other potential MRFs and green waste diversion facilities. As requested by the Coalit following MRFs are evaluated herein: • The proposed Burrtec MRF/Green Waste Diversion facility in Fontana. • A proposed MRF in the City of San Bernardino. • A potential facility in Agua Mansa Corridor in San Bernardino County. • The proposed Agua Mansa MRF in Riverside County. • A potential MRF at the San Timoteo Landfill. The locations of these facilities are shown in Figure 1-1. It should be stated at the outset that the purpose of this study is not limited to finding that can serve the need of all jurisdictions. This study has been prepared to accompli: following: • To describe the status of efforts to develop these facilities. • To determine the extent which these facilities can serve the AB 939 diversion of jurisdictions in the East Valley Coalition. • To determine what type(s) of facilities are needed for each jurisdiction. • Using a set of siting criteria, to provide an overview of environmental issues to the development of each site. • For each jurisdiction in the Coalition, to compare the costs of using these fac: The study also includes a current inventory of composting and green waste diversion facilities. These facilities either produce compost to be sold as a soil amendment, or produce chipped green waste (including wood) to be sold as mulch, as fuel, or as bu] material for composting. Except for the use of chipped green waste for fuel, the maj green waste products are quite limited due to their overall low value compared with I ing and transportation costs. This lack of markets for green waste products, combing the likelihood that new regulations for composting facilities will increase processing suggests that the future of individual businesses providing green waste diversion sery very uncertain. Due to this uncertainty, this analysis limits itself to providing a prof each facility. 1-2
