View Sanitary District (MVSD) are co- sponsors of the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Facility located in Martinez, California, the first permanent HHW facility in Contra Costa County. The facility's service area encompasses all of central Contra Costa County, with a served population of approximately 462,000 (196,000 households). In 1995, all central Contra Costa County cities', the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority, CCCSD and MVSD resolved to support the establishment of a permanent HHW Collection Facility. Cost efficiency, economies of scale, and broader service capabilities as compared to temporary HHW collection events were recognized as benefits to the participating communities. This agency cooperation and partnership was the critical ingredient in making the HHW Collection Facility a reality, and providing a sound solution to keep hazardous waste out of sanitary sewers, storm drains, and solid waste landfills. The agency partnership agreements provide for reliable, equitable funding of the HHW Collection Program and ensure that HHW collection services are available to all central Contra Costa County residents and eligible businesses. This annual report for fiscal year 2009/10 presents the facility participation levels, and an analysis of the hazardous waste dropped off at the collection facility. The high level of participation and amount of hazardous waste properly managed at the collection facility demonstrates the benefit of the program to both public health and the environment. Clayton, Concord, Danville, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon, Walnut Creek Section 1: Program Summary PROGRAM SUMMARY The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District /Mt. View Sanitary District Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Facility is entering its 13 year of operation. The HHW Collection Program serves all of central Contra Costa County, comprised of 196,020 households, and a population of approximately 462,000. The HHW Program service area has seen steady increases in the number of households over the past 13 years. Program participation has also increased from 7.8 percent of households during the inception year in 1997/98 to an average of 12 percent of households from FY2003/04 through FY2005/06. Participation increased to 13.6 percent in FY2006/07, grew again to 14.5 percent in 2007/08, and in FY 2009/10 the participation level reached 15 percent. The program's sustained participation can be attributed primarily to on -going advertising in CCCSD's Pipeline newsletter, MVSD's newsletter The Mt. View Monitor, and "word of mouth" by residents and businesses. The rise in participation from FY2006/07 to 2009/10 is mainly attributed to an increase in universal waste disposall (defined as fluorescent lamps and household batteries). The number of residential customers served by the program was 29,434 in FY 2009/10, an increase of about 4.4 percent from the previous year (see section 3). Operating Cost The operating cost per car for FY 2009/10 was $76 per car and was unchanged from last year (see Figure 1 -1). The Total Expenses figure was used to calculate the cost per car. The Total Expense includes the cost of the Amortization of Capital Expenditures (see Section 9 Summary of Revenue and Expenses). 1 -1 Although there was not an increase in the cost per car, there were increases in services provided by the HHW Program, including: • A Pharmaceutical Collection Program that funds the collection and disposal of unwanted and expired pharmaceuticals from 11 collection sites in central contra Costa County. (More on the Pharms Program on page 5 -4.) • The HHW Program expanded its operating hours one additional day by including Mondays. • The program has partnered with now nine retail locations to provide collection and recycling of household batteries and fluorescent lamps. These beneficial program improvements increase our ability to provide excellent customer service and maintain responsible rates. Figure 1 -2 shows the cost per car broken down by expense. As expected, labor, wastes disposal and recycling costs account for roughly 75 percent of the total. Universal Wastes "Universal Wastes" for the purpose of this report are wastes such as fluorescent lamps and household batteries. The amount of the wastes collected at the facility continues to increase. Fluorescent lamps lamp volumes increased from 267,000 linear feet in 2008/09 to over 270,000 linear feet in FY 2009/10. Household battery volumes also increased by approximately 10,500 pounds reaching 60,044 pounds in 2009/10. Insulating household batteries continued since last year when the Department of Transportation (DOT) required the terminals of all batteries be insulated to prevent short circuiting. In January, DOT did, however, reduce the burden slightly by requiring only batteries over 9 volts to be insulated. 1 -2 Because of this, additional labor and higher operational costs are the result. Temporary Collection Events A temporary HHW collection event was conducted in the City of San Ramon, the community most remote to the permanent HHW facility. CCCSD and the City of San Ramon sponsored the event that served 464 residential customers. CCCSD's Board will evaluate the need for continued temporary HHW collection events on an annual basis. This review is in keeping with our goal to minimize costs and maintain responsible rates. Small Business Program The small business component or Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) program continued to provide services to eligible businesses through FY 2009/10. In FY 2009/10 CESQG appointments increased by over 6 percent compared to last year. A continued increase in appointments has been seen over the past few years since the universal waste rules became more restrictive. See Section 7 for complete program details. Waste Collection A total of 1,534,976 pounds of hazardous waste were collected and disposed of in FY 2009/10. The waste was primarily comprised of flammable liquids, oil -based and latex paint, motor oil, and lead -acid car batteries. These five waste categories amounted to 77 percent of the total wastes collected. The remaining 23 percent included corrosives, aerosols, poisons, and other types of hazardous waste. Adding the 390,660 pounds of reusable products that were given away through the facility's HHW Reuse Program, an estimated 1,925,636 pounds of HHW were collected and processed through the HHW Program during FY 2009/10. 1 -3 The operating cost per pound collected shown in Figure 1 -4 describes the cost to manage the wastes collected by the entire program. The cost per pound of waste collected for FY 2009/10 shows an increase of $0.04 per pound. Sustained success was achieved in all The average weight of hazardous waste collected per car was 65 pounds. This figure was $2 less than last year (see figure 1 -3). Over 90 percent of all hazardous waste collected through the program was managed as a beneficial use (reused, recycled or blended as a fuel) (see section 6). Figure 1 -4 Operating Cost per Pound of Waste Collected $1.40 $1.20 $1.00 0 a d a $0 U M�� $0.40 elements of the HHW Collection Program for its thirteenth year of operation. This program continues to meet the need for residential and small business hazardous waste drop -off services. The HHW collection program also serves as an important component of CCCSD's overall pollution prevention program, providing a measurable amount of hazardous waste 1 -4 that can be documented as properly disposed rather than polluting the San Francisco Bay. Pollution Prevention The HHW program is an integral part of CCCSD's pretreatment and pollution prevention efforts. CCCSD has a number of pollutants of concern which the HHW facility helps to keep out of the wastewater entering