STAFF REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst`
DATE: March 31, 2004 (CC Meeting of April 7, 2004)
SUBJECT:' Consider 2002 Annual Report to Integrated Waste
Management Board
SUMMARY
The Council is being provided the 2002 Annual Report for AB 939
solid waste diversion. The report uses the Adjustment Method
developed by the California Integrated Waste Management Board
(CIWMB) to calculate the diversion (recycling) rate in the City.
The result is a 2002 Annual Report showing a diversion rate of 52%
for the City of Moorpark. If approved by the CIWMB, the City will
be in compliance with AB 939 by exceeding the 50% diversion minimum
in effect for cities and counties.
The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939)
established goals to divert solid waste from landfills. Each City
and County was required to do a Solid Waste Generation Study and
implementation plans called the Source Reduction and Recycling
Element (SRRE), Household Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE), and Non -
Disposal Facility Element (NDFE). The documents were completed in
1991.
The Solid Generation Study established 1990 as a base year
from which to measure the progress achieved by the AB 939 programs
identified in the SRRE and its companion documents. Jurisdictions
had to divert 25% of their waste stream from landfills by 1995, and
50% beginning in 2000. Thereafter, 50% diversion rate must be
maintained for a jurisdiction to stay in compliance with the law.
Jurisdictions that fail to meet their diversion goals and fail to
demonstrate a good -faith effort may be fined up to $10,000 per day
by the state.

The initial Solid Waste Generation Study used 1990 statistics.
Jurisdictions relied on the best available data at that time.
"Solid Waste Generation" means solid waste disposal plus solid
waste diversion. Disposal is usually burial of trash in a sanitary
landfill. It can also be incineration. Solid waste diversion
consists of: source reduction (waste minimization, such as saving
paper with two -sided copies); recycling; re -use; composting; and
transformation (waste to energy conversion, biofuel, etc.).
Moorpark's 1990 base indicated total generation (disposal plus
diversion) of 33,215 tons. Of this total, 5,081 tons or 15.3% was
diverted according to the report. Therefore, the City of Moorpark's
starting point was a 15.3% diversion rate.
The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) was
created to implement AB 939 and draft its regulations. The CIWMB
reviews the Annual Reports of each city and county every other
year, in a biennial review process. The 2001 and 2002 Annual
Reports will be considered by the CIWMB beginning later this year.
It sometimes takes the CIWMB a year or more to get through the
Annual Reports of the 478 cities and 58 counties in the state.
Additionally, state agencies (including school and community
colleges districts) recently were required to submit Annual Reports
on diversion to the CIWMB.
Updating the diversion rate for the Annual Reports from year to
year turned out to be an unexpectedly complex task. Originally, AB
939 required cities and counties to track the increase in diversion
activities. This may sound simple enough but it grows enormously
complicated in practice. For instance, the top priority in the AB
939 hierarchy is source reduction, or not creating the waste in the
first place. This can be difficult to document. It is harder to
prove the negative; that diversion credit is due because no
disposal occurred during an activity that could have caused some
trash to be generated. Some jurisdictions documented extraordinary
diversion by finding heavy durable items (such as wood pallets)
that are sometimes thrown away, but are also often reused. A
smaller business might throw away a pallet. A major business, such
as a manufacturing or distribution firm, may reuse a single forty
pound pallet several times in a single day. If every instance of
reuse counted, pallets could quickly add tons of "diversion." The
CIWMB tends to take a very strict view on source reduction and
000109

works to balance its measurement methods. A key means of keeping
the data on diversion realistic is the CIWMB's annual Adjustment
Factors.
The CIWMB uses its Adjustment Factors each year to update a
jurisdiction's solid waste generation. The Adjustment Factors used
by the CIWMB are: population changes; employment; and taxable sales
adjusted by the Consumer Price Index. The assumption is that
changes in these factors will be reflected in overall solid waste
generation. By applying these Adjustment Factors, the solid waste
generation for a given jurisdiction can be updated each year.
With a means to calculate solid waste generation from year to year,
it was still necessary to separate the diversion from the disposal.
To accomplish this, the CIWMB developed a different methodology to
measure diversion. Instead of trying to measure and document
diversion that is difficult to trace, the CIWMB looked at the other
half of the solid waste generation equation, disposal. Since solid
waste generation equals disposal plus diversion, the CIWMB adopted
a disposal -based methodology to measure a jurisdiction's diversion.
It works like this: the base -year solid waste generation in tons is
updated using the Adjustment Factors. All disposal facilities are
required to report the jurisdiction of origin of each ton that is
disposed at a particular landfill site. Subtract the reported
disposal from the adjusted generation, and the remainder is the new
diversion number.
Annual Reports are only as good as the data. If the base year was
inaccurate, then the Adjustment Factors will produce flawed results
in subsequent years. Additionally, solid waste generation may be
affected by conditions beyond the Adjustment Factors. A sudden
change in economic activity, natural disasters, might be examples
of circumstances that may not be reflected in the Adjustment
Factors. Many jurisdictions found errors in their original
diversion estimates, including misallocation of regional data to
the jurisdiction, flawed volume -to- weight conversions, and missing
or underestimated tonnage. These errors and omissions in the base -
year generation data led Moorpark, and other cities and counties,
to conduct a new study and develop a new, more representative base
year.
Accordingly, in 2001 the Council approved a new base year study. In
February 2003, the CIWMB approved Moorpark's new 2000 base year and
it determined that Moorpark's diversion rate was 51% in 2000.

Using the state Adjustment Factors and the newly- approved 2000 base
year, Moorpark's diversion rate in the current biennial review
cycle is 52% for the year 2002. The City submitted its report

word on its final approval by the CIWMB, which as stated earlier
could take approximately twelve months.

Mulch from City medians, streetscapes, parks and
trails is used for ground cover and erosion control.
Landscape maintenance and tree trimmers under City
contract are required to reuse, mulch, compost or
otherwise divert greenwaste. An example of re -use is
the wooden bench in the lobby of Moorpark City
Hall that was constructed entirely out of lumber from
tree trimmings.
Yes
The City procurement practice is to purchase locally-
The City Adult Activity Center distributes surplus
breads and other baked goods from local
supermarkets. The City provides space and a kitchen
so that the local Food Share program can make
"meals on wheels" for local elderly and shut -in
residences.
G�en� �r ram; Yes
...,.. .
The City provides separate green waste containers to
single family residences and makes commercial yard
waste bins available to multi - family units and
commercial developments. Residents are instructed
to set out containers only as necessary. About 77% of
households set out their yard waste containers in any
given week.
Gerd �en� . Yes
With the use of locally- produced compost and
mulch, chemical pesticide and herbicide applications
are reduced. Commercial fertilizer and soil
amendment expenses, as well as water costs for
irrigation may also have been reduced due to the use
of locally - produced compost and mulch. However,
no quantitative study has been performed.

Section H - Additional Information
In 2002, the City Council approved the conversion to automated residential carts, with
significant increases in the capacity of the standard household recycling cart (single
stream) and the yard trimmings cart. Implementation began in December 2002, and was
completed by July 2003. The City Council also expanded the public information and
education program by adding extra message space on the utility bills, and establishing the
ability to include one page inserts as a separate sheet into the bills. The bulky item pickup
program was expanded to four items per year; including curbside collection of e- waste,
(electronic appliance discards).
