Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Community Development Department
Community Facilities District 2005-1, Annexation No. 18
Levy of Special Taxes Authorization
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt on second reading, by title only, the Draft Ordinance, authorizing the levy
of special taxes in Community Facilities District 2005-1 for certain annexation territory
identified as Annexation No. 18.
DISCUSSION:
This action consists of authorizing the levy of special taxes in Community Facilities District
2005-1 to a newly annexed area known as the Annex Residential Development
(Annexation No. 18). This is a second reading of the proposed Ordinance and is required
to formalize the annexation.
On February 12, 2019, the City Council held a public hearing on annexing the territory
identified as Annexation No. 18 into the City’s Community Facilities District (CFD) 2005-1.
After the close of the public hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-007,
on a 5-0 vote, authorizing the annexation. A landowner election was held, and the
owner elected to authorize a special CFD tax and approved the annexation. The
Council then introduced a Draft Ordinance, for first reading, on a 5-0 vote, authorizing
the levy of a CFD fee to all future property own ers residing in Annexation No. 18
territory.
The Special Tax levied against Single-Family Residential parcels for Fiscal Year 2018-
2019 was $648.08 per parcel, which is subject to an annual escalator to pay for the
service expansion needed to serve these additio nal residential units. The money
collected can only be used to fund new public services authorized to be funded by the
State Mello-Roos Act and identified within the Rate and Method of Apportionment, and
cannot be used to support existing services. Adoptio n of this Ordinance, on second
reading, will complete the CFD process and allow for the Final Map to be recorded.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – City Manager’s Office
AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR PROCESSING COMMINGLED
RECYCLABLES AND ORGANIC WASTE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2014-029 with North San Luis
Obispo County Recycling (NSLOCR) to increase the tipping fees charged for
residential comingled recyclables loads, commercial commingled recyclables
loads and greenwaste loads collected in the City.
2. Approve the staff recommendation for the distribution of increased fees amongst
Atascadero Waste Alternatives Rate Payers.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF:
Solid waste collection, recycling, and landfill disposal within the City of Atascadero are
currently provided through agreements with three separate companies, namely:
1. Atascadero Waste Alternatives (AWA) provides solid waste collection for
the City.
2. North San Luis Obispo County Recycling, Inc. (NSLOCR) provides
processing of recycled materials and green waste.
3. Chicago Grade Landfill, Inc. (CGLF) operates the landfill disposal.
North San Luis Obispo County Recycling, Inc. is the City’s designated Materials Recycling
Facility (MRF) and all materials collected by AWA from Atascadero’s recycling program
(curbside blue bins) and greenwaste program (green bins) are required by contract to be
deposited at NSLOCR. In accordance with the various contracts, AW A pays NSLOCR a
fixed amount per ton to “tip” the materials from these programs at NSLOCR. NSLOCR
will then process the greenwaste materials into saleable products such as mulch and
wood chips and sort the recycling material into its various components (s uch as paper,
card board, glass by color, various plastic categories, aluminum, etc.). NSLOCR has
Page 32 of 57
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/26/19
then historically sold these sorted recyclable materials, deriving the bulk of its operational
revenues from the sales of these materials.
The export of recyclable materials is a key component of California's recycling
infrastructure. Recent changes to international policies restricting foreign imports of
recyclable materials, coupled with the need to reduce contamination levels in recycling
streams and a declining global market value for some recyclables, have resulted in
significant challenges for the solid waste and recycling industry, local governments, and
Californians.
Each year, California exports about a third of the recyclable material it collects.
Historically, most of that material—particularly unsorted mixed paper and mixed
plastics—went to China for processing and manufacturing into new products. With
drastically reduced market demand, due to China’s strict contamination limits and ever
increasing import bans, MRFs are being forced to stockpile material and the surplus of
materials is driving prices for recyclables to historic lows, which has impacted the ability
of operators to offset their costs with revenues generated from the sales of recyclables,
as they have done historically. As the MRF’s ability to generate revenues from the sale
of recyclable materials diminish, MRFs must look to drastically increased tipping fees in
order to stay in business.
The City’s commingled recyclables and organic waste processor, NSLOCR is no
different and has requested a significant rate adjustment to absorb the additional
recycling costs. The proposed rate adjustments is charged by NSLOCR to Atascadero
Waste Alternatives (AWA) the City’s franchised waste hauler. The rate adjustment to
NSLOCR is a pass through rate for AWA and would be reflected on the customers trash
bill from AWA. The proposal would result in an estimated adjustment in the standard
monthly residential service rate for a 32 gallon cart from $22.41 to $26.49 ($4.08
increase per month). The rate for a standard three-cubic yard commercial bin for
recycling service is estimated to change from $161.90 to $171.80 ($9.90 increase per
month). Proposed rates are provided in Attachment #3.
