3 <br />To: John Link, Manager <br />From: Gayle Wilson, Solid Waste Director <br />Date: March 16, 2006 <br />Re: RRMO Abstract Clarification <br />At the March 15 Work Session the BOCC requested additional information regarding <br />the recommended amendments to the Regulated Recyclable Materials Ordinance. <br />Below we have provided additional comments for each corresponding bullet in the <br />abstract. <br />A clarification that a certification issued to a recycling facility is assignable to a new <br />owner of the facility with the permission of the Solid Waste Department, which <br />permission may be reasonably withheld, such as when the new owner does not or <br />cannot meet the standards of the ordinance. <br />This clarification is necessary to allow transfer of ownership for certified <br />recycling facilities without interrupting the ability of the facility to take <br />regulated recyclable materials from Orange County. The certification is <br />assignable only if the facility does not substantially change recycling <br />processes. If substantial changes are made, then the facility must go thru the <br />certification process again. <br />• An addition of an ordinance - mandated monthly reporting requirement for certified <br />recycling facilities. This requirement had previously been placed in the terms and <br />conditions section of the certification application. <br />This addition is necessary to give the Solid Waste staff a regulatory method to <br />cite a certified facility should the facility fail to provide monthly reports <br />detailing containers delivered to the facility. These reports are vital to policing <br />the RRMO and have not always been forwarded to our staff on a timely basis. <br />• A clarification that licensed haulers must provide an annual report and specifics of <br />the report. <br />This is a clarification for an existing requirement that details what information <br />is necessary to fulfill the reporting requirement. <br />• An addition that states the responsibilities of the Solid Waste enforcement staff in <br />regards to granting and renewing licenses of collectors of Regulated Material. <br />
