Comment:
The landfill diversion rules of AB 939 need to be modified to allow thermal conversion of waste materials into fuels and chemicals. Millions of tons each year are buried that many technologies could convert into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, solid fuel, or specialty chemical. This is generally prohibited by the uncertainties of obtaining a Solid Waste Facility Permit from the IWMB. Further the CIWMB should offer incentives for developers to build projects close to MRF's and landfills to intercept material and make it into fuel. This would reduce truck traffic, create renewable fuels, and reduce diesel pollution.
