Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
By Resolution Number 05-052 (April 12, 2005), the Board of Supervisors approved a Pledge of Revenue Agreement as the financial assurance mechanism for the post-closure maintenance and corrective action for the Caspar, Laytonville and South Coast Landfills.
Summary of Request:
Public Resources Code sections 43500 through 43610.1 and Title 27, California Code of Regulations, Division 2, Subdivision 1, Chapter 6 (Regulations), require operators of solid waste landfills to demonstrate the availability of financial resources to conduct closure, post-closure maintenance, and corrective action activities. By Resolution Number 05-052 (adopted April 12, 2005) the Board of Supervisors approved a Pledge of Revenue Agreement between the County of Mendocino and the California Integrated Waste Management Board, which provides an acceptable financial assurance mechanism to demonstrate financial responsibility for financing the post-closure maintenance and corrective action for the Laytonville, South Coast and Caspar Landfills, however did not provide a financial assurance mechanism for closure activities. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery has notified the County that Caspar and Laytonville Landfills are certified closed but the County has not met requirements to provide financial assurance demonstration for the closure of South Coast Landfill. Sections 22228 and 22241 of the Regulations specify an enterprise fund as an acceptable mechanism to demonstrate financial responsibility for financing the closure of a solid waste landfill. It is now appropriate to establish an account within the current Landfill Closure Fund as a financial assurance mechanism for the closure of South Coast Landfill and to transfer to it funds sufficient to meet the requirements of sections 22225 and 22241 of the California Code of Regulations.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Postpone establishing a financial assurance mechanism for closure of the South Coast Landfill.
