use permit requirements.and
findings of appropriate General Plan consistency.
Impacts: Insignificant. This policy will ensure analysis and mitigation of potential
environmental. impacts to County resources through compliance with the County land use
permitting process and General Plan consistency analysis. This policy will not result 'in
adverse envir()gmental effects.
Mitigation: N'~o mitigation is necessary. -
Siting Element Policy SR. Locate new or expanded solid waste facilities on existing public lands.
or other permissible land use, allowing for sufficient buffers to protect adjacent land uses.
Impacts: Insignificant This policy will result in reduction of potential environmental effects
related to siting of new or expanded solid waste facilities. This policy will not result in adverse
environmental effects.
Mitigation: No mitigation is necessary.
Siting Element Policy 6A: Encourage planning and appropriate funding for the proper closure and
ultimate land use of closed facilities consistent with surrozmding land uses and which meet
community needs.

B. Siting Element Criteria and ProceS~
The Siting Element outlines certain solid waste disposal facility siting criteria for San Luis Obispo
Cou.p.ty and provides an overview of how these criteria can be used at such time that a new or
expanded. disposal facility is required. Criteria are standards on which a judgment or decision may
be based. Therefore, landfill siting criteria are standards that can be applied to areas or parcels of
land to judge their suitability for landfill development
,
Siting criteria are often divided into two types: those that exclude portions of the study area from
further consideration (often called "exclusionary" criteria); and those that. compare and evaluate the
degree of conformity of candidate sitesto local parameters (often called ~'ranking" criteria~.
Given the extensive remaining permitted disposal Capacity in. the county, this Siting Element does
not apply the exclusionary criteria, identify new or expanded landfill sites, nor apply the ranking
criteria. Therefore, the siting criteria and process outlined in' the Siting Element will not be
implemented at this time, and will not result in adverse environmental effects. Upon utilization of
. the Siting Element criteria and process, an environmental determination would be initiated per
CEQA to analyze and mitigate potential environmental impacts.

II. SUMMARY PLAN
A. Summary Plan Goals' and Policies
The proposed Summary Plan portion of the CIWMP describes the direction 'of the County's Solid
Waste Management System through policy, goal, and objective statements. These statements are
derived from the previously approved SRRE, HHWE, ND~, and the Siting Element The
policies, goals, and objectives were based upon direction and guidance from the California.
Integrated Waste Management Ad. of 1989 (AB 939), the County Board of Supervisors, City
Council Members, the Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA), and the implementation
regulations adopted by ~e CIWMB. -.
To satisfy the County's solid waste mariagement needs, the jurisdictions in San Luis Obispo
County will plan and implement programs that are both cost effective and operated to follow the
State of California's Solid Waste Management hierarchy. The hierarchy consists of waste
prevention, recycling, composting, and. disposal. Implementation. of the programs using this
hierarchy will protect public health .and safety, preserve the environment, and provide for the
maximum conservation of riatural resources.
Impacts: Insignificant. The policies, goals and objectives found in Chapter 2 of the. Draft
Summary Plan are derived from the previously approved Source Reduction and Recycling
Elements and the Household Hazardous Waste Element The potential environmental effects of
