Siskiyou County Recycling Market Development Zone

Siskiyou County Recycling Market Development Zone

The proposed program is designed to encourage manufacturing companies within Siskiyou County to use recycled products in their manufacturing process in order to reduce the waste stream in accordance with Assembly Bill 939. Creation of the RMDZ would provide a variety of financing and permit streamlining incentives to manufacturers who use recycling feedstock including post consumer plastics, old newspaper or mixed waste paper, post consumer glass and yard waste to make new consumer ready end products. Through designation as an RMDZ, the State of California offers low interest loans, engineering and technical assistance, siting and permit assistance for qualifying businesses. The proposed program does not permit any land uses not already permitted by zoning. The use of recycled materials by any otherwise permitted manufacturing uses, in and of itself, would have no significant adverse environmental impacts. Those land uses which would require the issuance of a discretionary permit without the use of recycled materials would also require suc a permit if recycled materials are used. The specific environmental effects of the proposed use would be evaluated at the time additonal discretionary permits are requested. No significant adverse environmental impacts will result from the implementation of this program.
