Board-Approved Templates for Disposal Tonnage Modification, Certifications and Other Reporting Guidelines

The Board's Local Assistance and Market Development staff has developed a series of templates to assist jurisdictions when claiming changes to Board-approved base year disposal or diversion amounts, when claiming changes to reporting-year disposal amounts, preparing a new model source reduction and recycling element (SRRE). These templates assist the Board in evaluating jurisdictions' claims in a systematic and consistent manner. Below each template name is an explanation for when it should be used.

Old templates are no longer accepted; please recycle them!

• Model Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) Guidelines. The jurisdiction may follow the guidelines and the Board's Model Source SRRE Template (Excel 2000, 199 KB), designed for use by either a newly incorporated city that needs to submit a SRRE, or by a jurisdiction that needs to revise its SRRE.

  Note: If you are a newly incorporated city or are a jurisdiction that is joining or leaving a Regional Agency, please contact your LAMD representative to determine what you would need to submit and to determine how your 50% equivalent per capita disposal target will be calculated.

• New Base Year Guidelines and New Base Year: Generation study does not include extrapolation (MS Excel, 213 KB) Template. A jurisdiction uses this template when requesting to change its Board-approved base year to a more current year, or when submitting a generation study to calculate an annual diversion rate and none of the diversion tonnage was based on extrapolation.

  Note: With the implementation of SB 1016, the Per Capita Disposal Measurement System, the Board will only accept new base year studies commenced prior to June 30, 2008. A jurisdiction may conduct a generation study for internal review purposes; however, the Board will not review it for compliance determination.

• Five-Year CIWMP or RAIWMP Review. The CIWMP or RAIWMP addresses waste management conditions within the respective county or regional agency. It also provides an overview of the actions that will be taken to achieve the diversion requirements of Public Resources Code (PRC), section 41780 and to maintain 15 years disposal capacity. Statute requires that the elements comprising the CIWMP and RAIWMP be reviewed every five years after the original CIWMP or RAIWMP approval date, and revised, if necessary. The Five-Year Review information can be found in the Local Government Library.
• Report-year disposal modification certification (PDF, 510 KB). A jurisdiction uses this template when requesting to change its report-year disposal amount as reported in the Board's Disposal Reporting System (DRS) in order to calculate an annual per capita disposal.
• Petition for Rural reduction requirements provides the following guidelines identifying the information that a jurisdiction should submit to the Board to substantiate its petition for reduced disposal requirements for 2008 (and beyond), as well as other relevant information.
