10 Draft Integrated Waste Management Plan - City Council - City of ...

2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan
The Integrated Waste Management Account Disposal Tipping Fee is a state-wide tipping fee for all landfills.
This fee is used to fund CalRecycle and many of its programs. CalRecycle’s current maximum tipping fee of
$1.40 per ton took effect on July 1, 2001. State law AB 1220 currently caps the tipping fee at this level. In the
past, attempts to raise the tipping fee have been defeated (e.g., AB 1610, Nunez in 2007). Due to successful
waste reduction and recycling programs statewide, increased diversion has meant a loss in revenue for
CalRecycle. The State may seek to supplement revenue by increasing their tipping fee. Depending on the
amount of this increase, it may have a substantial effect on the overall tipping fees at the YCCL.
CalRecycle Grant Funds—As mentioned in 13.1.4 below, the City receives grant funds from the State which it
uses for various recycling programs. If the State were to cease these grant programs, the City would need to find
a way to fund those same recycling programs through the Solid Waste Fund.
Penalties/Fines—A reserve is also needed in case of any penalties or fines that the City receives for solid waste
issues. AB 939 comes with a fine of $10,000 per day for jurisdictions that are found to be non-compliant.
Storm—A storm reserve is needed for maintaining storm water quality over time in the absence of current
DWR street sweeping practices.
Transportation Mitigation Fee—This is required to help pay for the cost to the City’s streets and transportation
infrastructure due to wear and tear on the roads from DWRs heavy garbage and recycling equipment. The heavy
garbage trucks, recycling trucks, and especially the yard material claw, place a wear and tear strain on the City’s
pavements and transportation infrastructure.
Franchise Tax Reserve—This reserve is needed for uncollected revenues associated with normal franchise taxes
collected by local governments.
Hazardous/Disaster Waste—A reserve is needed for hazardous waste and disaster waste. This reserve would
pay for clean-up costs in the event of a hazardous waste spill in the City, or waste from a natural disaster. Davis
is on the Interstate 80 corridor and on a major passenger and freight railway hub. In the event of a large spill, a
minimum of $35,000 built up over 5 years will be required to mobilize clean-up efforts in coordination with
other agencies.
Emergency Garbage Service—A reserve is needed to provide emergency garbage service to customers in the
event that DWR is not able to perform its duties with short term notice.
