SECTION 41710-41712

41710. (a) A county may tentatively reserve an area or areas for
the location of a new solid waste transformation or disposal facility
or the expansion of an existing transformation or disposal facility
even though that reservation of the area or areas is not consistent
with the applicable city or county general plan. A reserved area in a
countywide siting element is tentative until it is made consistent
with the applicable city or county general plan.
(b) If a county has tentatively identified a site expansion or a
potential site for a new solid waste transformation or disposal
facility in its countywide siting element, that tentative site
identification may be deemed a tentative area for the purposes of
Sections 41711 and 41712.

41711. An area tentatively reserved for the establishment or
expansion of a solid waste transformation or disposal facility shall
be removed from the countywide siting element if a city or county
fails or has failed to make the finding that the area is consistent
with the general plan or has made a finding that the area should not
be used for the location of a solid waste transformation or disposal
facility.

41712. The removal of a tentatively reserved area from the
countywide siting element, pursuant to Section 41711, shall be
accomplished by either one of the following methods:
(a) The county shall remove the area at the time of the next
revision of the siting element.
(b) The local agency having jurisdiction over the area shall
request the county to remove the designation at the time of the next
revision of the siting element.
