CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino authorizing
the execution of the Third Amendment to the Waste Delivery Agreement between the
County of San Bernardino and the City of San Bernardino.
Background:
On November 19, 2007, the Mayor and Common Council approved Resolution 2007-
453 (Third Amendment to the WDA), which allowed the City of San Bemardino to
participate in a Comprehensive Disposal Site Diversion Program (CDSDP) once the
program is operational. Unfortunately, the County Solid Waste Management Division
(SWMD) failed to execute the agreement within the sixty (60) days allowed by the
resolution, so the agreement did not take effect. Therefore, staff is seeking approval of
this item once again so we may participate in the diversion program.
The proposed program calls for the County to perform diversion of self-haul waste at the
disposal facilities. Self-haul is material that is brought to the landfill by individuals and
buried at the landfill. The proposed program will identify loads at the landfill entrance
that contain recyclable material and send them to a sorting area at the landfill. By
participating, the CDSDP is expected to divert an additional 10,955 tons of material from
the City's waste stream, which could mean an additional 1-3 percent of waste diversion
for the City.
Staff recommends that the execution of the Third Amendment to the Waste Delivery
Agreement (WDA) be approved.
Financial Impact:
The manual sorting of materials under this program is expected to cost approximately
$69,500 per year. These costs will be paid from Account No. 527-413-5179.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.

EXHIBIT "A"
AMENDMENT NO.3
TO
WASTE DELIVERY AGREEMENT
On 12/16/97 , the City of San Bernardino ("City") and the County of San
Bernardino ("County") entered into a Waste Delivery Agreement (the "WDA") which is
hereby amended as of this ~ day of FFRRlJARY , 20Qi. ("Amendment No.3).
RECITALS
A. The County owns, manages and operates a sanitary landfill system for the
disposal of municipal solid waste generated in the unincorporated area within the
County and which it has made available for the disposal of municipal solid waste
generated within the cities located within the County (the "Disposal System"). The
Disposal System currently includes ten (10) major facilities: six (6) active landfills and
four (4) Transfer Stations.
Landfill:
Victorville Sanitary landfill
Barstow Sanitary landfill
landers Sanitary landfill
Colton Sanitary landfill
San Timoteo Sanitary landfill
Mid-Valley Sanitary landfill
Transfer Station:
Phelan Transfer Station
Big Bear Transfer Station
Twentynine Palms Transfer Station
Heaps Peak Transfer Station
The Disposal System is used for the disposal of municipal solid waste which is
notcomposted, reused, recycled. transformed or otherwise diverted from landfill
disposal. pursuant to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (the
"Act") [Division 30 of the California Public Resources Code].
B. In 1989 the state passed AS 939 that required all local jurisdictions to divert
waste from landfill disposal by fifty percent (50%). The County and the cities have
implemented many programs to achieve this state mandated requirement. Most
jurisdictions have achieved diversion in the high forty percent (40%) range; however,
they are short of the fifty percent (50%) requirement. Many solid waste customers
already have a significant portion of their waste diverted either through curbside
recycling programs or at Material Recovery Facilities. However, residential and
commercial self-haul customers who take their solid waste to the disposal facilities have
limited diversion opportunities.
C. The recycling representatives from the County and Cities with Waste Delivery
Agreements (WDA) have requested that the County perform diversion of self-haul waste
at the disposal facilities. In response to this need, the Solid Waste Management
Division (SWMD) has developed a Comprehensive Disposal Site Diversion Program
(CDSDP) to divert this waste. The SWMD financed a pilot program at the Victorivlle
__ __ ~ _-Z ^
c
c
c
Landfill and has detennined that the program is effective in increasing the diversion of
these loads. The program has self-haul vehicles proceed to a load checking station
where the potential for diversion is assessed. Loads that appear to have substantial
divertable materials are sent to the diversion area for processing. As of November
2006, approximately fifty percent (50%) of the type of loads identified as being eligible
for the program are directed to the on-site processing area and approximately fifty
percent (50%) of the tonnage processed is diverted.
D. The CDSDP, which was recommended by the Local AS 939 Task Force (Solid
Waste Advisory Taskforce/SWAT) on October 18, 2006, will expand the existing
diversion program to the ten major facilities operated by the County (See Recital A
above). The recently completed amendment to the Operations Contract with the
Operations Contractor facilitates the implementation of the expansion of the onsite
CDSDP throughout the system; specifically requiring such services to be provided by
the operator and setting out an agreed upon first year cost for such services of $36.10
per ton of diverted material.
E. To finance the CDSDP, an AS 939 Fee will be charged to self-haul customers.
Regular trash trucks and transfer trucks will not be charged the fee, because these
vehicles deliver waste that has already been subject to a diversion program. Eligible
tonnage to be charged the AS 939 Fee is waste brought to the disposal site by self-
haulers, commercial (non-franchised and non-pennitted haulers), all county and city roll-
offs (roll-offs either controlled or hauled by the county/city) and (lther county and city
owned vehicles. Eligible tonnage that will not be charged a fee is waste brought to a
disposal site from a community clean-up program, waste brought to a disposal site on a
free dump day, and waste picked up by the Operations Contractor for off-site clean-up
one-quarter mile around a disposal site. The AS 939 Fee is set at a price sufficient to
cover the cost of diversion for both of the proceeding categories of Eligible tonnage.
However, Eligible tonnage that is considered to be Controllable Waste of the City
within the meaning of this WDA is entitled to be disposed of on payment only of the
Contract Rate (pursuant to section 4.1). On the other hand, such tonnage is not entitled
to participate in a program such as the CDSDP, pursuant to the provisions of section
3.6. The purpose of this amendment is to authorize the County to charge the AS 939
Fee on Eligible tonnage that is otherwise considered to be Controllable Waste of the
City and, at the same time, to allow that such waste be processed in the CDSDP.
