Bill overview
Senate Bill 279 expands exemptions for composting activities in California, primarily benefiting agricultural operations. It increases the allowable amount of feedstock and compost that can be stored onsite, raising the limit from 100 cubic yards to 200 cubic yards for most operations and 500 cubic yards for public agencies. The bill also creates an exemption for composting agricultural materials from large-scale biomass management events, streamlining regulations for these operations and allowing for greater sales of compost.
