42920. (a) On or before February 15, 2000, the board shall adopt a state agency model integrated waste management plan for source reduction, recycling, and composting activities. (b) (1) On or before July 1, 2000, each state agency shall develop and adopt, in consultation with the board, an integrated waste management plan, in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. The plan shall build upon existing programs and measures, including the state agency model integrated waste management plan adopted by the board pursuant to subdivision (a), that will reduce solid waste, reuse materials whenever possible, recycle recyclable materials, and procure products with recycled content in all state agency offices and facilities, including any leased locations. It is the intent of the Legislature that the local jurisdiction and the state agency or large state facility located within that jurisdiction work together to implement the state agency integrated waste management plan. (2) Each state agency shall submit an adopted integrated waste management plan to the board for review and approval on or before July 15, 2000. The board shall adopt procedures for reviewing and approving those integrated waste management plans. The board shall complete its plan review process on or before January 1, 2001. (3) If a state agency has not submitted an adopted integrated waste management plan or the model integrated waste management plan with revisions to the board by January 1, 2001, or if the board has disapproved the plan that was submitted, then the model integrated waste management plan, as revised by the board in consultation with the agency, shall take effect on that date, or on a later date as determined by the board, and shall have the same force and effect as if adopted by the state agency. (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (e) of Section 12217 of the Public Contract Code, at least one solid waste reduction and recycling coordinator shall be designated by each state agency. The coordinator shall perform the duties imposed pursuant to this chapter using existing resources. The coordinator shall be responsible for implementing the integrated waste management plan and shall serve as a liaison to other state agencies and coordinators. (d) The board shall provide technical assistance to state agencies for the purpose of implementing the integrated waste management plan. 42921. (a) Each state agency and each large state facility shall divert at least 25 percent of all solid waste generated by the state agency from landfill disposal or transformation facilities by January 1, 2002, through source reduction, recycling, and composting activities. (b) On and after January 1, 2004, each state agency and each large state facility shall divert at least 50 percent of all solid waste from landfill disposal or transformation facilities through source reduction, recycling, and composting activities. 42924. (a) On or before February 15, 2000, the board shall develop and adopt requirements relating to adequate areas for collecting, storing, and loading recyclable materials in state buildings. In developing the requirements, the board may rely on the model ordinance adopted pursuant to Chapter 18 (commencing with Section 42900). (b) Each state agency or large state facility, when entering into a new lease, or renewing an existing lease, shall ensure that adequate areas are provided for, and adequate personnel are available to oversee, the collection, storage, and loading of recyclable materials in compliance with the requirements established pursuant to subdivision (a). (c) In the design and construction of state agency offices and facilities, the Department of General Services shall allocate adequate space for the collection, storage, and loading of recyclable materials in compliance with the requirements established pursuant to subdivision (a). 42925. (a) Any cost savings realized as a result of the state agency integrated waste management plan shall, to the extent feasible, be redirected to the agency's integrated waste management plan to fund plan implementation and administration costs, in accordance with Sections 12167 and 12167.1 of the Public Contract Code. (b) The board shall establish and implement a waste reduction award program for state agencies and large state facilities that develop, adopt, and implement innovative and effective integrated waste management plans in compliance with this chapter. 42926. (a) In addition to the information provided to the board pursuant to Section 12167.1 of the Public Contract Code, each state agency shall submit a report to the board summarizing its progress in reducing solid waste as required by Section 42921. The annual report shall be due on or before April 1, 2002, and on or before April 1 in each subsequent year. The information in this report shall encompass the previous calendar year. (b) Each state agency's annual report to the board shall, at a minimum, include all of the following: (1) Calculations of annual disposal reduction. (2) Information on the changes in waste generated or disposed of due to increases or decreases in employees, economics, or other factors. (3) A summary of progress made in implementing the integrated waste management plan. (4) The extent to which the state agency intends to utilize programs or facilities established by the local agency for the handling, diversion, and disposal of solid waste. If the state agency does not intend to utilize those established programs or facilities, the state agency shall identify sufficient disposal capacity for solid waste that is not source reduced, recycled, or composted. (5) If the agency has been granted a time extension by the board pursuant to Section 42923, the state agency shall include a summary of progress made in meeting the integrated waste management plan implementation schedule pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 42921 and complying with the state agency's plan of correction, prior to the expiration of the time extension. (6) If the state agency has been granted an alternative source reduction, recycling, and composting requirement pursuant to Section 42922, the state agency shall include a summary of progress made towards meeting the alternative requirement as well as an explanation of current circumstances that support the continuation of the alternative requirement. (7) Other information relevant to compliance with Section 42921. (c) The board shall use, but is not limited to the use of, the annual report in the determination of whether the agency's integrated waste management plan needs to be revised.
