SECTION 41030-41033
41030. (a) For the initial source reduction and recycling element of a countywide integrated waste management plan which is required to be submitted to the board pursuant to Section 41791, the city waste characterization component shall identify the constituent materials which comprise the solid waste generated within the city. The information shall be representative of the solid waste generated within, and disposed of by, the city and shall reflect seasonal variations. The constituent materials shall be identified by volume, percentage in weight or its volumetric equivalent, material type, and source of generation, which includes residential, commercial, industrial, governmental, or other sources. Future revisions of waste characterization studies shall identify the constituent materials which comprise the solid waste disposed of at permitted disposal facilities. (b) In adopting or revising regulations implementing subdivision (a), the board shall do all of the following: (1) Permit the use of studies or data developed on a county or regional basis and adapted to the conditions which exist in a city preparing its waste characterization component. (2) Permit the use of preexisting data or studies, including those data and studies prepared by local governments with similar waste characteristics. (3) Require only that amount of seasonal sampling, and waste characterization only of those categories of waste, necessary to achieve the diversion requirements of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 41780. 41031. Any waste characterization component prepared by a city pursuant to Section 41030, and any other information submitted by a city to the board on the quantities of solid waste generated, diverted, and disposed of, shall include data which is as accurate as possible, on the quantities of solid waste generated, diverted, and disposed of, to enable the board, to the maximum extent possible, to accurately measure the diversion requirements established under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 41780. 41032. For the first revision, and any subsequent revision, of a source reduction and recycling element of a countywide integrated waste management plan which is required to be submitted to the board pursuant to Section 41770, the city waste characterization component shall identify the constituent materials which comprise the solid waste disposed of by the city. The information shall be statistically representative of the solid waste disposed of by the city and shall reflect seasonal variations. The constituent materials shall be identified, to the extent practicable, by volume, percentage in weight, or its volumetric equivalent, material type, and source of generation, which includes residential, commercial, industrial, governmental, or other sources. 41033. Any waste characterization component prepared by a city pursuant to Section 40132, and any other information submitted by a city to the board on the quantities of solid waste disposed of by the city, shall include data which is as accurate as possible, on the quantities of solid waste generated, diverted, and disposed of, to enable the board, to the maximum extent possible, to accurately measure the diversion requirements of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 41780.
