CLFP Testifies Regarding Proposed New Land Application Regulations

On December 10, CLFP staff participated in a hearing conducted in Sacramento by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) regarding proposed new regulations for food processing land application sites. The proposed regulations would classify food processing solid byproducts as "wastes" and facilities or farms that stockpile or store these materials as "waste handling facilities" under the jurisdiction of CalRecycle. The net effect of this change would be to add a new layer of regulations that would discourage land application across the state.
