Scope of data available and will assess what data they actually have. We Services will summarize what data are available and request assistance from CIWMB and City staff to develop an appropriate allocation methodology. Public Agency Programs. Depending on the level and available documentation of the source reduction practices, estimated tons diverted through source reduction will be quantified. For example, if double-sided copying is generally practiced, the tonnage diverted will be estimated by identifying the tonnage of paper purchased and the amount that would have been used if this practice were not in place. Task 6: Recyclers/Materials Handlers Department of Conservation Certified Convenience Centers. R3 will obtain California redemption materials tonnage data for materials diverted by each certified convenience center operating in the City. Drop-Off/Buyback Centers. R3 will contact drop-off and buyback centers to obtain 2004 non-redemption materials diversion tonnages from these companies. It should be noted, however, that it is sometimes difficult to get this information, which is often considered proprietary, from these kinds of businesses. If any difficulty in obtaining information is encountered, R3 will immediately notify the City so a formal request on City letterhead can be prepared. Transformation Facilities. R3 will collect materials used at permitted transformation facilities that accept materials generated in the City. Biomass Facilities. The City must report biomass diversion credit in the 2004 Annual Report if biomass will be reported in the New Base Year project. The City cannot claim both transfornation and biomass credit, and if both are applicable R3 will advise on which approach results in higher diversion. Alternative Daily Cover. R3 will evaluate if the use of atemative daily cover (ADC) can be claimed by the City, as described in PRC Sec. 41781.3. The use of solid waste for beneficial reuse in the construction and operation of a solid waste landfill, including use of ADC, which reduces or eliminates the amount of solid waste being disposed pursuant to Section 40124, shall constitute diversion through recycling and shall not be considered disposal. Should ADC tons qualify, R3 will document that diversion and notify the City of the option to request the diversion credit. Other Materials Handlers. Companies that are not primarily ~~ involved in diversion activities sometimes divert materials for Page 5
