DRAFT – June 15, 2021 | Page 27 THE CITY OF PLEASANTON SB 1383 ACTION PLAN 2021 ─ 2025 3.3 Product Procurement 3.3 Product Procurement 3.3.1 Program Summary As SB 1383 requirements begin taking effect in January 2022, jurisdictions will need to procure specific amounts of product(s) derived from organic waste recovered in the State. These products, which will be purchased according to targets set on a per capita basis, may include: mulch, compost, renewable natural gas (RNG) used for transportation, electricity or heating applications, electricity produced from biomass conversion, or a combination of these products. The City will need to satisfy an annual minimum procurement target, which is calculated by multiplying the jurisdiction’s population (approximately 79,464 residents for the City of Pleasanton) by a per capita procurement target of 0.08 tons per resident, resulting in a recovered organic waste procurement target of 6,357 tons per year for the City of Pleasanton. The recovered organics waste products reduce greenhouse gas emissions to varying degrees and, as such, are assigned different conversion factors under the regulations. See Figure 15 below for a list of conversion factors. Apart from yearly purchases, the City is also required to identify additional procurement opportunities within their departments or divisions in order to expand usage of recovered organic waste products over time.

For example, PGS could be responsible for procuring and distributing compost derived from organic waste collected in the City to residents, City parks, or local organizations. Per the current Franchise Agreement, PGS is required to do compost giveaways at the transfer station. It is recommended that the City ensure that those requirements are being met and evaluate those provisions during the Franchise Agreement amendment. Another possible option for hauler delegation is procurement of RNG on behalf of the City for future use in PGS’ collection vehicles. It is recommended that the City discuss in detail with PGS during Franchise Agreement amendment negotiations the feasibility of procurement delegation, either now or in the future.
