FROM: John Moss PREPARED BY: Cyndi Butterfield
Acting Utilities Director Solid Waste Coordinator
SUBJECT: Source Reduction and Recycling Element
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve in concept the Source Reduction and Recycling Element.
DISCUSSION
Purpose of the Public Hearing
Council is required to hold a public hearing to review the draft Source Reduction and
Recycling Element (SRRE). This report is to provide the Council with information
requested at the April 13, 1993 study session regarding the programs contained in the
SRRE.
Background
On April 13, 1993, a Council study session was held which provided information on planned
programs within the AB 939 Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE). A copy of
the April 13 staff report is attached (attachment 1). This report contains detailed
information on the activities and projected landfill, diversions within the SRRE program
areas. Landfill diversion projections by program are presented in chart form in the attached
Diversion Goals by Component (attachment 2).
The April 13 report also presented the program activities within a framework of regional
and local tasks. The rationale behind regional implementation of certain programs and
facilities rests on the intent to avoid program redundancy and to share costs.
At the April 13 study session, Council indicated concerns about the programs as proposed,
including:
AB 939 requirements as written in the Public Resource Code.
The costs of regional programs and staffing.
The development of a new layer of government (Joint Powers Authority) for
implementation of regional programs.

A copy of the AB 939 regulations within the Public Resources Code is attached for Council
review (attachment 3). The activities within the Code are very specific. Each of the
components within the SRRE is legislated, and each jurisdiction must describe specific
programs that show how the diversion levels will be reached.
Staff has prepared a separate report which examines the JPA as proposed and introduces
a proposal which is designed to address Council concerns about regional government,
programs and staffing.
This report, on the SRRE, is fashioned to provide additional information on the scope of
planned programs and on the City's role in regional implementation of programs and
facilities. The goal is to gain Council endorsement for the programs within the SRRE and
for the concept of City participation in local and regional activities. Conceptual approval
of the SRRE and endorsement in the concept of City participation in regional programs
does not dictate or endorse a specific mechanism for regional implementation for certain
programs. Approval of the SRRE simply recognizes the need for some form of regional
implementation.
The scope of the programs contained in the SRRE is best illustrated by the Implementation
Tables (attachment 4) that describe specific activities for each program area. The
implementation dates will be changed to reflect current timetables in the final document.
Included as attachment 5 is a listing of Local Program Re5ponsibilities within the SRRE.
This list assumes some form of regional coordination and relates how the tasks performed
by City staff will interface with regional programs. The list of responsibilities and
implementation tables are provided to demonstrate the magnitude of the programs
contained in the SRRE.
The plans within the SRRE were developed by the consulting firm Brown, Vence &
Associates (BVA). A representative of BVA will attend the May 11 public hearing and will
provide Council with in depth information about the content and scope of programs and the
costs of programs and facilities.
The estimated costs of regional programs within the SRRE and the City's share of those
costs are illustrated in chart form as attachment 6, Estimated Regional Program Costs. It
is expected that local jurisdictions can benefit from sharing the costs of these facilities and
programs that might otherwise be financially impossible.

Current Programs
Recycling programs currently provided by the City include collection and processing of
source separated materials from residential and commercial locations. Specific collection
programs include single family curbside, multi-unit residential, commercial office paper,
commercial cardboard, bar and restaurant, and industrial. To create an incentive for
participation in recycling, the City provides residential customers with a volume based rate
program. This program rewards customers who reduce their waste by taking advantage of
the recycling program.
SRRE Programs
The SRRE describes implementation of new programs and facilities to meet diversion goals.
Attachment 2, Diversion Goals by Component. provides a projection of how much material
each program is expected to divert from the wastestream. The attached SRRE Local
Program Responsibilities (attachment 5)provides an outline of City responsibilities in chart
form. The following is a brief discussion of proposed City involvement within these
additional programs which are not currently provided.
Source Reduction
The Source Reduction Component proposes that the City participate at a regional level to
produce technical, educational and promotional materials and programs that are applicable
to City needs. It also proposes that the City ensure an effective distribution system for those
materials. This model of interaction, with the City participating in the development of
effective regional programs and ensuring the programs local success, is repeated throughout
the Recycling, Composting, Special Waste, and Education and Public Information
components.
Recycling
Within the Recycling component, the City will assess the feasibility of participating in a
regional material recovery facility (MRF). This facility would process both the recyclables
separated out at home or work, and the materials that are currently landfilled (mixed
waste). If a MRF is found to be cost effective, staff will assume an active role in design,
construction and management plans to ensure that the City's best interests are met. The
City will also provide (via franchised hauler) for appropriate collection services.