DISCUSSION:
Background/Analysis
Markets
China processed over 60 percent of California’s recyclables in 2016 and U.S. MRFs and
recyclers have historically relied on demand from the Chinese market to sustain
operations. In July 2017, the Chinese government filed a notification with the World
Trade Organization (WTO) of its intent to ban certain recyclable materials through a
national policy known as “National Sword”. The policy limits imports of recyclable
commodities to China, imposes strict contamination limits on recyclables and increases
inspections. The policy took effect January 1, 2018, with a follow up enforcement policy
dubbed “Blue Sky 2018”, taking effect March 1, 2018. In July 2018, the Chinese
Government declared its intent to implement a full recyclable ban by 2020. Since China
is the world’s top destination for recyclables, this policy change in the Chinese import
Page 33 of 57
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/26/19
market is having a profound impact on the global recycling industry, causing disruption
in processing the flow of recyclable materials. The National Sword policy effectively
bans certain materials and imposes a strict 0.5 percent contamination limit for other
recyclable materials (up to 10 percent contamination was previously acceptable). For
United States recyclable exports, the immediate impact is on mixed paper and plastics.
Meeting the contamination limits has increased operational costs for Material Recovery
Facilities (MRFs), and locating alternative markets for recyclables has been challenging
for haulers and MRF’s statewide. This has especially impacted the City’s contract
commingled recyclables and organic waste processor, NSLOCR.
Many of the State’s solid waste diversion targets were developed around longstanding
import/export practices and the flow of these materials. Domestic recycling markets are
currently not developed enough to absorb the material historically shipped to China, and
expanding domestic markets and infrastructure will take many years. Under new market
conditions, some MRFs and recyclers have been forced to landfill recyclable materials to
control costs. The City has opted to avoid this practice which has negative societal and
environmental impacts, and would compromise the City’s ability to maintain compliance
with State diversion requirements.
The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is
closely monitoring the impacts of the National Sword policy issued a statement
recognizing the challenges this policy imposes on jurisdictions, MRFs, and waste haulers
(Attachment #2). It has indicated that it will consider market conditions when assessing
whether a jurisdiction is incompliance with State waste diversion mandates; however, it
is anticipated that it will be incumbent upon all jurisdictions to make good faith efforts to
reach State diversion rates.
Tipping
The tipping fees charged by NSLOCR were last approved by City Council on
December 9, 2014, when the contract with NSLOCR was approved. Tipping fees are
fees charged to a waste hauler to “tip” or off -load the materials collected from the City’s
recycling program (curbside blue bins, etc.) and the City’s greenwaste program (green
bins). NSLOCR charges AWA a set price per ton of $7 for the recycling program and a
set price of $27 per ton for the greenwaste program. These fees are then passed
through to the customer as part of the solid waste rates charged by AWA.
Just under 5,000 tons of Atascadero commingled recycling are tipped annually at
NSLOCR by AWA. Of this, approximately 80% is from the City’s residential curbside
program, with the remaining 20% from the City’s commercial recycling program. An
additional 5,500 tons are received by NSLOCR annually from the City’s greenwaste
program.
Contamination
Since 2014, there have been changes in the composition of the recycling materials
tipped at NSLOCR. The items tipped at NSLOCR include everything that has been
placed in a blue bin or other recycling container and picked up by AWA. Some of the
materials placed in these blue bins are actually recyclable and others are not. Those
items that are not recyclable, but collected as part of the recycling program are called
Page 34 of 57
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/26/19
“residuals” or “contamination”. The current 2014 contract with NSLOCR requires that
the residuals/contamination not exceed 10% of the amounts tipped as part of the
recycling program. Unfortunately, current contamination levels are estimated to be
around 22%-25%, well out of the contamination level called for in the contract.
There are several reasons for the increased contamination including:
Wishful recycling: These are items that are put in the recycling container because
the customer believes that the item is recyclable (ie, plastic bags, various
non-recyclable plastics, etc.).
Willful contamination: The customer has run out of room in the garbage cart and
thus throws any excess garbage into the recycling bin rather than hold the trash
until the following week, or obtain a larger trash container.
