Title

Wood Processing and Alternative Cover Frequency at Mono County Disposal Sites

Description

In general, the project consists of two components, namely: 1) the temporary on-site and subsequent processing of clean wood waste into wood chips at all Mono County disposal sites: and, 2) the application of compacted soil cover on constructing and demolition (C&D) wastes at a minimum frequency of once every 90 days at the County's five smaller landfills. The purpose of shredding wood waste is to reduce the amount of material being buried in the County's landfills and to meet State-mandated wast diversion goals. Due to the inert nature of C&D waste, the low rate of C&D waste generation, and the dry climate in its high desert setting, the Mono County Department of Public Works proposes to cover this material on a quarterly basis rather than daily. Public Works has petitioned the Mono County Health Department to approve the proposed alternative cover frequency pursuant to section 20680 (f), Title 27, California Code of Regulations (27 CCR 20680 (1).
