Therefore, the EMC respectfully recommends that Bill No. 286 be revised to allow for non- recyclable UCO/FOG wastes to continue to be landfilled, subject to all solid waste facility permit conditions and other regulations. Consideration should also be given for commercial generators who have no commercial recycling options within distance to the nearest landfill, or some other reasonable distance limit. Some possible language, such as the following, could be added to the end of the prohibitory language in SECTION 1 and SECTION 3, as follows: "The foregoing prohibition shall apply only to the extent that there are legally permitted commercial recyclers who are willing and able to accept such materials for recycling, by way of either pick-up at the place of generation, or drop-off within driving distance from the place of generation which is less than to the nearest county landfill." (or other distance limit) OR: "The foregoing prohibition shall not apply to commercial cooking oil wastes or commercial FOG wastes which: (1) Legally permitted commercial recyclers are not willing or able to accept for recycling, or(2)Which no legally permitted commercial recycler is willing to collect either by way of pick-up at the place of generation, or by way of drop-off within driving distance from the place of generation which is less than to the nearest county landfill. (or other distance limit). " 3. Finally, the EMC respectfully recommends that the Council hold public hearings on Bill No. 286 to ensure that the input of stakeholders such as waste generators, waste haulers and commercial recyclers is fully received and considered. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this Bill. er;y, ///) yA,A,,,/,, _ ; , L_.._... t 4."7 -,_ c___ rman Warner Chair cc: William Kenoi, Mayor Bill Takaba, Managing Director Dora Beck, P.E., Acting DEM Director EMC Commissioners
