Changes in Governmental Responsibilities and Administration of the County Integrated Waste Management Flan The following changes have occurred since the adoption of the Summary Plan in the administration of integrated waste management in the County. The numbers correspond to the numbering in Section 1V B,Current Solid Waste Management Administration,on pages 1-18 through 1-23 of the Summary Plan. 1.No further changes. 2.No further changes. 3. No changes. 4.The County is now a full voting member of the CCCSWA. 5.The County is a member by contract of the WCCIWMA. An ex-officio,non-voting representative of the County sits on the Authority Board. 6.No further changes. 7.The Contra Costa Waste Management Authority continues not to function. 8. No further changes. 9.No further changes. 10.No further changes. 11.No further changes. 12.No further changes. ............. .......... ....... .................... APPENDIX E SITING ELEMENT REVIEW Appendix E-2:Remaining Landfill Capacity Table E-2,attached,shows the remaining capacity and estimated site life in years for the County's three active,permitted landfills. The table indicates that,while Acme Landfill and the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill are nearing capacity,Keller Canyon Landfill has sufficient capacity to accept all of the projected generated waste for the entire County for 65 years. The "Site Life in Years"columns show remaining site life under three scenarios: the first column assumes that each landfill will receive waste at the same rate as during the 1995 calendar year; the second assumes that each landfill will receive wastes at the current maximum daily permitted limit; and the third assumes that each landfill will receive the entire generation of solid waste requiring disposal for the County,as indicated in the Countywide Siting Element. Under all three of these scenarios,the result is similar: Acme Landfill and the West County Landfill have less than three years of capacity; while Keller Canyon has sufficient capacity for the entire County for at least 65 years. ... ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The base year against which the reduction is measured is1990. A copy of the Annual Report is included in your packet. The report is for the unincorporated County only. Each:City or regional agency is developing it's own report. This report provides the disposal reduction amount, based upon a formula provided by the tate;the amounts of various materials recycled, and the status of the Source Reduction and Recycling Element programs. Staff has been working with the haulers, transfer stations and landfills to develop more accurate disposal numbers. The current disposal reduction amount of 46.71% as discussed in Appendix A3'b. is still considered to be excessively optimistic. The disposal reporting system provided by the State results in a great deal of projection and extrapolation to develop the numbers that determine the amount of reduction in waste disposed. As the Annual Deport demonstrates there are numerous programs that still require implementation. It is staffs plan to implement the remaining residential curbside recycling programs and variable can rates this year once all of the Rate Review Methodologies are completed and there is a process for measuring cost of programs. Staff is also working with the State to develop a program for beginning additional programs for unincorporated Contra Costa County commercial areas. This is the second Annual Report submitted to the State. Based on the two reports, the State will conduct a Biennial Review this year to determine County compliance with AB939. _....... ......... ......... ......... ......... .................................................................................._.........._.._....__.. . .. ........... _........ ............. ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... ........ .........

Appendix A-2a: Base Year Generation The County still believes that the base-year generation amount is reasonably accurate. There may have been some undercounting of self-haul material in the waste generation study,however. As with last year,the disposal reduction amount calculated using the CIWMB form is higher than expected. Please see the discussion in Appendix A-3. Appendix A-3:Reporting Year Disposal Amount Disposal amounts for 1996 are lower than expected. The principal reason is that not all wastes originating in the unincorporated area of the County are being identified as such. This is particularly problematic in eastern Contra Costa County. Wastes originating from areas of the County serviced by Garaventa Enterprises have,since the middle of the third quarter of 1996, been transferred through the Pittsburg Transfer Station. This material is then hauled to Potrero Hills Landfill in Solano County,where it is disposed. However,neither Solano County,nor the City of Pittsburg,nor the Transfer Station operator have provided Contra Costa County with the amount of wastes received at the Transfer Station from the unincorporated areas of the County. The Transfer Station in Pittsburg has not reported jurisdictional information to Potrero Hills Landfill, Therefore, Solano County has only reported the total amount of waste received from Contra Costa County,and has not provided the County a breakdown of the origin of this material. Solano County is now reporting the waste coming from the Pittsburg Transfer Station as"City of Pittsburg waste," since the City is the host jurisdiction,per section 18809(a)(3)of the regulations. The County has twice requested that the Transfer Station provide the jurisdictional