Current SVR Projects

Long Term Facility Needs EIR Project

SVR has begun an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Project based on the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to study a new location for a permanent transfer station and resource recovery center. The Project includes studying a single site or a mix of locations in the County for the facility.

The Project would allow SVR to implement State law requirements to increase diversion activities and would help SVR meet its objectives to:

Reduce garbage being disposed of at the Johnson Canyon landfill;
Increase recycling and reuse;
Decrease Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by minimizing haul distances and miles travelled; and
Minimizing land use conflicts and environmental impacts while continuing to provide recycling and disposal services to the Salinas Valley communities.