Changes in the Recyclable Market: Some things that once may have been
considered recyclable, no longer are desired in the market for recyclable
materials and are now considered residual or contamination.
Contamination and the increased level of contamination have caused the following:
Increased labor costs and slowing down of the sorting line in order to sort out the
increased contamination in the materials tipped.
Increased costs to bring the residual materials to the landfill.
Increased sorting line maintenance and downtime as items such as plastic bags,
hoses, and string jam the equipment.
The City exceeds the contamination rates allowed under its agreement with
NSLOCR.
The increased contamination rates are not unique to Atascadero, but there are steps
that AWA and the City can take to reduce the likelihood of contamination and to eliminate
“incentives” that increase contamination. The City has been working with NSLOCR and
AWA for over a year now on potential programs to reduce contamination of the recycling
program and to adjust tipping fees in accordance with contract provisions.
Proposed Contract Amendments
While it was hoped that the market for recyclable materials would re-bound, it has
become clear that the downturn in the recycle market is not reversing itself soon. In
January 2019, NSLOCR was forced to notify the City that it would no longer be able to
accept its recycling materials effective February 15, 2019, unless the City significantly
increased the tipping fees paid to NSLOCR by AWA. The City was able to work with
NSLOCR to extend the deadline to March 1, 2019, but if an agreement for increased
tipping fees is not reached by that date, NSLOCR will no longer accept materials from
Atascadero’s recycling, greenwaste or food waste programs.
Based on discussions with NSLOCR a draft amendment to the existing agreement is
proposed and contains the following items:
Residential Recycling Program:
o $75 per ton tipping fee for all materials received from the residential
recycling program
o Contamination rate not to exceed 25%
Page 35 of 57
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/26/19
Commercial Recycling Program:
o $50 per ton tipping fee for all materials received from the commercial
recycling program
o Contamination rate not to exceed 10%
Greenwaste Program:
o $35 per ton tipping fee for all materials received from the commercial
recycling program
o Contamination rate not to exceed 1%
Other:
o New rates effective March 1, 2019
o Term through December 31, 2020
o CPI rate increase effective January 1, 2020
o Additional rate increase effective March 1, 2020. Rate increase is based
on a formula that calculates the change in the market costs for mixed paper
and for cardboard (OCC). These changes are then applied to the tons of
these commodities received and then divided by the total tons tipped to
arrive at the increase in tipping fees.
o Ability for the City to terminate the contract effective February 29, 2020 if
the new rate per the formula is not acceptable to the City.
o Allows NSLOCR to dispose of residuals at the landfill of its choice, rather
than limiting them to Chicago Grade Landfill. If they dispose of the residuals
at a landfill outside of the County, they will still be required to pay the IWMA
fees.
o Extends the hours NSLOCR is available to receive materials to 4:00 pm
(previously 3:00pm)
o Minor clerical changes
The proposed substantial increase (about 10 times the current rate for the recycling
program) in tipping fees is daunting, but not necessarily unique. Other local jurisdictions
are also seeing substantial implemented and proposed increases to their MRF tipping
fees. Rates, services and contract terms vary by city and hauler, so a like -for-like
comparison is not possible. In addition, some cities have incorporated annual CPI
adjustments and other provisions concurrently, but it is anticipated that all of the
agencies in the County have, or will have to implement residential and commercial rate
adjustments to help offset increased costs from the National Sword policy.
MRFs and recycling processors in the vicinity (Cold Canyon Landfill- full scale MRF and
landfill operating in South San Luis Obispo ; Buckeye Processing- Material pre-sorting
and transfer facility in North Paso Robles; and Waste Management- Current waste
hauler that operates several MRFs in the state including a facility in Santa Maria) were
contacted to determine if they would be able to process the City’s recycling materials
beginning March 1st, and what the price would be to process that material. When
factoring in the costs of transporting the materials to a facility some distance away fro m
Atascadero the total cost per ton included in the short-term proposals by the other MRFs
exceeded the new cost proposed by NSLOCR making NSLOCR the most cost effective
method of processing the materials from the City’s recycling program. Greenwaste rates
from NSLOCR are also the most cost effective.

While the markets may change and allowing the other MRFs additional time to come up
with long-term transportation strategies may result in proposals that are more
competitive, for the current year, the rates proposed by NSLOCR are the most cost
effective method of processing the materials from the City’s recycling and green waste
programs and meeting the State diversion requirements.