the treatment plant. The HHW facility diverted over 24,000 pounds of hazardous waste considered pollutants of concern, which are mercury, lead, copper, fat/oil /grease (better known as FOG), legacy pesticides and others. See section 5 for additional information regarding CCCSD's pollution prevention efforts. Pharmaceutical Collection Program In February 2009, CCCSD partnered with the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff and the City of the Walnut Creek to begin collecting unwanted pharmaceuticals from residents. In the first three months of the program the three sites collected more than 1,500 pounds of medications. During FY 2009/10 the program grew to 11 collection sites and collected over 7,000 pounds of unwanted pharmaceuticals, at a cost of about $20,000. More about the Pharmaceutical Collection Program can be found in section 5. HHW Facility Improvements Project In March 2010, a facility improvements project began to improve ADA access, increase space in the staff office and locker areas, and produce additional storage. Other portions of the project improved worker safety and comfort, and retrofitted the facility's structure to increase stability in the event of an earthquake. The project was completed in August 2010. 1 -5 Section 2: Program Description PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Objectives The objectives of the HHW Program include: Eliminate or reduce improper disposal of hazardous wastes in sanitary sewers, storm drains, and solid waste landfills. Encourage residents and small businesses to reduce their generation of hazardous waste. Provide convenient, cost - effective, and safe hazardous waste drop -off and disposal services for central Contra Costa County residents and eligible small businesses. Follow the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) hierarchy: reduce - reuse - recycle hazardous waste to the greatest extent possible before incineration /treatment, and landfilling. • Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and requirements, including CCCSD's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. Goals To achieve the program objectives stated above, the following HHW Collection Program goals were established: Maintain a minimum annual participation rate of 4 percent of the households within each city and unincorporated community in the service area. Provide educational outreach programs targeting central Contra Costa County residents and small businesses, emphasizing the importance of hazardous waste reduction, recycling and proper disposal. Maintain a greater than 49 percent landfill diversion rate of the facility's total weight of wastes processed through the facility. See section 4 for results. • Continually look for ways to improve operational efficiencies. HHW Facility Location and Operating Hours The HHW Collection Facility is located at 4797 Imhoff Place in Martinez, northeast of the 2 -1 Interstate 680 /Highway 4 interchange, adjacent to CCCSD's Wastewater Treatment Plant. The facility has historically been open to residents and small businesses Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. No appointment is required for residents. The facility serves small businesses by appointment only. In order to enhance customer service and prevent illegal dumping of hazardous wastes at or near the HHW facility when it is closed, CCCSD's Board of Directors approved opening the HHW Facility Monday through Saturday. This six - operating —day schedule provides the most convenient access to program services while maintaining operational efficiency. The HHW Facility is closed on all CCCSD holidays. In addition, the HHW Facility is closed for approximately one week for the Christmas /New Year holiday period. Notice of these closures is provided through the CCCSD website, the HHW InfoLine, and signage on the entrance gate to the facility. Eligible Communities Residents and qualifying small businesses in these communities are eligible to use the HHW Facility services: Alamo, Blackhawk, Canyon, Clayton, Clyde, Concord, Danville, Diablo, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Orinda, Pacheco, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, and other unincorporated central Contra Costa County areas. Types of Hazardous Waste Accepted A full range of hazardous wastes (e.g., products with corrosive, flammable, toxic or oxidizing properties) are accepted at the HHW Facility. Other products with labels indicating a hazardous material (i.e., the words, "poison ", "caution ", "danger', "warning ", "skin or eye irritant" and /or "environmental hazards," for example) are also accepted. Typical types of hazardous wastes accepted include: cleaners, automotive care products, paint and paint - related products, garden care and pest - control products, household batteries, and spent automotive batteries. Unacceptable wastes include: electronic waste, radioactive waste, pharmaceuticals, medical waste (e.g., hypodermic needles), explosive waste (e.g., ammunition, dynamite, shock - sensitive chemicals), and waste contaminated with PCBs at concentrations greater than 50 ppm. 2 -2 Mercury Collection Program Mercury is a pollutant that causes water quality problems at very low concentrations. The HHW Program promotes proper mercury disposal through acceptance of mercury- containing wastes and a mercury thermometer exchange program. This program offers customers an electronic digital thermometer in exchange for their mercury thermometer. In FY 2009/10, 2,227 mercury thermometers were collected from residents, small businesses and schools. In exchange, the program gave out 330 digital thermometers. To date, over 5,300 digital thermometers have been given out since the program began in 1999. Other types of mercury- containing wastes accepted include fluorescent bulbs, mercury switches, and elemental mercury. An estimated 95 pounds of elemental mercury was collected from over 26,000 pounds of mercury- containing wastes during FY 2009/10. Mercury Collection Program — Schools In 2007, CCCSD implemented a Mercury Minimization Program for schools by conducting comprehensive pollution prevention audits of the high schools in our service area with a focus on mercury sources in labs and facility operations. This Program offers our high schools: • Free disposal of mercury wastes through our HHWCF • Free spirit - filled, lab -grade thermometers in exchange for their mercury lab thermometers • Penalty -free compliance consultations during initial site visit to encourage adoption of mercury control best management practices • A recognition program to acknowledge high schools that adopted effective mercury control strategies • Education about mercury pollution prevention via a flyer created by CCCSD for distribution to high school students and their parents The results for the third year of the program are: • 3 schools participated • 19.05 pounds of elemental mercury was collected • 264 mercury- filled laboratory thermometers were collected • 0 mercury thermostats were collected • 251 spirit - filled thermometers were exchanged • 2.75 pounds of mercury compounds were collected • Estimated cost of recycling the mercury, disposing of the mercury compounds and providing the spirit - filled thermometers to the schools for this year was $2,691. 