2012 Davis <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
The <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Account Disposal Tipping Fee is a state-wide tipping fee for all landfills.<br />
This fee is used to fund CalRecycle and many <strong>of</strong> its programs. CalRecycle’s current maximum tipping fee <strong>of</strong><br />
$1.40 per ton took effect on July 1, 2001. State law AB 1220 currently caps the tipping fee at this level. In the<br />
past, attempts to raise the tipping fee have been defeated (e.g., AB 16<strong>10</strong>, Nunez in 2007). Due to successful<br />
waste reduction and recycling programs statewide, increased diversion has meant a loss in revenue for<br />
CalRecycle. The State may seek to supplement revenue by increasing their tipping fee. Depending on the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> this increase, it may have a substantial effect on the overall tipping fees at the YCCL.<br />
CalRecycle Grant Funds—As mentioned in 13.1.4 below, the <strong>City</strong> receives grant funds from the State which it<br />
uses for various recycling programs. If the State were to cease these grant programs, the <strong>City</strong> would need to find<br />
a way to fund those same recycling programs through the Solid <strong>Waste</strong> Fund.<br />
Penalties/Fines—A reserve is also needed in case <strong>of</strong> any penalties or fines that the <strong>City</strong> receives for solid waste<br />
issues. AB 939 comes with a fine <strong>of</strong> $<strong>10</strong>,000 per day for jurisdictions that are found to be non-compliant.<br />
Storm—A storm reserve is needed for maintaining storm water quality over time in the absence <strong>of</strong> current<br />
DWR street sweeping practices.<br />
Transportation Mitigation Fee—This is required to help pay for the cost to the <strong>City</strong>’s streets and transportation<br />
infrastructure due to wear and tear on the roads from DWRs heavy garbage and recycling equipment. The heavy<br />
garbage trucks, recycling trucks, and especially the yard material claw, place a wear and tear strain on the <strong>City</strong>’s<br />
pavements and transportation infrastructure.<br />
Franchise Tax Reserve—This reserve is needed for uncollected revenues associated with normal franchise taxes<br />
collected by local governments.<br />
Hazardous/Disaster <strong>Waste</strong>—A reserve is needed for hazardous waste and disaster waste. This reserve would<br />
pay for clean-up costs in the event <strong>of</strong> a hazardous waste spill in the <strong>City</strong>, or waste from a natural disaster. Davis<br />
is on the Interstate 80 corridor and on a major passenger and freight railway hub. In the event <strong>of</strong> a large spill, a<br />
minimum <strong>of</strong> $35,000 built up over 5 years will be required to mobilize clean-up efforts in coordination with<br />
other agencies.<br />
Emergency Garbage Service—A reserve is needed to provide emergency garbage service to customers in the<br />
event that DWR is not able to perform its duties with short term notice.<br />
