DRAFT – June 15, 2021 | Page 1 1.1 SB 1383 - Driving Change Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill No. 1383 on September 19, 2016 (SB 1383) with the intention of addressing the impact of climate change by reducing emissions of short-lived climate pollutants. The legislation includes targets to reduce methane emissions by reducing disposal of organic waste as well as increasing edible food recovered for human consumption, as shown in the side panel to the left. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) began drafting regulations to implement SB 1383 in 2017, with the final regulations adopted November 3, 2020. The City of Pleasanton (City) has been tracking the SB 1383 regulatory process since 2017 and has taken proactive steps toward compliance. For example, the City reflected the October 2017 draft of the regulations in the direct services, record keeping and reporting, and public information requirements of the City’s franchise agreement for solid waste collection (Franchise Agreement) with Pleasanton Garbage Service (PGS). Significant differences between the October 2017 draft and the final regulations adopted November 3, 2020 will require the City and PGS to negotiate these differences and include them in an amendment to the Franchise Agreement. The City's obligations extend to multiple program areas beyond those addressed in the Franchise Agreement, and this SB 1383 action plan (Action Plan) outlines the recommended steps and key collaborators to address these requirements. The SB 1383 regulations impose requirements on residents and businesses that generate organic materials and the companies and facilities that provide collection and processing services to residential and commercial customers. Additionally, the regulations include extensive requirements to plan, implement, and manage food recovery programs. The regulations direct the City to address the following seven program elements.
