CALIFORNIA 92418 August 16, 1994 Tabetha Yandell California Integrated Waste Management Board 8800 Cal Center Drive Sacramento, CA 95826 Re: Letter of Addendum to the City of San Bernardino's Source Reduction and Recycling Element Dear Ms. Yandell: This letter of addendum amends the final draft of the Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) adopted by the Mayor and Common Council on March 2, 1992. The amendment pertains to the selected alternatives listed in the SRRE Recycling and Compost Components (Chapters 4.4 and 5.4 respectively) as described below. These programs will be implemented throughout 1994, 1995, and 1996. RECYCLING COMPONENT PROGRAM SELECTION (CHAPTER 4.4, PAGES 4-25 THROUGH 4-27) · Omit Alternative 4 (Drop Off Centers) and Alternative 5 (Buy Back Centers) and add Alternative 6 (Multifamily Collection). Due to a general decrease in market value and available local outlets for recyclables, drop off and buy back centers will not be used. However, the City will include commingled recycling for multifamily dwellings as its successful pilot residential program is expanded. .citywide. This will provide all residents the opportunity to recycle a maximum variety of materials. . , , · Postpone Alternative 9 (Mechanized Material Recovery) until the Medium Term Planning Period (online for the year 2000) and add Alternative 7 (Commercial/Industrial Collection Programs). ~ on the findings of a regional (East Valley Coalition) study on siting Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), the City is able to defer capital intensive MRF development until the year 2000 in favor of citywide green waste collection for the short term PRIDE -1 ~r_4~SS . Letter of Addendum to the City of San Bernardino's SRRE August 16, 1994 Page 2 planning period (1995). Although citywide green waste collection will be implemented as described in Chapter 5.4, the City will accomplish additional waste diversion through various commercial recycling programs. These may include cardboard, glass, office paper, tires, woodwaste, and demolition waste recycling. COMPOSTlNG COMPONENT PROGRAM SELECTION (CHAPTER 5.4, PAGE 5-13). · Omit Alternative 2 (Drop Off Facility) and Alternative 4 (Regional Composting Facility) and augment Alternative 1 (Greenwaste Collection), Due to the unexpected yet encouraging development of nearby composting and greenwaste operations, the City no longer anticipates developing the centers listed in the original SRRE. The City has successfully implemented a commercial green waste collection program and will provide citywide, residential, automated green waste collection. The City anticipates greater participation and waste diversion through this program as compared to the one originally listed. This is due to the convenience and ease of monitoring with the automated system as opposed to residents furnishing their own bags or containers. The City anticipates meeting the 25% diversion goal once these programs are fully operational during late 1995. Future revision of the SRRE will be done after these and other unchanged programs listed in the SRRE are implemented and adjusted to provide city residents and businesses with efficient solid waste management. Sincerely, Mayor Tom Minor "