F. On January 9,2007, the Board of Supervisor's (the .Supervisors") of the County
approved the expansion of the CDSDP to the ten (10) major facilities in the County
Disposal System, as listed in Recital A above. The Supervisors also approved the AS
939 Fee which will be implemented relative to Eligible tonnage at each disposal site
concurrently with the start-up of the CDSDP at the given disposal site.
NOW THEREFORE, inconsideration of the forgoing recitals and the following
covenants and promises the parties agree as follows:
1. Section 3.6. COUNTY PROVISION OF THE WASTE DIVERSION SERVICES
shall be amended by adding the following:
Page 2 of 9
c
c
(D) Comorehensive Disoosal Site Diversion Proaram ICDSDP).
Effective with the approval of this Amendment, the City agrees to become a participant in
the County's Comprehensive Disposal Site Diversion Program ("CDSOP"). The CDSDP
will be funded through the AS 939 Fee. The CDSDP may be expanded, contracted or
modified by the County at any time in Its sole discretion.
The CDSDP wilCtarget all self-haul and commercial vehicles, county/city
roll-offs, and other county/city owned vehicles bringing waste to the disposal site. A
load reviewer will interview drivers and review every load and identify those loads with
the potential for diversion. Those loads will be sent to the on-site diversion area for
processing. Loads will be dumped at the sorting area where a combination of manual
and mechanical means will be used to sort inert waste, fines waste, wood waste, metal
waste, green waste and tires. The diverted materials will be stockpiled for additional
processing or later use. The operator will regularly quantify the weight of the material
diverted. By design, the program can add or delete diverted materials based on a
material's "divertability", although the core materials are expected to remain the same.
The weight of the diverted materials will be allocated in proportion to the percent of
Eligible tons brought in by jurisdiction of origin on a site-by-site basis
(1) Eliaible and Inelialble Tons. The CDSDP classifies all
materials coming into a disposal site as Eligible or Ineligible tonnage.
Eligible tonnage is waste that is not subject to a recycling program prior to
arriving at the disposal site. Ineligible tonnage has been subject to a recycling program
or is classified as restricted waste or non-waste material.
Eligible tonnage to be charged the AS 939 Fee is waste brought to the
disposal site by self-haulers, commercial (non-franchised and non-permitted haulers),
ail County and city roll-offs and other County and city owned vehicles. Eligible tonnage
that will not be charged a fee is waste brought to a disposal site from a community
clean-up program, waste brought to a disposal site on a free dump day, and waste
picked up by the Operations Contractor for off-site clean-up one-quarter mile around a
disposal site
c
Ineligible tonnage is waste from all franchised and permitted waste
haulers, including cities with Waste Delivery Agreements that haul their own waste,
using a front-, rear-, or side-loading refuse vehicle (packer truck), and waste from a
Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) or transfer station Including Article 19 and Article 20
waste, and Processed Green Material. Ineligible tonnage also includes cover soli,
alternative daily cOver, alternative intermediate cover, landfill construction materials,
septic and sludge, restricted waste such as animal and fowl carcasses, and declared
emergency and disaster debris.
(2) Diverted Material Measurement Standards. All measurement
standards will be consistent with the State of Carlfornia disposal reporting regulations.
a. Metals: Outgoing metals will be weighed across Solid Waste
Management Division ("SWMD") scales with a record of outgoing net weight retained in
PaQe 3 of 9
c
c
c
the SWMD database. The Operations Contractor shall submit weights for all metal
materials removed from disposal sites.
b. Tires: Outgoing tires will be weighed across SWMD scales
with record of outgoing net weight retained in the SWMD database. The Operations
Contractor shall submit weights for all tires removed from disposal sites.
c. MiXed Recvclables (or seoarated bv tvoe. e.a.. alass. olastic.
oaoer. etc.): Outgoing mixed or other separated recyclables will be weighed across
SWMD scales, with a record of outgoing net weight retained in the SWMD database.
The Operations Contractor shall submit weights for all recyclables removed from
disposal sites.
d. Wood waste and Processed Wood/Green Material:
Following wood waste processing, Processed Wood/Green Material (PGM) will be
loaded Into site self-loading scraper (fully loaded with PGM only). The Operations
Contractor shall maintain a daily log indicating the number of all PGM scraper loads
used at each facility each day. The log will include scraper model and Identification
number used to transport materials. Approximately every 20th load, and a minimum of
two loads each day. the PGM will be offloaded from the scraper onto compacted level
earthen area. PGM material only will be reloaded into roll-off boxes and weighed at the
site SWMD scale in accordance with vehiclelbox weight procedures. The truck and box
numbers used to weigh the sample loads will be recorded in the daily log. The average
net weight determined from the sample loads weighed will be the weight used for each
load not weighed. The County retains the right to weigh any or all loads of PGM.
e. Screened Fines: Following processing, Processed Screened
Fines will be loaded into site self-loading scraper (fully loaded with Screened Fines
only). The Operations Contractor shall maintain a daily log indicating the number of all
Screened Fines scraper loads used at eli\ch facility each day. The log will Include
scraper model and identification number used to transport materials. Approxlmately
every 20th load, and a minimum of two loads each day, the Screened Fines will be
offloaded from the scraper onto compacted level earthen area. Screened Fines
material only will be reloaded into roll-off boxes and weighed at the site SWMD scale in
accordance with vehiclelbox weight procedures. The truck and box numbers used to
weigh the sample loads will be recorded in the daily log. The average net weight
determined from the sample loads weighed will be the weight used for each load not
weighed. The County retains the right to weigh any or all loads of Screened Fines.
f. Inerts: Inert stockpiles shall be surveyed monthly. The
SWMD will be advised of survey date and time, and may attend the stockpile survey.
Stockpile volume information will be provided to the SWMD by the 15th of each month.
