circulation of the DE comments were received from Kern County Waste IR, ty Management regarding the impact of this project on public facilities(landfills)..This could impact the County's Diversion goals and compliance with California law(AB 939)and so represents a potentially significant impact to Public Services by jeopardizing Kern County's compliance with state regulations related to solid waste (Environmental Checklist XVI(g)). Five of the waste streams for disposal by this project,biosolids, spent sandblast media,treated auto shredder waste,cogeneration ash(fly ash)and lime filter cake, if generated within Kern County,would represent a negative impact to the County's diversion efforts if subject to disposal reporting criteria. The California Integrated Waste Management Board(CIWMB) determines,based on the category of Landfill permit(Class I,II or III),the level of reporting required of waste streams. In addition there is a process to request an exemption of certain wastes from the disposal reporting criteria. To ensure that there are no negative impacts on the County's mandated requirements to achieve the 50% diversion goal,mitigation measures have been clarified to restrict the permit for five wastes streams(Dewatered Class A or B biosolids, spent sandblast media, fly ash treated auto shredder waste and lime filter cake)to a permit that does not require disposal reporting. With the imposition of the following revised mitigation measures the impacts to public services can be considered less than significant. Finding Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project that substantially lessen the potentially significant effect as identified in the Final EIIt, so that environmental effects after such mitigation are reduced to a less than significant level. Brief Explanation of the Rationale for the Finding Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1), the Board of Supervisors finds that the project's adherence to the following mitigation measures will reduce the potential impact of this significant effect to a less than significant level: Mitigation Measure 4.5-3 This facility shall only accept dewatered Class A and B biosolids, treated auto shredder waste, fly ash, spent sandblast media and lime filter cake. Verification must be obtained from the State (CIWMB) of a solid waste facilities permit that is not subject to the Disposal Reporting Waste System or an exemption to disposal reporting criteria of these wastes must be submitted to the LEA and the Planning Department prior to acceptance of waste. Acceptance of the following waste streams, (shredded auto tires, concrete/cement rubble, designated asphalt products and chipped construction lumber) shall be prohibited either for disposal or for beneficial use. A Loadcheck Program, as required by Title 27 and Title 14, [Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program Plan] shall also be developed and submitted to the Local Enforcement Agency for approval prior to the acceptance of waste. The Loadcheck program and quality assurance/quality control program will be submitted to the Planning Department after LEA approval. C.
