CalRecycle is no longer accepting Notifications of Intent to Comply, as they were due on March 1, 2022.
Jurisdictions were required to implement SB 1383 starting on January 1, 2022. As jurisdictions prepared to implement the law, many local governments faced challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, Governor Newsom signed SB 619 (Laird, Chapter 508, Statutes of 2021) into law to support local governments as they design and implement successful organic waste recycling programs throughout the state. The law authorizes CalRecycle to waive civil penalties if a jurisdiction submits a Notification of Intent to Comply for some or all of the regulatory requirements and successfully implements a plan to correct their violations.
Notification of Intent to Comply
Jurisdictions that were unable to fully implement the regulations due to the COVID-19 pandemic could submit to CalRecycle a Notification of Intent to Comply by March 1, 2022.
CalRecycle may waive administrative civil penalties for the violations if the local jurisdiction implements the actions proposed in the Notification.
If a local jurisdiction fails to adhere to the proposed actions and schedule described in a Notification, then CalRecycle may revoke its approval and impose administrative civil penalties for violations.
Webinars
On January 13, 2022 and November 18, 2021, CalRecycle hosted statewide webinars to explain the Notification of Intent to Comply process. The webinars included a review of a Notification of Intent to Comply form and a question and answer session.
