USED OIL RECYCLING BLOCK GRANT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
BACKGROUND:
The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act authorizes the California Integrated Waste Management Board CIWMB to issue grants to enhance the collection and recycling of used lubricating oil. Under the Act, Oil manufacturers make a four cent per quart payment on every quart of lubricating oil sold, transferred or imported into California. The Act mandates the CIWMB to use these funds for specified activities that encourage the legal disposal of used lubricating oil. Public Resources Code 48653 specifically authorizes the CIWMB to issue block grants to local governments for the establishment of new programs or the enhancement of existing programs that address the proper management of used oil. This is also considered a best management practice related to NPDES permit requirements.
ANALYSIS:
The funds obtained from the Grant Program will be used for publicity and education, including the development, printing and distribution of publicity and education materials related to used oil recycling and the promotion of near by disposal facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is expected to be negligible fiscal impact for the city. The amount of funds available to the City through this grant is a maximum of $5,797.00 (based on the City population).