Composting
The Composting component calls for a phased approach which begins with development of
a regional facility for composting yard debris and provision for collection services. The next
step is slated to include expansion of the facility and collection system to collect and process
residential and commercial food debris and unrecycled paper. City involvement, again,
includes regional interaction to develop the facility and collection system, and ongoing
monitoring to ensure that cost effective procedures are maintained.
Special Waste
The Special Waste Component describes an interjurisdictional approach to an expansion of
opportunities for collection and processing of large appliances, construction and demolition
debris, and tires.
The recycling, composting and special waste programs described above all involve
development of facilities. In many cases, funding for construction of a processing facility
(whether recycling or composting) is based on a guarantee of throughput materials. The
SRRE suggests that jurisdictions in our county may have to combine their waste streams in
order to provide the volume of material needed to make processing facilities cost effective
and eligible for loans.
Education and Public Information
The success of all of these programs rests on the development of a comprehensive education
and public information campaign directed at increasing the awareness of, and participation
in, the source reduction, recycling, composting and special waste activities and programs.
The SRRE describes active City participation in development and distribution of programs
and materials.
Each of these program areas involves specific tasks which are, again, described in more
detail in the attached Implementation Tables (attachment 4) and the SRRE Local Program
Responsibilities chart (attachment 5).

SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with additional information about AB 939
requirements, to underscore the scope of new programs, and to define the proposed roles
of the City and the regional authority in the implementation of programs. Council concerns
about the JPA as a new layer of government for implementation of regional programs is
addressed in the JPA Agenda Report. The magnitude of new programs within the SRRE
is demonstrated in attachments 4 and 6, and in the discussion of City responsibilities within
the SRRE programs. The scope of new City responsibilities within the SRRE includes
participation in program and facility development and implementation in the Source
Reduction, Recycling, Composting, Special Waste, and Education components. Regional
implementation is recommended to reduce program duplication and to take advantage of
economies of scale in construction and operation of facilities.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER:
FROM: John Moeti
PREPARED BY: Cyndi Butterfiel
Acting UDirector Solid Waste Coordinator
SUBJECT: Source Reduction and Recycling Element
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file report regarding Source Reduction and Recycling Element.
Purpose of the Stuff Session
Council is required to hold a public hearing to review the draft Source Reduction and Recycling
Element (SRRE). The public hearing is currently scheduled for May 4, 1993. Copies of the
draft SRRE have already been distributed to Council for review. This report is to provide the
Council with an overview of the City's draft SRRE and information about the proposed joint.
powers agreement for regional plan implementation.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
State law (AB 939) requires each city and county to draft documents which describe specific
solid waste management programs that will reduce the jurisdiction's waste stream by at least
25% by 1995 and 50% by 2000. The first of these documents is the preliminary draft.Source
Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE).
The SRRE was developed under a Memorandum of Agreement (MOU) among the cities and
County for the AB 939 planning process. The MOU .specifies the Council of Governments i
(COG) as the lead agency with.the COG staff acting as coordinator for the eight jurisdiction
effort. The Household Hazardous Waste Element will be the focus of a future meeting.
Mandated components of the SRRE include Source Reduction, Recycling, Composting, Special
Waste, Education and Public Information,Disposal Facility Capacity, Funding. and Integration.
The SRRE also contains the Solid Waste Generation Study which provides dataon the quantities
of waste disposed, diverted and generated by waste type and by jurisdiction. This data provides
the baseline for determining our disposal and diversion requirements.
The regional planning process produced consistent plans which dovetail.into proposed regional
program implementation. The proposed framework for regional implementation is a Joint
Powers Agreement between the eight jurisdictions. The SRRE describes plans that will require
both regional and local implementation.

least 25% by the year 1995 and 50% by the year 2000. The first of these documents is the
preliminary draft "Source Reduction and Recycling Element". The draft SRRE analyzes the
City's waste stream, examines different waste management program alternatives, selects specific
programs for implementation, and estimates program costs.
Regional Planning/SRRE Development
The City has worked on a regional basis under a memorandum of agreement to produce state
mandated plans for each city and the unincorporated county. Therefore, this document is similar
to, and consistent with, the Source Reduction and Recycling Elements for the unincorporated
county and other cities in the county. The consistency of planned programs and facilities is
intended to simplify the transition into implementation of regional programs. The Council of
Governments has been the lead agency in this effort with the Solid Waste Task Force and
Technical Advisory Committee as advisory bodies. The California Integrated Waste
Management Board has reviewed the City's SRRE and has commended our efforts on a plan that
should meet the State mandates for reduction of our waste stream.
Draft Source Reduction and.Recycling.Element
The SRRE has the following eight components (with the asterisk marking components which
describe major programs):
Source Reduction*
• Recycling*
• Composting*
• Special Waste*
• Solid Waste Facility Capacity
• Education and Public Information*
• Funding
• Integration
The SRRE is organized in three volumes. Volume 1 contains the heart of the information about
program alternatives, the evaluation process, and selected programs. Volume 2 includes
background and technical information that provides the basis for program selections. Volume
3 is the Solid Waste Generation Study (SWGS) and represents the results of a study performed
in 1990 and early 1991 by consultants. The study involved sampling waste from all three
landfills and determining the quantity of waste disposed, diverted and generated by material type
(glass, wood, paper, etc.), by generator type (residential, commercial, industrial, self-haul), and
by jurisdiction. This information provides the,baseline for determining our disposal and
diversion goals. It also provides data on the. types and quantity of materials going into the

