California Code, Public Resources Code - PRC § 41801.5

(a) If an element submitted to the board for final review includes the diversion of any solid wastes specified in subdivision (c) of Section 41781.2 for years preceding the year commencing January 1, 1990, and the board is unable to determine whether the requirements of Section 41781.2 have been met, the board shall notify the city, county, or regional agency that the diversion is excluded for purposes of calculating compliance with Section 41780. The board shall notify the city, county, or regional agency of the exclusion within 60 days from the date of receipt of the element for final review. If an element has been submitted to the board for final review prior to January 1, 1993, the board shall notify the submitting city, county, or regional agency of the exclusion on or before March 1, 1993.

(b) The notice shall be based upon a summary review undertaken solely for the purpose of determining whether the source reduction and recycling element includes any diversion of wastes excluded by Section 41781.2, and whether the element contains information sufficient for the board to determine whether the requirements of that section have been met. The summary review and notice shall be undertaken by the board concurrent with the board's review and approval, conditional approval, or disapproval of source reduction and recycling elements pursuant to Section 41800.

(c) The board shall approve or conditionally approve the source reduction and recycling element, if wastes have been excluded pursuant to Section 41781.2, if the board finds, pursuant to Section 41801, that, notwithstanding that exclusion, the element will achieve the requirements established pursuant to this part, including the diversion requirements of Section 41780.

(d) If the source reduction and recycling element is approved or conditionally approved pursuant to this section, the city, county, or regional agency shall revise the element to reflect the excluded wastes and shall submit any such revisions to the board pursuant to Section 41822.
