Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15273, Rates, Tolls, Fares and Charges & Section 15061(b)(3) General Rule Exemption
Reasons for Exemption
This project involves the modification and restructuring of fees and approval of rates for the purpose of meeting operating expenses, and other inflation factors including salary increases, stricter regulatory compliance requirements and increased permitting fees. As such, due to the administrative nature of the Project, no environmental resources will be affected; therefore, the Project meets the scope and intent of Section 15273, Statutory Exemption.
Section 15061(b)(3) because:
The Project proposes to increase landfill disposal fees by the percentage change in CPI for the
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario index for the 12-month period ending January 2024. The
percentage change in CPI is calculated to be 2.88%. The Project proposes to increase landfill
disposal fees/rates consistent with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for certain solid waste
streams. Direct haul/non-contracted rate for routine refuse, for example, is proposed to increase
from the current $49.75 per ton to $51.18 per ton.