Average weight or density of material will be determined by the SWMD. This weight or
density will be used in determining stockpile tonnage. Weight records will be retained
and filed by the SWMD.
g. Household Hazardous WastelUniversal Waste (HHWIUW):
As waste is sorted out at the diversion area, it is likely that a large volume of HHWIUW
will be separated from the waste stream and require processing. The additional costs of
Page 4of9
c
c
c
increased HHW/UW separated by the CDSDP will be paid for from the savings in the
recent contract amendment with the landfill Operations Contractor.
h. Other Materials: Based on incoming waste stream
concentrations, end-use markets availability, regulatory mandates, and recovery costs,
other materials may be targeted for diversion by the program. Appropriate
measurement procedures will be established to quantify the amount being diverted by
jurisdiction of origin. The procedures shall be consistent with state regulations and
reporting requirements.
i. Measurement Methodology. Measurement methodology
may be changed, at the sole discretion of the County, to promote a more effective or
efficient method of measurement. The WDA Cities will be notified by the SWMD, in
writing, If and when any such change in measurement methodology is made by the
County.
(3) Record Keeoina and Reoortina Reaulrements. The Operations
Contractor will provide SWMD with a monthly report showing materials and quantities
diverted for each disposal site. The agency will report the diversion as a reduction in
disposal by jurisdiction in the quarterly Disposal Report System (DRS) reports for
landfills and transfer stations. (See Methodology of Allocating Diverted Waste to
Jurisdictions, below).
(4) MethodCiloav of A1locatina Diverted Waste to Jurisdictions.
a. Diversion Allocation Method. The basis for allocating the
diverted material by jurisdiction will be established based on the percent by jurisdiction
of the total Eligible tons for the program. 'Percent of tons in by jurisdiction equals the
tons out by jurisdiction." The allocation will be done as part of the quarterly DRS report
and/or the station summary, and use the same data set.
b. Tons Eliaible for the oroaram. All waste, measured in tons,
from all customers, with the exceptions as shown below (see Section 3.6. (D) (1)
Eligible and Ineligible Tons for more detail):
(i) Loads delivered by front-, rear- and side-loader waste
trucks operated by a permitted /franchised solid waste
hauler.
(II) Waste from a permitted MRF or transfer station.
(Iii) Imported materials including ADC, mulch and
construction materials.
(iv) Disposal system accounts: off-site clean up, Heaps
Peak Transfer, SWM 22 and SWMENG.
(v) Waste from a declared emergency or disaster.
(vi) Specialized accounts, such as law eflforcement.
(vii) Restricted wastes.
c.
AllocatiCinorOcedures.
(I) Parameters:
a. The quarterly DRS data set is used.
P"n.. " nf Q
c
c
c
b. The same diversion data (from the site
operator) is used.
(ii) The County will review operator records/procedures
to assure reasonable accuracy.
(iii) Site diversion procedures and methods for quantifying
the amounts of diversion are acceptable to applicable
regulatory agencies, and are consistent with the DRS
regulations.
(iv) The allocation procedure is the same for every site
but may vary slightly to allow for site specific
conditions/restrictions or operational requirements.
d. Calculation of incomina oroaram tonnaae bv site.
(i) Tonnage from Ineligible loads is removed from the
DRS data set.
(ii) The remaining tonnage is sorted by jurisdiction and is
summed by jurisdiction.
(iii) Total Eligible tons are calculated.
(iv) Each jurisdiction's percent of total Eligible tons is
calculated.
(v) The result is the basis for allocating the site diversion.
e.
Site diversion allocation.
(i) The site operator keeps records of all types of
diversion activities and quantifies, by weight, the type
of material and amount diverted.
0i) Using the percentage developed in Number 1 above,
the total site diversion is allocated by jurisdiction, with
that diversion being shown as a deduction in the
jurisdiction's disposal for the site, in the quarterly DRS
report detail ("Site Diversion").
(iii) Unallocated diversion will be host assigned.
(5) AS 939 FEE. The AS 939 Fee for the first year of the
Comprehensive Disposal Site Diversion Program (CDSDP) is $10.00Iton for all Eligible
tonnage that is categorized as chargeable. The AS 939 Fee will be adjusted annually to
cover the cost.of the CDSDP, and that adjusted annual fee will be effective annually on
the first day of July, beginning July 1, 2008.
The cost of the CDSDP per Eligible ton will fluctuate annually depending
upon the amount of diversion per Eligible ton and the cost for each diverted ton. As the
diversion per Eligible ton increases, the fee will be increased (as more waste will be
diverted and so that, in total, the program will cost more). As the diversion per Eligible
ton decreases, the fee will be decreased (as less waste will be diverted and so that, in
total, the program will cost less). Likewise, to the extent that the cost of diverting a
c
c
c
given ton changes, the cost, in total, of the program will change. Annually, the AS 939
Fee will be adjusted down or up, based upon the cost of the program actually
experienced in the prior year. Excess revenues or excess costs will be rolled into the
next year's AB 939 Fee calculation. See Exhibit "A" for the calculation of the cost for
the first year of the CDSDP.
The AB 939 Fee is a fee set forth in the County Code and, as such, any
adjustment to the annual AB 939 Fee will be subject to the County Board of
Supervisor's ("Board") approval through the Annual Fee Ordinance Approval Process.
After Board approval, the adjusted AS 939 Fee will become effective on the first day of
July, annually. The timeline associated with the Annual Fee Ordinance Approval
Process is subject to change at the sole discretion of the County. The SWMD will
provide to the WDA Cities on an annual basis, in writing, a notice of proposed change to
the AB 939 Fee. It is anticipated that this annual notice of proposed change will be
mailed out to the WDA Cities no later than the end of the month of Ol;lcember; however,
that timeline is subject to any changes which the Board may make, at their sole
discretion, to the timellne associated with the Annual Fee Ordinance Approval Process.
