The Sonoma County Waste Management Agency (SCWMA) has prepared a Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report (RDEIR) for the SCWMA Compost Facility. This RDEIR addresses an increase in the amount of material processed at the Central Site Alternative from 110,000 tons per year (analyzed in the “2011 Draft EIR) to 200,000 tons per year (analyzed in this Recirculated Draft EIR). To assure that all the resource areas are appropriately analyzed, all the resource areas for the Central Site Alternative are reviewed in this RDEIR for impacts related to the increased capacity and operational changes. As to the increased throughput, recirculation of the entire 2011 Draft EIR is not required because other sites (Sites 5A and 40) were already analyzed for 200,000 tons per year.
