Department of Environmental Quality
SUBJECT: New Yard Debris Recycling Rules
On September 9, 1988 the Environmental Quality Commission adopted rules
which identified yard debris as a principal recyclable material in the
Clackamas, Portland, Multnomah, West Linn and Washington Wastesheds. These
new rules require local governments to plan and implement programs which
provide the opportunity to recycle yard debris.
Source separated yard debris can be recycled in the same manner as other
recyclable materials, or specific alternative methods may be approved for
recycling yard debris. Planning criteria and program implementation
performance standards are also set in the rules.
One of the most significant elements of these rules is the provision which
allows the Metropolitan Service District (Metro) to provide a regional yard
debris recycling plan and program. Local government implementation of a
Department of Environmental Quality approved Metro program is an acceptable
alternative method of providing the opportunity to recycle yard debris.
Local governments which are covered by such a Metro plan are not required to
develop their own local government yard debris recycling plan. Local
governments can, however, adopt their own plans instead of joining with
Metro.
While these new rules provide several options for yard debris recycling
programs, the Department encourages those local governments which have not
already planned yard debris recycling programs to work with Metro on a
regional plan and program. Metro's experience with regional planning and
yard debris recycling will save a great deal of effort on the part of the
individual local governments. A regional yard debris recycling plan will
provide the greatest level of flexibility for local program design and
timing for implementation.
DEQ-1
Yard Debris Recycling Rules
September 29, 1988
Page 2
A Metro regional yard debris recycling plan, if developed, is to be prepared
on a time schedule developed by Metro and the Department. The yard debris
recycling programs that are part of a Metro plan are expected to start in
mid-1989. The type, size and speed of implementation of these programs will
depend on the specifics in the approved Metro yard debris recycling plan.
All local government yard debris recycling plans are to be submitted to the
Department as. a part of the 1988 wasteshed recycling reports. These reports
are due to the Department on February 15, 1989. Local government yard
debris recycling programs which are not already underway are to be started
in the summer and fall of 1989. Implementation of some programs might be
delayed because of special local conditions or limited processor capacity.
If implementation is to be delayed for these reasons, the need for a delay
must be addressed in the local yard debris recycling plan.
We have attached a copy and summary of the new and amended rules relating to
yard debris recycling. We encourage you to review this material and begin
your local planning process or contact Metro and participate in their
regional planning effort. If you have any questions about the yard debris
recycling rules please contact William R. Bree at 229-6575. For information
on working with a Metro regional plan, contact Heidi Seiberts of Metro at
221-1646.

YARD DEBRIS RECYCLING RULES
SUMMARY
OAR 340-60-015 (8) -(10) states yard debris recycling policy.
OAR 340-60-030 (1) (j) removes the condition delaying the
effective date on which yard debris is added to the list of
principle recyclable materials in the five Portland area
wastesheds.
OAR 340-60-035 (4) sets minimum standards for any alternative
method of providing the opportunity to recycle source separated
yard debris.
OAR 340-60-035 (5) states that the use of a yard debris recycling
plan/program developed by Metro will be considered to be an
acceptable alternative method if it meets specified planning and
implementation criteria.
OAR 340-60-035 (6) states that the provisions of OAR 340-60-115, -
120 and -125 are not effective for those local governments which
participate in a Metro yard debris recycling plan/program
developed under Section (5) .
OAR 340-60-035 (7) states the Commission's authority to order
implementation of a yard debris recycling program if a local
government or Metro does not implement the Metro yard debris
recycling plan/program.
OAR 340-60-075 adds regulatory agency requirements to the list of
requirements which may be reflected in reasonable specifications
for preparation of source separated recyclable materials by the
generator.
OAR 340-60-115 identifies responsibilities for those local
governments which do not participate in the Metro yard debris
recycling plan/program developed under the provisions of OAR 340-
60-035 (5) .
OAR 340-60-120 (1) requires each local government which is not
participating in the Metro yard debris recycling plan/program
under OAR 340-60-035 (5) to develop an individual or joint local
yard debris recycling plan.
OAR 340-60-120 (2) sets criteria for a joint local government yard
debris recycling plan developed by Metro under this rule rather
than under the provisions of OAR 340-60-035 (5) .
OAR 340-60-120 (3) defines "processors capability to utilize
source separated yard debris".
OAR 340-60-120 (4) sets criteria for a local government yard
debris recycling plan.
OAR 340-60-120 (5) states that the Department will review the
local government yard debris recycling plans.
OAR 340-60-120 (6) requires that a local government yard debris
recycling plan uses the standards in OAR 340-60-125 (5) as
planning goals.
OAR 340-60-120 (7) indicates that the minimum standards in Section
(6) do not apply when they will result in the collection of more
source separated yard debris than the processors' capability to
utilize source separated yard debris.
OAR 340-60-125 requires local government which are not
participating in the Metro yard debris recycling pian/program
under OAR 340-60-035 (5) to implement a local yard debris
recycling program.
OAR 340-60-125 (1) states that the local yard debris recycling
program can be the standard program for providing the opportunity
to recycle.
OAR 340-60-125 (2) states that the local yard debris recycling
program can utilize any acceptable alterative method under the
provisions of OAR 340-60-035 and identifies three acceptable
alternative methods.
OAR 340-60-125 (3) states that a local government yard debris
recycling program can be any acceptable alternative method which
is part of an approved local government yard debris recycling plan
developed under OAR 340-60-120.
OAR 340-60-125 (4) identifies some of the criteria which the
Department will use to evaluate alternative methods for providing
the opportunity to recycle source separated yard debris.
OAR 340-60-125 (5) provides performance standards for local
government yard debris recycling programs developed under OAR 340-
60-125 (3) . These standard will not be used if other standards
have been adopted into and approved local government yard debris
recycling plan under OAR 340-60-120.