landfill from which jurisdictions can design programs targeting materials for recovery. The data
provided in the SWGS is currently being reviewed and updated by San Luis Garbage and staff
to ensure all data is consistent with current practices. "
The programs discussed in the SRRE reflect the original demand of AB 939, that actual
diversion be quantified as recycled tons. Recent legislation has changed the focus of calculations
to quantify disposal rather than diversion. In other words, we now must document that we are
disposing 25% less than 1990 tonnages at the Iandfill rather than documenting how that same
amount is diverted by recyclers.
Documents Components
a Source Reduction - The Highest Priority
Source reduction means decreasing waste by consuming less and discarding less. It is mandated
by the State as the highest priority program.. Source reduction programs will be most efficiently
and economically developed on a regional basis. Our SRRE indicates that City staff will
participate in the development of programs and that implementation will be both regional and
local. Planned programs include technical assistance and education for, and promotion of:
• Backyard "master composting".program
• Business and local government waste evaluations/source reduction
• Countywide waste exchange
• Countywide joint purchase pools
• Environmental shopping campaign
• Public source reduction education program
• Potential regional bans on specific products and packaging
Review of planning, zoning and building codes for potential development of
incentives to encourage rehabilitation of existing structures
• Monitoring of state and federal grant programs
Targeted materials for source reduction include yard debris and food waste reduction by
backyard and regional composting, and miscellaneous materials including diapers, paper, whole
wine bottles and reusable items.
■ Recvcling
The recommended policies upon which City recycling programs are based include:
• Maintain source reduction as a primary objective
• Continue source separation programs which provide an uncontaminated, more
valuable product

MIGO C0UNGs-&. AGENDA REP&JR7'.
SRRE Study Session
April 13, 1993
Page 4
• Encourage the purchase of recycled products
• Encourage the establishment of businesses which manufacture goods from
collected recyclables
With source separation programs as,a priority, the recycling component consists of plans to
continually expand the existing source separation collection programs and sorting, or processing,
infrastructure. The focus is on expansion of special event drop off, single and multi-family
residential, commercial cardboard, office paper, bar and restaurant, and industrial collection
programs. These source separation programs are expected to contribute approximately 14% to
landfill reduction totals by 1995 if fully implemented. Salvaging at the Cold Canyon Iandfill,
which is already underway, is targeted.for support from the City.
The recycling component also calls for a phased approach to development of a mixed waste (as
opposed to source separated) processing program. The plans call for an assessment of the
feasibility of participating in a regional material recovery facility (MRF). This facility would
service the area south of the Cuesta grade and would process source separated recyclables as
well as mixed waste. Only the non-recyclable residue from this process would be landfilled.
The mixed waste recovery program is expected to contribute approximately 11% to landfill
reduction mandates by 2000.
■ Com osting
Approximately 45% of the City's waste stream has been identified as compostable organic
material. The composting component describes residential, commercial, industrial and
institutional programs. Planned implementation, as with recycling,. involves local collection
programs linked with a regional or sub-regional composting facility. As with recycling, a
phased approach is proposed to begin with collection and processing of residential yard debris.
Yard debris composting is expected to account for 7% of 1995 reduction mandates. Once the
yard debris programs are in place, the plans include work with other jurisdictions to assess the
feasibility of expanding the compost program to include food debris, agricultural materials,
unrecycled paper and municipal sewage sludge. This source separated organics composting
program is estimated to account for 21% of the mandated 50% reduction by 2000.
■ Special Wastes
Special wastes are those that require special handling due to physical characteristics or to a
potential for hazard to human health or the environment. The special waste programs targeted
in the SRRE include:
• Expansion of white goods (large appliances) collection at the landfill
I r
� A
city of San " (IS OBIspo
C®U1NGs`.. AGENDA REQ-..�1��'
SRRE Study Session
April 13, 1993
Page 5
• Construction and demolition debris (asphalt, concrete and sheetrock in particular)
collection and processing at a dedicated area close enough to the City to be accessible
to haulers
• Expansion of existing tire diversion programs
With the special waste program, the City will be involved in providing programs for compliance
with the Federal Clean Air Act regarding removal of CFCs and for disposal of white goods.
Additional City tasks include a recycling certificate program for City contractors and on-going
in-house programs for recycling of scrap metals, construction and demolition debris and tire
management. With proper implementation, thrite programs are expected to reduce
the City's total waste stream by approxi e y 191% b 995.7
■ Education
Public education is an essential part of each SRRE and is the foundation for success with any
waste management program proposed. The objectives of the education program are to increase
awareness of and participation in source reduction, recycling and composting pro, by
residents and businesses in the City.
Education and public information programs are planned to be developed on a regional level.
City staff will work with the planned regional Authority to develop appropriate education and
public information materials for source reduction, recycling, composting, and special waste
programs. Materials developed and produced on the regional level will be available for the
City's use in promoting both regional and local programs.
■ Disposal Facility Capacity
This component of the SRRE contains a review of the disposal (landfill) capacity available to
the City and a projection of disposal capacity needs for a 15 year period ending in 2005. The
Cold Canyon landfill, after expansion, is expected to meet the City's landfill needs for the next
10 to 12 years. A Countywide siting element will identify sites for additional landfill capacity
expansion.
■ Funding, Component
The Funding Component identifies the capital and annual costs associated with the selected waste
diversion programs. It also describes the current mechanisms used to fund existing solid waste
activities within the City. . Assumptions used in the descriptions of program costs and funding
mechanisms include the following:
• Multi jurisdictional program costs proportioned according to population
• No land acquisition costs are included
• The implementing entity (public or private) is, not considered