In the event of termination of the City's participation in the COSOP. the County shall no
longer be entitled to charge the AB 939 Fee on Eligible tonnage that is otherwise
considered to be Controllable Waste of the City and, at the same time, such waste will
no longer be processed in the COSDP and the City will receive no diversion credits with
respect to such waste (but City will receive diversion credit, calculated as provided In
this subsection, relative to any Eligible tonnage delivered prior to the date of
termination). .
(6) RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS. The County recognizes its
obligation to operate the CDSDP, but reserves the right to terminate the COSOP, at any
time, for any reason. If the COSDP were to be terminated, the County agrees to notify
the City in writing of such intention to terminate the COSOP sixty (60) days prior to
termination ofthe COSOP.
The City recognizes its obligation to continue its participation in the
COSOP, but reserves the right to terminate Its participation in the COSOP, at any time.
for any reason. If the CIty decides to terminate its participation In the COSOP, the City
agrees to notify the County In writing of such intention to terminate its participation sixty
(60) days prior to termination of its participation in the COSOP.
2. SectiCln 4.1 of the WOA, entitled "CHARGING AND SECURING PAYMENT OF
CONTRACT RATE", is amended by adding a new subparagraph (A), to read:
(A) Eligible Tonnage. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in addition to
paying the Contract Rate, the City shall pay, and the County is authorized to charge and
collect, the AB 939 Fee (as defined in subsection 3.6(0)) on Eligible tonnage (as
defined in section 3.6(D)) that is otherwise considered to be Controllable Waste of the
City provided that such waste is being disposed of at a disposal facliity of the County at
which the COSOP has been implemented.
3. EFFECTIVE DATE.. This Amendment shall be effective the date that the latter of
the County or City have approved this Amendment.

COMPREHENSIVE DISPOSAL SITE DIVERSION PROGRAM
CURRENT AS 939 FEE CALCULATION:
The diversion program targets vehicles not subject to a diversion program prior to
entering a County disposal facility. This excludes nonnal trash trucks and
transfer trucks. Virtually all other vehicles are subject to the AB 939 Fee. When
a vehicle enters a site having a diversion program, no determination of the
amount of divertible material can be made since loads must be covered and
secured while transporting the waste. Therefore, all vehicles that could have
divertible material are charged the AB 939 Fee, even though only a portion of
those vehicles will actually have waste processed for recyclables.
In 2006, a feasibility study was conducted that estimated 606.733 tons of waste
eligible for the diversion program ("Eligible Waste") would be brought into the ten
selected sites in the 2007-2008 fiscal year, with 589,521 tons of that waste being
subject to the AS 939 Fee. Using the information developed by a pilot program
at the San Bemardino Landfill, fifty percent (50%) of the total Eligible Waste
arriving at the sites or 303,169 tons (606,733 tons x 50%), is expected to be
directed to the processing area and fifty percent (50%), or 157,772 tons (303,176
tons x 50%), of the directed waste Is expected to actually be diverted from
disposal.
In 2006, Amendment #25 to the Operations Contract set the rate to be paid
Bumec for diverting waste at $36.10/dlverted ton, to be adjusted annually at the
same rate as the Operations Contract. Thus, the payment expected to be made
to Buntec in the 2007-2008 fiscal year for the diversion program is $5,695,569
(157,772 tons of diverted waste x $36. 1 O/diverted ton). For the SWMD to inspect
the operations, monitor data, and prepare reports an overhead cost of $200,574
Is expected to be incurred. This overhead amount is added to the contractor
payment to arrive at the total 2007-2008 fiscal year program cost of $5,896,143
($5.695,569 + $200,574).
To determine the AS 939 Fee for the 2007-2008 fiscal year, the total program
cost is divided by the amount of chargeable tons resulting In the current rate of
$10.00/ton ($5.896,143/589,521 tons). As explained below, for future year AS
939 Fee calculations actual cost carry-over expenses will be added to, or actual
revenue carry-over surpluses will be subtracted from. the fiscal year's cost.
Therefore, the 2007-2008 fiscal year cost carry-over. or revenue carry-over, will
be applied to the 2009-2010 fiscal year cost.
FUTURE AS 939 FEE CALCULATIONS:
The CDSDP is an actual cost program. Future AB 939 Fee calculations will be
based on the following formula:

Contractor's payment + Estimated overhead cost = fiscal year's cost
Fiscal year's cost + Actual prior year cost carry-over, or - Actual prior year
revenue carry-over = Estimated program cost.
Estimated program cost /Estimated chargeable tons = revised AS 939 Fee.
Example #1: calculated with an actual prior year cost carry-over
Estimated diverted tons increase 3% (157,772 x 1.03 = 162,505)
Adjusted contractor payment per ton increase 1% ($36.10 x 1.01 = $36.46)
Estimated overhead cost decrease 15% ($200,574 x 0.85 = $170,488)
Actual carry-over cost = $74,500
Estimated chargeable tons increase 5% (589,521 x 1.05 = 618,997)
Calculation
C 162,505 x $36.46 = $5,924,932 contractor's payment
$5,924,932 + $170,488 = $6,095,420 fiscal year's cost
$6,095,420 + $74,500 = $6,169,920 estimated program cost
$6,169,920/618,997 = $9.97/ton revised AS 939 Fee
Example #2: calculated with an actual prior year revenue carry-over
Estimated diverted tons increase 3% (157,772 x 1.03 = 162,505) .
Adjusted contractor payment per ton increase 1 % ($36.10 x 1.01 = $36.46)
Estimated overhead cost decrease 15% ($200,574 x 0.85 = $170,488)
Actual prior year carry-over revenue surplus = $74,500
Estimated chargeable tons Increase 5% (589,521 x 1.05 = 618,997)
Calculation
162,505 x $36.46 = $5,924,932 contractor's payment
$5,924,932 + $170,488 = $6,095,420 fiscal year's cost
$6,095,420. $74,500 = $6,020,920 estimated program cost
$6,020,920/618,997 = $9.73/ton revised AS 939 Fee

COMPREHENSIVE DISPOSAL SITE DIVERSION PROGRAM
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
Without the City of San Bernardino's participation, the CDSDP is expected
to produce 38,307 Eligible Tons from self-haul customers from San Bernardino
resulting in a diversion credit to San Bernardino of 9.960 tons at a cost to the
self-haul customers of $372,362.
