Draft 14. Subregional Planning Element Solid Waste The solid waste management system in Alameda County includes the collecting, processing, and disposing of solid waste materials. Alameda County adopted the Alameda County Integrated Waste Management Plan,S with a goal to reduce solid waste throughout the county, including within the Tri- Valley area. Programs to reduce the supply of waste and to xerycle materials are increasingly important to reduce the need to expand landfills. See the Solid Waste discussion in the Public Facilities and Community Programs Element. Open Space, Recreation, and Trails Non-urbanized land uses in the Tri Valley include agriculture (mostly grazing, with some irrigated cultivation), publicly-owned regional parks and watershed lands, and special natural resource land uses such as sand-and-gravel quarries and wizdfarms. Other open-space areas of subregional importance include environmentally sensitive lands, such as critical habitat and scenic viewsheds, and lands constrained by potentially hazardous conditions such as steep topography, landslides, and flooding and earthquake fault zones. The East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) owns and/or manages , acres in the Tri-Valley area, including the Ohlone and Sunol wilderness areas, Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park, and Shadow Cliffs Recreation Axea. The San Francisco Water Department owns additional watershed land, some of which overlaps with the Ohlone and Sunol wilderness areas south of Pleasanton. The Txi-Valley contains a total of approximately acres of regional scale open space and watershed lands. A regional trail system currently connects some of the Tri-Valley park and open space areas. The East Bay Regional Park District Master Plan 1997 and the 2001 City of Livermore Bikeways and Trail Master Plan, the 2006 Zone 7 Sttram Management Master Plan, and City of Pleasanton Community Trails Master Plan, updated in 2002, propose additional connecting trails to complete the Tri-Valley trail system. The "Iron Horse" trail, a former railroad right-of--way extending north/south through the area is an important subregional bicycle and pedestrian trail. Local polity provides that the trail through the San Ramon Valley is to be used fox non-motorized transit. In 2007, the City Council approved a temporary trail alignment for the remaining undeveloped portion of the Iron Horse Trail. This alignment extends from Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas Boulevard northwest to the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station; the East Bay Regional Parks District must now review this proposed alignment.