information and has provided forms and instructions and offered assistance in developing a process. The County has also requested that the City enforce the reporting requirements. Appendix A3a.Discussion of Alternative Disposal Amount Calculation Table A3-1,below,exhibits several anomalous values in unincorporated Contra Costa County's quarterly landfill totals during 1996. First,while the quarterly totals for 1995 were quite consistent,the quarterly totals for 1996 are not. During the second quarter-of 1996,disposal at the Keller Canyon Landfill spiked. This increase can be accounted for by a large amount (14,905 tons) of"host assigned" waste that was credited to unincorporated Contra Costa County during this quarter. This problem has since been addressed, and the subsequent quarters are probably more reflective of the actual amount of material originating from the unincorpoated County area and being disposed at Keller Canyon. Second, the quarterly disposal tonnage at Keller,and for the Unincorporated area as a whole,declined relative to the previous quarter in both the third and fourth quarter of 1496. Third,despite the absence of reports from the Pittsburg Transfer Station,the total tonnage disposed in the third and fourth quarters of 1996 was not significantly different from the same period in 1995. In fact,the four-quarter total for 1996 was greater than for 1995. This last observation may be due,first,to the third quarter spike noted at Keller,and also to improved accuracy in the execution of the quarterly origin survey at the BFI Contra Costa Transfer and Recovery Station. Table AM indicates that through six quarters of disposal reporting,the amount of material going to Potrero Hills Landfill in Solano County was quite consistent. This data comes from the period previous to the opening of the Pittsburg Transfer Station,when most East County refuse was being direct hauled to Potrero Hills. The consistency of this data suggests that a similar amount of material originating from unincorporated Contra Costa County may now be passing through the Pittsburg Transfer Station before being landfilled at Portrero Hills. ........................ A3b,Alternative Disposal Amount Calculation If we take the six-quarter average disposal at Portreo Hills(4505 tons per quarter)and add this to the total disposed in each of the last two quarters of 1996,then the total figure for 1996 would be 115,685 tons. If we use this figure in Appendix A-1,then the calculated diversion rate would be 46.71%. This diversion figure is still somewhat higher than expected,given the range of diversion programs currently operating in the unincorporated areas. The discrepancy maybe explained by haulers who are utilizing the BFT Transfer Station for self-haul,and who are identifying the origin of wastes during the survey weeks as an incorporated city,when in fact the origin is an unincorporated area adjacent to a city. The County has been working closely with BFT,the operator of the Contra Costa Transfer and Recovery Station(formerly known as the Acme-STAR Transfer Station) in Pacheco,with the City of Martinez,,and with other cities to refine the Transfer Station's surveying techniques. Beginning in the 3'°quarter of 1996,the Transfer Station began requesting and recording the address of origin of all self-haul loads received during survey week. City and County staff now are able to check the addresses to verify the origin of each load. The County will continue to fine-tune the origin survey in order to obtain an accurate count of the amount of waste disposed. The County also suspects that hauler routes are not being appropriately attributed to the various jurisdictions. County and CCCSWA staff are currently reviewing disposal allocations. The results of this review will be reflected in the 1997 disposal reports. Appendix A4a Additional Information Please refer to the discussion in appendices A3a and A3b.

This table was created to organize and present in a compact form information on program status for the many communities that make up the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County. The tableis organized by SRRE Component. Each page of the table represents implementation of a particular program. In the first column,the various unincorporated communities or service areas are listed. The second column indicates the company that provides waste management services to the community or area(see list of service providers,below). The third column shows the planned date of implementation of the program for each community,if the program was in fact planned for than community. The fourth column indicates the actual implementation date of the program. If the program has not yet been implemented,this column shows a dashed line(--). The fifth column,"nates",includes any pertinent information on the program,including anew implementation date for those programs suffering a delay in implementation. Each page includes a row for information on any "County-wide" activities,i.e.,actions initiated by the County itself that serve the entire unincorporated area. At the bottom of each page is a"notes" section. This section may include general information on program implementation,revisions,or experiences with program operation. For each SRRE program component(Source Reduction,Recycling,Composting,Special Waste, and Education and Public Information),there is, in addition,a page showing planned and actual status of county-wide programs,or programs operated directly by the County. These pages are organized in a similar fashion. The County's major accomplishments for 1996 are summarized below.