With the City of San Bernardino's participation, the CDSDP is expected to
produce an additional 42,133 Eligible Tons from roll-offs and City owned vehicles
resulting in an additional diversion credit to San Bernardino of 10,955 tons at an
additional cost of $409,632. Included in the $409,632, is out-of-pocket City
expenses of $69,500 for City owned vehicles.
Therefore, with the City of San Bernardino's participation, the CDSDP is
expected to produce a total of 80,440 Eligible Tons and a total diversion credit to
San Bernardino of 20,915 tons. Total seIf-haul and roll-off customer cost is
expected to be $ 712,495 and out-of-pocket City expense is expected to be
$69,500.
Please note that all calculations for the City of San Bernardino are from tonnages
prior to the implementation of the Colton Transfer Station, and do not include any
impact resulting from the use ofthe transfer station.

EXHIBIT "A"
AMENDMENT NO.3
TO
WASTE DELIVERY AGREEMENT
On 12/16/97 , the City of San Bemardino ("CityN) and the County of San
Bemardino ("County") entered into a Waste Delivery Agreement (the "WDA") which is
hereby amended as of this ~ day of FEBRUARY, 200L ("Amendment No.3).
RECITALS
A. The County owns, manages and operates a sanitary landfill system for the
disposal of municipal solid waste generated in the unincorporated area within the
County and which it has made available for the disposal of municipal solid waste
generated within the cities located within the County (the "Disposal System"). The
Disposal System currently includes ten (10) major facilities: six (6) active landfills and
four (4) Transfer Stations.
Landfill:
Victorville Sanitary Landfill
Barstow Sanitary Landfill
Landers Sanitary Landfill
Colton Sanitary Landfill
San Timoteo Sanitary Landfill
Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill
Transfer Station:
Phelan Transfer Station
Big Bear Transfer Station
Twentynine Palms Transfer Station
Heaps Peak Transfer Station
The Disposal System is used for the disposal of municipal solid waste which is
not composted, reused, recycled, transformed or otherwise diverted from landfill
disposal, pursuant to the Califomia Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (the
"Act") [Division 30 of the Califomia Public Resources Code).
B. In 1989 the state passed AB 939 that required all local jurisdictions to divert
waste from landfill disposal by fifty percent (50%). The County and the cities have
implemented many programs to achieve this state mandated requirement. Most
jurisdictions have achieved diversion in the high forty percent (40%) range; however,
they are short of the fifty percent (50%) requirement. Many solid waste customers
already have a significant portion of their waste diverted either through curbside
recycling programs or at Material Recovery Facilities. However, residential and
commercial self-haul customers who take their solid waste to the disposal facilities have
limited diversion opportunities.
C. The recycling representatives from the County and Cities with Waste Delivery
Agreements (WDA) have requested that the County perform diversion of self-haul waste
at the disposal facilities. In response to this need, the Solid Waste Management
Division (SWMD) has developed a Comprehensive Disposal Site Diversion Program
(CDSDP) to divert this waste. The SWMD financed a pilot program at the Victorivlle
c
c
c
Landfill and has determined that the program is effective in increasing the diversion of
these loads. The program has self-haul vehicles proceed to a load checl<ing station
where the potential for diversion is assessed. Loads that appear to have substantial
divertable materials are sent to the diversion area for processing.. As of November
2006, approximately fifty percent (50%) of the type of loads Identified as being eligible
for the program are directed to the on-site processing area and approximately fifty
percent (50%) of the tonnag~ processed is diverted.
D. The CDSDP, which was recommended by the Local AS 939 Task Force (Solid
Waste Advisory Taskforce/SWAT) on October 18, 2006, will expand the existing
diversion program to the ten major facilities operated by the County (See Recital A
above). The recently completed amendment to the Operations Contract with the
Operations Contractor facilitates the implementation of the expansion of the onsite
CDSDP throughout the system; specifically requiring such services to be provided by
the operator and setting out an agreed upon first year cost for such services of $36.10
per ton of diverted material.
E. To finance the CDSDP, an AS 939 Fee will be charged to self-haul customers.
Regular trash trucks and transfer trucks will not be charged the fee, because these
vehicles deliver waste that has already been subject to a diversion program. Eligible
tonnage to be charged the AS 939 Fee is waste brought to the disposal site by self-
haulers, commercial (non-franchised and non-permitted haulers), all county and city roll-
offs (roll-ofts either controlled or hauled by the county/city) and other county and city
owned vehicles. Eligible tonnage that will not be charged a fee Is waste brought to a
disposal site from a community clean-up program, waste brought to a disposal site on a
free dump day, and waste picked up by the Operations Contractor for off-site clean-up
one-quarter mile around a disposal site. The AS 939 Fee is set at a price sufficient to
cover the cost of diversion for both of the proceeding categories of Eligible tonnage.
However, Eligible tonnage that is considered to be Controllable Waste of the City
within the meaning of this WDA is entitled to be disposed of on payment only of the
Contract Rate (pursuant to section 4.1). On the other hand, such tonnage is not entitled
to participate in a program such as the CDSDP, pursuant to the provisions of section
3.6. The purpose of this amendment Is to authorize the County to charge the AS 939
Fee on Eligible tonnage that is otherwise considered to be Controllable Waste of the
City and, at the same time, to allow that such waste be processed in the CDSDP.
