CEQA
CEQA applies to CalRecycle’s decision on the proposed Landfill
Under CEQA, CalRecycle is a “Responsible Agency”; the LEA is the “Lead Agency”
The Lead Agency prepares the EIR for the project
A Responsible Agency must use the Lead Agency’s Environmental Impact Report except in unusual circumstances (such as the project changes before the Responsible Agency acts on it or new information is learned)
A Responsible Agency can impose mitigation measures only on matters within its jurisdiction

CalRecycle Staff Independent Review

Conforms with the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan
Preliminary Closure/Postclosure Maintenance Plans consistent with state minimum standards
Current documentation of acceptable funding level for Financial Assurances

CalRecycle Review
Staff reviews application package submitted by the LEA and provides a staff report and findings to management.
CalRecycle must concur or object to proposed permit within 60 days after LEA submits permit (July 15, 2011).
If CalRecycle concurs, the LEA will be required to issue permit.

CalRecycle’s Role CalRecycle must concur unless the
permit fails to meet statutory requirements, such as: Permit is not consistent with state
minimum standards Financial assurances for operating
