Ail greenwaste disposed <br /> at the facility will have "load i~,rpectors" to inmre that contaminants are not getting mixed <br /> in with 'the yard waste. The inspected material will be loaded into our 148-cubic yard <br /> tran-~fer trailers, hauled to Ox Motmtain and processed as alternate daily cover at the <br /> landfill. <br /> <br /> · For persons who want to compost their own yard clippings and yard waste, BFI will <br /> continue to help promote the County of San Mateo's baclcyard composting program. <br /> <br /> BFI, like virtually every other land_fill operator in Northern California, proposes to grind and use <br /> all greenwaste as an alternative daily cover at Ox Mountain Sanitary Landfill, as allowed by State <br /> regulations. This enables the JPA jurisdictions to immediately receive diversion credit, by using <br /> greenwaste for daily alternative landffil cover. <br /> <br /> We are confident that our plan to initiate the greenwaste program for alternative daily cover at Ox <br />.. Mom is a cost-efficient program. As stated above, other landfills also are taking advantage <br /> of the diversion credits by ming grinded yard waste as daily alternative cover. <br /> <br /> Because of working closely with the County and cities on the SREE, our revised proposal <br /> continues to. focus on using Ox Mountain. Because it is designated in the SREE, receiving the <br /> appropriate state, regional and county permits, in our view, is simply a matter of procedure. We <br /> estimate that we will collect 70,200 tons per year of greenwaste for our ADC, 36,200 tons from <br /> self haulers to the Transfer Station and Ox Mountain, and 34,000 tons from our curbside <br /> collection. <br /> <br /> I am available to respond to any questions you may have. <br /> 'Sincerely, <br /> <br /> District Manager <br /> <br /> DD:ct <br /> <br /> ce: $olm Zirelli <br /> Gino Gasparini <br /> DeN Sargent <br /> <br /> <br />
