Document Description
The proposed modification to the approved Valley Fill Project involves expansion of the current 25,000-ton-per-year green waste windrow composting facility and development and operation of a covered aerated static pile (CASP) green waste and food waste compost facility to comply with California's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy organic waste disposal targets. The compost facility would be designed to accept up to 75,000 tons per year of green waste and food waste and capable of storing up to 100,000 cubic yards on-site of organic material. Additional site improvements would include construction of a new lined wastewater storage pond, on-site drainage improvements, and improvements to working surfaces such as paving active composting and/or processing areas or amending/compacting the soil.
