To decrease the flow of wastes filling valuable landfill space and
to assist, in meeting the requirements of Section 66780.5 of the
California Government Code (as amended by AB 1462 of 1987), each
city in the County shall submit annual reports to the
Intergovernmental Council outlining programs and plans to reduce
the amount of wastes disposed of in landfills by 25% calculated
between January 1, 1978 and January 1, 1995. ** The
Intergovernmental Council shall report annually on the amount of
wastes recycled and the level of budgetary commitment made to
pursue recycling by each city in the county.

described in the current Plan.
*The operator of the Guadalupe Mines Landfill has filed applications
(PDC -87 -12 -100) with the City of San Jose for prezoning and annexation of

* *Acceptable methods for calculating the 25% reduction must be agreed to
by the IGC.