2 -3 HHW Reuse Program Program participants are encouraged to "shop" for free reusable products provided through the HHW Reuse Program. A wide variety of reusable household products, including paint and paint - related material, garden products, automotive products, cleaners, etc., are available for customers on a first -come, first - served basis. Reuse Room hours are: Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Only uncontaminated products that are in their original containers with original legible labeling are placed onto the Reuse Room shelves. Products that are banned by Federal, State, or local regulations are not placed in the Reuse Room. Over 390,000 pounds of reusable items were given away to more than 8,400 Reuse Room customers in FY 2009/10. HHW Collection Facility Staffing The staffing objective is to operate the HHW Collection Facility with minimal contract staff during the periods with lower participation, and to supplement the regular District staff with temporary labor when necessary to accommodate the seasonal fluctuations in participation. The HHW Collection Facility began operating in 1997 with three regular staff: one Supervisor, one Senior HHW Technician and one HHW Technician 1 /11. This staffing level was based on an annual participation rate of four percent, which was almost doubled after the first year of operation. The participation level the first year the facility opened was 7.8 percent. In response to the high demand for HHW drop -off service, CCCSD's Board of Directors approved an additional regular HHW Technician I /11 position during FY 1999/00, and an additional regular Senior HHW Technician position during FY 2000/01. That level of regular District personnel: one Supervisor, two Senior HHW Technicians and two HHW Technician I /IIs, was achieved in October 2001. Participation levels were at 10.8% With participation levels in FY 2007/08 exceeding 14 percent, CCCSD's Board of Directors approved an additional HHW Technician 1 /11 to meet the increased demands. The new level of regular District personnel at the HHWCF is one Supervisor, two Senior HHW Technicians, and three HHW Technician 1/1 Is. 2 -4 HHW Collection Facility Rules The following HHW Collection Facility rules were established to: 1) maintain compliance with Federal, State and local regulations; 2) determine program eligibility; and 3) maintain a safe operation: • The waste must be generated by a central Contra Costa County resident or business and transported to the HHW Collection Facility or temporary HHW collection events by an eligible resident or business. Exceptions are accommodated for certain circumstances (e.g., deceased eligible resident with a family member from out of the service area delivering the wastes, and CCCSD /MVSD employees who live outside the service area). The quantity of hazardous waste transported by residents must not exceed 125 pounds (approximately 15 gallons), or 220 pounds (approximately 27 gallons) if transported by businesses. Participants must not transport unacceptable HHW to the facility (explosives, pharmaceuticals, medical waste, PCB waste, or radioactive waste). Participants must remain in their vehicle. Participants must not smoke while receiving HHW collection service. Businesses must make an appointment prior to dropping off hazardous wastes. HHW must not be illegally dumped. The two rules that have been violated most frequently are: 1) participants exceeding the allowable transportation limit; and 2) residents and businesses arriving from outside of the service area. The discussion below explains how each violation is addressed. Participants are asked to remain in their vehicles for their own safety and as required by law. Participants are also asked to transport waste in closed containers no larger than five gallons and carefully packed (no garbage bags) to prevent spills during transport. Separating products by material type is recommended to avoid the potential for mixing of incompatible chemicals that can react and create toxic vapors during transport. Transportation Limits Transportation limits apply to both residential and small business customers using the facility. The transportation quantities apply to the actual amount of waste transported to the 2 -5 facility and not the containers' capacity. The applicable transportation limits for residential customers are 125 pounds or 15 gallons, and the limits for business customers are 27 gallons or 220 pounds. During FY 2009/10, 2,274 residential customers (7.7 percent of residential customers) delivered wastes to the HHW Collection Facility in excess of the transportation limits. This is an increase of about a one percent compared to last year. Typical reasons customers express for exceeding the limit are: 1) we are moving and had to get rid of all of our HHW today; 2) we are from out of town /state, and are cleaning our estate property; and 3) gas prices are too high to make multiple trips. The customers were informed that they had exceeded the transportation limit, provided with written information regarding the transportation limits, and the wastes were received and processed through the facility. The majority of these violators were Concord, Walnut Creek, and Martinez residents. Proof of Residency Proof of service area residency (California driver's license) is required prior to facility acceptance of hazardous waste to verify program eligibility. Only residents and businesses located in central Contra Costa County are eligible. When customers from outside the facility's service area arrive to drop off wastes, their waste is rejected and they are provided with contact information for the program in their area of residency. Two exceptions are made for accepting HHW generated from outside of the facility's service area: 1) any CCCSD or MVSD employee is eligible for service; 2) HHW is accepted and processed if the load is determined not to be safe for further transport, (e.g., wastes delivered in a leaking container). During FY 2009/10, 81 customers arrived from outside of the facility's service area. Based on the HHW acceptance criteria above, 32 of the 81 loads were rejected and 59 were accepted and processed, of which 21 loads were deemed unsafe for further transport. The rejected loads were delivered from either east or west Contra Costa County, Solano County, or were small businesses unaware of the program requirements. Eligible small businesses were given literature regarding our Small Business Hazardous Waste Program. The number of rejected loads significantly decreased from last year's total of 107 rejected loads. 2 -6 Electronic Visitor Management In 2009, the use of electronic visitor management software and a driver's license scanner were utilized to capture residential participation data. This method of data collection allows for paperless tracking, reduces the customers' wait - times, and reduces staff time as the data will not have to be manually entered into a database. Some of the data captured was used in a trial Geographic Data Integration (GDI) map that describes usage of the HHW Facility. Eventually all of the data will be entered into the GDI map and will provide information on where HHW program usage is low so targeted outreach can be provided. Staff is working on a privacy policy to provide to those customers that are concerned with allowing their drivers license to be scanned. Only their name and address are captured and recorded. Unacceptable Wastes There are very few unacceptable wastes that can be received and processed through the facility. When unacceptable wastes are delivered to the facility, they are rejected unless staff determines the waste is unsafe for further transportation. Under this scenario, the wastes are accepted and processed safely, and the event is recorded for the facility's operating record. During FY 2009/10, there were no incidents involving potentially explosive materials (PEM). Last year there were two such incidents. Occasionally less dangerous but unauthorized wastes are delivered, such as ammunition discovered in loads after the customer leaves the facility. Ammunition and related products (e.g., fireworks, gunpowder, primers, etc.) are the most common types of unacceptable waste received and are usually picked up by the Sheriff's Department staff or a local firearms dealer. Abandoned Wastes