DRAFT June 15, 2021 | Page 34 THE CITY OF PLEASANTON SB 1383 ACTION PLAN 2021 ─ 2025 3.4 Ordinances and Policies • Adopt enforceable ordinance(s), or similarly enforceable mechanisms requiring compliance with Sections 492.6(a)(3)(B)(C), (D), and (G) of the MWELO, Title 23, Division 2, Chapter 2.7 of the California Code of Regulations (§18989.2). 3.4.3 Ordinance and Policy Needs Collection To meet SB 1383 requirements, the City will need to ensure the Municipal Code includes the requirement for mandatory solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic waste collection and processing for all generators (i.e., single-family, multi-family, and commercial businesses). While the ordinance requirements under SB 1383 are fairly prescriptive, there are a number of policy decisions left to the City’s discretion, including additional optional program decisions that could aid in reporting, recordkeeping, and enforcement, as well as possible delegation of some tasks to the hauler. For instance, the City may allow commercial generators to apply for a de minimis, physical space, and/or collection frequency waivers, although they are not required to do so. Procedures for applying and recertification of waivers would need to be outlined in the amended Municipal Code. If the City chooses to allow self-hauling, the Municipal Code will need to specify source-separation requirements for self-haulers to waive the new mandatory collection service requirements. Jurisdictions have the option to require self-haulers to register as such, and/or report tonnage and drop off locations to facilitate reporting. The City currently has a self-haul registration and reporting system, which may need to be modified in response to the updated ordinance. Edible Food Recovery A new section of the Municipal Code will need to be implemented for regulating and requiring compliance with the food recovery program, including the requirements specified in Section 3.5. StopWaste and the County are proposing to take on many of the food recovery activities under SB 1383 on behalf of the City; and, this will impact the language used in the Municipal Code related to edible food recovery, particularly for inspection and enforcement delegation. Contract Haulers SB 1383 outlines requirements for contracted haulers. To meet State requirements, basic requirements for contracted haulers should be added to the Municipal Code. It is recommended that the Municipal Code include descriptions of the franchise hauler program and ensure strong enforcement provisions, but that more specific operational and programmatic SB 1383 requirements for haulers be fully described in an amended Franchise Agreement. This will allow for more timely changes and limit the potentially lengthy Municipal Code amendment process for changes to manage the City and hauler’s contract. CALGreen and MWELO The City’s Municipal Code will need to include the most recent standards for the MWELO, Title 23, Division 2, Chapter 2.7 of the California Code of Regulations. Specifically, Sections 492.6(a)(3)(B), (C), (D), and (G) that mandate specific levels of compost and mulch and sets a precedent for mulch made from recycled or post- consumer materials. Both CALGreen and MWELO chapters within the existing Municipal Code need review and potential modifications to ensure that applicable sections are up to date. The City may want to consider a provision
