Document Description
Provisions of the California Integrated Solid Waste Management Act of 1989 (IWMA) mandate CalRecycle to adopt and revise regulations which set forth minimum standards for solid waste handling, transfer, composting, transformation, and disposal in accordance with Public Resources Code (PRC) sections 40502, 43020, and 43021. Furthermore, Assembly Bill 2679 (Chapter 500, Statutes of 2008) added PRC section 44000.5 prohibiting a person from disposing, transporting, or arranging for the disposal of solid waste except at a permitted solid waste disposal facility and authorizes CalRecycle or the LEA to issue a cease and desist order to any person who violates this provision. CalRecycle has developed a proposed emergency regulation to establish administrative procedures to enable CalRecycle fulfill its responsibilities pursuant to PRC Sections 40502, 43020, 43021, and 44000.5.
