Notification of Intent to Comply
CalRecycle is providing this optional form as a convenience to assist jurisdictions (counties, cities, a county and city, or special districts providing solid waste collection services) for purposes of submitting a notification of intent to comply to CalRecycle [see Public Resources Code (PRC) section 42652.5(c)].
A jurisdiction may submit a notification of intent to comply if it is facing continuing violations of the Short-lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Waste Reductions requirements in Title 14 California Code of Regulations (14 CCR). The written notification of intent to comply, adopted by resolution of the jurisdiction’s governing body, shall be sent to CalRecycle no later than March 1, 2022, to [email protected].
A jurisdiction shall, at minimum, include the following in its notification:
1. A description, with specificity, of the continuing violations.
2. A detailed explanation of the reasons, supported by documentation, why the local jurisdiction is unable to comply.
3. A description of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on compliance.
4. A description of the proposed actions the local jurisdiction will take to remedy the violations within the timelines established in 14 CCR section 18996.2 with a proposed schedule for doing so. The proposed actions shall be tailored to remedy the violations in a timely manner.
Upon approval by CalRecycle of a jurisdiction’s notification and implementation of the intent to comply, a jurisdiction may be eligible for both of the following:
1. Administrative civil penalty relief for the 2022 calendar year pursuant to PRC section 42652.5(d).
2. A corrective action plan pursuant to 14 CCR section 18996.2. a. CalRecycle may address through a corrective action plan any violations disclosed in a jurisdiction’s notification that will take more than 180 days to correct. In this situation, the proposed actions and schedule in the jurisdiction’s approved notification will be in effect until a corrective action plan is issued.
CalRecycle will respond in writing to a jurisdiction within 45 business days of receiving its notification with an approval, disapproval, request for additional information, or timeline for a decision on approval or disapproval. CalRecycle will include details about why a jurisdiction did not meet the requirements for a Notification of Intent to Comply when disapproving the jurisdiction’s notification.

2. A detailed explanation of the reasons why the jurisdiction is unable to comply, supported by documentation, if applicable.
The City has experienced some challenges in their efforts to comply with the January 1, 2022 implementation of its SB 1383 programs.
The following are some of the key influencing factors:
1) COVID-19 staffing and economic impacts (detailed below in Section 3). 2) Unanticipated and untimely loss of key solid waste/recycling staff leadership (Assistant Director departed in May 2021) impacting the planning, guidance and implementation of SB 1383 programs. The previous Assistant Director left City employment without properly handing off the SB 1383 implementation tasks, requiring remaining staff to quickly educate themselves on the regulations, status, and additional needs to bring the City into compliance. This caused a significant delay in implementation.
3) The City has not raised solid waste rates in over 12 years. An updated rate study analysis is needed, but due to the COVID pandemic and associated economic concerns, rate study analysis has not been authorized to proceed. Solid waste rates must include the costs and services associated with SB 1383 implementation, including additional costs for collection and material processing of food scraps.
3. A description of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on compliance. 1) ECONOMICS: While the overall worldwide impacts of the COVID-19 have been felt by many, the City of Fresno has been especially sensitive to the overall economic impacts on residents.
The City's focus has been on trying to help customers/residents who have experienced economic hardships as a direct result of the pandemic, including:
a) A moratorium on water shut-offs, a key instrument for collection of past-due balances. b) A moratorium on collection of delinquency fees for those unable or refusing to pay for utilities due to pandemic-related economic hardships.
With these moratoriums in place, it has not been appropriate to discuss the need for increased solid waste rates and rate analysis has not yet been authorized to proceed. 2) OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES: Health and safety challenges from the pandemic created a backlog in the provision of services due to an unexpected need to overcome technology challenges related to establishment of remote work connectivity of staff, and field staffing shortages.
a) Office staff were physically out of office for over 18 months - resulting in a complete reprioritization of objectives and a delay in service delivery. b) Many employees out sick or caring for family with COVID-related illness contributed to delays in planning and execution of activities deemed in the short-term to be non-essential. Critical to and compounding this, again, was the unanticipated and untimely loss of key staff leadership (Assistant Director).
4. Provide a description of the proposed actions the jurisdiction will take to remedy the violations with a proposed schedule for completing each action. The proposed actions shall be tailored to remedy the violations in a timely manner. See optional format below. 1) STAFFING: Hired a new Assistant Director, who started work with the City in December 2021. The City is also looking to hire a full-time staff member dedicated specifically to SB 1383 compliance activities.
2) CONSULTANTS: The City contracted with SCS Engineers for SB 1383 compliance assistance, including assessment, planning and support services. The City also plans to contract with HF&H Consultants, LLC for completion of a residential solid waste rate analysis that incorporates increased costs due to SB 1383 compliance. 3) IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE: The City has developed a timeline for SB 1383 implementation. Included in the timeline are all of the known high-level tasks to be addressed in as noted in the attached NOIC Addenda.
I hereby certify under penalty of perjury that the information provided herein is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
