0 <br />Benefits of Green Material <br />July 20, 1994 <br />Page 2 <br />Shredded green material has certain advantages as ADC. Green <br />material can be used as an alternative to soil to comply with the <br />daily cover requirement recently mandated by federal Subtitle D <br />regulations and 14 CCR Section 17258.21. Being an indigenous <br />(waste -derived) material, green material may be less costly and <br />more available than soil or commercial ADC materials. Segregated <br />green material has little or no pathogenic or hazardous <br />contaminants normally associated with other indigenous ADC, such <br />as _ncinerator ash, sewage sludge, or auto shredder fluff. <br />...................................... <br />Anotherbenefit is that green material ADC can be <br />counted Itowards the mandated AB 939 waste disposal reduction <br />goals. Any local jurisdiction using normally disposed of ADC for <br />meeting the 25% AB 939 requirement may include up to 7% through <br />the use of ADC provided the conditions of the Board's ADC Policy <br />adopted on December 15, 1993 are met (attached). <br />Green material has been successfully demonstrated as suitable ADC <br />for ongoing use at five landfills, four in Los Angeles County and <br />one in Yolo County. Streamlined approval conditions have been <br />established in this LEA Advisory based primarily on these <br />approved demonstrations. <br />Approval Conditions <br />For shredded green material ADC demonstration projects, the <br />following generic conditions must be satisfied Eb:,cc:::::_v'. <br />(a) The Local Enforcement Agency (LEA), or its agent must <br />monitor the demonstration project for compliance with the <br />performance standards criteria at the frequencies specified <br />in Title 14, Division 7, California Code of Regulations (14 <br />CCR), Section 17683. <br />(b) A schedule for conducting the demonstration project <br />must be submitted to the LEA prior to commencement of the <br />study. The schedule should include study initiation and <br />completion dates, a description of the test areas, a list of <br />parameters to be monitored, and approximate measurement time <br />frames. <br />(c) A document verifying compliance with the California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) from the lead public agency <br />(e.g. local planning department) must be submitted prior to <br />commencement of the study. Under Public Resources Code <br />(PRC) Section 21084, demonstration projects may be <br />
