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.

Regulatory Requirement: (B.i) 14 CCR section 18984.4 Recordkeeping Requirements for Compliance with Organic Waste Collection Services.
Description:
A jurisdiction shall include all relevant documents supporting its compliance with this article in the Implementation Record required by Article 14 of this chapter.
1. The City of Pomona currently fulfills the necessary recordkeeping requirements for organics collection with the exception of SB 1383. The City operates its solid waste program on an extremely limited budget. Prior to SB 1383, the program was underwater, and with the new costs associated with SB 1383, the City is unable to implement all of the required elements immediately. The City hired a consultant to determine the exact cost that SB 1383 will impose on the City. The City began this process in November 2019, but due to Covid, the study was delayed and work on this did not commence until late summer 2020. During this time, our consultant, R3, conducted an exhaustive study of rates and analyzed the impact SB 1383 would have on our operation. It was determined that the City would need an immediate rate increase of 35 percent in order to implement SB 1383. Because a large contingent of the population of the City is economically disadvantaged, the City asked R3 to look at the impact of outsourcing our Solid Waste program. In November 2021, it was determined that this may be the most feasible strategy in order to effectively address SB 1383 and maintain affordable rates. The City issued an RFP in December 2021 and should know by next summer whether it will outsource or immediately raise rates in order to afford compliance with SB 1383.
2. The main way that Covid has delayed compliance is that the City engaged R3 for a study to determine the effects of SB 1383 and to determine the extent of a rate increase. The study was delayed due to Covid. The study should have begun February/March 2020, but the City shut down due to Covid and, at the same time, was dealing with the emergency that Covid presented. During this time, although the City shut down, staff was still working and having to dramatically cut all budgets, including our solid waste budget, while not laying off staff. This shutdown and budget cuts delayed the study until late summer/fall 2020. The study took several months, and at the end, with the determination that rates would need to be increased significantly (35 percent) on a predominately economically disadvantaged community that was also dealing with the economic impacts of Covid, it was determined that we needed to adjust the study to look at how outsourcing our residential and commercial solid waste might better serve the Community. After this was prepared, Council needed to be educated on the economic impacts of SB 1383 to better understand why it may be necessary to outsource both residential and commercial. This process has taken time, and we were finally able to release the RFP in December 2021.

TASK 1: The City has an active RFP to identify a single hauler for both commercial and residential trash services. After reviewing the bids provided by prospective haulders, the City Council will award an exculsive franchise agreement with one hauler.
Award in Fall 2022.
Services begin 1-1-2023
TASK 2: The City will hire one or more staff to audit trash cans. Funding for this will be paid from fees outlined in the Franchise agreement to be paid by the Exclusive Franchise Hauler to the City when one is selected.
1/1/2023
TASK 3: The City provides residential trash services to residents through the end of the year. There is an inspection process where drivers tag trash cans when there are contaminants in the trash. An inspection of the trash is also done at the facility where the trash is processed before going to the landfill. This audit occurs when the City is charged by ton for the waste left at the facility. We are also implementing education, outreach, and new trash can labeling that provides direction on the proper disposal of organic waste. Education and outreach to residents will be the full-time responsibility of new permanent staff hired this calendar year.
Ongoing
Regulatory Requirement: (B.ii) 14 CCR section 18984.5 Container Contamination Minimization.
Description: A jurisdiction shall monitor the containers provided to generators using a three-container or two- container organic waste collection service pursuant to Section 18984.1 or 18984.2 to minimize prohibited container contaminants in a manner that complies with either the provisions of Subdivision (b) or the provisions of Subdivision (c) of this section.
1. The City currently tags containers when they determine that a container is contaminated at the time of pickup. The City is not yet ready to hire the staffing required to do the random can audits as described in this section of the law due to limited funding. As described above, the City has been evaluating the extent to which SB 1383 imposes significant costs and how much of this would have to be passed to the ratepayer and determined, as described above, after an extensive study, that rates would need to increase by 35 percent.
This prompted the City to issue an RFP, and once the City either outsources its solid waste enterprise or raises rates (to be determined based on the bids), the City will be able to hire the staffing needed to audit cans.

Description: A jurisdiction shall include all relevant documents supporting its compliance with Section 18984.5, in the Implementation Record required by Section 18995.2 of this chapter.
1. When a container is determined to be contaminated, the container is tagged and a record of this tagging is logged with the department. Regarding the additional requirements associated with the sections identified above, the City will be able to fulfill this with the new position it plans to hire funded with the SB 1383 Per Capita funding. The City operates its solid waste program on an extremely limited budget. Prior to SB 1383, the program was underwater, and with the new costs associated with SB 1383, the City is unable to implement all of the required elements immediately. The City hired a consultant to determine the exact cost that SB 1383 will impose on the City.

Regulatory Requirement: (B.iv) 14 CCR section 18984.8 Container Labeling Requirements.
Description: Commencing January 1, 2022, a jurisdiction shall place a label on each new container or lid provided to generators consistent with the applicable container collection requirements and limitations of this article specifying what materials are allowed to be placed in each container.
1. The City will be implementing this with future containers that are ordered. The City will work with the vendor or develop the applicable container signage moving forward. As explained above, the City's solid waste program is already underwater and SB 1383 is already imposing significant additional costs. As described above, the City has a plan to move forward with either a rate increase or outsource it's residential and commercial in order to generate enough money to afford all of the additional costs, such as replacement containers with signage.
2. Please see first response above to the question of the impacts of Covid-19 pandemic on compliance. In addition, the City has experienced severe economic impacts on its solid waste fund with increased dumping when people were predominately working from home or out of work due to Covid. This has made it very difficult to afford additional costs associated with SB 1383, such as container replacements with signage. 4 of 10
