The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), as the Lead Agency, is preparing a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Senate Bill (SB) 54 Implementing Regulations (Proposed Program). The Proposed Program would implement the requirements of SB 54 for producers of covered materials to source reduce plastic covered material and meet recyclability and compostability targets; for producers to establish a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) for the purpose of developing and implementing an Extended Producer Responsibility program for covered material; reporting and fee requirements for producers; and requirements for local jurisdictions and recycling service providers. It is reasonably foreseeable that meeting the SB 54 source reduction and recycling rates will require the development of infrastructure to optimize recycling and disposal waste streams, including collection, sorting, and processing facilities.
CalRecycle is soliciting comments from responsible and trustee agencies as well as interested parties as to the scope and content of the environmental information to be included in the PEIR. In accordance with CEQA, agencies are requested to review the Proposed Program provided in the Notice of Preparation and to provide comments on environmental issues related to the statutory responsibilities of each responsible or trustee agency.
CalRecycle is requesting identification of the scope and content of environmental issues and information that you or your organization believes should be considered in the PEIR.
