Master Plan (1981) promotes the recovery of materials and energy from
solid waste; and

approved by the cities and recognizes that in the mid to long range

of San Bernardino with grant funds to conduct a two-phase investigation

electricity; and

indicate a wate-to-energy project may be economically feasible; and
WHEREAS, the next stop to bring a waste-to-energy project to
fruition is to proceed with Phase II of the investigation - the solicitation
of proposals from private industry; and
WHEREAS, the successful implementation of a waste-to-energy
project requires an indication of support from the City of Rancho
Cucamonga and other Municipalities in the West Valley of San Bernardino
County.
