Staff requests approval of 387 grant awards in the amount of $109,590,543 for the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program (Program) for fiscal year (FY) 2022–23.
Funding
The FY 2022–23 Budget Act allocated $180,000,000 to be used to assist local jurisdictions in the implementation of regulations adopted by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery pursuant to Chapter 395 of the Statutes of 2016, with $9,000,000 reserved to cover administrative costs. CalRecycle allocated $90,000,000 to the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program. The remaining funds were allocated to the Organics Grant Program to fund immediate, critical infrastructure needed to process organic waste as required by SB 1383.
After award of the Organics Grant Program, there was $19,590,543 remaining. Those funds were moved to the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant making the total amount available for award to $109,590,543.

Background and Findings
Statutory Authority
Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016, set methane emissions reduction targets for California in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants.
The Budget Act of 2022 authorizes CalRecycle to award grants to local jurisdictions to assist in the implementation of programs to meet these statutory requirements.
Program Background
The SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program provides funding to assist local jurisdictions with meeting the requirements below:
• Provide organics collection services to all residents and businesses • Conduct education and outreach to the community
• Secure access to recycling and edible food recovery capacity • Establish edible food recovery program
• Procure recyclable and recovered organic products
• Monitor compliance and conduct enforcement
Criteria and Process
The Eligibility Criteria and Evaluation Process was approved by the Deputy Director on July 19, 2023 and was presented at the July 2023 CalRecycle Monthly Public Meeting. The Notice of Funds Available was placed on the CalRecycle web site on September 14, 2023, with an appropriate notice sent to interested parties.
Applications were due November 15, 2023, with a secondary due date of December 20, 2023, for authorizing documentation submission. CalRecycle received 390 applications requesting $78,899,869. Staff reviewed the applications in accordance with the approved evaluation and criteria. Subsequently, three applications did not meet the eligibility requirements and are therefore ineligible. The base grant award is $75,000 for eligible entities. The remaining funds will be distributed to eligible entities based on per capita calculations using the Department of Finance’s January 2023 population statistics and data provided by special districts. Staff proposes to fund 387 applications.
If additional monies become available, staff recommends funding the remaining applicants.
Listed below are the types of projects recommended for funding. The types of projects recommended for funding include but are not limited to: green bins and food waste counter pails, development of education and outreach materials, record keeping subscriptions, equipment for food rescue, compost procurement, enforcement and inspections, and personal and administrative costs.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of 387 grant awards as listed below for $109,590,543.