F. On January 9, 2007, the Board of Supervisor's (the .Supervisors") of the County
approved the expansion of the CDSDP to the ten (10) major facilities in the County
Disposal System, as listed in Recital A above. The Supervisors also approved the AS
939 Fee which will be implemented relative to Eligible tonnage at each disposal site
concurrently with the start-up of the CDSDP at the given disposal site.
NOW THEREFORE, inconsideration of the forgoing recitals and the following
covenants and promises the parties agree as follows:
1. Section 3.6. COUNTY PROVISION OF THE WASTE DIVERSION SERVICES
shall be amended by adding the following:
P..nA ? nf Q
c
c
(D) Comorehensive Disoosal Site Diversion Proaram (CDSDP).
Effective with the approval of this Amendment, the City agrees to become a participant in
the County's Comprehensive Disposal Site Diversion Program ("CDSDP"). The CDSDP
will be funded through the AB 939 Fee. The CDSDP may be expanded, contracted or
modified by the County at any time in Its sole discretion.
The CDSDP will target all self-haul and commercial vehicles, county/city
roll-offs, and other county/city owned vehicles bringing waste to the disposal site. A
load reviewer will interview drivers and review every load and identify those loads with
the potential for diversion. Those loads will be sent to the on-site diversion area for
processing. Loads will be dumped at the sorting area where a combination of manual
and mechanical means will be used to sort inert waste, fines waste, wood waste, metal
waste, green waste and tires. The diverted materials will be stockpiled for additional
processing or later use. The operator will regularly quantify the weight of the material
diverted. By design, the program can add or delete diverted materials based on a
material's "divertability", although the core materials are expected to remain the same.
The weight of the diverted materials will be allocated In proportion to the percent of
Eligible tons brought In by jurisdiction of origin on a slte-by-site basis
(1) Eliaible and Inelloible Tons. The CDSDP classifies all
materials coming into a disposal site as Eligible or Ineligible tonnage.
Eligible tonnage is waste that is not subject to a recycling program prior to
arriving at the disposal site. Ineligible tonnage has been subject to a recycling program
or is classified as restricted waste or non-waste material.
Eligible tonnage to be charged the AS 939 Fee is waste brought to the
disposal site by self-haulers, commercial (non-franchised and non-permitted haulers),
all County and city roll-offs and other County and city owned vehicles. Eligible tonnage
that will not be charged a fee is waste brought to a disposal site from a community
clean-up program, waste brought to a disposal site on a free dump day, and waste
picked up by the Operations Contractor for off-site clean-up one-quarter mile around a
disposal site
c
Ineligible tonnage is waste from all franchised and permitted waste
haulers, including cities with Waste Delivery Agreements that haul their own waste,
using a front-, rear-, or side-loading refuse vehicle (packer truck), and waste from a
Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) or transfer station including Article 19 and Miele 20
waste, and Processed Green Material. Ineligible tonnage also includes cover soil,
altematlve daily cOver, alternative Intermediate cover, landfill construction materials,
septic and sludge, reStricted waste such as animal and fowl carcasses, and declared
emergency and disaster debris.
(2) Diverted Material Measurement Standards. All measurement
standards will be consistent with the State of CarJfornia disposalreporttng regUlations.
a. Metals: Outgoing metals will be weighed across Solid Waste
Management Division ("SWMD") scales with a record of outgoing net weight retained in
P~nA ':l nf Q
c
the SWMD database. The Operations Contractor shall submit weights for all metal
materials removed from disposal sites.
b. Tires: Outgoing tires will be weighed across SWMD scales
with record of outgoing net weight retained in the SWMD database. The Operations
Contractor shall submit weights for all tires removed from disposal sites.
c. MIxed Recvclables (or secarated bv tvoe. e.o.. olass. clastic.
cacer. etc.): Outgoing mixed or other separated recyclables will be weighed across
SWMD scales, with a record of outgoing net weight retained in the SWMD database.
The Operations Contractor shall submit weights for all recyclables removed from
disposal sites.
c
d. Wood waste and Processed Wood/Green Material:
Following wood waste processing, Processed Wood/Green Material (PGM) will be
loaded into site self-loading scraper (fully loaded with PGM only). The Operations
Contractor shall maintain a daily log indicating the number of all PGM scraper loads
used at each facility each day. The log will include scraper model and identification
number used to transport materials. Approximately every 20th load, and a minimum of
two loads each day, the PGM will be offloaded from the scraper onto compacted level
earthen area. PGM material only will be reloaded into roll-off boxes and weighed at the
site SWMD scale in accordance with vehiclelbox weight procedures. The truck and box
numbers used to weigh the sample loads will be recorded in the daily log. The average
net weight determined from the sample loads weighed will be the weight used for each
load not weighed. The County retains the right to weigh any or ail loads of PGM.
e. Screened Fines: Following processing, Processed Screened
Fines will be loaded into site self-loading scraper (fully loaded with Screened Fines
only). The Operations Contractor shall maintain a daily log indicating the number of all
Screened Fines scraper loads used at e~ch facility each day. The log will include
scraper model and identification number used to transport materials. Approximately
every 20th load, and a minimum of two loads each day, the Screened Fines wiil be
offloaded from the scraper onto compacted level earthen area, Screened Fines
material only will be reloaded into roll-off boxes and weighed at the site SWMD scale in
accordance with vehiclelbox weight procedures. The truck and box numbers used to
weigh the sample loads will be recorded In the dally log. The average net weight
determined from the sample loads weighed will be the weight used for each load not
weighed. The County retains the right to weigh any or all loads of Screened Fines.
,.....
\.."
f. Inerts: Inert stockpiles shail be surveyed monthly. The
SWMD wiil be advised of survey date and time, and may attend the stockpile survey.
Stockpile volume Information will be provided to the SWMD by the 15th of each month.
