BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On April 4, 1994, February 6, 1995 and November 20, 1995 the City Council approved successful'
applications to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) for the California Used
Oil Recycling Block Grant Program. At this time, the City may again apply for additional grant funds
to continue the operation of the current program. Previous grants were issued for one year periods.
This grant will be for a period of three years.
The California Recycling Enhancement Act of 1991 establishes and provides grant funding for
programs that increase the proper collection and recycling of used oil. The purpose of this State grant
program is to provide funding to local governments for establishing and maintaining used oil collection
programs and locally based used oil collection centers. This program will remain available through the
year 2000. The grant will also support continued public education efforts which will focus on
decreasing illegal dumping of used oil into landfills, storm drains and sewer systems and encourage the
utilization of the City's new curbside used oil collection program. All programs will assist with
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and AB 939 compliance.
Funding is allocated on a per capita basis. At .31 cents per capita, the City is currently eligible for
approximately $21,000. If the City is successful in obtaining funding for this grant cycle, the number of
local collection centers for used oil will be maintained at the current level (three) and possibly increased
if willing businesses can be recruited. Without continued state fimding, the City could either
discontinue support for the program or continue the program by using City funds and staff.
For the Used Oil Block Grant application, staff believes that the use of a comract firm is crucial to the
success of the program in order to perform day-to-day management of the program and provide
professional and technical support to the businesses which have become involved in various aspects of
this program. Staff recommends the use of the services of Great Western Reclamation because they
are uniquely qualified to continue operation and management of this program. Staff solicited, but did
not receive a proposal from the current program manager. Great Western Reclamation has
successfully submitted several prior applications during previous grant cycles and currently manages a
program for the City of Santa Ana. They have a proven track record of success in developing and
implementing various hazardous waste programs and continue to seek out new and innovative methods
in the areas of oil and hazardous material recycling and disposal.
Development and submittal of the grant application will be completed at no cost to the City. If the
application is successful, Great Western Reclamation will be responsible for operating and managing
the City's used oil program, and all program costs will be paid from grant funds, as has been done in the
past.
To proceed with the development of the grant application, a resolution approving an application for
State grant funds and authorizing the use of Great Western Reclamation for program management is
required.