Customer Rates
What does this substantial increase to the recycling tipping rate mean to the rates paid
by Atascadero residents? All residents have the same size recycling cart, regardless
of the size of their garbage cart. In Atascadero, the majority (64%) of the residential
customers use/pay for a 32 gallon cart, compared t o Templeton and other jurisdictions
where a 60 gallon cart is the norm for a family home. Currently , it costs a customer
$15.29 a month more to have a 60 gallon garbage cart, as opposed to the 32 gallon cart.
As such, customers are incentivized to use the smaller cart. While this is good if the
customer is achieving the smaller cart through careful consumer choices and limiting
their waste; that is often not the case. Those customers with the smaller carts are much
more likely to contaminate the recycling either through willful contamination or wishful
recycling. Therefore, in discussions with various waste professionals, it is recommended
as a best practice to reduce contamination, that the cost differential between different
size garbage carts should be minimized.
Because a significant portion of the increased tipping fee is related to increased
contamination, it is recommended that the fees for the 32 gallon garbage cart be
increased a larger dollar amount than the fee for the larger garbage carts. It is proposed
that the increased recycling cost be imposed so that the dollar per month increase to 32
gallon rate be the largest, the dollar increase to the 60 gallon rate be about half of the
increase for the 32 gallon can, and the dollar increase fo r the 90 gallon garbage cart be
about half of the increase for the 60 gallon cart.
Based on this proposal, it is estimated the monthly rate increase due to increased
recycling tipping fees would be as follows under this allocation method (Attachment 3):
Garbage
Can Size
# of
customers
Recycling
Increase
10% Franchise
Fee Increase
Total

Recycling
Increase
32 gallon 5281 3.32$ 0.33$ 3.65$
60 gallon 2095 1.66$ 0.17$ 1.83$
90 gallon 839 0.83$ 0.08$ 0.91$
These figures are currently being verified by AWA and are subject to modification. The
final numbers will be presented prior to any motion by the City Council on this item.
In the alternative, if the increase is instead distributed evenly amongst all Atascadero
garbage rate payers, each residential rate payer would see an approximate $2.90 monthly
increase in their garbage collection fee for the recycling program (Attachment 4).
Page 37 of 57
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 02/26/19
It is recommended that the increase in tipping fees for the greenwaste cans should be
equally distributed amongst each customer since the processor does not typically see
the “willful contamination” in the greenwaste carts that we have seen in the recycling
carts. The effects of the increase in greenwaste tipping fees will be approximately $0.43
per month for each customer.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Council may reject the amendment terminating the contract with NSLOCR and
requiring AWA to secure processing of recyclables and organics waste.
2. Council may approve the amendment and direct staff to advise AWA to spread the
proposed rate adjustment equally amongst all residential rate payers .
FISCAL IMPACT:
The tipping fee increase is a pass through rate to the customer, charged to Atascadero
Waste Alternatives by North San Luis Obispo County Recycling. Increases are estimated
to range between $1.34 and $4.08 per month per residential customer. While this is a
pass through from NSLOCR to AWA, the City receives 10% franchise fees from AWA to
recover costs and administer the various contracts. The City will receive franchise fees
on the increased amounts paid by customers.

Email to Recycling Coordinators
January 16, 2018
To: Recycling Coordinators
Last year, China announced a new policy called National Sword that bans the import of 24 recyclable
commodities in 2018, increases enforcement, and limit s contamination levels for imported bales of plastic
and mixed paper. Since California exports an estimated 60 to 80 percent of recyclables generated in
California, this has significant implications for California's waste management system.
This letter provides information on the China's import restrictions and impacts to California's local
governments. In addition, the letter outlines examples of CalRecycle’s efforts to develop California’s
recycling markets as well as responses to the ban from cities and counties throughout the state.
China's Import Restrictions
The export of baled recyclable materials has been a key component of California's recycling
infrastructure. Currently, CalRecycle estimates that California exports a third of all recyclable material
generated in the state annually to foreign markets; of that, 62 percent goes to China. This movement of
materials has been critical in assisting the state and local jurisdictions in reaching their recycling and
diversion goals. However, recent changes to China's policies on imported recyclable materials, which set
strict new limits and contamination standards, are impacting cities and counties in California.
In 2013, China implemented Operation Green Fence, which aimed to reduce pollution by limiting the
import of contaminated recyclable commodities and increasing inspections of recyclable commodity
imports. While this initiative resulted in slightly cleaner, less contaminated imported material, it did not
meet China’s goals for restricting waste imports. In California, the Green Fence policy resulted in
backups at shipping ports and a reduction of exports to China.
