Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 27, § 21660.4 - Substitute Meetings in Place of EA-Conducted Informational Meetings

The EA may substitute the meeting required under § 21660.2 with a previously held public meeting on the same project, as described in the solid waste facilities permit application package and associated CEQA documents, if the public meeting took place within one year prior to the date the EA accepted the application as complete and correct, and the applicant does not object. In order for this substitution to be valid, the EA must have been involved in the previously held meeting to the degree of being present, recognized by the presider of the meeting, and available to answer questions regarding solid waste facilities permitting specifications from the public, other entities, or officials in attendance at the meeting.

(a) Content of Notice of New and Revised Full Permit Applications Using Substituted Meeting or Hearing

(1) Name and location of the facility or proposed facility.

(8) Options for submitting comments.

(9) Information on the availability of appeals to challenge the EA's issuance or denial of a revised or new permit pursuant to Public Resources Code § 44307.

(b) Notice Distribution for New and Revised Full Permit Application for Substituted Meeting or Hearing

In addition to the requirements in § 21660(a) the EA shall prepare a notice that contains information pursuant to § 21660.4(a) and distribute the notice as follows:

(1) Posting of notice prepared and posted by the EA on the EA's or the local jurisdiction's public notice board, if one exists, and

(2) 10 days prior to the EA making a final determination, the EA shall post the notice in the manner set forth in Government Code § 65091, subdivisions (a)-(c), inclusive and with Public Resources Code § 44004, subdivisions (h)(1)(A-C), and

(3) 10 days prior to the EA making a final determination, the EA shall mail or deliver the notice to the governing body of the jurisdiction within which the facility is located and to the State Assembly Member and the State Senator in whose districts the facility is located, and

(4) The EA may undertake additional measures to increase public notice to any persons who may be interested in the application, including but not limited to additional posting at the facility entrance, noticing beyond 300 feet if the nearest residence or business is not within 300 feet of the site, posting in a local newspaper of general circulations, and multilingual notice.
