PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE
SECTION 42920-42926

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.