In July 2017, China announced a revision to the Green Fence initiative and called the new policy National
Sword. China notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of the 24 recyclable commodities banned
from entering the country starting January 2018 (see Table 1 at end). The notice al so increased
enforcement and limited contamination rates to 0.3 percent for plastic and mixed paper. In November
2017, China revised standards to a 0.5 percent contamination rate and changed the effective date to
March 1, 2018. The National Sword policy also included restrictions in waste import licenses and more
stringent inspections of imported materials. China developed this policy to protect human health, protect
the environment, and improve domestic solid waste reuse and recovery.
Categories under the restrictions include cardboard, newspaper, mixed paper, and low-grade plastics. In
2016, California exported approximately 9 million tons of paper and 500 thousand tons of plastic to China.
The restricted materials are listed at the end of this memo.
Impacts on Jurisdictions
The pending National Sword policy has adversely affected numerous cities and counties in the United
States. Given our dependence on China as a primary consumer of our recyclable materials, their import
policies are of critical importance. Recycling facilities throughout the United States are doing what they
can to reduce contamination by slowing down their processing lines, hiring more employees to sort
materials, and investing in new equipment and machinery to ensure higher quality materials. Recycling and solid waste facilities are experiencing challenges with moving materials to markets, thus resulting in

the storage of processed materials on site. In some cases, facilities are landfilling recyclable materials
instead of processing them for recycling.
What can be done?
Waste Prevention
Efforts to eliminate the generation of waste before it enters the waste stream are a key component of a
waste management approach. In addition to reducing costs and conserving resources, waste prevention
has the potential to reduce reliance on foreign markets, as there is no need to export what California has
not generated. Waste prevention activities can range from reusing transport packaging (such as cardboard boxes and plastic film) to avoiding single-use carryout containers.
Examples of what some cities and counties are doing to foster waste prevention include:
• Banning single -use plastic bags.
• Banning polystyrene and other non -recyclable plastic food packaging.
• Installing water systems to encourage reusable beverage containers.
• Promoting reuse or repurposing of materials through incentives or other programs.
• Procuring products that use less packaging.
Collection and Contamination
China's ongoing efforts to limit the amount of contamination in material imports–dating back to the 2013
"Green Fence"—highlight the need for recyclers to produce high-quality material. This means making a
concerted effort to reduce contamination in the recycling stream. It is critical to educate businesses and
residents regarding the need to generate high -quality recyclable material. Cities and counties are
addressing contamination in the following ways:
• Providing new educational material in 2018. T o reduce contamination, new flyers will be more
specific as to what materials residents and businesses can place in recycling containers, instead
of telling them, "When in doubt, recycle."
• Revisiting what materials are recyclable and acceptable through collection programs, resulting in
modifying and updating educational materials to reflect clearly what is acceptable as recyclable materials accordingly.
• Educating collection drivers to recognize contamination and investing in on-board cameras to
assist with identification.
• Implementing or increasing "tagging" or notification for customers regarding unwanted materials in recycling receptacles.
• Establishing a penalty process on generators for contamination to encourage proper material
management.
• Establishing single-commodity collection programs when and where appropriate; e.g., white
paper for office buildings, separate food waste collection to reduce paper contamination, and
color-sorted glass at a restaurant.
• Applying a variable container rate system that matches recycling containers to amounts
generated so residents and businesses do not place excess garbage in a recycling cart.
Processing
Implementing new practices or modifying existing procedures to improve the processing of materials after
they are collected will also create higher quality recyclable materials. Examples of what some cities and
counties are doing to produce cleaner bales of recyclables include:

• Increas ing the processing of recyclables to remove contaminants. This can be in the form of
slowing down the sorting lines at the material recovery facility, hiring more sorters, running
recyclables across the sorting lines more than one time, and so on.
• Breaking apart and examining finished bales to determine which materials were inappropriately
included in the bales to prompt calibration of sorting equipment and education for line sorters.
• Reducing what material types are recycl ed through collection programs.
• Working with local enforcement officials to allow safe stockpiling of materials until facility
operators can find new markets , which can reduce landfilling of recyclable materials.
• Sorting higher value materials multiple times.
State Assistance
A more robust recycling processing infrastructure in California could help reduce transportation costs and
uncertainty related to availability in foreign markets. Although the state has limited resources and
authority to address the adverse impacts of the National Sword policy, the s tate offers programs to
support recycling manufacturing. CalRecycle provides funding through its greenhouse gas (GHG ) grant
and loan programs and Recycling Market Development Zone loan program. The intent of these funding
programs is to help California recycling manufacturers increase their processing capabilities and create additional markets for recycled-content products.
