CountDATE: November 23, 1993 y
SUBJECT: Approve Submission of Funding Application #28-546 to the
California Integrated Waste Management Board
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Approve submission of Funding Application #28-546 to the
California Integrated Waste Management Board, in the amount of
$146,456, for the period from January 1, 1994 through December 31,
1994, for the Used Oil Public Education Program.
2 . Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (William
Walker, M.D. ) to accept the grant award and to execute on behalf of
the County, a subsequent Standard Agreement (and Amendments) to
implement and carry out the purposes specified in the grant
application.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this application will result in $146,456 from the
California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) during the period
from January 1, 1994 through December 31, 1994, for the Used Oil
Public Education Program. No County match is required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Each year 1. 7 million gallons of used oil are improperly disposed of
by Contra Costa County residents. At the state level, this amounts to
60 million gallons annually (six times the amount of the Valdez oil
spill) . In an effort to provide a solution to this problem, the State
Legislature has enacted the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act
which provides funds to cities and counties to implement used oil
collection programs that encourage recycling or appropriate disposal
of used oil.
This project will provide a countywide public education . program to:
implement a 11point of purchase" program; place used oil disposal
information signs near apartment dumpsters; work with large companies
to collect used oil from employees; and provide information on
curbside collection programs.
In order to meet the deadline for submission, the application has been
forwarded to the CIWMB, but subject to Board approval. Four sealed
certified copies of the Board Order authorizing submission of the
application, should be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
