Pursuant to Rule 207, Section 6.9, the Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) solicits written comments to the preliminary decision to approve the issuance of Authority to Construct (ATC) GNR-018471 to the Monterey Regional Waste Management District dba ReGen Monterey (MRWMD or ReGen Monterey) for the conversion of the existing windrow composting operations to a covered aerated static pile (CASP) operation located at the Monterey Peninsula Landfill at 14201 Del Monte Blvd in Monterey County.

MBARD Rule 207 Review or New of Modified Sources (NSR) shall apply to all new stationary sources and all modifications to existing stationary sources which, after construction or modification, emit or have the potential to emit any affected pollutants. The proposed modification for the conversion of the existing windrow composting operations to a CASP operation is subject to NSR.

The facility-wide nitrogen oxides, (NOx), volatile organic compound (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter with diameters of 10 micrometers or smaller (PM10) emissions are greater than or equal to the offset threshold limits listed for Sections 4.2 and 5.3. As demonstrated in MBARD’s Evaluation Report, the conversion of the existing windrow composting operations to a CASP operation meets the requirements of Part 4 and Part 5 of Rule 207. Hence, MBARD’s preliminary decision to approve the project being proposed because the facility has the capability of complying with all applicable MBARD rules and regulations.

The public has an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed project within a 30-day public review period. Anyone wishing to comment on the proposed issuance of this ATC should submit their commentby January 16, 2026 either by email to Armando Jimenez ajimenez@mbard.org or by mail to the address below:

All comments received during this 30-day period will be reviewed and considered by MBARD staff before a final decision is made.
