Initial Study for the Circle Green "Green Tech" Project
Introduction
Circle Green will develop a "Green Tech Park" at the Project Location that it leases from Phelan Piñon Hills Community Services District (PPHCSD or District) pursuant to a 30-year lease, and contemplate modifications to the site required for the development of a food waste and green waste material composting facility within the District boundaries in the County of San Bernardino. The County of San Bernardino will serve as a CEQA responsible agency as the proposed poject will require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to develop the compost facility with the project site, which is designated for Agriculture use. Circle Green is an organic waste management company and provides a variety of organic recycling services from collection of organic materials, to manufacturing soil amendments and other finished recycled products. The purpose of the project is to support the need for expanded capacity for emerging state regulations requiring increased green and food waste recycling anticipated under SB 1383. The goal of the proposed project is to create a cost-effective green and food waste processing and composting facility and to manufacture high quality soil amendments for landscape, erosion control, renewable biomass products, and agricultural markets.

Notice of Public Hearing
Phelan Piñon Hills Community Services District Modification and Adjustments of Rates for Solid Waste and Recycling Services
Article XIIID of the California Constitution requires the Phelan Piñon Hills Community Services District ("PPHCSD") to send notification of a proposed rate increase to all owners and tenants of real property within PPHCSD's service area who would be directly liable to pay for solid waste and recycling services to the property at least 45 days prior to a public hearing at which adoption of the proposed rate increases will be considered. In accordance with those requirements, please be advised that PPHCSD is proposing an increase in its rates for solid wast and recycling services. This Notice identifies the amount of the proposed rate increases; the basis upon which the proposed increases were calculated; the reason for the proposed rate increase; the date, time, and location of a public hearing on the proposed rate increases; and the manner in which all persons opposed to the proposed increases may object and/or file a written protest thereto. Consequently, please be advised that this document shall serve as formal notification to you that PPHCSD's Board of Directors will hold a Public Meeting on June 5, 2019, and a Public Hearing on June 19, 2019, on the proposed rate increases described herein, at 6:00 p.m., in the Phelan Community Center located at 4128 Warbler Road, Phelan, California.
Information About the Charges
A. Basis upon which the charges were calculated. The PPHCSD Board of Directors has previously determined that the collection and disposal of refuse in its service area all be performed by CR&R Incorporated ("CR&R") under the terms of an exclusive franchise agreement. Pursuant to said contract, the maximum rates for solid waste and recycling services ("Customer Rates") may be adjusted annually to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") and any adjustments to the landfill tipping (disposal) fees. The Customer Rates and any adjustments and/or modifications thereto must be approved by adoption of Resolution by PPHCSD's Board of Directors. CR&R is requesting the rate modifications and/or adjustments set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by this reference commencing July 1, 2019.
B. Reason for the proposed increases. Government Code Section 53756 provides that agencies furnishing refuse collection services may adopt a schedule of fees or charges covering a period not exceeding five years that authorizes automatic increases that pass through inflationary adjustments as long as the schedule includes a clearly defined formula for calculating those increases. Consequently, it is proposed that the Customer Rates set forth in Exhibit A be adjusted annually effective July 1 for the years 2020-2024 as follows: (1) during the first three years, by an amount equal to the calendar year annual twelve-month change in the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the Riverside/San Bernardino/Ontario Area (December 2017=100) CUURS49ASA0. With respect to commercial services, if the tipping fee charged at the landfill or disposal site then in use is adjusted for inflation by the County of San Bernardino at any time during the five-year period from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2024, the Customer Rates set forth in Exhibit A that are thereby affected may be adjusted by a corresponding equal amount following notice given pursuant to Government Code Section 53755(a) not less than thirty days before the effective date of said adjustment.
C. Charge per parcel. PPHCSD proposes to adopt rate increases for solid waste and recycling services as described above. If you need assistance determining the charge for your property or parcel, you may contact PPHCSD by calling (760) 868-1212 or by mail to P.O. Box 294049, Phelan, CA 92329 or in person at 4176 Warbler Road, Phelan, California.
D. Written report. A written report has been prepared and filed with PPHCSD's General Manager regarding the proposed new Customer Rates. As required by California Government Code Section 66016, the written report also provides data indicating the amount of cost, or estimated cost, to provide solid waste and recycling services and the revenue sources anticipated to provide the service. A copy of the written report is available at PPHCSD's offices located at 4176 Warbler Road, Phelan, California.
