The term mining reclamation refers to the combined process of land treatment that minimizes water degradation, air pollution, damage to aquatic or wildlife habitat, flooding, erosion, and other adverse effects from surface mining operations, including adverse surface effects incidental to underground mines. Mined lands are reclaimed to a usable condition which is readily adaptable for alternate land uses and creates no danger to public health or safety. The process may extend to affected lands surrounding mined lands and may require backfilling, grading, resoiling, revegetation, soil compaction, stabilization, or other measures.
Public use of land for walking, hiking, skiing, riding, driving, picnicking, camping, swimming, boating, fishing, hunting or other outdoor games, or sports for which land or facilities are provided for public participation.

A “self-contained recreational vehicle” shall be a recreational vehicle with a kitchen sink, cooking appliance, refrigeration facilities, and a separate bathroom containing a water closet with a flush toilet, lavatory, and bath tub or shower. A self-contained recreational vehicle shall have adequate provisions for the sleeping, bathing, sanitation, food preparation, and eating by the number of people occupying such a self-contained recreational vehicle.
Any area or tract of land, within an area where the land use district allows recreational uses and where one or more lots are rented or leased or held out for rent or lease to owners or users of recreational vehicles for temporary occupancy.
Recyclable material is reusable material including, but not limited to, metals, glass, plastic, and paper, which are intended for reuse, remanufacture, or reconstitution for the purpose of using the altered form. Recyclable material does not include refuse or hazardous material. Recyclable material may include used motor oil collected and transported in accordance with Sections 25250.11 and 25143.2(b)(4) of the California Health and Safety Code.
A recycling center is a center for the collection and/or processing of recyclable materials. A “certified recycling facility” or “certified processor” is a recycling facility certified by the California Department of Conservation as meeting the requirements of the California Beverage Container recycling and Litter Reduction Act of 1986. A recycling facility does not include storage containers or processing activity located on the premises of a residential, commercial, or manufacturing use and used solely for the recycling of material generated by that residential property, business or manufacturer. Recycling facilities may include the following:
"Collection Facility."
A “collection facility” is a center for the acceptance, by donation, redemption, or purchase, of recyclable materials from the public. Such a facility does not use power-driven processing equipment except as provided by this Title. Collection facilities may include the following:
"Processing Facility."(1) (A) (B)
A “processing facility” is a building or enclosed space used for the collection and processing of recyclable material. Processing means the preparation of material for efficient shipment, or to an end-user’s specifications, by such means as baling, briquetting, compacting, flattening, grinding, crushing, mechanical sorting, shredding, cleaning, and remanufacturing. Processing facilities include the following:
A “light processing facility” occupies an area of under 45,000 square feet of gross collection, processing, and storage area and has up to an average of two outbound truck shipments per day. Light processing facilities are limited to baling, briquetting, crushing, compacting, grinding, shredding, and sorting of source-separated recyclable materials and repairing of reusable materials sufficient to qualify as a certified processing facility. A light processing facility shall not shred, compact, or bale ferrous metals other than food and beverage containers.
A “heavy processing facility” is any processing facility other than a light processing facility.
"Reverse Vending Machine(s)."(1)
A “reverse vending machine” is an automated mechanical device which accepts at least one or more types of empty beverage containers including, but not limited to, aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles, and cartons, and issues a cash refund or a redeemable credit slip with a value not less than the container’s redemption value as determined by the State. A reverse vending machine may sort and process containers mechanically, provided that the entire process is enclosed within the machine. In order to accept and temporarily store all three container types in a proportion commensurate with their relative redemption rates and to meet the requirements of certification as a recycling facility, multiple grouping of reverse vending machines may be necessary.
A “bulk reverse vending machine” is a reverse vending machine that is larger than 50 square feet, is designed to accept more than one container at a time, and will pay by weight instead of by container. |
"Mobile Recycling Unit."
A “mobile recycling unit” is an automobile, truck, trailer, or van licensed by the Department of Motor Vehicles which is used for the collection of recyclable materials. The term “mobile recycling center” also refers to the bins, boxes, or containers transported by trucks, vans, or trailers and used for the collection of recyclable materials.
Rehabilitation means the restoration of deteriorated structures, neighborhoods, and public facilities. It may involve repair, renovation, conversion, expansion, remodeling, reconstruction, or any combination thereof.

"Major Arterial."
A road or thoroughfare which serves through traffic movement across urban areas, subject to controlled access from properties fronting on the right-of-way; intersecting streets are subject to appropriate spacing.
"Secondary Highway."
A street serving traffic from collector streets and major highways which provides for traffic movement to and from traffic generators and attractors; the street is subject to controlled access from the properties fronting on the right-of-way; intersecting streets are subject to appropriate spacing.
"Major Highway."