• No inflation rate is calculated
Landfill tipping fees as well as franchise fees are ultimately home by the commercial or
residential rate payer within the collection rate. Tipping fees at landfills and processing facilities
are targeted to pay for the costs of regional programs while the franchise fee and collection rates
are targeted for funding local programs and local tasks within regional programs.
o Integration
The Integration component describes how the proposed plans work together to achieve the
mandated diversion levels. This section provides an overview of programs and an integrated
implementation schedule.
Regional Implementation
As is shown in the above component summaries of the SRRE, regional implementation is
proposed for some programs and facilities. The intent is to avoid program duplication and to
cooperate in the costs of major programs and facilities. The Task Force and the COG have
recommended that regional programs be governed by an Integrated Waste Management
Authority, a body made with the same regional representation as the COG. It will be
administered by a solid waste manager. Under this proposal, the Authority will develop and
implement regional programs and facilities, including source reduction, education and public
information, and composting and materials processing facilities.
Each of the major program areas-(source reduction, recycling, composting, special wastes, and
education and public information) contain regional and local responsibilities. For example, the
SRRE calls for City staff to participate in the development of educational materials and to
disseminate materials locally. Also, existing collection programs including curbside residential,
multi-unit residential, commercial, bar and restaurant, and office programs remain a local
responsibility in the SRRE. The proposed regional authority will, with input from jurisdictions,
develop and be responsible for the operation of composting and processing facilities.
Joint Powers Authority
Formation of the regional.authority is proposed to be through a joint powers agreement with the
County and the cities of the county. The Task Force has recommended the JPA after a review
of options including the formation of a district and the designation of a lead agency. Rationale
for this recommendation includes:
• The JPA provides for direct participation by all jurisdictions (cities and the
unincorporated county) via the COG-like structure.
11QJVK1city of San I11IS OBISPO
COUNCvxo. AGENDA REQ-. SRT
SRRE Study Session
April 13, 1993
Page 7
• A new district would require an election and create an entity that would be
independent of jurisdictions.
• Designation of a lead agency would not provide for direct participation and
control by affected jurisdictions.
The JPA will establish an Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA). The powers of this
Authority include those that each member can exercise separately. Flow control, the power to
direct the flow of waste and recyclable materials to specific facilities, remains with each
individual agency within the JPA. However, as regional processing facilities are developed,
jurisdictions may be required to direct their flow to those facilities as a condition of
participation. Funding for the IWMA is proposed to be provided by tipping fees at landfills,
and composting and processing facilities. A draft JPA has been developed by COG and is
currently circulating among jurisdiction staff for review and comment.
SUND4ARY
Development and adoption of the SRRE is a first significant step in compliance with the
requirements of AB 939. As stated earlier, staff will be returning to Council for a public
hearing on the SRRE on May 4, 1993, and again for adoption of the SRRE following County
certification of the EIR for the SRRE currently being prepared.
The Source Reduction and Recycling Element produced in regional cooperation contains plans
for local and regional implementation and describes the.interface between local and regional
responsibilities. The City has demonstrated a proactive approach to recycling by developing
successful residential and commercial collection systems. These collection systems will continue
to be the responsibility of the City, while education and public information programs and future
major processing facilities are proposed to be developed and administered by the regional
Integrated Waste Management Authority. The JPA provides an organizational structure by
which regional programs and facilities can be developed with active participation by City
representatives.