Occasionally, hazardous wastes are abandoned near the HHW Collection Facility or along the access roads to the facility. HHW staff performs a community inspection two times per week in order to identify abandoned wastes promptly. Either the security service or CCCSD staff identifies other abandoned wastes. During FY 2009/10, three events were recorded where hazardous wastes were abandoned at or near the facility. Although clear signage is posted to discourage illegal dumping, the parking area near the entrance or exit gates of the 2 -7 HHW Collection Facility is the typical location where wastes have been abandoned. The waste types found were typical household wastes such as oil, paint, batteries, and propane cylinders. In all of these cases, the hazardous wastes were processed through the HHW Collection Facility. [Since the operating hours were expanded to include Monday, incidents of abandoned waste are less than last year's total of five events.] Funding For residents within the CCCSD service area, funding is provided by a component of the CCCSD Sewer Service Charge (approximately $11.56 per household per year of the total annual Sewer Service Charge of $311). For residents outside CCCSD's service area, the HHW Collection Facility is funded through service agreements with MVSD, Clayton, Concord, and San Ramon (for their residents to the south who are outside CCCSD's service area). They are charged the same per household as the households within the CCCSD service area. Refer to Section 9 for additional information. Additional Information Further details about the HHW Collection Program can be obtained by calling the HHW information line: 1- 800 - 646 -1431, or by accessing the website at www.centralsan.org 2 -8 Section 3: HHW Collection Facility Residential Participation HHW FACILITY RESIDENTIAL PARTICIPATION During FY 2009/10, 28,970 residential loads of HHW were processed through the permanent HHW Facility. Combined with the 464 customers served through the temporary HHW collection event, a total of 29,434 residential loads of HHW were processed during FY 2009/10. This represents a 15.0 percent (using 29,347 District participants) participation rate of the 196,020 households in the program service area. During this fiscal year, 13 percent of the residential participants were "first timers" to the facility. This is a decrease from last year's 17 percent "first timer' rate. Figure 3 -1 describes HHW program participation on a monthly basis. Participation ranged between 1,381 cars in December and 2,963 cars in July. The lower participation during the winter months is attributed to fewer operating days due to the holidays, and seasonal fluctuations in participation presumably due to more inclement weather. 3 -1 This was the first complete year of adding Mondays to the HHW facility operating schedule. The facility served 3,040 cars or an average of about 65 cars on Monday's. Without extensive outreach, Monday participation continues to increase. Figure 3 -2 presents the average residential participation for each day of operation, Monday through Saturday. It shows that the busiest days of the week are Tuesday (although Tuesday participation has decreased since adding Monday), and Saturday; their average number of cars has remained consistent at around 100 and 147 cars respectively. Figure 3 -3 presents a comparison of the average number of cars per operating day since the HHW facility opened. FY 2009/10's average number of cars per day is lower then last year mainly because of adding Monday to the operating schedule. This data serves as 3 -2 Friday Saturday a tool for planning staffing levels through the different seasons and to promote the facility's services. Figure 3 -4 shows the consistent increase of participation since the HHW Program began. Regulatory changes and increased public awareness of HHW disposal requirements are some of the reasons for the HHW programs ever - growing success. Table 3 on the following page presents the distribution by jurisdiction of the 29,434 participants in the residential portion of the HHW Program. The 87 residents outside of the facility's service area shown on Table 3 were excluded from the participation rate calculation. Table 3 also shows that each community exceeded the annual goal of 4 percent participation. Annual combined permanent facility and temporary event participation ranged from 5.0 percent in the City of San Ramon to 23.6 percent in the City of Martinez. However, San Ramon's HHW facility participation continues to be below the 4 percent permanent facility participation goal when the temporary event is not included. Their HHW facility participation rate is 3.9 percent. San Ramon's participation was supplemented with a temporary collection event as described on page 7 -1. 3 -3 Figure 3 -4 HHW Participation Participants vs. % of Households 16 35,000 14 30,000 12 25,000 10 20,000 s $ ~' � H 15,000 0� 6 n ,S 4 10,000 '$ 3 rt 2 5,000 0 0 '9798 '98/99 1 '99,00 '00'01 '01/02 '02/03 1 '03/04 '04,05 '05/06 1 '06,07 '07/08 '08/09 '09/10 D% Households 52 7.7 1 8.6 1 9.3 1 105 1 12.1 1 123 1 12.1 1 12.3 1 13.6 1 14.5 1 14.4 1 15.0 Participation 9,536 114,019115,649117,308119219122,359123,061122,872 123,897126,392127,940128210129,347 Table 3 on the following page presents the distribution by jurisdiction of the 29,434 participants in the residential portion of the HHW Program.

This is about 460 pounds more than last year. Adding the 390,660 pounds of HHW collected, separated and given to the public for reuse, 1,925,636 pounds of HHW were collected and processed through the HHW Collection Facility (see Table 5). An average of about 65 pounds of HHW per car was dropped off by 29,873 (28,970 residents and 439 small business appointments) customers. The wastes were transported from the HHW Collection Facility for either reuse, recycling, fuel blending, incineration, treatment or landfill. Data specific to the Reuse Room participation and materials reused is presented in Section 6. The HHW Collection Program's thirteenth year of operation was very successful in providing an appropriate option for customers to properly manage their HHW. This success resulted in the removal of potentially dangerous materials from peoples' homes, diverting the wastes from possible illegal disposal to the solid waste, storm drains, and sanitary sewer systems. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) requires a report for each fiscal year (July through June) summarizing the amount and types of hazardous waste processed through each HHW Collection Program in the state. The report also shows a breakdown of the waste management method for each type of hazardous waste. This report, CIWMB Form 303, for FY 2009/10, is included in Appendix I. The following tables and figures provide summary data for HHW processed through the facility: • Figure 4 -1 presents the quantity of wastes transported off -site each month. 4 -1 Figure 4 -1 Waste Disposal per Month Fiscal Year 2009 / 2010 200,000 197,114 C. 160,000 149,487 �. 148,348 143,274 137,362 t 122,664 11$649 y 120,000 3 80,000 w o LM 40,000 0 Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr NFay June * Ind udes weight of HHW disposed from the permanent HHW Collection Facility and the San Ramon one -day temporary collection event. ** These totals include 7,199 pounds of unwanted orexpired medications collected throughout the year bythe Pharmaceutical Collection Program. 4 -1 Figure 4 -2 presents a breakdown of hazardous wastes Figure 4 -2 Breakdown of Waste Shipped by Weight ( %) of Major Categories Fiscal Year 2009 / 2010 8% 8% 14% Oil Based Paint Motor oil /Oil Filters ❑Latex Paint 0th er ®Flam mables ■ Car Batteries El Poisons Aerosols .6% ECorrosives ❑Household Batteries ❑ Pharmaceuticals means for segregation into waste type. processed by type of waste.