WCCIWMA: West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority County Agencies: CDD: Community Development Department GS: General Services HSD-EHD-HMP:Health Services Department,Environmental Health Division,Hazardous Materials Program The major accomplishments for 1996 include the following: 1.The County continued efforts to either directly franchise waste collection,recycling and other diversion services,or to sign Memoranda of Understanding with franchising agencies for provision of these services. These agreements will give the County greater authority and control over integrated waste management services in unincorporated communities,and will help ensure that the programs planned in the SRRE are implemented in a timely fashion. They will also help ensure that programs are implemented in a manner consistent with the County's goals and with the County's needs for oversight and accountability. As of December, 1996,the:County has established the following agreements: West County: • The County is a non-voting member of the WCCIWMA,which is the regional agency for West County. The County franchises directly with Richmond Sanitary Service for integrated waste management services in the unincorporated area. WCCIWM has staff that implements source reduction and recycling programs in the five member cities and the unincorporated areas within their jurisdiction. • The County has a franchise agreement with Crockett Garbage to provide refuse collection, recycling collection,and periodic greenwaste collection in Crockett. • The County entered into a franchise agreement with Bay View Refuse and Recycling Inc.,in October, 1996. This franchise agreement added quarterly green waste pick-up for 1997. The action of the County also resulted in litigation with the Kensington Community Services District. • The County's franchise agreement with BFI became effective in Rodeo and Mountain View in August, 1996. The Rodeo Sanitary District and the Mountain View Sanitary District have subsequently sued the County over their right to franchise solid waste and recycling services in the Sanitary District area. Central County The County is a full member of the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCCSWA). The CCCSWA is not a regional agency,but is the franchising agency for much of Central County,including the unincorporated communities of Alamo,Diablo,Blackhawk, Saranap,unincorporated Walnut Creek,and the Pleasant Hill BART Station area. • The County franchises integrated waste management collection services in the unincorporated communities of Alhambra Valley,Pacheco,Clyde,MorganTerritory,Vine Hill,Mountain View,Tassajara,and Canyon. These areas are currently being served by BFI. East County • The County has continued to issue transitional permits to Ironhouse unitary district and is working with the district to establish an MOU which will require the District to implement source reduction and recycling programs for the Oakley and Bethel Island areas. • The County has direct franchises in most of the remaining unincorporated areas of East County,including Bay Paint, Knightsen,and Discovery Bay. 2.Most of Central County unincorporated areas now have regular green waste collection,along with expanded curbside service,under CCCSWA`s new franchise agreement. Crreenwaste is also accepted on a drop-off basis in San Ramon. The CCCSWA has granted multiple non-exclusive franchises for commercial recycling service providers. Several of these providers serve businesses in the unincorporated area. 3.WCCIWMA staff have been working to expand commercial recycling programs in RSS's service area,including unincorporated areas of West County. 4.The Community Development Department launched a focused effort to expand recycling and source reduction at Centra Costa Centre,a mixed use(commercial and residential)development centered around the Pleasant Hill BART Station. This effort began in 1396 and continued into 1997. 5.The County has upgraded the Recycling Hotline database,which provides information on recycling and source reduction for the entire County. The Hotline is now staffed full-time. The County began updating data for a future revision of the recycling guide. 6. The County began research for a re-use directory,which covers the entire County,and which is scheduled for publication in October of 1997. 7.The County continues to expand the home composting education program,both through use of Community Development Department Staff,and through cooperative efforts with other franchising agencies. The County conducted four composting workshops in the East County area,and sold compost bins at cost. 8.County residents and businesses now have access to a drop-off facility for greenwaste,located at the West Contra Crista Sanitary Landfill. 9.The Community Development Department developed a database for tracking and reporting diversion data from the several service providers that serve the unincorporated area. 10.The County has taken an active part in coordinating the Contra Costa cities and unincorporated county areas and working with the Bay Area-wide programs such.as Shop Smart, Edible Food Waste,and Business Waste programs. County staff trained and arranged for training of volunteers to provide"in-store"services to city and County grocery stores for the January Shop Smart campaign. 