CONSIDER DRAFT RESOLUTION ADOPTING FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE COUNTY
OF SANTA CLARA COUNTYWIDE NONDISPOSAL FACILITY ELEMENT AS THE
TOWN OF LOS GATOS ELEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council:
1. hold a public hearing;
2. receive testimony;
3. close the hearing; and,
4. adopt the attached resolution adopting the First Amendment to the County of Santa Clara Countywide
Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE) as the Town of Los Gatos Element.
BACKGROUND
In 1989, the State adopted AB 939 which requires municipalities to adopt plans identifying strategies to reduce landfilled
waste by 25% in 1995 and 50% in 2000. These plans are called Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRREs).
Under State law, cities and counties must also adopt a Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE) for all existing or proposed
recycling facilities, composting facilities and transfer stations. On December 5, 1994, the Town Council held a public
hearing and adopted the County of Santa Clara Countywide NDFE thereby identifying the facilities needed to implement
waste diversion goals in Santa Clara County.
The Town's 1995 Annual Report stated a 35% diversion rate. Crucial to our success is diversion of green waste (leaves,
grass, plant trimmings, etc.). The Town's agreement with Green Valley Disposal Company requires that it collect green
waste and leaves the responsibility of diverting the waste to the company. GVDC has been bringing the green waste
to Guadalupe Landfill. Guadalupe is not currently permitted to compost waste. Instead, it has been grinding the
materials for distribution for various purposes including provisions to farmers for agricultural purposes.
An application has been filed with the County of Santa Clara for approval to construct the Dunne Ranch Compost
Facility in the southern part of the County near Pacheco Pass. A map and fact sheet for that facility are shown on pages
21 and 22 of the proposed amendment.
Guadalupe hopes to continue to grind waste at its site and transport materials to Dunne Ranch for composting. The
facility would primarily serve as a composting facility for the yard waste collected primarily from Campbell, Los Gatos,
Monte Sereno and Saratoga. Our adopted NDFE must be amended in order to allow approval of the proposed Dunne
Ranch facility.

May 29, 1997
DISCUSSION:
The proposed First Amendment to the County of Santa Clara Countywide NDFE, prepared by County staff, has been
recommended for approval by the Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee and by the Solid Waste Commission of
Santa Clara County.
State law requires that at least one public hearing on the amended NDFE be held prior to adoption. A notice was placed
in the Los Gatos Weekly advising the public of this hearing in accordance with State regulations.
There is a County -wide need for additional compost facilities away from metropolitan areas. Approval of the facility
will help to assure Los Gatos' continued success in meeting AB 939 goals.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS:
The NDFE is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action. Adoption of the first amendment will have no impact on refuse rates
because the Town's yard waste agreement with Green Valley Disposal Company is a fixed rate agreement.

Dear Ms. Rands:
The Solid Waste Commission of Santa Clara County, acting as the County Local
Task Force (LTF), has reviewed the First Amendment to the County of Santa Clara
Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE), as required by Public Resources Code Section
41734 (a) and (b). LTF review and comment focuses on potential regional impacts of
the NDFE.
The nondisposal facilities described in the NDFE are expected to assist all
jurisdictions in the County in their efforts to meet or exceed state mandated waste
stream reduction goals. The LTF believes that the facilities included in the NDFE
will positively impact the region.
Sincerely,
.. •

