Sections:
30.80.010 Regulation and certification of facilities.
30.80.040 Organic waste capacity planning.
30.80.010 Regulation and certification of facilities.
The City recognizes that the County of Sacramento Environmental Management Department is the local enforcement agency (LEA) designated by the California Department of Resource Recycling and Recovery to regulate, survey, monitor, and ensure the lawful operation of transfer/processing facilities, recycling facilities, compost facilities, construction and demolition (C&D) debris sorting facilities, landfills, and like solid waste disposal operations. The City further recognizes that the Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling is the local entity that certifies construction and demolition (C&D) sorting facilities for the purposes of determining C&D debris diversion rates. Therefore, any such facility or operation certified, licensed, or otherwise approved by Sacramento County to engage in solid waste handling or disposal is deemed adequate and approved for the sorting, recycling, handling, disposal, and any similar activity to process solid waste generated in or originating from the City or within its jurisdiction. This approval by the City is operative notwithstanding that the certified or approved facility or operation is located outside of the territorial jurisdiction of Sacramento County.
