DRAFT – June 15, 2021 | Page 19 THE CITY OF PLEASANTON SB 1383 ACTION PLAN 2021 ─ 2025 3.1 Collection and Processing during, and after the implementation of new/modified collection services supports a smooth transition to new/modified programs. It may also minimize negative feedback resulting from mandatory requirements and rate increases. Additionally, robust education and outreach may result in lower processing and contamination monitoring costs. See Section 3.6 of this Action Plan for more details on the education and outreach requirements. 3.1.7 Infrastructure Needs Processing capacity and infrastructure is crucial to the effectiveness of SB 1383 collection programs. The City’s existing three-container collection system is a compliant approach under the SB 1383 regulations; therefore, it is not anticipated that the processing facilities will change in response to SB 1383 implementation. However, this will be discussed during negotiations between the City and PGS. The City will review the Franchise Agreement to ensure facility capacity and SB 1383 standards are met, including prohibiting the use of organic waste as alternative daily cover (ADC) or alternative intermediate cover (AIC). Under SB 1383, facilities will be required to maintain high levels of diversion with low levels of contamination. The need for clean organics feedstock will be necessary for the City’s organic material to be accepted at most facilities. Contamination monitoring and education programs, as later described in this Action Plan, will be crucial for the success of the collection and processing programs. 3.1.8 Staffing and Budgetary Considerations The City will have minor if any, increased on-going staffing needs and direct costs associated with collection and processing programs. However, customer rates may need to be increased to compensate PGS for changes in the cost of collection and/or processing, which will be discussed during the negotiations process. 3.1.9 Step-by-Step Action Plan Figure 13: Collection & Processing Step-by-Step Action Plan ID # Action Item Collaborators Timeframe 1 Engage hauler in conversations about SB 1383 planning roles/responsibilities.
