PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE
COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA COUNTYWIDE NONDISPOSAL FACILITY ELEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open and hold the public hearing.
2. Close the public hearing.
Consider adoption of a resolution adopting the County of Santa Clara Countywide Nondisposal Facility
Element (NDFE).
BACKGROUND:
State law requires that at least one public hearing on the NDFE be held prior to adopting the NDFE. A
notice was placed in a local paper advising the public of this hearing, in accordance with State regulations.
DISCUSSION:
In 1989, the State adopted AB 939 which requires municipalities to adopt plans identifying strategies to
reduce landfilled waste by 25 percent in 1995 and 50 percent in 2000; these plans are called Source
Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRREs).
Under State law, cities and counties must also prepare and adopt a Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE),
for all existing or proposed nondisposal facilities that are needed to implement local SRREs. A nondisposal
facility includes recycling facilities, yard waste composting facilities and transfer stations. A nondisposal
facility does not include landfills or facilities that burn wood waste for fuel. The attached NDFE identifies the

BACKGROUND
The California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939) requires cities and
counties to prepare, adopt, and implement Source Reduction and Recycling
Elements (SRREs) and Household Hazardous Waste Elements (HHWEs). It also
requires counties to prepare a Countywide Siting Element. All of these Elements are
to be included in a Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. In 1992, the
California legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3001 (Cortese) which amended the Act.
PRC Section 41730 et seq, requires California cities and counties to prepare and adopt
another Element, the Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE), for all existing or
proposed nondisposal facilities which will be needed to implement local SRREs. A
nondisposal facility is defined as any solid waste facility required to obtain a solid
waste facility permit except a disposal facility or transformation facility (PRC Section
40151).
To assist the jurisdictions of Santa Clara County to meet this requirement, County
Integrated Waste Management Program staff has prepared the attached County of
Santa Clara Countywide NDFE for adoption by all of the jurisdictions in Santa Clara
County except Palo Alto. The City of Palo Alto has prepared and adopted its own
NDFE.
The NDFE identifies the transfer stations, material recovery facilities, and yard waste
composting facilities necessary to implement local waste diversion goals. Please
note that these facilities or operations are often located at disposal facility sites.
Prior to adopting or amending an NDFE, a city or county is required to submit its
NDFE to the LTF for review and comment. The LTF comment letter is required to
be submitted to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB)
within 90 days of the date the LTF receives the NDFE for comment. The NDFE has
been reviewed by the LTF. A copy of the LTF comment letter is attached.
Prior to adopting the NDFE a jurisdiction must conduct at least one public hearing
on the NDFE in accordance with Section 18766 of Title 14, Chapter 9, Article 7.0, of
the California Code of Regulations.
When approving and adopting an NDFE, a jurisdiction is not required to receive
approval by any other jurisdiction(s). Cities and counties are not required to revise
their previously adopted SRREs to make these documents consistent with
subsequently adopted NDFEs. The NDFEs shall be incorporated into the SRREs at
the time of the first five-year revision.

Dear Ms. Rands:
The Solid Waste Commission of Santa Clara County, acting as the
County Local Task Force (LTF), has reviewed 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.
This document has been prepared to serve as the NDFE for fifteen
jurisdictions: 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.
The nondisposal facilities described in the County of Santa Clara's
NDFE should 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 will positively impact the region, and does
not foresee any negative impacts in the County of Santa Clara.
Sincerely,
Dianne McKenna, Chair
Solid Waste Commission of Santa Clara County