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA
COUNTYWIDE NONDISPOSAL FACILITY ELEMENT
Introduction
California Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 41730 et seq, requires California
cities and counties to prepare and adopt a Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE) for
all existing or proposed nondisposal facilities which will be needed to implement
local Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRREs). A nondisposal facility is
any solid waste facility required to obtain a solid waste facility permit except a
disposal facility or transformation facility (PRC Section 40151).
In 1994, the County of Santa Clara's Countywide Integrated Waste Management
Program prepared the Countywide NDFE for adoption by the cities of: Campbell;
Cupertino; Gilroy; Los Altos; Milpitas; Monte Sereno; Morgan Hill; Mountain View;
San Jose; Santa Clara; Saratoga; and Sunnyvale; the towns of Los Altos Hills and Los
Gatos; and the County of Santa Clara Unincorporated Area. The City of Palo Alto
prepared and adopted its own NDFE.
The Countywide NDFE identifies transfer stations, material recovery facilities, yard
waste composting facilities, and landfills necessary to implement local waste
diversion goals. Table I identifies the facilities currently utilized by each jurisdiction
to implement its SRRE and meet the solid waste diversion requirements of PRC
Section 41780.
The First Amendment to the Countywide NDFE
Valley's Pride Landscape and Agricultural Products of San Jose is currently applying
for a Land Use Permit from the County of Santa Clara (County) Planning
Department and a Standardized Compost Facility Permit (SCFP) from the County
Department of Environmental Health for the proposed Dunne Ranch Compost
Facility (Facility). This First Amendment to the Countywide NDFE (Amendment) is
necessary before these agencies may approve permits for the proposed Facility.
A map and a fact sheet for the Facility are included on pages 21 and 22 of the
Amendment. The Amendment also includes minor changes to the fact sheets
which describe each facility, and revisions to Table I of the original NDFE. These
changes were requested by city staff to more clearly show that each facility in the
NDFE serves the entire County of Santa Clara.
This Amendment was submitted to the County Local Task Force for review and
comment regarding the regional impacts of the facilities identified in this Element,
in accordance with the requirements of PRC Sections 41734 (a) and (b). As indicated
by PRC Section 41735 (a), adoption of this Amendment is not subject to
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Fact Sheet #1
City of Palo Alto
Green Composting Facility
Palo Alto, California
Page 3
TYPE OF FACILITY:
The Palo Alto Green Composting Facility (Facility) is owned and operated by the City
of Palo Alto (City). The Facility began operation in 1979, with the goal of extending
the life of the Palo Alto Landfill by diverting yard waste brought to the landfill. The
Facility accepts yard waste from City residents, non-residents, private gardeners, City
crews, tree and landscape contractors working for the City, and county and state
crews working on freeway landscaping within City limits. In 1990, the City began
operating a full scale curbside yard waste collection program for its residents.
Acceptable yard waste includes leaves, grass clippings, plant and shrub trimmings,
ivy, and tree parts. Once delivered to the Facility, the yard waste is ground up, cured
in windrows, screened after completion, and stored on -site before being transported
to markets. The finished compost was used as a topsoil amendment in the City's
landfill closure and is being made available to the public.
FACILITY CAPACITY:
Approximately 34 tons per day of yard waste were accepted for processing at the
Facility during 1993. The Facility has an estimated maximum processing capacity of
30,000 tons annually (about 84 tons per day).
ESTIMATED DIVERSION RATE:
In 1993, approximately 12,190 tons of yard waste was accepted at the Facility for
processing. In 1993, total waste generated in the City was 144,567 tons (from City
Source Reduction and Recycling Element). Based on these figures, the 1993
diversion rate for the facility was approximately 8.5% of the total City waste stream.
JURISDICTIONS SERVED:
The Facility serves residents of the County of Santa Clara. The Facility is currently
used primarily by residents of the City of Palo Alto.
FACILITY LOCATION:
The Facility is located in Santa Clara County within the footprint of the City of Palo
Alto Landfill at 2380 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto (see the attached map).