M C O c 0 0 E H H 4- � N 4 -3 Section 5: Pollution Prevention POLLUTION PREVENTION EFFORTS CCCSD owns and operates a municipal wastewater collection system and a 53.8 MGD (average dry- weather flow) treatment plant. CCCSD collects, treats, recycles and disposes of wastewater from approximately 462,000 residents of central Contra Costa County, including all the partners and participants in the HHWCF, with the exception of those who discharge to Mountain View Sanitary District (see below) and about 14,000 in southern San Ramon whose wastewater flows to Dublin San Ramon Services District. The collection area covers 141 square miles and includes approximately 1,500 miles of sewer pipes. Each year, the treatment plant treats over 17 billion gallons of wastewater. Of that, 600 million gallons of treated effluent are recycled and distributed back for landscape irrigation and in- plant uses. The remaining 16 billion gallons are discharged via a deep -water outfall to the Suisun Bay. MVSD serves an estimated population of 19,000 with approximately 270 businesses in its 4.7 square mile service area. MVSD owns and operates a 110 -mile sewer collection system with four pump stations and an advanced secondary treatment plant. MVSD reclaims approximately 547 million gallons of water for over 100 acres of wetland habitat every year. Through MVSD's Board of Directors' commitment to the marsh projects, the wetlands have become a wildlife habitat for more than 200 species. CCCSD'S Pollution Prevention Program CCCSD's Pollution Prevention (P2) Program has evolved over the years to become an important component of CCCSD's mission, which specifically includes P2 and reflects the growing importance of P2 for regulatory compliance. The District's treatment plant is required to monitor and prevent certain pollutants from entering the influent wastewater. These efforts utilize the HHW facility by preventing the waste from reaching the sewer and by tracking the amount of waste that is diverted. The HHW Facility properly disposes of many pollutants, but the pollutants the treatment plant is most concerned with are: mercury, cyanide, dioxins, acrylonitrile, copper, lead and, fats, oils and grease (FOG). HHW staff is also monitoring the intake of bis- tributyltin, dieldrin, DDT (4,4 -DDE), Diazinon and chlorpyrifos, as well as some pollutants of emerging concern such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pharmaceuticals and personal care products. CCCSD's P2 activities and their effectiveness measurements are summarized below. MVSD is also committed to pollution prevention (P2) and environmental education. 5 -1 Highlights of their P2 and environmental education program include the Wetlands Field Trip Program which services more than 1500 students annually, the P2 Classroom program for elementary school students in Martinez, and the P2 Billboard Program. To promote P2 efforts during pollution prevention week (the third full week in September) MVSD has partnered with agencies like the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), Bay Area Clean Water Agencies (BACWA), and the District to produce pollution prevention messages and visuals for this annual outreach effort. The billboard is located near the MVSD treatment plant along Interstate 680 in Martinez, one exit from the Benicia - Martinez Bridge. Mercury Collection Program The HHW program facilitates CCCSD's promotion of proper mercury disposal by accepting elemental mercury, mercury- containing devices (e.g., fluorescent bulbs, batteries, mercury switches and mercury thermometers) and mercury- containing compounds (paints and pesticides containing mercury). Since the beginning of the mercury thermometer exchange program in 1999, over 5,300 digital thermometers have been provided to customers in exchange for a mercury thermometer dropped off at the permanent HHWCF. In FY 2009/10, 330 digital thermometers were exchanged for 2,227 mercury- filled thermometers. Assuming 1 gram of mercury per fever thermometer, the HHW program kept approximately 4.9 pounds of elemental mercury out of the environment from the collection of thermometers alone. Table 5 -1 describes the types of mercury- containing wastes that are tracked by HHW staff. This system closely estimates the quantities of mercury contained in fluorescent lamps, thermometers, thermostats, switches and button cell batteries. Elemental mercury is also weighed and tracked. A total of approximately 94 pounds of mercury contained in these types of wastes was collected through the HHW program during FY 2009/10. Approximately 88 pounds of mercury- containing compounds were also collected. The portion of mercury in these paints, pesticides and other compounds is unknown but are listed as active ingredients on the labels. 5 -2 Table 5 -1. FY 2009/10 Mercury Collection Summary Hazardous waste manifests and bills of lading are the documents used to track quantities of HHW shipped from the HHWCF. Rather than weigh each shipping container, an estimated weight is assigned to each container according to its size and waste type. Using this tracking methodology, an estimated 1,400 pounds of light ballasts containing PCBs and approximately 87,694 pounds of lead- containing wastes (lead acid batteries and lead compounds) were collected and properly disposed or recycled. Some legacy pesticides and other pollutants are tracked separately in order to provide a more accurate report of collected compounds. Table 5 -2 below shows which pesticides and Pollutants of concern are tracked and the quantity collected in FY 2009/10. As every container of waste collected is not full, an estimate of the average of a half -full container was used to calculate the amount of waste in a single container. This has proven to be a conservative estimate. 5 -3 Total Number Estimated Mercury- Containing Devices Units Pounds of Items Quantity of Mercury Hg Thermostats (3 gm /unit) 159 Ea 477 Grams 1.05 Thermometers (1 gm /unit) 2,227 Ea 2,227 Grams 4.90 Elemental Hg (Ibs) 78.5 Lbs 78.50 lbs. 78.50 Switches 6.6 Lbs 6.60Ibs 6.60 Mercury Batteries 15 Lbs 0.103 Milli ra MS4 0.10 Fluorescent Lams 270,026 Feet 1,539,148 Milli rams 3.39 Total Hg in Pounds 94.54 Paints, pesticides &other 88 Containers 88.25 Ibs. 6 88.25 compounds containing mercu 1 Thermostats - Each HVAC type thermostat contains approximately 3 grams of Hg in each ampoule. 2 Thermometers - A number of studies report that mercury- containing thermometers contain between 0.5 and 3 grams depending on their size. As a result, the fever -sized thermometer (1 gram Hg / thermometer) will be used to calculate the quantity of mercury in all thermometers. Depending on the size of the thermometer, an estimated equivalent number of fever -sized thermometers will be used (i.e., laboratory thermometers contain an average of 5 grams of mercury per thermometer. This sized thermometer would contain 5 fever -sized thermometers.). 3 Switches - As there are no standard sizes or quantities of mercury in switches, all switches will be weighed and 10% of the gross weight of switches will be subtracted to account for the containers. 4 Mercury Batteries - Studies show that button cell batteries can contain up to 25 mg of mercury in each battery. Since there is a wide variety in the sizes of button cells, the following is assumed: There are roughly 250 various sized button cells in one pound. An average of 12.5 mg /cell accounts for all sizes. Therefore, 250 cells x 12.5 mg = 3,125 mg of mercury per pound of button cell batteries. 5 Based on numerous studies, fluorescent lamps have as little as 3.5 mg of mercury with some having as much as 60 mg. The average concentration found after 1994 is 22.8 mg per 4 -foot lamp. For this report, 22.8 mg per 4 -foot lamp (or 5.7mg per foot of lamp) was used. 6 The weight of paints, pesticides, and other is not included in the Total Hg in Pounds figure. The actual mercury content is unknown. On product labels the concentration is not always listed. The weight is calculated as the pesticides are in Table 7. Hazardous waste manifests and bills of lading are the documents used to track quantities of HHW shipped from the HHWCF. Rather than weigh each shipping container, an estimated weight is assigned to each container according to its size and waste type. Using this tracking methodology, an estimated 1,400 pounds of light ballasts containing PCBs and approximately 87,694 pounds of lead- containing wastes (lead acid batteries and lead compounds) were collected and properly disposed or recycled. Some legacy pesticides and other pollutants are tracked separately in order to provide a more accurate report of collected compounds. Table 5 -2 below shows which pesticides and Pollutants of concern are tracked and the quantity collected in FY 2009/10. As every container of waste collected is not full, an estimate of the average of a half -full container was used to calculate the amount of waste in a single container. This has proven to be a conservative estimate. 5 -3 Dioxin Dioxin is a pollutant of concern because of its effects on impairing the water quality of Suisun Bay. Studies have shown that it is a hormone disruptor in humans and aquatic life. Over 375 pounds of Dioxin containing compounds were collected and properly disposed of in FY 2009/10. Dioxin can be found as byproducts in herbicides and wood preservatives such as 2,4,5 -T (Silvex), Trichlorophenol, and Pentachlorophenol. PCB Polychlorinated Biphenyls or PCB's are on our list of Pollutants of Emerging Concern. PCB's are compounds that degrade slowly in the environment and bioaccumulate, and are considered probable human carcinogens. A typical source of PCB's is from pre -1980 fluorescent lamp ballasts and capacitors. During FY 2009/10, about 1,400 pounds of PCB containing ballasts and capacitors were collected and properly disposed of by the HHW Program. 5 -4 Table 5 -2.

