CIWMB Electronic Annual Report Help

Section C: Instructions

• Click on the program name or code to show program details and complete the program update.
• Edit each program until all of the asterisks (*) disappear from the ''Program Update Incomplete'' column.
• Select the ''Add New Programs” link, at the bottom of the page, to inform the Board about new diversion programs implemented by your jurisdiction during the report year.
• If there are programs that were implemented prior to this reporting year, but which do not appear in your PARIS listing below, enter those as ''new'' programs.
• To delete a new program added by mistake, open the details for that program, scroll to the bottom, and select the ''Delete'' button.

Program Detail Help/Instructions

• The default setting for program status code is the previous year's status code. If the program status changed during the report year, change the code. If not, no action is necessary. You may not edit previous years’ status codes. Your code choices are limited to those codes which make sense based on the current status code. For instance, a SO (selected, operating) always follows an SI (selected, implemented), but cannot follow an AI (alternative, implemented)
• Any program which is SI in one year becomes SO in the next. Any program which is AI in one year becomes AO (alternative, operating) in the next.
• If you enter a status code of D (dropped), you must also enter one or more reason codes.
• If your jurisdiction dropped a program in a previous year, but the EAR indicates the program is still operating. insert the 'D' code, a reason code, and discuss the year and the circumstances in the notes. The DE (dropped earlier) code is only for programs previously recorded as D.
• Do not select a reason code for any program that does not have a report year status code of D or NI (not implemented).
• Please select one or more target sectors, even for a program that was dropped.
• Indicate whether your jurisdiction owns or operates the program. If it does, enter the report year tonnage. If tonnage information is not available, enter N/A (you must include the /). Indicate who owns and operates the program in the notes. Complete this information even if the program was dropped.
• Please add any new information about the program to the program notes. Previous year’s notes are not editable and will not be overwritten by new notes.
• Navigate the program details for your diversion programs using the "jump to" menu or by the previous/next buttons. All of these are located at the bottom of the page. No matter which method you choose, your information will be saved.
• An update of an existing program is completed:

• For a program not owned and operated by the jurisdiction, by opening the program detail page, viewing the information, then moving to the next program. Additions to notes are appreciated but not required. You may add or remove target sectors as appropriate.
• For a program owned and operated by the jurisdiction, by opening the program detail page and entering tonnage information or N/A (you must include the /). Additions to notes are appreciated but not required. You may add or remove target sectors as appropriate.

Add New Program Help/Instructions

• Select the program name from the drop-down list. If you do not see a program name which fits the new program, contact your local assistance staff  representative.
• Indicate whether the program existed prior to 1990.
• Indicate whether the program was selected in your jurisdiction’s Source Reduction and Recycling Element.
• Indicate whether your jurisdiction owns or operates the program and, if so, the tonnage diverted.
• Select a valid start year.
• Select one or more target sectors.
• Describe the new program. If the jurisdiction does not own/operate the program, indicate who does.
• To delete a new program added by mistake, go to the program details for that page and select the delete button at the bottom of the page.

Definitions

These are codes used in the PARIS database to identify different categories of programs.

Selected In SRRE: This program was selected to be implemented in the Source Reduction and Recycling Element. Use (SO) if the program was selected and is ongoing from a previous year, and (SI) if the program was selected and was implemented during the current reporting year.

Alternative program: A program that was implemented but was not selected to be implemented in the Source Reduction and Recycling Element. Use (AO) if the program was not selected and is ongoing from a previous year and (AI) if the program was not selected and was implemented during the current reporting year.

Target Sector: Those components of the waste stream which the selected program is intended to serve. Programs may be designed to serve one, several or all waste stream sectors.

Program Start Date: Refers to the earliest date that the program was operating (use the earliest date for multiple programs under the same category). For example, program code 5020 (outreach): You implemented an awards program for exceptional waste diversion efforts in 1995, and a program that offered free waste audits for businesses in 1992. The date entered would be 1992.

Jurisdiction owned and operated:  A program either run by the jurisdiction directly, through staff, or run by the jurisdiction through a contract or franchise agreement. Includes programs where the primary activity is educating the public, such as backyard composting or in-school programs.

Status Code: A PARIS database code indicating whether the jurisdiction selected the program in its planning documents, and whether the jurisdiction operated the program during the specific report year. This includes programs that were not selected in the SRRE but were implemented.

Status Code "M": Represents "program implementation status unknown". This code holds a place in the PARIS database for the status codes for programs run by a regional agency that formed during the previous year. Be sure to enter the correct report-year status code for each program coded "M". Contact your local assistance staff representative if you need assistance

Reason Code: A PARIS database code indicating the reason a program was not implemented or dropped.

Program Code:  A PARIS database code which groups diversion programs by component type (i.e. source reduction, recycling, composting) but is unique to specific programs. For more detail, please see the PARIS Program codes Glossary.

Existed:  Program that became operational before 1990.

Taxable sales data

Final Board of Equalization taxable sales data for each quarter is typically not available in time for the release of the diversion rate calculator and the filing of annual reports. Typically, the CIWMB estimates taxable sales for the fourth quarter, based on the percentage change between the third and fourth quarter during the previous year. Due to exceptional economic circumstances, the CIWMB waited for actual fourth quarter taxable sales data from BoE for the 2001 Annual Report.

Alternate Daily Cover (ADC) Advisory

DRS tonnages reflect Board action on ADC agenda item #23 presented at the July 26, 2001 Board meeting. DRS tonnages may be subject to additional changes resulting from further investigation of ADC issues.
