SB1383Background:
InSeptember2016,GovernorEdmundBrownJr.setmethaneemissionsreduction targetsforCalifornia(SB1383Lara,Chapter395,Statutesof2016)inastatewideeffort toreduceemissionsofshort-livedclimatepollutants(SLCP).EffectiveJanuary1,2022 thelawmandatesthatbusinessesandgovernmentsdivertorganicwasteawayfrom landfillsandinsteadusecomposting,anaerobicdigestion,andothermethodsto recycleorganicwaste.Aspartofthiseffort,thelawrequirestheprocurementof compostthatmeetscertainspecifications.
EachJurisdictioninCaliforniaisrequiredtoprocurequantitiesofRecycledOrganic WasteProducts(ROWP)basedontheirpopulation.Thepercapitaprocurementtarget equals0.08tonsoforganicwasteperresidentperyear.TheCityofFullerton’s
population,calculatedat139,431,equatestoaROWPprocurementtargetof11,154 tons.Compost,oneoffouracceptableROWPs,isvaluedatthehighest equivalent–meaningthat.58tonsofcompostisconsidered1tonofROWP.Thus,the CityofFullerton’sROWPtargetcanbecalculatedas6,469.3tonsofcompost.(11,154 tonsROWPmultipliedby.58tonsofcompost).

COMPOST PROCUREMENT & DIRECT SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT
This agreement is made by and between Grower Example (“Provider”) and Zero Foodprint (“ZFP”), who agree as follows:
1. Purpose. Provider wishes to acquire recovered organic waste product for use at Example Farm [business name] in the form of finished compost (“Compost”) on behalf of ZFP’s client agencies (“Agencies”) to assist the Agencies in complying with the requirements of regulations implementing Senate Bill 1383, California Code of Regulations, title 14, sections 18993.1 through 18993.4 (the “SB 1383 Regulations”), in exchange for reimbursement of some of Provider’s costs to acquire the Compost.