Pharms can be a threat to our water systems as the variety of chemistries used to produce them cannot be entirely treated by wastewater treatment plants. Pharms can enter the sewer system by either excretion from the body because the body cannot metabolize all of the medication taken, or by dumping them down the drain. Since we cannot prevent unmetabolized medications from entering the treatment plant, we have established a program to collect unwanted pharms to deter residents from dumping them down the drain. Another reason for 5 -5 collecting unwanted pharms is to reduce prescription drug abuse and incidents of medications taken by children and the elderly by mistake. In order to legally collect pharms CCCSD has partnered with the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff and the City of Walnut Creek Police Department. Three collection sites were originally established as a pilot in February 2009. The locations were at the Sheriff Field Operations Building in Martinez, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (County Hospital) in Martinez and the City of Walnut Creek City Hall. The sites are responsible for monitoring and managing the collection bins and containers, while CCCSD pays for the disposal and outreach. During the first five months of the pilot program the sites collected over 1,500 pounds of unwanted medications. This was viewed as a great success so CCCSD's Board of Directors offered the remaining communities of central Contra Costa an opportunity to have a collection site as long as it fit the same model as the pilot locations. The sites supervise and manage the collection. The District pays for disposal and outreach. Eight other communities stepped up and agreed to provide collection at their police departments. Concord Disposal, Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority and Republic Services agreed to purchase collection bins for the police departments in the cities in which they serve. The collection sites came on board slowly with the last one beginning in June 2010. There are now collection sites at the following locations: City of Clayton - Police Department City of Concord - Police Department Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Sheriff's Substation Contra Costa County Sheriff's Field Operations Building Town of Danville, Police Department City of Martinez Town of Moraga City of Orinda City of Pleasant Hill City of San Ramon, Dougherty Police Department Substation Walnut Creek City Hall Since the pharms program began over 8,500 pounds of unwanted medications have been collected and properly disposed of by incineration. In FY 2009/10, the eleven sites collected over 7,200 pounds of unwanted prescribed and non - prescribed over - the - counter medications. The cost of collection and disposal was approximately $20,000 or $2.78 per 5 -6 pound. Outreach for the pharms program has been via City, County and District websites, newspaper articles, and brochures (see example on next page) at pharmacies. Newspaper advertisements such as the one below were used initially to promote the program. Additional outreach was intended once all of the sites were up and running, but due to delays in starting up the last collection site, the second advertisement did not occur until August of 2010. This shows how popular the pharmaceutical collection program has become even with limited outreach. Residents are asked to transfer their pill form medications to plastic bags to protect personal information as well as maximize the space inside the collection container. Liquid medications should remain in their original container and sealed in a plastic bag to prevent spills. 5 -7 a) N c6 v c6 O O O > O a) — m a) 7 O p Q _ a cn a= p V .� a-- V a a U N a) a a a) = O v a) 4— too v M a) a) cn c6 c6 O O m V) i Q N C � c6 — 4) 4) v' U U c6 i : a) — °) N U E i N 4– E N (n U a) Q a l ) + � -, m N U c6 — IZ5 0- +� o o> O o ��- v 11:5 a) � a) � � o= LE5 C3 0 0 z3 CID (n Z c.J V a) E i .

AB 939 established a waste management hierarchy to minimize the amount of HHW sent to landfills through reduction, reuse, recycling, treatment, or incineration (fuel blending or destructive incineration), with emphasis on reduction, reuse and recycling whenever possible. As a water quality agency, diverting HHW from the sewers and storm drains is equally important. The HHW Collection Facility's waste management strategy mirrors AB 939, prioritizing HHW reduction, reuse, recycling, and fuel blending, in that order, to the greatest extent feasible. All of which divert these wastes from being landfilled. The HHW program's progress toward sewer and landfill diversion for FY 2009/10 is outlined below. HHW Reduction CCCSD has achieved twelve successful years of its Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program, which encourages the reduction of hazardous waste generated through alternative gardening maintenance techniques and plant selection. IPM activities include store participation to promote less -toxic pest control products, "Healthy Gardening" workshops conducted by Master Gardeners at various locations throughout the HHW program service area, and distribution of a free video entitled, "The Healthy Home and Garden: Less -Toxic Pest Control ", through libraries and video stores in our service area. Additionally, MVSD provides pollution prevention information for home gardeners via its very popular Bay - Friendly Garden workshop series. The series includes the 3 -hour workshop "Gardening to Manage Pests Naturally ", a workshop that focuses on avoiding pesticide use when possible though non -toxic pest control measures. HHW Reused Screening collected wastes and segregating reusable products for free give -away creates a situation that benefits all parties by minimizing the amount of waste requiring recycling or disposal (reducing operating costs), and by providing items such as paint and cleaning products to HHW facility customers for free. A quality assurance plan is in place to ensure that the reusable products have their original labels and are in good condition. Personal care products, commercial and industrial 6 -1 products, and products containing banned chemicals such as legacy pesticides, or chemicals slated to be banned such as copper napthanate, tributyltin oxide, and methylene chloride commonly found in insecticides, fungicides, and paint related materials, are not given away. Reuse accounted for roughly 20 percent of the total amount of waste collected by the HHW Program. The amount of reusable items given away increased by 3 percent or about 12,000 pounds from last fiscal year. The Reuse Program continued to be promoted through facility staff, the CCCSD Pipeline, MVSD's Mt. View Monitor, the CCCSD and MVSD websites, local environmental events (including Earth Day) and word of mouth. Over 8,500 Reuse Program participants were given over 390,000 pounds of free reusable items during FY 2009/10. This represents an average of nearly 46 pounds per participant, or about 32,500 pounds of reusable items per month. The estimated cost savings achieved through the reuse program is $460,979. This is based on the operating cost of $1.18 per pound (Figure 1 -4) and 390,660 pounds of HHW reused and diverted from disposal. HHW Recycled In FY 2009/10, the amount of waste recycled increased to 1,028,890 pounds from 872,220 in 2008/09. This higher level of recycling is mainly due to how latex paint is managed. In FY 2009/10, the volumes of Universal Wastes such as fluorescent lamps and household batteries showed varying results compared to last year. Fluorescent lamp volumes decreased by 21 percent and the amount of household batteries collection increased by about 19 percent. The types of hazardous waste recycled at off -site facilities include: latex paint, used motor oil /filters, antifreeze, car batteries, propane cylinders, fluorescent lamps, lead (scrap metal), mercury, household batteries and printer cartridges. Even over 26,000 pounds of home - generated cooking oil was collected and sent to a biofuel manufacturer for recycling. Table 6 shows the quantity of each type of recyclable waste, totaling 1,028,890 pounds, or 53 percent of the total quantity of HHW collected. This is an increase of seven percent over last year. HHW Fuel Blended In FY 2009/10 a total of 316,473 pounds of oil -based paint and other flammable liquids (gasoline, paint thinners, etc.) was blended with other flammable hazardous wastes and 6 -2 used as a fuel source at a cement kiln. This management method accounted for 16.4 percent of the total quantity of HHW collected as shown in Table 6. While fuel blending is lower in the waste management hierarchy than recycling, it is still a beneficial use that avoids destructive incineration, treatment or Class I landfill disposal. Progress toward Diverting HHW from Sewers and Landfills The total quantity of HHW diverted from sewers and landfills and processed through recycling and fuel blending for beneficial use was 1,345,363 pounds, or 70 percent of the total amount of HHW collected. Adding the estimated amount of HHW reused, 390,660 pounds, brings the total diverted amount of HHW to 1,736,023 pounds, or 90 percent of the total quantity of HHW collected. This level of diversion far exceeds the current reuse /recycling goal of 49 percent. Considering reuse and recycling separately from fuel blending, a diversion rate of 74 percent was achieved (1,419,550 pounds). 6 -3 Table 6 Quantity of Landfill Diverted Waste Fiscal Year 2009 / 2010 Material Type Quantity Recycled (Lbs.)

