Soil Investigations for Data Collection in the Delta Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 199 water contract agreements, groundwater pumping limitations, and the infrastructure required to treat, pump, and deliver water (Delta Stewardship Council 2017) 3.19.1.3 Solid Waste Management Counties and cities are responsible for solid waste management planning, administration, and facility approval. Local enforcement agencies, authorized under the California Integrated Waste Management Act, are responsible for permitting of solid waste facilities. In locations that do not have an authorized local enforcement agency, solid waste facility permitting is under the jurisdiction of the state agency CalRecycle. Many municipalities enter into franchise agreements with private waste management businesses. Oversight of solid waste disposal facilities is conducted in cooperation with private collection and disposal businesses and other local and regional public agencies. The planning and operation of solid waste management facilities often is coordinated regionally because some communities do not have landfill sites within their boundaries, making it necessary to haul waste to an out-of-county/city facility for disposal. These communities utilize transfer stations and recycling facilities that are a component of local waste management solutions (Delta Stewardship Council 2017). Resource recovery (recycling, composting, and waste-to-energy) is implemented to comply with state diversion regulations, to extend the life of landfills, to reduce environmental impacts of solid waste disposal, and to reuse resources. Resource recovery activities are commonly subject to performance measures and requirements in local Integrated Waste Management Plans (Delta Stewardship Council 2017). Each county within the Proposed Project area contains solid waste facilities, including the Yolo County Central Landfill, Kiefer Landfill, Keller Canyon Landfill, Altamont Landfill & Resource Recovery Facility, Corral Hollow Landfill, and Lovelace Materials Recovery Facility and Transfer Station. 3.19.1.4 Electricity and Natural Gas Energy providers within the Study Area include electric utility districts and natural gas companies. The existing energy utilities to the counties in the Study Area includes aboveground and underground electric transmission and distribution lines, power poles, and gas lines, including those from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC), and Western Area Power Administration (WAPA). 3.19.1.5 Communications Regarding telecommunications, underground fiber trunk lines feed switching equipment, and overhead lines and poles supply individual service units. The communication lines typically are aligned parallel to the roadways and traverse roadways to supply the individual service units. Cable markers indicating underground cabling are located in some areas parallel to roadways. A network of telephone companies, cellular
