The purpose of these <br />visits is to determine whether waste origin information is being collected as required by Title 14 <br />California Code of Regulations (CCR) Sections 18805-18810, and to observe how the surveys <br />are being conducted. These regulations specify that all permitted solid waste facilities are to <br />conduct, at a minimum, quarterly surveys to obtain information on the jurisdiction(s) of origin <br />for each vehicle load, including self -hauled waste, delivered to the facility during the required <br />survey weeks. <br />During the origin survey week, December 8-14, 2003, California Integrated Waste Management <br />Board (Board) staff brought waste to Lovelace Transfer Station and North County Recycling <br />Center and Sanitary Landfill. At North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill gatehouse <br />staff asked for information regarding the origin of the waste. Specifically, the gate attendant <br />asked, "Where is your waste from?" However, at Lovelace Transfer Station the gate attendant <br />asked, "Where are you from?" This question does not accurately determine the origin of the <br />waste. Board staff corrected the gate attendant to ask customers, "Where is the waste from?" <br />After observing the procedures at both facilities during the above mentioned survey week, the <br />sites were found in compliance with the requirements set forth in Title 14 CCR Section 18805. <br />California Environmental Protection Agency <br />Printed on Recycled Paper <br />The energy challenge facing California is real. Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption.
