Board-Approved Disposal or Diversion Tonnage Modification Certification and Other Reporting Guidelines

The Board’s local assistance staff has developed a series of templates to assist jurisdictions when claiming changes to Board-approved base year disposal or diversion amounts, when claiming changes to reporting-year disposal amounts, when using alternate adjustment factors to calculate an annual diversion rate, when a jurisdiction should submit information to the Board to substantiate its biomass diversion claim for 2000 (and beyond), preparing a new model source reduction and recycling element (SRRE) or when establishing a new base year. These templates  assist the Board in evaluating jurisdictions' claims in a systematic and consistent manner. Below each template name is an explanation for when it should be used.

Old templates are no longer accepted; please recycle them!

  • Model Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) Guidelines. The jurisdiction may follow the guidelines and the Board’s Model Source SRRE Template (Microsoft Excel 2000, 199KB), designed for use by either a newly incorporated city that needs to submit a SRRE, or by a jurisdiction that needs to revise its SRRE. 
  • Biomass Guide. The following guidelines include the information a jurisdiction should submit to the Board to substantiate its biomass diversion claim for 2000 (and beyond), as well as other relevant biomass-related information.
  • New Base Year: Generation study includes extrapolation (MS Excel, 93 KB) A jurisdiction uses this template when requesting to change its Board-approved base year to a more current year, or when submitting a generation study to calculate an annual diversion rate and some amount of the diversion tonnage was based on extrapolation.
  • New Base Year Guidelines and New Base Year: Generation study does not include extrapolation (MS Excel, 213 KB) Template: A jurisdiction uses this template when requesting to change its Board-approved base year to a more current year, or when submitting a generation study to calculate an annual diversion rate and none of the diversion tonnage was based on extrapolation.
  • Base-year correction—disposal data (MS Word, 104 KB) A jurisdiction uses this template when requesting to change its base-year disposal amount as reported in the Board’s Disposal Reporting System (DRS). Such a change could be requested when correcting an existing Board-approved base-year disposal amount, or when establishing a new base year and claiming a disposal amount different from the default DRS disposal amount. (When requesting a new base year and requesting a non-DRS disposal tonnage, use this template and a new base year template.) Per Board policy, only base years no more than three calendar years old may be corrected.
  • Base-year correction—diversion data (MS Excel, 81 KB) A jurisdiction uses this template when requesting to change its Board-approved base-year diversion amount previously used to establish a new base year.  Per Board policy, only base years no more than three calendar years old may be corrected.
  • Five-Year CIWMP or RAIWMP Review. The CIWMP or RAIWMP addresses waste management conditions within the respective county or regional agency. It also provides an overview of the actions that will be taken to achieve the diversion requirements of Public Resources Code (PRC), section 41780 and to maintain 15 years disposal capacity. Statute requires that the elements comprising the CIWMP and RAIWMP be reviewed every five years after the original CIWMP or RAIWMP approval date, and revised, if necessary. The Five—Year Review information can be found in the Local Government Library.
  • Report-year disposal modification certification (MS Word, 104 KB) A jurisdiction uses this template when requesting to change its report-year disposal amount as reported in the Board’s Disposal Reporting System (DRS) in order to calculate an annual diversion rate or as part of submitting an annual generation study.
  • Petition for Rural reduction requirements provides the following guidelines identifying the information that a jurisdiction should submit to the Board to substantiate its petition for reduced diversion requirements for 2000 (and beyond), as well as other relevant information.
  • Alternate adjustment factors (Contact your local assistance staff representative)  A jurisdiction uses this template when requesting a "user-defined" adjustment factor to be used when calculating its annual diversion rate.
