This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, which is administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, requires each city, county, and regional agency, if any, to develop a source reduction and recycling element of an integrated waste management plan. With certain exceptions, the source reduction and recycling element of that plan is required to divert 50% of all solid waste, through source reduction, recycling, and composting activities. Existing law allows the 50% diversion requirement to include not more than 10% through transformation or "biomass conversion," as defined, if specified conditions are met. This bill would revise the definition of the term "biomass conversion" to include, in addition to controlled combustion used for producing heat or electricity, the conversion technology used in a biomass conversion technology facility, as defined by this bill. The bill would require a biomass conversion technology facility to meet specified requirements. The bill would require the department to notify an air district within 48 hours of determining there is a specified violation so the air district can investigate and begin any necessary enforcement action. The bill would require an air district, prior to issuing a permit to a biomass conversion technology facility, to determine whether a facility meets all the requirements for best available control technology, as specified. The bill would also require a biomass conversion technology facility to submit specified documents to the city or county, including a city and county, with land use permitting authority over the proposed facility that demonstrate the design and operation of the facility. Because the bill would impose additional duties on an air district, cities, and counties, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
