SB 1383 Draft Regulations Entities Included In SB 1383 Regulations Cities and Counties Local Enforcement Agencies Generators (Commercial and Residential) Haulers Solid Waste Facilities and Recyclers Food Recovery Organizations End-users of Recycled Organic Products Key SB 1383 Regulatory Concepts Methane Based Disposal and Recycling Quantification Collection Requirements Edible Food Recovery Solid Waste Facility Standards Planning Requirements Enforcement Market Development and Procurement Reporting 12
Planners Play a Key Role Planning agencies have a key role in meeting the challenge of SB 1383 Materials and waste management has become a strategy for climate change, resource management, social justice, and sustainable economic development goals Materials and waste management fundamentally interacts with local planning through the sources of waste discards, people and the built environment Planners involvement in infrastructure development and facility siting is critical Solid waste elements are often overlooked in a community s general plan 2017 General Plan Guidelines include updates on SB 1383 and other related laws, and examples of policies and goals related to materials management 13
Summary of Proposed Requirements for Organics & Edible Food Capacity Planning Organics Recycling Capacity Planning Estimate amount of organic waste that will be disposed by the county and cities Identify the amount of existing, new or expanded organic waste recycling capacity available by 2025 Edible Food Recovery Capacity Planning Identify medium and large generators of recoverable edible food Estimate the amount of edible food that will need to be recovered Identify the amount of existing, new or expanded food recovery capacity that will be available by 2025 Community outreach--consult with local stakeholders If not sufficient planned capacity, then affected County or city will be required to submit an implementation plan 14
Related Resources & Tools General Plan Guidelines Update In August 2017, the California Governor s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) completed the first comprehensive update to the General Plan Guidelines since 2003. One of the major changes includes an expanded section addressing the need for additional recycling, anaerobic digestion, composting, and remanufacturing facilities in the land use element. Additional information is on the OPR General Plan Guidelines website at http://opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/ 15
Example of General Plan Solid Waste & Infrastructure Planning Goals & Policies San Jose s General Plan illustrates how specific elements of planning can be integrated into materials and waste management practices City of San Jose within its General Plan addresses materials and waste management -- Infrastructure section of the plan s Environmental Leadership element One goal and 18 associated policies. Goal: Develop and maintain materials recovery and landfill facilities to meet community need, advance the City s Zero Waste goals and to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. Policies include: IN-5.5 Preserve industrial lands, consistent with Envision General Plan Land Use and Fiscal Sustainability policies, to support the City s future waste management infrastructure needs. http://www.sanjoseca.gov/index.aspx?nid=1736
Related Resources & Tools In 2014 and 2015, the Institute for Local Government (ILG) worked closely with CalRecycle under contract to develop a variety of guidance documents and webinars to help elected officials and stakeholders plan and finance new recycling facilities. The following documents and much more can be found online at ILG s online Recycling Resource Center at http://www.ca-ilg.org/recycling-resource-center Recycling Roadmap: How to Plan, Site and Finance Your Recycling Facility Model Goals, Policies, Zoning, and Development Standards for Composting and Remanufacturing Facilities Understanding Recycling Facilities and Required Permits 17
