| Comment |
The City of San Diego Environmental Services Department supports eligible investments in the current draft concept paper (released February 15, 2013), and specifically applauds the inclusion of investments in municipal solid waste diversion through composting. The City strongly supports draft investment principle #7: funding should leverage private and other government investment to the maximum extent possible. Although it is not clear, it appears that these investments could be in the form of matching grants (perhaps even matching up to 50% of project costs) to support a local government’s existing or planned project to divert additional organics and recyclables from the landfill, enhance compost processing technology, and expand recycling infrastructure. Increased composting is critical to the City meeting AB341 and AB32 goals. |
