SB 1383 Procurement of Recovered Organic Waste Products Calculator Tool
SB 1383 REGULATIONS AND PROCUREMENT:
Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) (Lara, Statutes of 2016) established targets to achieve a 50 percent reduction in the statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020, and
a 75 percent reduction by 2025. To help meet these established targets and build markets for recovered organic waste products made from California, landfill-diverted organic waste,
jurisdictions will be required to procure such products, beginning January 1, 2022, and January 1, 2027 for exempt rural jurisdictions. Annually, jurisdictions will be notified of their
unique annual recovered organic waste product procurement target ("procurement target"), which establishes the quantity of organic waste they must procure in the form of recovered organic
waste products. Jurisdictions will have the flexibility to procure a variety of products to meet their local needs, including transportation fuel, electricity, and heat from renewable
gas; electricity from biomass conversion; compost; and mulch. The procurement target can be fulfilled through the procurement of an adequate quantity of one product, or a mix of products.
For more information, the procurement regulatory language (14 CCR Division 7, Chapter 12, Article 12), and additional tools to assist with the implementation of the SB 1383 procurement
requirements, please visit the CalRecycle SB 1383 Procurement Home Page at the link below:

ABOUT THIS TOOL:
This is an optional tool that may be used by jurisdictions to calculate their procurement target and the quantities of recovered organic waste products they must procure to meet their
procurement target, and to record detailed information on the products procured during the reporting year. This may be useful to a jurisdiction in planning for its procurement, tracking
its actual progress towards meeting its procurement target, and helping to meet its recordkeeping and reporting requirements. This tool focuses on the procurement requirements for recovered
organic waste products, and does not include details or tools to assist jurisdictions with the procurement of recycled-content paper products.
This tool is not intended to act as a jurisdiction's Implementation Record, as it does not encompass all of the documentation and details necessary to meet the recordkeeping requirements.
Please see the "Procurement Details" tab for more information.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Please see below for instructions and tips on how to use the procurement calculator tool. These instructions are broken into two sections, representing the two tabs in which the user
may enter data (the "Procurement Target & Planning" tab and the "Procurement Details" tab), and into four instructional "STEPS." Each STEP is described below and provides guidance for
entering data and using the tools in its respective tab. These, along with the "NOTES" included throughout the instructions and tool, will guide you on how to best use the tool.
The "Summary" and "Definitions" tabs do not require data input by the user. The "Summary" tab is a read-only informational section, which summarizes the procurement achieved for the
reporting year, as entered into the "Procurement Details" tab. The "Definitions" tab provides definitions for terms used in this document.
Tab: "Procurement Target & Planning"
STEP 1: Enter the name of the jurisdiction (city, county, or city and county) and the reporting year.
STEP 2: Determine the procurement target for the jurisdiction. This can be determined using one of two options below:
Option 1: Calculate the procurement target. This will be most helpful for planning purposes, allowing the jurisdiction to estimate their procurement target and the quantities of recovered
organic waste products they shall procure. To calculate the procurement target, enter the population of the jurisdiction. This will be multiplied by 0.08, the per capita procurement
target, to calculate the jurisdiction's procurement target. The jurisdiction population equals the number of residents in a jurisdiction, using the most recent annual data reported
by the California Department of Finance (DOF). Click the link below for the population estimates for cities and counties:
DOF Population Estimates for Cities, Counties, and the State.
NOTE: Per 14 CCR Section 18993.1(b), a jurisdiction's procurement target will be recalculated every five years. Therefore, the procurement target calculated on or before January 1, 2022
will remain the jurisdiction's procurement target for five years, until January 1, 2027 [unless a jurisdiction qualifies to use a reduced procurement target, per 14 CCR Section 18993.1(j)],
even though more recent population data will be made available by the DOF.
Option 2: Enter the procurement target for the jurisdiction directly. CalRecycle will annually notify each jurisdiction of their procurement target through posting on CalRecycle’s website
and through a direct written notice to the jurisdiction.
NOTE: Per 14 CCR Section 18993.1(j), a jurisdiction may be able to adjust their procurement target if their previous calendar year's procurement of energy products is less than their
calculated procurement target. In the event that a jurisdiction qualifies to use a reduced procurement target, they may choose to use Option 2 above, and directly enter this adjusted
value.
NOTE: Per PRC Section 42652.5(a)(5)(B), Notwithstanding any other law, administrative civil penalties for a local jurisdiction that fails to procure a quantity of recovered organic waste
products that meets or exceeds its recovered organic waste product procurement target established by the department pursuant to Section 18993.1 of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations shall be imposed pursuant to the following schedule:
(i) On or after January 1, 2023, each jurisdiction shall procure a quantity of recovered organic waste products that meets or exceeds 30 percent of its recovered organic waste product
procurement target.
(ii) On or after January 1, 2024, each jurisdiction shall procure a quantity of recovered organic waste products that meets or exceeds 65 percent of its recovered organic waste product
procurement target.
(iii) On or after January 1, 2025, each jurisdiction shall procure a quantity of recovered organic waste products that meets or exceeds 100 percent of its recovered organic waste product
procurement target.
STEP 3: Determine the quantities of recovered organic waste products the jurisdiction must procure in order to fulfill their procurement target. This can be determined using one or both
of the options below:
Option 1: Plan for Procurement Using Percent of Target Met
Enter the ratio, as percentages, of the recovered organic waste products that the jurisdiction plans to procure over the course of the reporting year to meet their procurement target.
These percentages will be translated into quantities of the recovered organic waste products, to show how much of each product will need to be procured to meet the procurement target.
The "Fulfillment of Procurement Target" progress bar indicates the progress the jurisdiction would achieve in fulfilling its procurement target through procurement as planned (the target
will be met when the progress bar reads 100%).
Option 2: Plan for Procurement Using Quantity Procured
Enter the quantities of the recovered organic waste products that the jurisdiction plans to procure over the course of the reporting year. These quantities will also be translated into
percentages, to show how much of the procurement target would be met with those procurement quantities. The "Fulfillment of Procurement Target" progress bar indicates the progress the
jurisdiction would achieve in fulfilling its procurement target through procurement as planned (the target will be met when the progress bar reads 100%).
NOTE: The listed units for recovered organic waste products were selected through the rulemaking process. For technical assistance on recovered organic waste product units and conversions,
please contact CalRecycle at:
SLCP.Organics@calrecycle.ca.gov
Tab: "Procurement Details"
STEP 4: Record the details of the procurement of each recovered organic waste product over the reporting year to help determine and track the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its procurement
target. This section can also help to gather and organize some of the information needed for the jurisdiction's Implementation Record, and help support the jurisdiction's procurement
recordkeeping requirements. For further guidance on data entry in the "Procurement Details" section, please select the table's column headings (row 26) for more detailed instruction.
NOTE: The listed units for recovered organic waste products were selected through the rulemaking process. For technical assistance on recovered organic waste product units and conversions,
please contact CalRecycle at:
SLCP.Organics@calrecycle.ca.gov
NOTE: There are recordkeeping requirements in addition to the details requested in the "Procurement Details" section. As applicable, these include keeping records such as: all invoices
or similar records evidencing procurement, written certification(s) from the POTW(s) from whom renewable gas was procured, written certification(s) from the biomass conversion facility(ies)
from whom renewable electricity was procured, copy of the adopted ordinance or similarly enforceable mechanism for the procurement of mulch, and records of the previous year's procurement
of energy products if a reduced procurement target is to be used. See 14 CCR Section 18993.2 for a complete listing of these requirements.
