NON DISPOSAL FACILITY ELEMENT
California Public Resources Code (PRC), Sections 41730 et seq, require every California city
and county to prepare and adopt a Non Disposal Facility Element (NDFE) for all new Non
Disposal facilities and any expansions of existing Non Disposal facilities, which will be needed
to implement local Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRREs). A Non Disposal facility
is defined as any solid waste facility required to obtain a state solid waste facility permit except
a disposal facility or a transformation facility (pRC Section 40151).
The City of San Bernardino has prepared, adopted and hereby transmits to San Bernardino
County the City's NDFE, as required by PRC Section 41730. The City is also submitting a
copy of its NDFE to the California Integrated Waste Management Board for review and
approval. The City's NDFE will be appended to the City's SRRE at the time of the five year
revision.
This NDFE identifies the utilization transfer stations, material recovery facilities (MRFs) and
a yard waste composting facility as Non Disposal facilities necessary to implement the City's
waste diversion goals. Tables M-l, M-2, M-3, and M-4 attached, identify the Non Disposal
facilities the City intends to utilize to implement its SRRE and meet the solid waste diversion
requirements of PRC Section 41780. Although not required by definition, the City's
Intermediate Loading Center for recyclables is included.
A draft of this NDFE was submitted to the San Bernardino County Local Task Force (LTF) for
review and comment regarding the regional impacts of the Non Disposal facilities identified in
this Element, in accordance with the requirements of PRC Sections 4l734(a) and (b). As
indicated by PRC Section 4l735(a), the adoption or amendment of this element is not subject
to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Station
The City of San Bernardino Material Recovery
Facility and Transfer Station (MRF/TS) is a
proposed new solid waste material recovery and
transfer facility which will receive and process
loads of mixed waste, source separated recyclable
materials, commingled recyclables, and greenwaste.
The City of San Bernardino MRF/TS is planned to
process an average of 1,000 to 2,000 tons per day
of waste material.
The City of San Bernardino MRF/TS will divert from
disposal approximately 55% of the wastes generated
yearly in the city of San Bernardino. The entire
waste stream (approximately 800 TPD) generated in
San Bernardino will be taken to the San Bernardino
City MRF/TS for waste processing. Overall, the
City of San Bernardino MRF/TS is expected to
divert from disposal approximately 55% of the
waste material received at this facility.
The City of San Bernardino will be the primary
user of the facility. Additional capacity may be
used by surrounding cities such as Highland,
Yucaipa, Redlands, Lorna Linda, Grand Terrace,
Colton, Rialto, Fontana, and unincorporated county
areas.
The City of San Bernardino MRF/TS will be located
in an industrial area of San Bernardino. Specific
sites for this facility are currently under study.

Re: Letter of Addendum to the City of San Bernardino's Source Reduction and Recycling
Element
Dear Ms, Yandell:
This letter of addendum amends the final draft of the Source Reduction and Recycling Element
(SRRE) adopted by the Mayor and Common Council on March 2, 1992. The amendment
pertains to the selected alternatives listed in the SRRE Recycling and Compost Components
(Chapters 4.4 and 5.4 respectively) as described below. These programs will be implemented
throughout 1994, 1995, and 1996.
RECYCLING COMPONENT PROGRAM SELECTION (CHAPTER 4.4, PAGES 4-25
THROUGH 4-27)
. Omit Alternative 4 (Drop Off Centers) and Alternative 5 (Buy Back Centers) and add
Alternative 6 (Multifamily Collection).
Due to a general decrease in market value and available local outlets for recyclables,
drop off and buy back centers will not be used. However, the City will include
commingled recycling for multifamily dwellings as its successful pilot residential program
is expanded citywide. This will provide all residents the opportunity to recycle a
maximum variety of materials.
. Postpone Alternative 9 (Mechanized Material Recovery) until the Medium Term Planning
Period (online for the year 2000) and add Alternative 7 (CommerciallIndustrial Collection
Programs).
Based on the findings of a regional (East Valley Coalition) study on siting Material
Recovery Facilities (MRFs), the City is able to defer capital intensive MRF development
until the year 2000 in favor of citywide green waste collection for the short term

planning period (1995). Although citywide greenwaste collection will be implemented
as described in Chapter 5.4, the City will accomplish additional waste diversion through
various commercial recycling programs. These may include cardboard, glass, office
paper, tires, woodwaste, and demolition waste recycling.
COMPOSTING COMPONENT PROGRAM SELECTION (CHAPTER 5.4, PAGE 5-13).
. Omit Alternative 2 (Drop Off Facility) and Alternative 4 (Regional Composting Facility)
and augment Alternative 1 (Greenwaste Collection).
Due to the unexpected yet encouraging development of nearby composting and
greenwaste operations, the City no longer anticipates developing the centers listed in the
original SRRE. The City has successfully implemented a commercial green waste
collection program and will provide citywide, residential, automated greenwaste
collection. The City anticipates greater participation and waste diversion through this
program as compared to the one originally listed. This is due to the convenience and
ease of monitoring with the automated system as opposed to residents furnishing their
own bags or containers.
The City anticipates meeting the 25 % diversion goal once these programs are fully operational
during late 1995, Future revision of the SRRE will be done after these and other unchanged
programs listed in the SRRE are implemented and adjusted to provide city residents and
businesses with efficient solid waste management.
Sincerely,
Mayor Tom Minor
