CA Pub Res Code § 42921.5 (2021)
2021 California Code|Public Resources Code - PRC|DIVISION 30 - WASTE MANAGEMENT|PART 3 - STATE PROGRAMS|CHAPTER 18.5 - State Agency Integrated Waste Management Plan|Section 42921.5.

42921.5.  (a) After January 1, 2009, the board shall determine each state agency’s or a large state facility’s compliance with Section 42921, for each year, commencing with January 1, 2007, by comparing the per capita disposal rate in subsequent years with the equivalent per capita disposal rate that would have been necessary for the state agency or large state facility to comply with Section 42921 on January 1, 2007, as calculated pursuant to subdivision (d).(b) In making a determination whether a state agency or large state facility is in compliance with the requirements of Section 42921, the board may consider an agency’s or facility’s per capita disposal rate as a factor in determining whether the state agency or large state facility is adequately implementing its integrated waste management plan. The board shall not consider a state, agency, or large state facility’s per capita disposal rate to be determinative when considering whether the agency or facility is implementing its integrated waste management plan.(c) When determining whether an agency or facility is in compliance with Section 42921, the board shall consider that an increase in the per capita disposal rate is a result of disposal amounts increasing faster than the growth of the state agency or large state facility. The board shall use an increase in the per capita disposal rate that is in excess of the equivalent per capita disposal rate as a factor in determining whether the board is required to more closely examine the agency’s or facility’s plan implementation efforts. If indicated by this examination, the board may require a state agency or large state facility to expand existing programs or implement new programs.(d) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), “per capita disposal” or “per capita disposal rate” means the total annual disposal by a state agency or large state facility, in pounds, divided by total number of employees in that state agency or large state facility, and divided by 365 days.(2) The board may alternatively define per capita disposal or per capita disposal rate for a state agency or large state facility that has a significant amount of disposal from nonemployees or for other reasons that would make calculation of per capita disposal by the number of employees inaccurate.(Added by Stats. 2008, Ch. 343, Sec. 18. Effective January 1, 2009.)
