The addendum approved in June 2007 opened the hazardous waste program to qualifying small <br />businesses, non-profits, and local governments in Orange County for management and disposal <br />of hazardous waste with services paid for by the County. Since the inception of the County- <br />funded Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) program the County has <br />served more than 400 qualifying commercial generators and has managed more than 100,000 <br />Ibs of commercial hazardous waste that very likely would have been managed inappropriately <br />had this service not been available. <br />This proposed addendum engages ECOFLO for the two-year extension through June 2011 that <br />was allowed for in the addendum approved two years ago. In an effort to control program costs <br />the addendum also allows for latex paint received by the program and cannot be repurposed <br />locally through the County's locally operated paint exchange to be managed through Waste to <br />Energy methods. This will occur instead of requiring the latex paint be recycled. No further <br />changes are proposed. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total projected cost of this contract for FY 2009-2010 is $178,000. <br />This amount is included in the proposed Solid Waste Management Departmental Budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the Household <br />Hazardous Waste Contract Addendum with ECOFLO, Inc. and authorize the Chair to sign the <br />contract addendum pending approval of the FY 2009-10 Budget. <br />
