SUBJEC~ RESOLUTION NO. 95-03 AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF AN
APPLICATION FOR CALIFORNIA USED OIL RECYCLING GRANT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 95-03
authorizing the application for State grant funds to establish and 4
maintain a used oil recycling program.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Ail fees
for program development and management payable under this agreement
will be paid from grant monies received.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The California Recycling Enhancement Act of 1991 establishes and
provides grant funding for programs that increase the proper
collection and recycling of used oil. One of these programs is the
California Used Oil Recycling Opportunity Grants Program for Local
Governments.
The purpose of this program is to provide one time funding to local
governments for establishing used oil collection programs and
locally based used oil collection centers. Applicants must
demonstrate that they currently or will have at least one certified
used oil collection center for every 100,000 residents not serviced
by curbside used oil collection.
The City of Tustin does not have curbside collection of Used oil.
Presently, residents are encouraged to take their used oil to one
of the County's drop-off centers or to one of the non-certified or
newly certified collection centers that exist in the area. The
City contracted with ORICOM during the laSt grant cyCle and was
successful in obtaining grant funds. These funds were utilized to
certify used oil Collection centers in Tustin, as well as provide
equipment for the collection of the oil and emergency spills clean-
up. There are now three fully operational collection centers in
Tustin. If the City is successful in obtaining the grant funding,
the number of local collection centers for used oil will be further
increased in Tustin's immediate area.
In addition, current public education efforts will be expanded and
will focus on decreasing illegal dumping of used oil into the
landfills, storm drains, and sewer systems. These programs
facilitate compliance with the National Pollutant Drainage
Elimination System (NPDES) program, as well as compliance with
AB939, the California Integrated Waste Management Act.
For this grant cycle, staff is recommending approval to authorize
Great Western. Reclamation (GWR) to prepare and submit the
application on the City's behalf. As GWR is our contracted waste
hauler, this program will enhance the City's existing recycling and
public education efforts. Development and submittal of the grant
will be at no cost to the City and, should the application be
successful, all program implementation costs will be paid for with
grant funds.
CONCLUSION
To proceed with the development of the grant application, adoption
of Resolution No. 95-03 approving the submittal of an application
for State grant monies and --approval for GWR to submit the
application and implement the program is required. As stated
above, there is no cost to the City for this program.
