DRAFT - June 15, 2021 | Page 47 THE CITY OF PLEASANTON SB 1383 ACTION PLAN 2021 ─ 2025 3.8 Other Programs & Considerations 3.8 Other Programs & Considerations 3.8.1 Capacity Planning The County will be responsible for taking the lead on regional capacity planning for organics processing and edible food recovery, with the support of jurisdictions within the County. StopWaste and the County have already begun these efforts. However, additional staff time may be required to interface with the County and provide information. Figure 21: Capacity Planning Step-by-Step Action Plan ID# Action Item Collaborators Timeframe 1 Support development of County capacity planning analysis and report, as requested (report due 8/1/2022). City, County, & StopWaste Aug 2021 – Mar 2022 2 If capacity shortfall, develop implementation schedule demonstrating how new or expanded capacity will be secured and presenting a timeline and funding strategy. City &County Feb – Apr 2022 (if needed) 3 If capacity shortfall, proceed with the implementation schedule to support development or expansion of capacity. City & County TBD, if needed 4 Support development of periodic County capacity planning reports thereafter (reports due 8/1/2024, 8/1/2029, 8/1/2034). City & County Feb – Jul 2024, 2029, 2034 3.8.2 Performance-Based Compliance Approach SB 1383 includes an alternative compliance option for certain requirements, the “Performance-Based Compliance Approach,” as described in Article 17 of the regulations. HF&H conducted an analysis on the viability of this approach as part of the Action Planning process. It was determined that this approach is not viable for the City due to the strict standards that are unlikely to be met and the lack of substantial programmatic or cost benefits to the City at this time. 3.8.3 Tri-Valley Coordination As recommended throughout this Action Plan, coordination with the County and StopWaste will be critical the City’s successful SB 1383 implementation. However, there are unique needs for the Tri-Valley area, and it is recommended that the City also remain in close collaboration with neighboring jurisdictions to leverage the resources closest to the City. The City has begun meeting with Dublin, Livermore, and San Ramon monthly to discuss SB 1383 implementation. It is recommended that the City plan to continue these monthly meetings throughout the implementation process and on an on-going basis to ensure alignment. The associated costs and staffing for these meetings are anticipated to be minimal, and are included in the “Other” section of the cost analysis, included in Section 4.
