  1. Format 4.0 – UpdateOhio EPA/SWMD WorkgroupAugust 18, 2011

  2. Agenda for Presentation • Review structure and basic concepts • Example from a draft chapter • Discuss Chapter V (Programs) • What comes next?

  3. Format Structure Basic Concepts • Technical information in appendices • prescriptive • More Readable Narrative in Body • customized

  4. Format Structure Basic Concepts • “Build” the appendices first • Calculations and analysis • Compose body of the plan second • Conclusions and final numbers transferred from appendices Plan I H G E D F B C A

  5. Format Structure Basic Concepts • More energy spent on strategic decision making • Less energy spent on technical plan writing issues • Hopefully, fewer NBAO comments

  6. The Solid Waste Management Plan Body of plan will consist of 6 chapters • Introduction • District Profile • Waste Generation • Landfill/Disposal Methods • Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs • Cost and Financing of Plan Implementation Plan

  7. The Solid Waste Management Plan Appendices • Multiple appendices • Contain instructions, table templates, and suggestions • SWMD will replace instructions with SWMD-specific information Programs # % Generation

  8. And now…. …to the GINORMOUS sticky notes! Sticky notes ahead!!

  9. Format Structure – Chapter Organization • “Purpose” Text Box • Provided for plan reader • Explains reason for the chapter • Writer will leave in SWMD’s plan • Instructions Text Box • Provided for plan writer • Explain what is to be provided and how to provide it • Writer will remove for SWMD’s plan

  10. Format Structure – Chapter Organization • Headers • Delineate sections required within chapter • “Reminders” to include information about particular topics • Writer will leave in the SWMD’s plan • Sample Text • Provide examples of appropriate text • The plan writer will remove for SWMD’s plan • Sample text in Format generally simpler/less comprehensive than needed for SWMD’s plan

  11. EXAMPLE From draft Format

  12. QUESTIONS?(About Structure)

  13. V. WASTE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING PROGRAMS An overview of Chapter V

  14. Chapter V Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs Contents: • Discussion of past and projected diversion rates • Summary of conclusions, and priorities • Program Descriptions

  15. Chapter V Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs Writer will use information from a number of appendices: G. Diversion Rates I. Recycling Infrastructure Inventory J. Reference Year Opportunity to Recycle/ Demonstration of Achieving Goal 1 K. Strategic Program Evaluation L. Outreach Plan and General Education Requirements M. Overall Conclusions and Descriptions of Programs to be Provided

  16. G. Diversion Rates All SWMDs will calculate rates Appendix will contain: • Calculations • Presentation of rates • Minimal supporting text 25.43

  17. I. Recycling Infrastructure Inventory Includes: Residential • Defined in appendix • Typical recycling opportunities Other • Commercial/industrial recycling opportunities • Material collection programs Yard Waste Programs • Facilities • Community collection services

  18. J. Reference Year Opportunity to Recycle & Goal 1 Demonstration Reference year opportunity to recycle: • All SWMDs will calculate and present • Use infrastructure from Appendix I • Assign population credits • Default • Weight of material • Survey

  19. J. Reference Year Opportunity to Recycle & Goal 1 Demonstration Demonstrate achieving Goal 1: Standard demonstration OR Alternative demonstrations • PAYT start-up • Non-subscription start-up • Multi-county drop-off Extensive instructions due to complexity

  20. J. Reference Year Opportunity to Recycle/Goal 1 Demonstration Demonstrate achieving Goal 1, continued: Commercial sector demonstration Other components: • Target waste diversion rates • Encourage participation

  21. K. Program Evaluation Deliberate process for making decisions Look back: • How are existing programs working? • Where are we strong, where are we weak? Look forward: • What do we still need/want to do? • Where take SWMD during planning period?

  22. K. Strategic Program Evaluation Series of Analyses: • Recycling Infrastructure Analysis • geographic coverage, population density, appropriateness… • Recycling Infrastructure Participation Analysis • Waste Composition Analysis • recovering largest waste streams

  23. K. Strategic Program Evaluation Series of Analyses, cont. • Sector Analysis • programs for all waste generators • Economic Incentive Analysis • e.g. consider PAYT, incentive grants… • Restricted/Difficult to Manage Waste Analysis • programs for yard waste, scrap tires, electronics, etc.

  24. K. Strategic Program Evaluation Series of Analyses, cont. • Diversion Analysis • trend, relation to goal, other SWMDs, state… • Special Program Needs Analysis • unique needs, allowable uses, facility operation… • Financial Analysis • available and potential money, cost effectiveness… • State Plan Goal Analysis • programs to meet all goals

  25. M. Conclusions/Program Descriptions Appendix M will: • Describe the SWMD’s conclusions from the analyses • Provide the SWMD’s priorities • Describe the programs the SWMD will provide (based on priorities, and resources) • New programs • Changes to existing programs • Continue existing programs unchanged

  26. M. Conclusions/Program Descriptions Program Descriptions • Discuss both “as is” and the “will be” in the same description • Detailed descriptions in this appendix • Information in appendix used for summaries in Chapter V

  27. Chapter V Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs Contents: • Discussion of past and projected diversion rates • Summary of conclusions and priorities

  28. Chapter V Waste Reduction and Recycling Programs Contents, continued • Program Descriptions • Summaries of descriptions from Appendix M • For existing programs, summaries of “what was” in reference year and descriptions of “what will be” during planning period • For new programs, summary of “what will be” • Format provides headings as placeholders

  29. QUESTIONS?

  30. What Happens Next? The Format will be a standing item on future agendas Draft Format chapters on SWMD/Planning Page E-mail when draft chapters posted
