42648.2. (a) (1) On and after July 1, 2005, when issuing a permit
to an operator of a large venue or large event, the local agency
shall provide information to the operator on programs that can be
implemented to reduce, reuse, and recycle solid waste materials
generated at the venue or event, and provide contact information
about where solid waste materials may be donated, recycled, or
composted. This information may include, but is not limited to,
providing information directing the operator of the large venue or
large event to the board's Web site or any other appropriate Web site

large events within its jurisdiction, based upon amount of solid
waste generated, as submitted by operators of large venues and large
events pursuant to Section 42648.3. To the extent that the
information is readily available to the local agency, the information
shall include the name, location, and a brief description of the
venue or event, a brief description of the types of wastes generated,
types, and estimated amount of materials disposed and diverted, by
weight, and existing solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling

shall be reported to the board as a part of the local agency's annual
report submitted pursuant to Section 41821.
(b) On or before December 1, 2008, the board shall evaluate the
solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling rates and implementation
of waste reduction, reuse, and recycling plans in the top 10 percent

pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a). If the board, upon
reviewing the information reported to the board by local agencies
pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), determines that less
than 75 percent of the solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling
plans for the large venues and large events have been prepared or
implemented to meet their waste reduction, reuse, and recycling rates
developed pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 42648.4, according
to the schedule determined pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section
42468.4, the board shall recommend to the Legislature those statutory
changes needed to require operators of large venues and large events
to implement waste reduction, reuse, and recycling plans.
42648.3. On or before July 1, 2005, and on or before July 1

diversion programs, if any, implemented at the large venue or large
event, and the type and weight of materials diverted and disposed at
that large venue or large event. If the operator of a large venue or
large event cannot implement a program as provided in the solid waste
reduction, reuse, and recycling plan, the operator shall include a
brief explanation for the delay as part of its report to the local
agency. The operator of the large venue or large event shall submit
the requested information to the local agency, no later than one
month from the date the operator receives the request.

event, whether by an exclusive franchise with the local agency, or by
a permit, contract, or nonexclusive franchise, to determine the
solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling programs that are
appropriate for the large venue or large event. In determining
feasible solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling programs, the
operator may do any of the following:
(a) Develop solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling rates and
a solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling plan that would achieve
those solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling rates.

reduction, reuse, and recycling plan and solid waste reduction,
reuse, and recycling rates.
42648.5. The board shall provide technical assistance and tools to
