SECTION 41030-41033




41030.  (a) For the initial source reduction and recycling element
of a countywide integrated waste management plan which is required to
be submitted to the board pursuant to Section 41791, the city waste
characterization component shall identify the constituent materials
which comprise the solid waste generated within the city. The
information shall be representative of the solid waste generated
within, and disposed of by, the city and shall reflect seasonal
variations. The constituent materials shall be identified by volume,
percentage in weight or its volumetric equivalent, material type, and
source of generation, which includes residential, commercial,
industrial, governmental, or other sources. Future revisions of waste
characterization studies shall identify the constituent materials
which comprise the solid waste disposed of at permitted disposal
facilities.
   (b) In adopting or revising regulations implementing subdivision
(a), the board shall do all of the following:
   (1) Permit the use of studies or data developed on a county or
regional basis and adapted to the conditions which exist in a city
preparing its waste characterization component.
   (2) Permit the use of preexisting data or studies, including those
data and studies prepared by local governments with similar waste
characteristics.
   (3) Require only that amount of seasonal sampling, and waste
characterization only of those categories of waste, necessary to
achieve the diversion requirements of paragraph (1) of subdivision
(a) of Section 41780.



41031.  Any waste characterization component prepared by a city
pursuant to Section 41030, and any other information submitted by a
city to the board on the quantities of solid waste generated,
diverted, and disposed of, shall include data which is as accurate as
possible, on the quantities of solid waste generated, diverted, and
disposed of, to enable the board, to the maximum extent possible, to
accurately measure the diversion requirements established under
paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 41780.



41032.  For the first revision, and any subsequent revision, of a
source reduction and recycling element of a countywide integrated
waste management plan which is required to be submitted to the board
pursuant to Section 41770, the city waste characterization component
shall identify the constituent materials which comprise the solid
waste disposed of by the city. The information shall be statistically
representative of the solid waste disposed of by the city and shall
reflect seasonal variations. The constituent materials shall be
identified, to the extent practicable, by volume, percentage in
weight, or its volumetric equivalent, material type, and source of
generation, which includes residential, commercial, industrial,
governmental, or other sources.



41033.  Any waste characterization component prepared by a city
pursuant to Section 40132, and any other information submitted by a
city to the board on the quantities of solid waste disposed of by the
city, shall include data which is as accurate as possible, on the
quantities of solid waste generated, diverted, and disposed of, to
enable the board, to the maximum extent possible, to accurately
measure the diversion requirements of paragraph (2) of subdivision
(a) of Section 41780.
