RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council hold a Public Hearing and after
receiving testimony from any interested individuals adopt Resolution No.
94-123 approving the City of Tustin's Non-Disposal Facility Element
(NDFE).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact on the City.
BACKGROUND
In 1989, the California Legislature enacted the California Integrated
Waste Management Act (AB 939). AB 939 requires cities and counties to
prepare, adopt, and implement various planning documents for the
reduction of solid waste disposal in landfills. These documents include
a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) and a Household
Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE).
In 1992, the California legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3001 (AB
3001), which amended AB 939. This statute required cities and counties
to prepare another planning document, the Non-Disposal Facility Element
{NDFE), which is to be adopted and submitted to the State for approval
by December 31, 1994.
DISCUSSION
TO ensure that each local jurisdiction has adequately planned for waste
diversion, AB 939 and AB 3001 require that the City prepare and adopt a
NDFE. The intent of the NDFE is to identify all new or any necessary ·
expansions of existing non-disposal facilities which will be needed in
the County through the year 2000 with capacity levels adequate for the
continual successful implementation of the SRRE recycling and diversion
programs. A Non-Disposal Facility is defined as, "any solid waste
facility required to obtain a solid waste facilities permit".
Specifically, Tustin's NDFE discusses future capacity needs for Sunset
Environmental, the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) utilized for the
City's recycling program.
The City's NDFE identifies the utilization of transfer stations, MRFs
and composting facilities necessary to implement the programs selected
for implementation in the city of Tustin's SRRE for both the short (1991
to 1995) and medium-term (1996 to 2000) planning periods. Figure 1
presents the general locations of existing, expanding, and proposed
nondisposal facilities in Orange County. Table 1, within Tustin's
proposed NFDE, describes the utilization of existing, expanding, and
proposed nondisposal facilities required to implement the City of
Tustin's SRRE and identifies future nondisposal facility capacity needs
!as well. Table 2 describes the existing, expanding and known, proposed
nondisposal facilities utilized by the City. The methodology followed
to develop this NDFE is attached to document as Appendix A.
While planning for NDFE preparation, a Countywide coordinated approach
was employed, as was done with SRRE/HHWE preparation. This Countywide
approach ensured consistency among cities for NDFE preparation, thereby
minimizing costs. In October of 1993, the Orange County Integrated
Waste Management Department contracted with a private firm to prepare a
NDFE for each city and the unincorporated County area. A workshop was
held for the cities on January 5, 1994 to involve each city in the
process and to delegate each jurisdictions' responsibility in the
preparation of the NDFE. To develop the data-base for the NDFEs, the
City's SRRE programs and current and projected tonnage data were
identified, and a Countywide survey was conducted of all cities, haulers
and non-disposal facility owners/operators. Using this data, a
preliminary NDFE was drafted for Tustin and reviewed by staff.
Subsequently, the Final Draft NDFE was completed and transmitted to the
County Local Task Force (LTF) for review on August 5, 1994. The LTF
subsequently approved the City's NDFE on September 12, 1994, and
recommended it for submittal to the California Integrated Waste
Management Board, as required by law.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council hold a Public Hearing and Adopt
Resolution No. 94-123, approving and adopting the City of Tustin~s Non-
Disposal Facility Element.
After the City Council adopts Resolution No. 94-123, the NDFE will be
submitted to the State for review and approval with a copy to the County
for inclusion into the County Integrated Waste Management Plan ~CIWMP).

CITY OF TUSTIN
NON-DISPOSAL FACILITY ELEMENT
(NDFE)
Nondisposal Facility Element
City of Tustin
California Public Resources Code (PRC), Section 41730 et seq.,
requires every California city and county to prepare and adopt a
Nondisposal Facility Element (NDFE) for .all new nondisposal
facilities and any expansions of existing nondisposal facilities
that will be needed to implement the city or county's Source
Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE). A nondisposal facility is
defined as any solid waste facility required to obtain a State
Solid Waste Facility Permit from the California Integrated Waste
Management Board, except a disposal facility or a transformation
facility (PRC Section 40151). Based on this definition,
nondisposal facilities include transfer stations, material recovery
facilities (MRFs), and composting facilities.
This NDFE identifies the utilization of transfer stations, MRFs and
composting facilities necessary to implement the programs selected
for implementation in the City of Tustin's SRREfor both the short-
(1991 to 1995) and medium-term (1996 to 2000) planning periods.
Figure i presents the general locations of existing, expanding, and
proposed nondisposal facilities in Orange County. Table 1
describes the utilization of existing, expanding, and proposed
nondisposal facilities required to implement the City of Tustin's
SRRE and identifies future nondisposalfacility capacity needs as
well. Table 2 describes the existing, expanding and known,
proposed nondisposal facilities utilized by the City. The
methodology followed to develop this NDFE is attached as Appendix
A.
As indicated by PRC Section 41735(a), the adoption or amendment of
this element is not subject to environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). However, the
development of individual nondisposal facilities may be subject to
environmental review under CEQA during the permitting process. The
NDFE and any amendments are required to be appended to the City's
SRRE when it is included in the Countywide Integrated Waste
Management Plan. The NDFE will be incorporated into the City's
SRRE at the time of the first 5 year revision.
Methodology for Developing the Nondisposal Facility Elements for
City of Tustin
Introduction
The objective of the Facility Element (NDFE) is to identify the
utilization of transfer stations, material recovery facilities
(MRFs), and composting facilities necessary to implement the
programs selected for implementation in the City of Tustin's Source
Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) for both the short- (1991 to
1995) and medium-term (1996 to 2000) planning periods. For Orange
County, a Countywide approach was used to develop the NDFE data for
the County unincorporated area and for each of the cities. The
NDFE data tables were developed based on information that was
available to the cities and County at the time the NDFE was
prepared.
Countywide Survey
A Countywide survey was conducted of city and county
representatives, waste haulers, and nondisposal facility
owners/operators to develop a database of current and future
proposed utilization of various existing, expanding, and future
proposed nondisposal facilities. The NDFE survey was discussed at
a City/County Workshop on January 5, 1994, and the survey was
conducted during the period of January through March 1994. The
survey data was collected specifically for the development of the
NDFEs and not for determining compliance with the diversion goals
of AB 939. The City and County representatives, waste haulers and
nondisposal facility owners/operators surveyed are listed on the
following pages.
NDFE Data Table Development
Two sets of NDFE data tables were compiled: 1) a table for the
County unincorporated area and for the City of Tustin that
describes the utilization of existing, expanding, and proposed
nondisposal facilities required to implement the City's SRRE, as
well as identification of future nondisposal facility capacity
needs; and 2) a series of tables that describe each of the
existing, expanding and known proposed nondisposal facilities
utilized by the County and cities. These tables were compiled based
on the existing conditions as surveyed, the future programs
specified in city and County representative surveys, and the
programs and projected diversion tonnages identified in the County
and the City's SRRE. Because City and County representatives,
waste haulers, and nondisposal facility operators provided data for
varying reporting periods, the total of the existing average daily
use by the City may not match the average daily capacity reported
by the nondisposal facility operator.
