The population of the City is 122,9001 and covers an area of 40 square miles within the Santa Clarita Valley'. Currently, there are approximately 42,494 occupied households within the four communities ( Newhall; Valencia, Canyon Country, Saugus) that make up the City.' The Valley itself covers 150 square miles and includes the City and unincorporated area of the County of Los Angeles. The San Gabriel and Santa Susana mountain ranges separate us from the San Fernando Valley and the Los Angeles Basin to the south, and from the San Joaquin, Mojave Desert and Angeles National Forest to the north. The City was incorporated on December 15, 1988 and was the largest incorporation in the history of the state. USED OIL DISPOSAL PROBLEM According to the City's Solid Waste Generation Study (SWGS) of 1991, 0.4% of the residential waste stream consists of Household Hazardous Waste, which includes oil filters and used motor oil. In general, motor oil is illegally disposed by being tossed into the trash, poured down storm drains, or poured onto the ground. Gas station owners, auto parts stores, and the L.A. County Fire Department all reference bottles and containers filled with oil, sealed, and left on the doorstep of their businesses, at off -ramps, or on City streets. It is apparent that many people have the.right intentions. They realize that their oil should be disposed of correctly, they just don't know what to do with it. The goal of the City is to educate the general public about the hazards posed to our environment by improper disposal of oil, and offer them a network of convenient affordable disposal sites. CURRENT WASTE OIL DISPOSAL SERVICES The County of Los Angeles, in conjunction with the Sanitation Districts, provides one day Household Hazardous Waste Round -ups , paid for with landfill tipping fee taxes. These round- ups are to be held in the City of Santa Clarita every year, however this is not guaranteed. The County, with the City's cooporation, has held two Household Hazardous Waste Round -ups since the City was incorporated, once in 1991 and once in 1993. Round -ups held in other parts of the "Population Estimates for California Cities and Counties, Report 93 E-1, January 1, 1993", Sacramento Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit, May -1993. 'See Map, Appendix A. '"Population Estimates for L.A. County Cities, Report 93 E-5, January 1, 1993", Sacramento Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit, April 1993. 3 County are generally of no use to our community's residents due to the great distances that must be travelled to reach the host city. Often it would require one to two hours to drive to the host city. The City aggressively advertises all HHW collection events held throughout L.A. County, to give our residents every opportunity to participate. There are approximately 115 automobile service centers, 53 auto parts stores, and 40 gas stations in the Santa Clarita Valley. Each of these businesses either sell oil to do-it-yourselfers, or do oil changes for their customers. Currently, there are five facilities in the City of Santa Clarita that accept used motor oil for recycling. Two auto parts stores operate 7 days a week and accept oil at no charge. Two gas stations have limited hours and accept oil and filters from customers for a small fee. One recycling center operates 6 days a week and accepts oil and filters for a small fee. At this time, none of these collection centers are certified. Chief Auto Parts, which has two auto parts stores in the City, is in the process of establishing two collection centers within the City and has applied with the State for certification." ELEMENT 2 - PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND GOALS I. USED OIL CURBSIDE COLLECTION PROGRAM The City will implement a used motor oil curbside collection program, servicing households in Newhall, Valencia, Saugus and Canyon Country one day a month.5 Trash collection takes place Monday through Friday, Saturday was chosen for oil collection to minimize confusion and liability. A 24-hour bilingual telephone "hotline" will be provided to give information and instructions regarding the collection service, and allow residents to request pickup. The City will contract with a private business for scheduling, routing and collection of used motor oil.' Contractual agreements will be drawn up by our City's attorney assuring conformance to the program, compliance with Federal, State and local regulations, and appropriate and safe collection methodologies. The City will purchase a truck dedicated to the curbside collection program. Four 55 gallon drums, for a total capacity of 220 gallons, will be used to contain the oil. Residents will be requested to put no more than 2 gallons of used motor oil into a clear, leak -proof, plastic container or in a container specifically designed for used motor oil. Chief Auto Parts intends, as part of their collection program, to distribute such containers at no cost to residents who are able to provide proof of residency. Residents will be requested to not contaminate the.oil with any other substance. Storage of the oil will be provided at the City's Public Works yard. The City will sign up with a reputable waste oil hauler for regular pickup and recycling service. °See Appendix B, Letter of Intent - Chief. Auto Parts. 