What Is the Electronic Program Implementation Status Report?
A Plan of Correction or Goal Achievement Plan accompanies each
Board-approved SB 1066 Time Extension or Alternative Diversion Requirement (ADR).
These plans specify which solid waste diversion programs need to be
implemented or expanded in order for the jurisdiction to meet its solid
waste diversion goal. As a condition of receiving the Time Extension or ADR,
jurisdictions must update the Board on their progress implementing the
programs. Board staff designed the Electronic Program Implementation Status
Report (E-1066) to provide a fast and convenient way for jurisdictions to
meet this obligation.
Who May Use the Electronic Program Implementation Status Report?
Only jurisdictions that have a Board-approved Time Extension or ADR
should use this electronic update.
If your jurisdiction has not yet applied for a Time Extension or ADR,
please see the Board's
SB 1066 Guidelines.
Status Update Timelines and Due Dates:
Each jurisdiction's resolution, passed by the Board when the Time
Extension or ADR was approved, specifies how often updates shall occur. The
E-1066 identifies the status update periods that jurisdictions should use
when reporting program implementation status to the Board. These timeframes
were designed to coordinate with the approximate Annual Report due date, at
six-month intervals, and upon expiration of the time extension or ADR.
Generally, the status update for the period of May 1st to October 31st
will be due at the same time as your Annual Report. You will be notified of
this due date, as well as the due date for the November 1st through April
30th status update periods.
What type of information should be in the status report?
In the Board-approved Plan of Correction or Goal Achievement Plan, a
jurisdiction has outlined which specific steps it will take to increase
solid waste diversion. In the status report, each jurisdiction tells the
Board the implementation status of each solid waste diversion program
mentioned in the Plan of Correction or Goal Achievement Plan.
The following provides guidance to jurisdictions on the type of
information that should be included in the status update and final report
update:
Each Status Update Should:
- Include a detailed description on the jurisdiction's progress (i.e.,
what the jurisdiction has accomplished) towards full program
implementation. Please include information on current/planned activities
to ensure that each program is fully implemented by the target completion
date identified in the SB 1066 Plan of Correction (POC)/Goal Achievement
Plan (GAP). Each jurisdiction should know the incremental steps necessary
to implement their selected programs and should describe incremental
program progress for its selected programs and their associated tasks
during each status update period.
- Be sure to address all tasks listed for each PARIS program in the SB
1066 POC/GAP. For example, a jurisdiction may need to expand its "outreach
program" by conducting waste assessments for businesses, staffing a booth
at community events, and providing door-to-door education on its recycling
program. The status update should include information on the
jurisdiction's progress in conducting all three tasks.
- Identify any barriers to program implementation and describe the
follow-up steps your jurisdiction plans to take to overcome these
barriers, or alternatives identified if barriers cannot be overcome.
All jurisdictions should provide the following information in their
FINAL SB 1066 Time Extension/ADR Updates:
- All information identified above.
- Full detailed discussion/description of implementation progress for
each program identified in the SB 1066 POC/GAP (including support
programs). This should include a description of whether the program, as
described in the SB 1066 POC/GAP, was fully implemented, an explanation of
what your jurisdiction considers full implementation to be, and how/when
it was achieved. (For example, for a curbside mixed material collection
expansion, a description might include: that the program was fully
implemented by the introduction of a single-stream program with all new
containers--with a description of containers--to all single family homes
(2700), with the additional introduction of a variable can rate (VCR)--with a fully detailed description of the VCR. This expansion also included
an addition of materials collected to include mixed papers and cardboard.
This program replaces a source separated curbside program and has
increased collected tonnages from 900 to 2000 tons. This increase is 150
tons over the amount of increase estimated in the SB1066 Plan of
Correction. The program was available to all single-family homes by the
end of August 2003, two months in advance of the planned completion date.
This program is considered fully implemented because it fulfilled the
details of the program description in the SB1066, collected more tonnage
than estimated in the SB1066 and was completed earlier than the planned
date.) This example is included to provide an idea of how to describe
program implementation details sufficiently for Board staff to analyze a
jurisdiction's SB1066 program progress.
- If all 1066 programs have not been fully implemented, please discuss
any barriers and how those barriers were addressed/overcome. In addition,
please discuss whether alternative programs were implemented, if
necessary.
- If your jurisdiction has not addressed/overcome barriers and/or
implemented alternative programs, please discuss what the jurisdiction
considers to be the appropriate next steps towards achieving program
implementation and the diversion goal.
- Indicate whether your jurisdiction intends to submit a second SB 1066
time extension/alternative diversion requirement request and discuss the
timeframe for development and submittal.