San Martin Transfer Station
San Martin, California
TYPE OF FACILITY:
The San Martin Transfer Station (Facility) is owned and operated by South Valley
Disposal and Recycling. The permitted 8-acre Facility began operations in 1968 along
with the San Martin Landfill, and continued to operate after the landfill closed in
1971. Wastes accepted at the Facility include residential and commercial refuse and
recyclables, yard clippings, brush, stumps, wood, construction and demolition debris,
and commercial wastes. All waste is accepted on a tipping fee basis. Used motor oil
is accepted from residents, but is limited to 5 gallons per container and 20 gallons per
delivery. The Facility salvages recyclable materials from the incoming waste stream.
The Facility uses a weigh scale, stationary compactor with a 20-cubic yard hopper,
concrete dumping pad, and a baler. Materials can be fed directly into the compactor
or dumped onto the pad and fed into the compactor by using a small tractor.
Remaining refuse is compacted, loaded into trucks, and hauled approximately 10
miles to the Pacheco Pass Landfill located off of Highway 152 in south Santa Clara
County.
FACILITY CAPACITY:
The Facility is permitted to process a maximum of 360 tons of material per day. The
Facility currently processes approximately 112 tons of material per day.
ESTIMATED DIVERSION RATE:
The Facility currently diverts approximately 70% of the incoming material each day.
In 1994, the Facility is expected to divert 70% of the waste accepted for processing and
transfer the remainder to the Pacheco Pass Landfill.
JURISDICTIONS SERVED:
The Facility serves all of Santa Clara County. The Facility primarily serves the cities
of Gilroy and Morgan Hill, the community of San Martin, and other unincorporated
areas of southern Santa Clara County.
FACILITY LOCATION:
The Facility is located at 14080 Llagas Avenue, in the unincorporated community of
San Martin in southern Santa Clara County (see the attached map).

The Sunnyvale Materials Recovery and Transfer Station
Sunnyvale, California
TYPE OF FACILITY:
The cities of Palo Alto and Mountain View are partners with the City of Sunnyvale
for the development and operation of the Sunnyvale Materials Recovery and
Transfer (SMaRT) Station (Facility). Sunnyvale managed the design and
construction, and oversees the operation of the Facility. Palo Alto and Mountain
View pay a proportionate share of the construction and operating costs based on the
amount of municipal solid waste delivered to the Facility by the cities designated
haulers. Completed in 1993, the permitted Facility is being used by the three cities to
meet the state mandated goal of 50% waste reduction by the year 2000. When in full
operation (scheduled for 1994), the Facility's primary function will be as a materials
recovery facility. The Facility will receive and process curbside recyclables from the
cities of Sunnyvale and Mountain View and will include a buyback recycling center.
The Facility will also receive and process loads of municipal solid waste and recover
materials from the incoming waste stream for the three participating cities.
Recovered materials will be sent to brokers and markets which will use them for
manufacturing into new products and uses. The remaining waste will be
compacted, loaded, and hauled 27 miles south to the Kirby Canyon Recycling and
Disposal Facility in south San Jose.
FACILITY CAPACITY:
The Facility is permitted to process a maximum of 1500 tons of material per day.
The Facility currently processes approximately 900 tons of material per day.
Allocation quantities for delivery of waste to the Facility are shown in Exhibit A.
EXPECTED DIVERSION RATE:
Based on the terms of the agreement between the City of Sunnyvale and the Facility
operator, the guaranteed diversion rate for the Facility is 25%. However, this
guarantee is subject to adjustment based on the quantities of recyclable materials
present in the municipal solid waste delivered to the Facility.
JURISDICTIONS SERVED:
The Facility serves all of Santa Clara County. The Facility primarily serves the cities
of Sunnyvale, Palo Alto and Mountain View.
LOCATION:
The Facility is located in Santa Clara County, on City of Sunnyvale -owned property,
northeast of the intersection of Caribbean Drive and Borregas Avenue, adjacent to
the Sunnyvale Landfill, the Sunnyvale Water Quality Control Plant and the San
Francisco Bay (see the attached map).