Average weight or density of material wiil be determined by the SWMD. This weight or
density will be used in determining stockpile tonnage. Weight records will be retained
and filed by the SWMD.
g. Household HA7.ardous Waste/Universal Waste (HHWIUW);
As waste is sorted out at the diversion area, It is likely that a large volume of HHWIUW
will be separated from the waste stream and require processing. The additional costs of
Page 40f9
c
c
c
increased HHW/UW separated by the CDSDP will be paid for from the savings in the
recent contract amendment with the landfill Operations Contractor.
h. Other Materials: Based on incoming waste stream
concentrations, end-use markets availability, regulatory mandates, and recovery costs,
other materials may be targeted for diversion by the program. Appropriate
measurement procedures "'fill be established to quantify the amount being diverted by
jurisdiction of origin. The procedures shall be consistent with state regulations and
reporting requirements.
i. Measurement Methodology. Measurement methodology
may be changed, at the sole discretion of the County, to promote a more effective or
efficient method of measurement. The WDA Cities will be notified by the SWMD, In
writing, if and when any such change in measurement methodology Is made by the
County.
(3) Record Keeoina and Reoortina Reauirements. The Operations
Contractor will provide SWMD with a monthly report showing materials and quantities
diverted for each disposal site. The agency will report the diversion as a reduction in
disposal by jurisdiction in the quarterly Disposal Report System (DRS) reports for
landfills and transfer stations. (See Methodology of Allocating Diverted Waste to
Jurisdictions, below).
(4) Methodbloav of Allocatina Diverted Waste to Jurisdictions.
a. Diversion Allocation Method. The basis for allocating the
diverted material. by jurisdiction will be. established based on the pereant by jurisdiction
of the total Eligible tons for the program. .Pereant of tons in by jurisdiction equals the
tons out by jUrisdiction.' The allocation will be done as part of the quarterly DRS report
and/or the station summary, and use the same data set.
b. Tons Eliaible for the oroaram. All waste, measured In tons,
from all customers, with the exceptions as shown below (see Section 3.6. (D) (1)
ElIgible and Ineligible Tons for more detail): .
(I) Loads delivered by front-, rear- and side-loader waste
trucks operated by a permitted /franchised solid waste
hauler.
(Ii) Waste from a permitted MRF or transfer station.
(iii) Imported materials including ADC, mulch and
construction materials.
(Iv) Disposal system accounts: off-site clean up, Heaps
Peak Transfer, SWM 22 and SWMENG.
(v) Waste from a declared emergency or disaster.
(vi) Specialized accounts, such as law enforcement.
(vii) Restricted wastes.
c.
Allocatibnorbcedures.
(I) Parameters:
a. The quarterly DRS data set is used.
D....__ ~ _zn
c
b. The same diversion data (from the site
operator) is used.
(il) The County will review operator records/procedures
to assure reasonable accuracy.
(iii) Site diversion procedures and methods for quantifying
the amounts of diversion are acceptable to applicable
regulatory agencies, and are consistent with the DRS
regulations.
(iv) The allocation procedure is the same for every site
but may vary slightly to allow for site specific
conditions/restrictions or operational requirements.
d. Calculation of incomino orooram tonnaoe by site.
(i) Tonnage from Ineligible loads is removed from the
DRS data set.
(Ii) The remaining tonnage is sorted by jurisdiction and is
summed by jurisdiction.
(iii) Total Eligible tons are calculated.
(iv) Each jurisdiction's percent of total Eligible tons is
calculated.
(v) The result is the basis for allocating the site diversion.
c
e.
Site diversion allocation.
(i) The site operator keeps records of all types of
diversion activities and quantifies, by weight, the type
of material and amount diverted.
(Ii) Using the percentage developed in Number 1 above,
the total site diversion is allocated by jurisdiction, with
that diversion being shown as a deduction in the
jurisdiction's disposal for the site, in the quarterly DRS
report detail ("Site Diversion").
(Iii) Unallocated diversion will be host assigned.
c
(5) AS 939 FEE. The AS 939 Fee for the first year of the
Comprehensive Disposal Site Diversion Program (CDSDP) is $10.00/ton for all Eligible
tonnage that is categorized as chargeable. The AS 939 Fee will be adjusted annually to
cover the cost of the CDSDP, and that adjusted annual fee will be effective annually on
the first day of July, beginning July 1, 2008.
The cost of the CDSDP per Eligible ton will fluctuate annually depending
upon the amount of diversion per Eligible ton and the cost for each diverted ton. As the
diversion per Eligible ton increases, the fee will be increased (as more waste will be
diverted and so that, in total, the program will cost more). As the diversion per Eligible
ton decreases, the fee will be decreased (as less waste will be diverted and so that, in
total, the program will cost less). Likewise, to the extent that the cost of diverting a
c
given ton changes, the cost, in total, of the program will change. Annually, the AB 939
Fee will be adjusted down or up, based upon the cost of the program actually
experienced in the prior year. Excess revenues or excess costs will be rolled into the
next year's AB 939 Fee calculation. See Exhibit "A" for the calculation of the cost for
the first year of the CDSDP.
c
The AB 939 Fee Is a fee set forth in the County Code and, as such, any
adjustment to the annual AB 939 Fee will be subject to the County Board of
Supervisor's ("Board") approval through the Annual Fee Ordinance Approval Process.
After Board approval, the adjusted AB 939 Fee will become effective on the first day of
July, annually. The timeline associated with the Annual Fee Ordinance Approval
Process is subject to change at the sole discretion of the County. The SWMD will
provide to the WDA Cities on an annual basis, in writing, a notice of proposed change to
the AB 939 Fee. It is anticipated that this annual notice of proposed change will be
mailed out to the WDA Cities no later than the end of the month of December; however,
that timeline is subject to any changes which the Board may make, at their sole
discretion, to the timeline associated with the Annual Fee Ordinance Approval Process.