These funding programs have supported the expansion of California recycling manufacturing. Funded
projects include mattress repair and refurbishing, edible food recovery projects combined with anaerobic
digestion and/or composting, recycling plastic into new products, and so on. See
CalRecycle's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Grant and Loan Programs webpage for more
information. However, to date this funding has been relatively small and unpredictable. CalRecycle
estimates that California needs at least $2-3 billion in infrastructure development . W hile most of this will
have to come from the private sector, many are looking to the state to make substantial investments to
stimulate further private sector investment.
CalRecycle also works closely with the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-
Biz) to assist manufacturers that want to site or expand their operations in the state. In addition to
CalRecycle's funding programs there are a lo t of other programs, such as the California Competes tax
credit. GO-Biz also provides no cost site selection services.
To close the recycling loop completely, California would need significant growth in the purchasing of
recycled content products. One mandate that CalRecycle has promoted to help drive in-state markets is
the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC), which requires state agencies to purchase
recycled-content products. SABRC and related programs will be key to assisting CalRecycle in achieving
its 75 percent statewide recycling goal and developing California's recycled-content manufacturing
infrastructure.
Next Steps:
CalRecycle continues to monitor the evolving impacts of China's proposed policy on California and serve
as a clearinghouse for this information. This includes coordinating with local enforcement agencies on
permit conditions and with jurisdictions to share examples of local actions. In addition, CalRecycle will
continue its ongoing efforts to develop a statewide policy for packaging materials management and to
complete regulations surrounding the management of organic waste under SB 1383.
CalRecycle will be presenting on these impacts at the January 23 monthly public meeting.

In light of recent changes to China’s import policies, I’m writing to share an update on
California’s recycling markets, answer questions regarding jurisdiction compliance, emphasize
the importance of health and safety at solid waste facilities, and discuss what lies ahead.
On May 4th, China stopped accepting any imports of recyclable materials from the United States
for one month. This decision follows China’s i mplementation of its National Sword policy on
March 1 st, banning the imports of 24 categories of scrap materials including low grade plastics
and unsorted mixed paper, and setting strict contamination standards for allowable bales of
recyclable material. The exporting of recyclable commodities to China, primarily our traditional
curbside materials, has historically been a key component of California’s recycling
infrastructure. Approximately two thirds of curbside collected material is exported to foreign
markets. In 2016, 62 percent of the exported recyclable materials were sent to China. However,
China’s implementation of National Sword is a major disruption in recycling commodities
markets, a signal that California can no longer be primarily reliant on exports to manage our
recyclable materials.
These new policies provide California with an opportunity to take a couple of important steps:
first, to reduce our waste, and second, to work together to build infrastructure and domestic
markets to successfully and responsibly manage our recyclable materials. Each of these will
take investment and collaboration across state and local governments, the solid waste industry,
manufacturers, and rate-payers. These are critical steps to improve the environment and
economy here in California and beyond, although they will take time.
We’re already witnessing the effect of China’s new policy. Material flow is significantly disrupted
and the economics of recycling are unfavorable for many recyclable commodities, cha llenging
what recycling means to Californians.
This letter is intended to address concerns I have been hearing from local governments and
industry about the impacts of China’s import policies. I would like to reassure local governments
that we have existing statutory policies to address the impact of markets when determining
whether or not a jurisdiction has made a good faith effort to implement its diversion programs for
compliance with AB 939. I am aware that facilities are having a hard time moving recyclable
materials and are keeping them on site in significant quantities. If facilities are temporarily
storing materials for longer periods, public health and safety should be their number one priority.
Finally, looking toward the long -term, we will need more domestic infrastructure to manufacture
products using California's recycled content feedstock. This valuable infrastructure will not only
support the domestic recyclable commodities market but also support SB 1383’s goal to reduce
disposal of organic waste by 75 percent.

Let me expand on these points.
Considering Market Factors When Evaluating Jurisdiction Performance
Given shifting markets for recyclable commodities, it is important to clarify that CalRecycle takes
market conditions into consideration when evaluating a jurisdiction’s compliance with the
following state recycling laws; AB 939, mandatory commercial recycling, and mandatory
organics recycling. I have heard many stakeholders express concerns that CalRecycle will not
take market factors – e.g., the precipitous drop in ability to get collected materials to market at
an adequate price or even at all – into consideration when we evaluate jurisdiction programs.
