2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan The NRC develops goals and objectives for themselves and their individual subcommittees. The City Council will weigh in on several of the NRC’s priority items between September and December 2012 and provide direction on them. The NRC Zero Waste Subcommittee identified five main projects to focus on for 2012: 1. Single use carryout bags 2. Commercial food composting 3. Zero waste for City facilities 4. Polystyrene for food and packaging 5. Green waste containerization The Recycling Program is guided by several of the NRC 2007 Goals and Objectives. Each of these key goals and their action items that are addressed by the Recycling Program are listed below. Goal 4: Identify ways to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Action Item E: Study and recommend ways to reduce the City’s contribution to the problem of global warming. Goal 7: Promote regional environmental resource planning to preserve our natural resources. Action Item B: Integrate actions for other goals into regional approach for resource planning (e.g., water supply, air quality, and natural habitat). Action Item B: Monitor potential impacts to natural resources, including open space from development. Goal 8: Recognize individual, business, and community actions to improve natural resources stewardship. Action Item A: Encourage City to develop outreach to residents and commercial customers for education on pollution load reduction. Goal 9: Promote public involvement, increase community education and awareness, and identify topics of interest related to natural resource issues and energy efficiency. Action Item A: Hold public forums on specific subjects of significant interest a minimum of two times each year. Action Item B: Develop public outreach program similar to National Water Quality Day. Action Item C: Study and promote economic benefits of Davis environmental stewardship. 7.1.4 Davis Climate Action Plan DRAFT The 2010 City of Davis Climate Action Adaptation Plan listed an item to “Adopt zero-waste goal for Davis and begin planning process.” The City adopted a zero waste resolution in December 2011 (see Appendix I). Waste Reduction Objective 1 of the Action and Adaptation Plan is to reduce total solid waste generated by 10% and Objective 2 is to recover 75% of all waste generated. See Appendix I for the CAAP pages related to solid waste and recycling. 7.1.5 Yolo County Climate Action Plan The Unincorporated Yolo County Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory of the Yolo County Climate Action Plan lists solid waste as comprising 0.3% of the 1990 Historic Inventory. This number increased to 1.1% in the 2008 Base-Year Inventory. The Climate Action Plan outlines 3 action items for solid waste: Page | 7-54
2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan Reduce waste-related emissions SW-1.1 Organics materials diversion – 90% diversion of organics materials (i.e., food waste, yard materials, soiled paper) SW-1.2 Construction and demolition waste diversion –75% diversion of construction and demolition waste SW-1.3 Waste reduction and recycling – 4.2 lbs. per resident per day and 3.25 lbs. per person per employee per day by 2020 (including organic wastes and C&D) 7.1.6 Ordinance No. 2299, Construction and Demolition Ordinance In 2005, the CIWMB directed all jurisdictions to adopt a C&D ordinance to recycle 50% of the waste generated from projects. Davis adopted a C&D ordinance in 2007 to help the City meet the state-mandated diversion goals. The ordinance was derived from reviewing similar ordinances throughout the state, and was prepared over the course of a year with comments from the Community Development and Sustainability Department and DWR. The full text of the ordinance is shown in Appendix A. The key components of the ordinance are as follows: C&D projects would be required to achieve a 50% recycling rate. The diversion requirements in the ordinance applies to all C&D projects requiring a building permit with the following exceptions: 1. Residential additions of less than 1,000 square feet of gross floor area; 2. Tenant improvements involving less than 3,000 square feet of gross floor area; 3. New structures of less than 1,000 square feet of gross floor area; 4. Demolition of less than 1,000 square feet of gross floor area; and 5. Any permit at the discretion of the Chief Building Official or designee. Provisions for a “good faith effort” are included if the 50% goal is not met, considering such factors as the availability of markets for the C&D debris, size of the project, and the documented efforts of the applicant to divert the C&D debris. When applying for a building or demolition permit, applicants will receive information about the program from the Community Development and Sustainability Department. The applicant will fill out and submit the recycling plan form to the Community Development and Sustainability Department for review. For all construction where DWR is the waste hauler, no additional submittals will be required. DWR will provide all appropriate information directly to the City. For those sites where the contractor is “self-hauling” (as defined by ordinance) the following applies: o When the project is complete, the applicant must return the approved recycling plan with the appropriate documentation, and the compliance official will then make the following determination of whether the applicant has complied with the diversion requirements: DRAFT Full compliance: the applicant has fully complied with the diversion requirements; Substantial compliance: the applicant has made a “good faith effort” to comply but for an unforeseen reason could not fully comply; or Noncompliance: the applicant is not in substantial compliance or fails to submit the required documentation The ordinance contains language that says it would take effect once a C&D facility is operational in Yolo County or one year from Council approval, whichever is first.