In the event of termination of the City's participation In the CDSDP, the County shall no
longer be entitled to charge the AS 939 Fee on Eligible tonnage that Is otherwise
considered to be Controllable Waste of the City and, at the same time, such waste will
no longer be processed in the CDSDP and the City will receive no diversion credits with
respect to such waste (but City will receive diversion credit, calculated as provided In
this subsection, relative to any Eligible tonnage delivered prior to the date of
termination).
(6) RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS. The County recognizes its
obligation to operate the CDSDP, but reserves the right to terminate the CDSDP, at any
time, for any reason. if the CDSDP were to be terminated, the County agrees to notify
the City in writing of such intention to terminate the CDSDP sixty (60) days prior to
termination ofthe CDSDP.
c
The City recognizes Its obligation to continue its participation in the
CDSDP, but reserves the right to terminate Its participation in the CDSDP, at any time,
for any reason. if the City decides to terminate its participation in the CDSDP, the City
agrees to notify the County In writing of such intention to terminate Its participation sixty
(60) days prior to termination of its participation in the CDSDP.
2. Section 4.1 of the WDA, entitled "CHARGING AND SECURING PAYMENT OF
CONTRACT RATE", is amended by adding a new subparagraph (A), to read:
(A) Eligible Tonnage. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in addition to
paying the Contract Rate, the City shall pay, and the County is authorized to charge and
collect, the AS 939 Fee (as defined in subsection 3.6(D)) on Eligible tonnage (as
defined in section 3.6(D)) that Is otherwise considered to be Controllable Waste of the
City provided that such waste is being disposed of at a disposal facility of the County at
which the CDSDP has been implemented.
3. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Amendment shall be effective the date that the latter of
the County or City have approved this Amendment.

COMPREHENSIVE DISPOSAL SITE DIVERSION PROGRAM
CURRENT AS 939 FEE CALCULATION:
The diversion program targets vehicles not subject to a diversion program prior to
entering a County disposal facility. This excludes normal trash trucks and
transfer trucks. Virtually all other vehicles are subject to the AB 939 Fee. When
a vehicle enters a site having a diversion program, no determination of the
amount of divertible material can be made since loads must be covered and
secured while transporting the waste. Therefore, all vehicles that could have
divertible material are charged the AB 939 Fee. even though only a portion of
those vehicles will actually have waste processed for recyclables.
In 2006, a feasibility study was conducted that estimated 606.733 tons of waste
eligible for the diversion program ("Eligible Waste") would be brought into the ten
selected sites in the 2007-2008 fiscal year, with 589,521 tons of that waste being
subject to the AS 939 Fee. Using the information developed by a pilot program
at the San Bernardino Landfill, fifty percent (50%) of the total Eligible Waste
arriving at the sites or 303,169 tons (606,733 tons x 50%), is expected to be
directed to the processing area and fifty percent (50%), or 157,772 tons (303.176
tons x 50%), of the directed waste is expected to actually be diverted from
disposal.
In 2006, Amendment #25 to the Operations Contract set the rate to be paid
Burrtec for diverting waste at $36.10/diverted ton, to be adjusted annually at the
same rate as the Operations Contract. Thus, the payment expected to be made
to Bumec in the 2007-2008 fiscal year for the diversion program is $5,695,569
(157,772 tons of diverted waste x $36.10/dlverted ton). For the SWMD to Inspect
the operations, monitor data, and prepare reports an overtlead cost of $200,574
is expected to be Incurred. This overtlead amount is added to the contractor
payment to arrive at the total 2007-2008 fiscal year program cost of $5,896.143
($5,695,569 + $200,574).
To determine the AS 939 Fee for the 2007-2008 fiscal year, the total program
cost Is divided by the amount of chargeable tons resulting in the cUrrent rate of
$10.00/ton ($5.896,143 /589,521 tons). As explained below, for future year AS
939 Fee calculations actual cost carry-over expenses will be added to, or actual
revenue carry-over surpluses will be subtracted from. the fiscal year's cost.
Therefore, the 2007-2008 fiscal year cost carry-over, or revenue carry-over, will
be applied to the 2009-2010 fiscal year cost.
FUTURE AB 939 FEE CALCULATIONS:
The CDSDP is an actual cost program. Future AB 939 Fee calculations will be
based on the following formula:
c
c
c
ATTACHMENT A
Page 2 of 2
Estimated diverted tons x Adjusted contractor payment per ton = contractor's
payment
Contractor's payment + Estimated overhead cost = fiscal year's cost
Fiscal year's cost + Actuii prior year cost carry-over, or - Actual prior year
revenue carry-over = Estimated program cost.
Estimated program cost /Estimated chargeable tons = revised AS 939 Fee.
Example #1: calculated with an actual prior year cost carry-over
Estimated diverted tons increase 3% (157,772 x 1.03 = 162,505)
Adjusted contractor payment per ton increase 1% ($36.10 x 1.01 = $36.46)
Estimated overhead cost decrease 15% ($200,574 x 0.85 = $170,488)
Actual carry-over cost = $74,500
Estimated chargeable tons increase 5% (589,521 x 1.05 = 618,997)
Calculation
162,505 x $36.46 = $5,924,932 contractor's payment
$5,924,932 + $170,488 = $6,095,420 fiscal year's cost
$6,095,420 + $74,500 = $6,169,920 estimated Pl'9gram cost
$6,169,920/618,997 = $9.97/ton revised AS 939 Fee
Example #2: calculated with an actual prior year revenue carry-over
Estimated diverted tons increase 3% (157,772 x 1.03 = 162,505)
Adjusted contractor payment per ton increase 1% ($36.10 x 1.01 = $36.46)
Estimated overhead cost decrease 15% ($200,574 x 0.85 = $170,488)
Actual prior year carry-over revenue surplus = $74,500
Estimated chargeable tons Increase 5% (589,521 x 1.05 = 618,997)
Calculation
162,505 x $36.46 = $5,924,932 contractor's payment
