Document Description
Note: Subsequent EIR Scoping. Reference SCH #1998041003 & 2008021052.
The County of Santa Barbara proposes to develop a Resource Recovery Project that would process municipal solid waste from the communities currently served by the Tajiguas Landfill. The Resource Recovery Project will be designed and constructed to process various waste streams delivered to the Tajiguas Landfill from unincorporated areas of the South Coast of Santa Barbara, the Cities of Santa Barbara, Goleta, Buellton and Solvang as well as the unincorporated Santa Ynez and New Cuyama Valleys. The waste stream anticipated to be delivered for processing is mixed municipal solid waste. As an optional project element, commingled source separated recyclables and source separated organic waste from existing and future recycling programs could also be brought to the Resource Recovery Project for consolidated processing. The Resource Recovery Project would be located at the Tajiguas Landfill and would include a Materials Recovery Facility (to recover recyclable materials), a Dry Fermentation Anaerobic Digestion Facility (to process organic waste into biogas and digestate), and an Energy Facility that would use the biogas from the Anaerobic Digestion Facility to produce electricity. The digestate would be further cured in outdoor windrows at the landfill to create compost and/or soil amendments. Residual waste (residue) from the processing would be disposed of in the landfill. No change in the landfill's permitted capacity is proposed.
