Title

Alameda County Waste Management Authority Organics Processing Development Program and Project Draft EIR

Description

The ACWMA Organics Processing Development Program consists of: (1) implementing a public/private program to develop long-term and sustainable composting services for jurisdictions in Alameda County, (2) providing an opportunity for the jurisdictions of Alameda County to divert organic wastes from landfills, and (3) developing a composting facility within Alameda County. The objective of the Program is to secure high-volume, high-quality, low-cost, long-term, in-county composting services supplied equitably to ACWMA member agencies. The ACWMA is proposing to partner with Material Recovery Industries, Incorporated (MRI) to develop a new compost facility in Alameda County on a 40-acre site within the 100 to 200 acre parcel that is located off Andrade Road south of Highway 680 in the Sunol Valley, currently owned by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). The facility would compost organic materials including, but not limited to green waste, food scraps and food contaminated paper. The facility would ultimately have the capacity to compost approximately 600 tons per day of organic materials. The facility would use the window system and the aerated static pile technology for processing organic materials.