The objective of conducting a temporary collection event is to supplement participation in the communities most remote to the HHW collection facility or with the lowest participation. HHW Facility participation by the City of San Ramon failed to meet the four percent goal in FY 2009/10, while facility participation by other communities in the HHW Service area was well above the four percent goal. In FY 2007/08, the District's Board of Directors proposed that if cities in the District wanted to sponsor a temporary HHW collection event in their city, they would have to pay a fair portion of the costs to hold the event. The proposal was to charge the cities that agreed to have an event, the incremental difference of the costs per car calculation at the permanent facility from the cost per car charges at the event. Under the proposal the city would expect to pay around $12 per car for the entire event. Only the City of San Ramon requested to hold an event based on the cost share proposal. The same types of HHW received at the HHW Collection Facility are accepted at temporary HHW collection events. Appointments are required for participation. Philip Services Corporation (PSC), the HHW program waste services contractor, managed the appointment system for the event. Small business customers are not served through the temporary event. Businesses are referred to the permanent facility for hazardous waste disposal service. The majority of the communities in the HHW service area experience a permanent HHW facility participation rate in the double digits, ranging from 13.2 percent to 23.6 percent (see Section 8 for summary). In FY 2009/10, the City of San Ramon achieved a 3.9 percent participation rate at the permanent facility. A temporary collection event was held on May 8, 2010 in San Ramon and served a total of 464 participants. Temporary event participation decreased by about 23 percent from the previous year. A total of 50,491 pounds of household hazardous waste was collected at a total event cost of $40,595. The cost per car for the event was $87.49. The City of San Ramon's portion of the cost of the event was $5,331, which covers the difference between the cost per car at the event, $87.49, and the cost per car at the permanent facility (in FY 08/09), $76. Table 7 presents the participation summary of the event. Figure 7 -1 presents the trend in cumulative participation at the San Ramon temporary HHW collection events held since the beginning of the HHW program in FY 1997/98. 7 -1 The hazardous wastes received at the temporary collection events were properly packaged for off -site transportation at the collection event site. To control costs from the collection events, all partially full drums of hazardous waste were transported to the permanent HHW Collection Facility to be consolidated with HHW received at that facility. Eligible reuse items received at the temporary collection events were also transported to the HHW Collection Facility where they were placed onto the shelves of the Reuse Room.

This program is intended to offer a viable hazardous waste disposal service for smaller companies that may not have access to cost - effective service for proper hazardous waste management. An appointment packet is used to provide information about the service, including eligibility, operating requirements, and the appointment process. The business completes the Waste Certification and Inventory Form and submits it to the HHW Program staff to initiate the appointment process. HHW staff provides a price quote for disposal charges for the inventoried wastes and sets an appointment for the business to deliver the wastes to the facility. In most cases, same -day appointment service is available to customers. The business is provided a copy of the completed Waste Certification and Inventory Form to serve as the business's record of proper disposal for the wastes. The largest volume of wastes processed through the CESQG program is paints and paint - related materials (e.g., thinners). The significant differences between the residential service and the CESQG program are: • Appointments are required for CESQG participants; and • Administration and disposal costs for the wastes are recovered through a disposal charge and $20 per appointment administration fee at the time of service. In June 2009, the facility began serving small business customers Monday through Saturday. The types of businesses using the program continue to be diverse, ranging from painting contractors to small manufacturing companies. Approximately half of the business participants are comprised of painting contractors, general contractors, and public agencies. The majority of the business participants, 81 percent, are located in Martinez, Concord, and Walnut Creek. Small Business Program Revenue The amount of revenue collected from businesses for hazardous waste disposal during FY 2009/10 was $29,290 (see Table 8 -2), or approximately $67 per appointment. This is a 8 -1 decrease of about 16 percent compared to last year's figure of $80 per appointment. The $29,290 of revenue includes $8,780 from administration fees collected for each appointment ($20 per appointment). See appendix III for the current CESQG disposal charges. Small Business Program Participation In FY 2009/10, the small business program served 439 appointments for 178 businesses. This is a 5.5 percent increase in the number of business appointments and a 20.2 percent increase in the number of businesses. Table 8 -2 presents the data for CESQG program participation during FY 2009/10, and includes the data from the previous ten fiscal years for comparison. Table 8 -3 lists the companies and government agencies that used the small business program services during FY 2009/10. Small Business Program Outreach To date, CESQG outreach activities have included on -going advertising in local chamber of commerce publications, CCCSD's Pipeline newsletter, MVSD's Mt. View Monitor newsletter, advertising conducted by the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority, Business Trade Fairs, and word of mouth by CCCSD's Source Control Inspectors, as well as Contra Costa County Hazmat Program inspectors, as they complete their field work auditing the operations of eligible businesses. Pollution Solutions Partnership The Pollution Solutions (PS) partnerships began in 2008 with five Ace Hardware stores in Concord, Martinez, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek. The partnership allows stores in the HHW service area to collect household batteries and fluorescent lamps and drop them off at the HHW facility for free. The only condition is that the partners do not charge the customers for recycling their items. The first year the partnership collected over 11,000 pounds of household batteries and fluorescent lamps. In FY 2009/10 the partnership grew to nine locations and collected over 17,000 pounds of household batteries, and lamps. 8 -2 8 -3 0 co a, r LL a� 0 co o r � LL ® o o ti LL ti 0 0 E .................. ......... o *a 0 LL LL � m o � Z 00 co W) L_ W o r.L LL O LL cr w 00 0 M L IM cn � O o UJ M �O N O LL N O O m p o O to N 0 R 0 N r T" s.iewo }sno 8 -3 Table 8 -1 SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION BY JURISDICTION NUMBER OF BUSINESS APPOINTMENTS COMMUNITY Fiscal Year 2009/2010 Previous Fiscal Year Clayton 2 1 Concord 132 121 Danville 7 7 Lafayette 21 10 Martinez / Mt.

