A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
OPPOSING SB 1778 (ALARCON) WHICH ELIMINATES DIVERSION CREDITS GIVEN TO
SOURCE SEPARATED GREENWASTE ALTERNATIVE DAILY COVER
WHEREAS, Senator Alarcon has introduced SB 1778, which would eliminate the existing diversion
credit given to source separated greenwaste alternative daily cover; and
WHEREAS, source separated greenwaste alternative daily cover is used to cover deposited waste at
landfills, and has been consistently proven to effectively protect public health and safety and the
environment, while extending the life of landfills; and
WHEREAS, since 1996, agencies have: received diversion credits for curbside greenwaste collection
for use as source separated greenwaste alternative daily cover, helping them to meet the state
mandated waste reduction rate; and
WHEREAS, the elimination of these diversion credits would significantly hamper the ability of many
local jurisdictions to meet the state mandates, making them subject to steep fines and penalties; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar OPPOSES
SB 1778 (Alarcon).
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar shall adopt the Resolution and the City