Zanker Road Class III Landfill
San Jose, California
TYPE OF FACILITY:
The Zanker Road Class III Landfill (Facility) began operations in 1985 on a site
formerly known as the Nine -Par Disposal Site (from 1934-1977). The 70-acre Facility
(46 acres permitted for landfilling) is owned and operated by Zanker Road Resource
Management Limited. The Facility is permitted to accept an unlimited amount of
non -hazardous and non -liquid solid wastes (except wet garbage) for processing each
day. These wastes consist mainly of construction and demolition debris, (such as
soil, asphalt, concrete, rebar and wood waste) yard waste, metals, glass, plastic, and
paper. The primary activities conducted at the Facility involve extensive resource
recovery and recycling. Currently, there are five recycling operations that take place
at the Facility: (1) sorting, splitting, chipping, screening, composting, stockpiling,
and resale of wood waste; (2) separating, crushing, stockpiling, and resale of concrete
waste; (3) separating recyclable materials from the incoming waste stream; (4)
remediation of contaminated soils to reduce contamination to acceptable levels so
the soils can be used for on -site construction or daily cover; (5) processing, screening,,
composting, and resale of yard waste compost products. The Facility also uses a
portable picking line when necessary to assist in recovery operations. The residual
solid waste after processing is landfilled using an area fill method.
FACILITY CAPACITY:
The Facility is permitted to landfill a maximum of 350 tons of inert waste per day.
In 1993, approximately 50 tons of inert waste were landfilled each day.
ESTIMATED DIVERSION RATE:
Based on 1993 gate records, the Facility received approximately 675 tons of waste per
day for processing. In 1993, over 90% (usually between 92% and 96%) of the material
was diverted from landfilling.
JURISDICTIONS SERVED:
The Facility serves all of Santa Clara County.
FACILITY LOCATION:
The Facility is located on Los Esteros Road, off of Highway 237, in north San Jose,
near the southeastern end of the San Francisco Bay (see the attached map).

Dunne Ranch Composting Facility
Gilroy, California
TYPE OF FACILITY:
The proposed Dunne Ranch Composting Facility (Facility) site is owned by Maynard
Guderian and Partners. The Facility will be operated by Valley's Pride Landscape
and Agricultural Products, of San Jose. The Facility operators anticipate beginning
operations in late 1996 or early 1997. Composting operations will take place on
about 10 acres of a former cattle feed lot. The parcel is surrounded by agricultural
and grazing land, and has an improved all-weather surface of concrete, asphalt and
compacted soil. The Facility will not be open to the general public, but will serve as
a composting facility for green waste received and processed at the Guadalupe
Landfill in San Jose. The Landfill accepts source separated yard waste from curbside
collection programs, from commercial gardeners, and the general public.
Source separated green waste will be processed at the Landfill and the ground
material will be transported via high -volume transfer trucks to the Facility on a
daily basis. Incoming material will be stockpiled prior to incorporation into
windrows (typically within 2 days of arrival). The material will be composted in
windrows over a twelve week period. Moisture content and temperature will be
monitored using a water truck, front-end loaders, and a windrow turner. Finished
compost material will be screened to size and trucked off -site to markets. Some
unfinished compost may be moved off -site to markets based on market demand.
FACILITY CAPACITY:
Maximum annual capacity of the proposed Facility is anticipated to be
approximately 250,000 cubic yards. The Facility will process approximately 200 tons
of green waste per day.
ESTIMATED DIVERSION RATE:
The proposed Facility is expected to divert between 99% and 100% of the pre-
processed green material trucked to the site from the Guadalupe Landfill.
JURISDICTIONS SERVED:
The proposed Facility would serve all of Santa Clara County. The Facility would
primarily serve the jurisdictions of Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, San Jose,
Saratoga, and unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County. Small amounts of
agricultural materials may be received from Gilroy and Hollister.
FACILITY LOCATION:
The proposed Facility would be located on San Felipe Road, just off of State Highway
152 (Pacheco Pass), south of Gilroy, in the southern portion of unincorporated Santa
Clara County.

COUNCIL REPORTS (20.10)
Jan Hutchins reported from the Vasona Light Rail Project Policy Advisory Board. At the
meeting were the Mayor from Campbell, Supervisor Bell, Mr. Wolf from Saratoga and Mr.
Hutchins. A decision was made to extend the Light Rail to the Winchester point on the line
rather than stopping it in the middle of Campbell. By saving money in the downtown San Jose
configuration, and making these plans now, it may be built without returning it to the ballot.
This configuration makes parking for the line more feasible and the ability to build into Los
Gatos more probable.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Mr. Blanton, seconded by Mr. Attaway, that this evening's meeting be adjourned