Introduction
The California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939) requires cities and
counties to prepare, adopt, and implement Source Reduction and Recycling
Elements (SRREs) and Household Hazardous Waste Elements (HHWEs). It also
requires counties to prepare a Countywide Siting Element. All of these Elements are
to be included in a Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. In 1992, the
California legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3001 (Cortese) which amended the Act.
California Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 41730 et seq, requires California
cities and counties to prepare and adopt another Element, the Nondisposal Facility
Element (NDFE) for all existing or proposed nondisposal facilities which will be
needed to implement local SRREs. A nondisposal facility is defined as any solid
waste facility required to obtain a solid waste facility permit except a disposal facility
or transformation facility (PRC Section 40151)..
The County of Santa Clara's Countywide Integrated Waste Management Program
has prepared this 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
has prepared and adopted its own NDFE.
This NDFE identifies transfer stations, material recovery facilities, yard waste
composting facilities, and landfills necessary to implement local waste diversion
goals. Table I, attached, identifies the facilities currently utilized by each jurisdiction
of to implement its SRRE and meet the solid waste diversion requirements of PRC
Section 41780.
A draft of this NDFE was submitted to the County of Santa Clara Local Task Force
for review and.comment regarding the regional impacts of the Nondisposal
facilities identified in this Element, in accordance with the requirements of PRC
Sections 41734 (a) and (b). As indicated by PRC Section 41735 (a), the adoption or
amendment of this NDFE 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
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 both residents and non-residents of the City of Palo Alto, within
the County of Santa Clara.
FACILITY LOCATION:
The Facility is located in Santa Clara County within the footprint of the City of Palo

Disposal Company, Incorporated. The Facility began operations as a sanitary landfill
in 1956. The permitted Class III landfill has ongoing material recovery and compost
processing operations. The Facility receives waste from all over Santa Clara County.
Material recovery operations are conducted on the active face of the landfill. The
compost processing facility area is currently undergoing environmental review and
permitting procedures. The proposed compost facility would consist of a 7-acre yard
and wood waste processing area and an 11-acre windrow composting area. The
Facility currently accepts yard waste and clean wood waste from residential self -
haulers, gardeners and landscapers, government landscape maintenance and road
crews, and franchised and non -franchised municipal waste haulers. Once delivered
to the Facility, yard waste is ground up and sold immediately to land application
markets. The proposed compost facility permit would allow yard waste to be ground
up, cured aerobically in windrows, screened after completion, and transported to
markets. Wood waste is kept separate, ground up, and transported to wood fuel
markets. All materials are received on a tipping fee basis. The Facility also recycles
construction and demolition debris (soil, concrete, and asphalt) which is used on -
site as construction materials and daily landfill cover.
FACILITY CAPACITY:
The Facility has a maximum permitted disposal capacity of 3,375 tons per day. In
1993, the Facility landfilled approximately 356 tons per day. In the currently
proposed permit, the maximum processing capacity of the compost facility is 672
tons of yard and wood waste per day.
ESTIMATED DIVERSION RATE:
In 1993, the Facility had a diversion rate of approximately 39.6% (129,919 tons of the
328,361 tons received at the landfill gate).
JURISDICTIONS SERVED:
The Facility serves all of Santa Clara County.
FACILITY LOCATION:
The Facility is located in Southwestern San Jose, off of Guadalupe Mines Road, in a
canyon immediately north of the Guadalupe Mines (see the attached map).

(half -acre) transfer station that began operation in December of 1991. The Facility
receives and processes recyclables from residential curbside and multi -family
collection programs and from commercial/industrial recycling programs. The
owners of the Facility are proposing to expand operations to include a drop-off
center open to the general public. Under the proposed expansion, the Facility would
accept the following materials from the general public: construction and demolition
debris, wood waste, glass, metals, plastics, paper, and any other commercial and
industrial solid wastes. Materials are conveyer -fed through a sorting line and into a
conveyer -fed baler. Materials recovered are shipped to brokers and markets which
use them for manufacturing into new products. Residual materials and debris are
transported and landfilled at a permitted disposal facility.
FACILITY CAPACITY:
The Facility is permitted to process a maximum of 375 tons of waste per day. The
Facility currently processes approximately 24 tons per day. The proposed expansion
would increase the processing volume to approximately 75-100 tons per day.
ESTIMATED DIVERSION RATE:
In 1993, the Facility diverted approximately 6,126 tons of recyclable materials, and
had a diversion rate of approximately 94%. The proposed expansion would increase
the amount of recyclable materials recovered, but would decrease the rate of
diversion to approximately 50%.
JURISDICTIONS SERVED:
The Facility receives waste from trucks servicing the cities of Santa Clara and Jose.
The proposed drop off center would receive waste from both residents and non-
residents of the City of Santa Clara.
FACILITY LOCATION:
The Facility is located at 1060 Richard Avenue, in an industrially zoned area of the
City of Santa Clara (see the attached map). The Facility address (and access road) for
the general public is located at 1313 Memorex Drive in Santa Clara.

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).
