Section 42648.2.

(a) (1) On and after July 1, 2005, when issuing a permit to an operator of a large venue or large event, the local agency shall provide information to the operator on programs that can be implemented to reduce, reuse, and recycle solid waste materials generated at the venue or event, and provide contact information about where solid waste materials may be donated, recycled, or composted. This information may include, but is not limited to, providing information directing the operator of the large venue or large event to the board's Web site or any other appropriate Web site included by the local agency, direct mailings, brochures, or other relevant literature.

(2) On or before August 1, 2006, and annually thereafter until August 1, 2008, each local agency shall provide the board with an estimate and description of the top 10 percent of large venues and large events within its jurisdiction, based upon amount of solid waste generated, as submitted by operators of large venues and large events pursuant to Section 42648.3. To the extent that the information is readily available to the local agency, the information shall include the name, location, and a brief description of the venue or event, a brief description of the types of wastes generated, types, and estimated amount of materials disposed and diverted, by weight, and existing solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling programs that the operator of the large venue or large event utilizes to reduce, reuse, and recycle the solid waste. This information shall be reported to the board as a part of the local agency's annual report submitted pursuant to Section 41821.

(b) On or before December 1, 2008, the board shall evaluate the solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling rates and implementation of waste reduction, reuse, and recycling plans in the top 10 percent of large venues and large events as reported by each local agency pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a). If the board, upon reviewing the information reported to the board by local agencies pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), determines that less than 75 percent of the solid waste reduction, reuse, and recycling plans for the large venues and large events have been prepared or implemented to meet their waste reduction, reuse, and recycling rates developed pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 42648.4, according to the schedule determined pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 42468.4, the board shall recommend to the Legislature those statutory changes needed to require operators of large venues and large events to implement waste reduction, reuse, and recycling plans.
