ADC means Board-approved alternative daily cover materials other than soil used as a temporary overlay on an exposed landfill face. Note: The reported ADC tonnage may include some amounts used for other beneficial uses, due to variability in local reporting systems.

* Per Chapter 993, Statutes of 2002 (Chavez, AB 2308), Beginning in 2001 and ending January 1, 2005, disposal and ADC figures do not include waste sent to three Integrated Waste Management Board-permitted inert mine-reclamation facilities located in Los Angeles County.
