The recommended penalty fee would be twice the established <br /> fee for regular mixed solid waste. With the 1993-94 mixed solid waste <br /> fee set at $25/ton, the penalty fee would be $50/ton. Staffs of the <br /> three jurisdictions have met and agreed upon a reasonable tolerance <br /> level that would be permissible. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the <br /> establishment of a penalty fee set at twice the established tipping fee <br /> for mixed solid waste to be imposed upon loads delivered to the Orange <br /> Regional Landfill that contain prohibited yard wastes. <br />
