Subject: Failure to Adhere to Schedule and Program of Actions in Corrective Action Plan 1205.SLCP.CAP.2023.3
Michelle Duron:
On March 28, 2023, the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery’s (CalRecycle) Jurisdiction and Agency Compliance and Enforcement Branch (JACE) approved Corrective Action Plan 1205.SLCP.CAP.2023.3 (CAP) for the City of Fullerton (Jurisdiction). Subsequently, on the dates of June 28, 2023, November 1, 2023, February 7, 2024, and February 21, 2025, JACE approved addendums to the CAP that modified the timeline and task requirements, pursuant to Section 4.5 of the CAP (see Attachment). No further addendums will be considered for the duration of this CAP.
The final compliance date is July 1, 2027.
During JACE’s monitoring of the implementation of the CAP, JACE found that the Jurisdiction did not meet the task completion date for negotiating with the selected proposer(s) by April 1, 2026. In accordance with Section 3.l. of the CAP, failure to implement programs identified in the CAP may result in CalRecycle’s revocation of the CAP and CalRecycle could begin the process for the imposing of administrative civil penalties. These penalties are described in Section 5 of the CAP and may be up to $10,000 per violation per day.
CalRecycle asks to meet with the Jurisdiction in July 2026 to discuss issues contributing to the missed milestone. Your JACE representative will be in contact to schedule the meeting.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your JACE representative Amanda Jacobsen at [email protected] or (916) 445-9414.