'See Map, Appendix A. 'See Appendix B, Letter of Intent - Tommy Sparrow. El The Public Works Department will be the controlling agency for the implementation and administration of this program. Collection service is scheduled to begin in May 1994. The goal of the curbside collection service is to expand the network of options open to our residents for disposing of used motor oil. The program will be free to all residents of the City. Regular monitoring of the program will allow for improvements in the service and expansion of service days as more residents choose to participate. Our original intent was to include oil filters in the collection program. However, the costs associated with filter recycling would overrun the funds available through the Block Grant. The City will attempt to find other sources of funding for oil filter collection and offer the service in the future. II. PUBLIC EDUCATION AND AWARENESS The City will implement a public education and awareness component to educate residents about the problems associated with improper disposal of used motor oil , and to ensure that they are aware of all disposal options available throughout the City. The education component will give residents information on all available avenues for proper waste oil disposal; including HFIW Round -ups and used oil collection centers, with special notice given to certified centers.' Historically, the City declares the month of April as Earth Month. During Earth Month, local business and community civic groups sponsor environmental activities, thus public environmental awareness is generally high during this period. The City will begin its public education media campaign to coincide with Earth Month. Local newspaper ads will be placed weekly throughout the month, with the collection service scheduled to begin in May. Further newspaper ads will be placed quarterly. Flyers, brochures and posters outlining details of the oil disposal options available will be designed and distributed to local businesses and mailed to residents. Public service announcements will be created for use in local cable TV and radio station ads, in the Talking Yellow Pages, and in press releases. A 24-hour bilingual telephone "hotline" will give information and instructions in both English and Spanish regarding the curbside collection service, and will also allow residents to request pickup. A Public Works solid waste intern will handle incoming inquiries about the program. Public outreach programs, including presentations at community meetings and schools, will be conductedby an intern. The City is committed to the goal of educating our residents about the "right way" to handle their HHW, and will continue to stress that doing the right thing isn't always convenient. Our goal is to instill an environmental ethic that will motivate our residents to properly dispose of their used motor oil as well as all HHW, and to take great pride in doing so.

A likely schedule follows: ■ 1st Saturday - Newhall ■ 2nd Saturday -Saugus ■ 3rd Saturday - Canyon Country ■ 4th Saturday - Valencia Residents will call the "hotline" by the Thursday before their community's designated pickup day to request a pickup at their address. The route will then be set and pickups completed on Saturday. The driver will return to the Public Works yard and place the drums in the designated storage area. Biweekly, the waste oil hauler will arrive and download the oil, to be taken for recycling. A I/z ton pick up truck, with four double sided 55 gallon drums, for a capacity of 220 gallons, will be used. The oil will be poured into a drum and the empty container given back to the resident for reuse. The program will be routinely monitored and assessed in order to establish the efficacy of the program, and to make adjustments and improvements as necessary. Curbside collection vehicles operating under the provisions of Section 25250.15 of the Health and Safety Code do not require a permit or variance to collect and transport used motor oil. All permitting required for the Public Works yard storage area under the provisions of the Health and Safety Code will be ascertained and obtained. ELEMENT 5 - PUBLIC EDUCATION Public education is referenced in Element 2 - Program Description and Goals, Public Education and Awareness. ELEMENT 6 - FUNDING SOURCES The City of Santa Clarity is committed to implementing a Used Oil Curbside Collection Program, however the entire cost of the program cannot be underwritten by the City. If Grant monies are awarded, City general funds will cover $1,588, a portion of the personnel costs and attorney costs, which is the amount of the Program cost over the $38,951.57 maximum grant award .