11.The County, in cooperation with the WCCIWMA and the City of Pittsburg,completed a Strategic Marketing Plan for the Contra Costa Shoreline RDZ,and attempted to develop a working relationship with the Economic Partnership to serve in the capacity of Zone Administrator. A brochure was also developed for the purpose of informing businesses of the program and the program goals and loan availability. Appendix B-2:Reporting-Year Recycling/Composting Tonnages Table B-2 shows reported tonnage from all unincorporated communities,sorted by service provider and subtotaled by program type,for diversion programs operating under the jurisdiction of the County. The table does not include some unfranchised private sector diversion activities, such as some commercial recycling programs,some concrete and asphalt processors,certified redemption centers,and some scrap dealers. Appendix B3-a.Planned Programs Not Implemented Programs whose implementation has been delayed are indicated in Table B-1. Please note that the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County includes numerous communities serviced by several waste haulers and recycling service providers. Therefore,there has been variation in the timing of implementation of programs throughout the unincorporated area.The County Community Development Department has been working to ensure more uniform implementation of diversion programs through direct establishment of franchises,participation in regional waste reduction activities,coordinating and cooperating with local waste managementauthorities,and through establishment of MOUs with sanitary districts that are acting as franchising agencies,as detailed in Appendix B 1. These efforts will have the effect of ensuring that the programs planned in the SRRE,or comparable programs, are in fact implemented in a timely fashion,with proper oversight and accountability. Appendix B3-b-.Reasons for Not Implementing Planned Programs After a period of reduced activity brought on by the reduction and turnover in County staff,and the lack of funds,the Community Development Department in 1995 began advancing implementation of the ERRE,as detailed in Appendix B1. The Integrated Waste Program now has a permanent Manager and two staff positions. In addition,the Program continues to contract with consultants for the provision of some services. Establishment of agreements and collection of franchise fees will further enable the CDD to implement ERRE programs or their equivalents. Franchise fees are being collected in a portion of the County. Fees will be included in the remaining areas as rates are reviewed and modified. Appendix B-5 Contingency Measures The County intends to continue implementation of planned programs. At this time,it does not appear necessary to pian for implementation of contingency programs. Appendix B4 Barriers to Achievement of Disposal Reduction Goals The County believes that it has achieved the 1995 disposal reduction/diversion goal. The County is of the opinion that the planning documents stili provide an adequate framework for achieving program goals. Possible impediments to additional diversion include the lack of processing facilities and funding for organic materials collection in the County. Currently,only West County has'a processing facility that accepts greenwaste and other materials from the general public. The County has targeted three material types that have experienced extreme market fluctuations, or for which markets are either not available or have collapsed. These include polystyrene, plastic film,and mixed paper. Because of its prominence in the waste stream,mixed paper is particularly important for achieving the higher diversion goal. The County will continue to emphasize market development programs through buy-recycled programs,County purchase preferences,and through establishment of additional processing and utilization capacity in the RMDZ, The County is seeking to establish a permanent Zone Administrator which will be funded by the County and city members. Integrated waste management planning at the local level can by its very nature be only a partial, piecemeal solution to the problem of excessive wastefulness. Until the broader issues surrounding the global system of resource extraction and conversion to consumer commodities are addressed by state,federal,and global bodies,there can be no truly meaningful interruption of the downward spiral of Extract--Produce--Consume--Discard. Appendix B-1 1: NUFE The final,approved NDFE,dated May 1993, includes descriptions of four facilities that are,or were planned to be,located within the unincorporated area,or would be used by service providers serving the unincorporated area. These facilities were- 1. ere:I.Acme Fill Waste Recovery and Transfer Station 2.West County Integrated Resource Recovery Facility(IRRF) 3.East Contra Costa County Community Collection Center 4.Erickson Hazardous Waste Transfer/Treatment Facility Several changes in these existing and planned facilities were noted in the 1995 Annual,Report. Additional changes are noted below: 1.The Acme Fill Waste Recovery and Transfer Station is now known as the Contra Crista Transfer and Recovery Station.The facility does not include extensive materials'recovery capabilities. Recyclables are received at the"Transfer Station,then are transferred to a third party processor. Metal and tires are salvaged from the Transfer Station floor. Originally,there were plans for an Hl 1W collection facility at the Transfer Station. The recent completion of an HHW collection facility at the nearby Central Costa Contra Sanitary District obviates the need for a similar facility at the Transfer Station. Plans for a compost facility at the Acme landfill are on hold. 2.Recyclables are now processed at the IRRF. Materials accepted and processed at the IRRF Transfer Station include curbside and commercial recyclables,drop-off and buy-back: recyclables,and some mixed commercial Ioaids. The IRRF Bulk Material Processing Facility, located on the landfill,accepts greenwaste and concrete/asphalt for recycling. The SOPA Plus facility continues to operate at the landfill 3.There is still no concerted effort to develop the East Contra Costa County Community Collection Center. The Pittsburg Transfer Station opened in the fall of 1996 and serves much of the same purpose,for the same area,as the previously proposed Collection Center. Delta Diablo Sanitary District opened a$DPA facility in June, 1996 that serves East County residents. 4.The Erickson Hazardous Waste Transfer/Treatment Facility has established early 1998 as a target date for completion of all necessary pre-construction approvals from the County and other regulatory agencies for"Phase I", a scaled-down version of the planned facility. Phase I will include storage and transfer only of hazardous wastes,with no on-site treatment.
