SECTION 42510-42511

42510. It is the intent of the Legislature that actions taken by
the board and cities and counties pursuant to this article serve in
the best interests of cities and counties by preserving existing
disposal site capacity and providing a source of revenue from the
stabilization and expansion of markets for processed wood waste
materials. Except as provided in Sections 41783, 41784, and 41785,
any actions taken pursuant to this article shall be separate from,
and not be counted toward, the diversion requirements established
pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a) of Section
41780.

42511. The board shall assist cities and counties to divert nonyard
wood wastes which cannot otherwise feasibly be reduced, recycled, or
composted, for processing and utilization as a fuel resource,
provided that the facilities which use the nonyard wood waste as a
fuel resource have obtained any necessary permits which allow the use
of those materials as a fuel and to the extent the diversion is
consistent with the hierarchy set forth in Section 40051.