That year the program served 7.7 percent of the HHW service area. Since then participation has grown to 15 percent. The HHW program is regularly publicized in each issue of the CCCSD Pipeline newsletter, which is mailed three times per year to all CCCSD residents and businesses. Additionally, MVSD's newsletter, the Mt. View Monitor, as well as the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority and cities and organizations in the service area, have used their newsletters to provide public education and promotion of the HHW program and its associated Pharmaceutical Disposal Program. With this promotional strategy, about 10 percent of the total residential participants during FY 2009/10 were first -time customers, and the remaining 90 percent were repeat customers. The HHW programs are also promoted through displays staffed by CCCSD Communication Services staff at the annual Earth Day Fair, several environmental fairs sponsored by hospitals, Chambers of Commerce, and cities in the service area. Promotions Promotions for FY 2009 -10 include the distribution of HHW brochures and flyers to permit counters, information kiosks in all the client cities and their corresponding Chambers of Commerce offices, newspaper advertising in targeted cities including three features on HHW in the Clayton Pioneer, inserts in 10 different Chambers of Commerce newsletters. Similarly, Pharmaceutical Disposal brochures were distributed in the same locations as well as hospitals and city hall offices. We continued to advertise the program via signage on grocery store shopping carts to remind consumers to bring their household hazardous waste to the HHWCF. These mini - billboards appeared in three Safeway Supermarkets in cities served by the HHWCF. The temporary HHW Collection Event was promoted using the Contra Costa Times, the San Ramon Valley Times and the Sentinel newspapers and local Chamber of Commerce newsletters. Publicity was limited to this region to ensure that all City of San Ramon residents requesting an appointment for HHW drop -off could be accommodated. The services of the permanent collection facility were included in each of the advertisements used to promote the temporary event. 9 -1 The HHW information line, which includes information about the permanent facility services on an on- going basis, was also used to promote the temporary collection event a few weeks prior to the event. The CESQG program is promoted through several publications and activities, as described below. Publications promoting the CESQG program: • Full -page inserts advertising the program in local Chamber of Commerce newsletters in ads in annually published city maps and Chambers of Commerce directories; • Advertising conducted by the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority; • Advertising in local editions of the CC Times for targeted areas (San Ramon, Lamorinda); • Articles and announcements in every CCCSD Pipeline newsletter, see below. Activities promoting the small business program: • CCCSD and MVSD web sites; • Five "environmental" fairs or business trade shows annually with a display focused to HHW; • Promotion by Source Control Inspectors as they complete their field work auditing the operations of eligible small businesses; • Word -of- mouth; • More than 20 presentations covering HHW by Communications Services Staff 9 -2 Expanded promotion of the small business program during FY 2009/10 included: • Expanded pages on the District's website; • Advertising in Chambers' newsletters Pollution Solutions The promotional campaign, PS — "Pollution Solutions," continued at five Ace Hardware Stores: four Bill's Ace Hardware Stores (in Martinez, Pleasant Hill, and two in Concord) and an Ace Hardware Store in Walnut Creek; a second Walnut Creek Ace Hardware store joined the program in 2008, and a third in 2009, bringing the total number of participating stores to seven. The program consists of store - specific signage, posters, shelf labels, and flyers each noting the distance of the individual store to the HHWCF. Shelf labels cover cleaning supplies, automotive products, batteries, fluorescent lamps and CFLs, paint and paint products. Each of the stores receive two battery drop -off buckets — five - gallon containers — for in -store collection. The stores also accept fluorescent lamps for final disposal at the HHWCF. We hope to continue the "PS" program and add more stores in the future. HHW Collection facility tours are provided upon request. During the tour visitors are provided an HHWCF tour packet that contains an HHW fact sheet, Mercury Waste and Thermometer Exchange flyer, and other related items which promote the HHW Program and related District pollution prevention programs. 9 -3 Section 10: Revenue and Expenses 2009/10 REVENUE AND EXPENSES The HHW Program expenses for FY 2009/10 totaled $2,266,709, a 4.6 percent increase from FY 2008/09. The volume of waste collected and program participation also increased by about 0.64 percent and 4.2 percent respectively. However the cost per car remained unchanged from last year at $76 per car. The increase in total expenses can be attributed to added participation, waste volumes, contract staffing for Mondays and the Reuse Room, the Pharmaceutical Collection Program, and increased costs associated with salaries, benefits and overhead. It is notable that three operating expense categories accounted for over 80 percent of these expenses. The first of these categories was "Salaries, benefits and overhead" which, at $1,204,935, accounted for 53 percent of the total expenses. This is up from last year's total of $1,138,479. The next largest category was "Transportation and disposal" at $513,354 or 23 percent of total expenses, which is an increase or about 9 percent. The third category, "Professional, technical and legal services," at $109,670, represents about 5 percent of the total expenses, and primarily consists of the cost of contract labor. An increase of approximately $40,000 in contract labor was the result of adding Monday to the operational schedule and posting a Reuse Room attendant for four months during construction of the HHW Improvements Project. Without this added expense, contract labor costs would have been approximately $70,000, a reduction of about 31 %. As in the past few years, the expense Amortization of Capital Expenditures was included in the total expenses. Amortization of Capital Expenditures is derived from the capital costs to build the collection facility and all capital improvements amortized over 30 years. Revenue for the HHW Collection Facility included payments from other jurisdictions under service agreements (Mt. View Sanitary District, City of Concord, City of Clayton and City of San Ramon), sale of recyclable materials, charges to small businesses under the CESQG program, and a portion of CCCSD's annual Sewer Service Charges. Figure 10 -1 shows the HHW Program participation and the expenses related to the Program for each of the 13 years of operation. Figure 10 -2 lists the estimated average cost per household for each year the HHW Program has been in operation.
