<br /> 19 Section 17853.0. Approval of Alternatives.
<br /> 20
<br /> 21 (a) Approvals, determinations and other requirements that the EA is authorized to make in this
<br /> 22 Chapter shall be provided in writing by the EA to the operator. The operator shall place a copy
<br /> 23 of these approvals, in addition to those records identified in sections 17869, in the operating
<br /> 24 record.
<br /> 25 (b) Some of the provisions of this Chapter allow the EA to approve a reduced inspection
<br /> 26 frequency. The EA shall only approve a reduced inspection frequency if the EA finds that it is
<br /> 27 as protective of the public health and safety and the environment as the standard inspection
<br /> 28 frequency.
<br /> 29 (c) Some of the standards contained in this Chapter allow the EA to approve an alternative
<br /> 30 method of compliance with the standard. These provisions are not intended to allow the EA to
<br /> 31 change the particular standard,but are intended to allow the EA flexibility to approve, in
<br /> 32 advance, an alternative method of meeting the existing standard. For facilities that require a full
<br /> 33 solid waste facilities permit, the EA may choose to include the approved method as a term and
<br /> 34 condition of the solid waste facilities permit,rather than in the manner authorized by subdivision
<br /> 35 (a) of this section. If the method is included in the Compostable Materials Handling Facility
<br /> 36 Permit, a change to the method may require a revision to the solid waste facilities permit in
<br /> 37 accordance with the procedures set forth in Title 27, Division 2, Subdivision 1, Chapter 4,
<br /> 38 Subchapter 3, Articles 2, 3, and 3.1 (commencing with section 21570).