Jurisdictions are concerned that this could lead to potential penalties for situations that
jurisdictions cannot control. This is not what statute dictates. Specifically, under existing
statute, regulations, and policy, CalRecycle already takes market conditions into consideration
when determining “good faith effort” in evaluating each jurisdiction’s program implementation.
CalRecycle recognizes that over the short term, lack of markets is not indicative of a
jurisdiction’s efforts to implement its programs fully. Additionally, a jurisdiction’s achievement of
its 50 percent requirement is not determinative for assessing compliance. Instead, CalRecycle’s
jurisdictional review focuses on program implementation and includes the assessment of
barriers a jurisdiction is facing, including a lack of markets.
The following is an overview of the applicable statutes, regulations, and policies utilized when
evaluating a jurisdiction’s performance. I am providing you with this level of detail because it is
descriptive of how we have reviewed jurisdiction program implementation in the past and how
we will continue to do so in light of National Sword.
California Public Resources Code 41825(e)(3) establishes that CalRecycle must consider the
enforcement criteria included in its enforcement policy, known as the Countywide Integrated
Waste Management Plan (CIWMP) Enforcement Policy Part II. This is the guiding process for
determining compliance for a number of programs. CalRecycle periodically revises this policy to
incorporate the goals of new statutes, as it did for AB 341 and AB 1826. Staff uses the criteria
delineated in the policy to determine the extent to which a jurisdiction has implemented, or
shown a good faith effort to implement, its selected diversion programs. Staff also uses the
identified criteria to assist local jurisdictions who may need help in identifying why
implementation of diversion programs is failing to achieve the results expected, or is failing to
meet the diversion requirements. We want jurisdictions to be successful in implementing
diversion programs.
The CIWMP Enforcement Policy Part II specifically includes consideration of markets for AB 939
Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE), Mandatory Commercial Recycling (AB 341)
and Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling (AB 1826) compliance review. The following
are some of our current review processes and the factors we consider when determining if a
jurisdiction has met their diversion goals.
AB 939 review: As part of the review process, CalRecycle investigates the extent to which a
jurisdiction has tried to meet the diversion requirements through its selected diversion programs,
and the reasons it has failed to implement some or all of those diversion programs. Staff uses
the criteria in the Enforcement Policy to assess the specific conditions that may have prevented
a jurisdiction from meeting its 50 percent equivalent per capita disposal target, and whether a
good faith effort was made by the jurisdiction to meet the requirements. The analysis for a
jurisdiction that is not meeting its 50 percent target includes considering availability of markets
and specific criteria can be found here: CIWMP Enforcement Policy Part II, pages 4 and 11.
Mandatory Commercial Recycling (MCR) and Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling
(MORe) review: CalRecycle also reviews jurisdictions’ implementation of their MCR and MORe

programs. If a jurisdiction has not been able to implement a commercial recycling program that
is appropriate for the jurisdiction and meets the needs of its businesses, CalRecycle looks at a
number of factors in assessing whether the jurisdiction has made a good faith effort to
implement these programs. These factors include the impact of markets and the efforts the
jurisdiction has made to investigate local and regional marketing options and recycling
opportunities with the private sector. More specifics can be found in the CIWMP Enforcement
Policy Part II, page 22 re: MCR and 28-29 re: MORe , and PRC 42649.3(i)(5) and
42649.82(h)(6) and 14 California Code of Regulations §18839.
Health and Safety Considerations Associated with Storage
We understand that National Sword is causing back-ups and longer storage times of processed
recycled materials at solid waste facilities and recycling centers. Solid waste facility operators
can discuss potential permitting options or request a Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency to
grant a temporary waiver of storage restrictions. The waiver would allow additional amounts of
recyclables and longer timeframes to store recyclables at the solid waste site as long as the
additional storage does not create public health and safety or environmental issues. The
process for requesting and processing a temporary waiver is found in state solid waste
regulations. In addition, public health and safety is a priority at solid waste facilities and
recycling centers. Several industry sources have published best management practices for the
storage of baled recyclable materials. We’ve provided a synopsis of these practices below:
Have a Storage Management Operations Plan describing procedures for receiving,
storing, and shipping baled recyclables.
Unload baled recyclables by forklift and stack in a specific storage area in a configuration
that provides for long-term stability. If applicable, stacked bales may be overlapped or
staggered to improve the stability of the stacks. Height of the bales should be no greater
than four bales high.
The bale storage area should allow forklift operators to safely move materials and allow for
the safe loading of trailers that are picking up bales of materials.
To prevent contact with storm water, and to control vectors and nuisance, the following
may be employed:
Limit bale contact with the ground (e.g., on pallets and/or tarps)
Maintain facility cleaning, housekeeping and litter control
Remove putrescible material, if observed
Maintain heavy equipment to ensure no oil or fuel leakage occurs; clean up spills or leaks
immediately
Establish a first in/first out material handling process
Where necessary, place berms or other structures to divert storm water from coming into
contact with bales
Fire Hazard Mitigations:
Consult with your local fire district to employ fire hazard mitigations
Keep adequate heavy equipment available on-site: (e.g., front loaders, bulldozers, water
trucks, bobcats), fire hoses, dedicated fire pump and water tanks, and fire extinguishers.
Identify a maximum size of the storage area including length/width/height.
Maintain appropriate spacing between piles and the perimeter, maintain fire lanes
Inspect piles daily for potential fire hazards
Monitor pile temperatures at least once a week
Coordinate with the Local Enforcement Agency and any local or state authorities responsible for
the regulatory oversight of the facility.

resources from Waste 360 and Environmental Protection Authority, Victoria.
Reducing Waste and Increasing Domestic Infrastructure
Reducing the generation of waste before it enters the waste stream reduces costs and
conserves resources. Manufacturers, consumers, and governments all have a role to play in
reducing waste. For example, manufacturers can reduce unnecessary packaging on products,
consumers can choose to use reusable instead of single use, disposable products, and local
government can procure products with recycled content. Waste prevention has the potential to
reduce reliance on foreign markets, as there is no need to export what California has not
generated. We will continue to work with you and all stakeholders to develop waste prevention
opportunities and policies. With that said, we will continue to generate a significant amount of
materials in California. Upstream solutions will need to be paired with the development of
domestic processing and manufacturing for us to successfully manage our recyclables.
Building infrastructure to handle the materials we collect now, and the even greater amounts we
will need to collect when SB 1383 goes into effect, is a daunting long-term task that will take
years to achieve. Given the unpredictability of the marketplace, it’s even more important that
state and local governments and the private sector begin making siting and investment
decisions now to develop more domestic (California and the U.S.) infrastructure for
manufacturers using recycled content feedstock.
As CalRecycle communicated in January, we are committed to using our available resources to
help build a more robust materials processing infrastructure in California. CalRecycle currently
provides funding through its greenhouse gas (GHG) grant and loan programs and Recycling
Market Development Zone program (RMDZ), and we work closely with the Governor's Office of
Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) to assist manufacturers that want to site or
expand their operations in the state. Over the past four years, the GHG grant program has
provided $86 million in funding to 31 recycling projects and the GHG loan program has provided
$1.5 million in funding for two projects for construction, renovation, and expansion of new in-
state capacity. The RMDZ loan program has provided $145 million in funding to 192 recycling
manufacturers in the state, since inception of the RMDZ loan program in FY 1993-94. There is
increasing enthusiasm from companies interested in utilizing California’s waste stream to make
new products such as compost, biofuels, fibers and plastics. I urge you to take advantage of
these.
Another opportunity to support manufacturers using recycled content feedstock is for
jurisdictions to ensure their General Plan includes these types of facilities in their land use
element. Just last year the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR)
completed the first comprehensive update to the General Plan Guidelines (GPG) since 2003
(General Plan Guidelines Update, Completed August 2, 2017). One of the major changes
includes an expanded section addressing the need for additional recycling, anaerobic digestion,
composting, and manufacturing facilities in the land use element. This new guidance provides
examples for local jurisdictions to use when updating their General Plans. Additional
information is on the OPR General Plan Guidelines website. You can stay informed about
GPG-related information by signing up for the GPG email list.

Next Steps
CalRecycle will host a workshop in Sacramento in early June to encourage dialogue and share
information about the impacts of China’s import policies. Workshop details will be posted on our
National Sword website. We will use this convening as an opportunity to discuss changing
market dynamics, impacts on facilities, domestic capacity for processing and manufacturing
using recycled content, and to identify other short and long-term solutions to the current
recycling challenges. This is not the first time the international recycling commodities market
has faced a major disruption and it won’t be the last. California must capitalize on these
disruptions and turn them into an opportunity to strengthen our environmental resilience and our
economy. This will require us to reassess product design, materials collection, and processing
systems. I look forward to working with you to build a more sustainable recycling infrastructure
in California.