Honorable Tom Brian

Dear Tom:
Metro would like your response regarding the desirability of
Executive Officer developing a regional plan for yard debris. The region, in
Rena Cusma this case, includes all local governments within Clackamas,
Metro Council
Mike Ragsdale Multnomah and Washington counties.

District B wasteshed recycling reports. Several local governments have
Tanya Collier indicated that they will be unable to meet this February 15th
District9 deadline. These local governments have requested that Metro
Larry Cooper develop a regional and debris plan. A significant element of
District 10 P g Y P g
David Knowles these rules is the provision which allows Metro to provide a
District 11 regional plan for yard debris recycling.
Gary Hansen
District 12
Local governments participating with Metro in the development
of a regional plan are not required to prepare their own yard
debris plan. However, the rules do not mandate that Metro
develop such a plan. Also, if Metro pursues the development
of a regional yard debris plan, the February 15th deadline for
local governments to submit their individual plans is not
applicable.
At this time, I would like to know if your , government is
interested in having Metro pursue a regional yard debris plan.
Given local interest, I am offering to form a regional
partnership with you to jointly develop a comprehensive plan
for the management of yard debris in the metropolitan area.
A suggested approach to move forward the development of
a. Determine which areas of the five wastesheds are
impacted by the rules (based on defined recyclable
material)
b. Develop intergovernmental agreements between Metro and
local governments involved in the regional plan
c. Develop the plan which includes assessment of
1. market capacity
2. processing capacity
3 . collection alternatives
4. data collection to evaluate plan impact on recycling
5. facility impacts (i.e. St. Johns, CTRL, ETRC)
6. financial impacts
d. Determine roles and responsibilities for Metro (i.e. plan
coordination, marketing and processing) and local
governments (i.e. establishing goals and collection) to
implement the regional yard debris plan.
The ultimate decision of whether Metro undertakes a yard debris
plan lies with you and the Metro Council. The Council will
need to allocate resources to accomplish the task. My desire,
at this time, is to determine if enough interest is generated
among local governments to allow me to urge the Council to take
the appropriate actions, so together, we can meet our waste
reduction obligations.
Please contact Rich Carson or Steve Lee with your written
comments letting Metro know if your government wishes to
participate in developing a regional plan and if you have any
questions.

If you are interested in applying for One Percent for
Recycling funds, or wish to continue to receive
information, complete and return the enclosed self-
addressed card. In the space provided, please indicate
whether your project interest is physical and capital in
nature, research and development, a new approach to
existing waste reduction methods, and whether is it small
scale or. large scale in nature. Since the primary goal of
this program is to achieve waste reduction, priority
consideration should be given, in the early stages of any
proposal development, to the amount of waste that could be
removed from the waste stream as a result of the project.
You will be provided with information about the composition
of the region's waste at the time the RFP is forwarded.
Metro has an aggressive approach to meeting Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise and Women-Owned Business Enterprise
participation goals. Women and minorities are encouraged
to apply to this program.
We believe the program will prove to be one percent well
spent and hope to hear of your interest soon.
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly, Ed Murphy, Randy Wooley, Respond By_
and Wayne Lowry
FROM: Jill Monley, Assistant City Administrator XX For Your Information
DATE: October 21, 1988 `Sign and Return
SUBJECT: Tualatin River DEQ/EQC Followup
Gary Krahmer called this morning to share and update us on followup to the EQC
hearing of September 9. Part of the requirement of DEQ was that each local
jurisdiction put together a program plan for compliance, outlining steps, and
time frames. About a week ago USA received a copy of the guidelines for
preparing that plan. They sent that guideline list to the consultants that
they have hired to work with them in looking at a county—wide storm drainage
arrangement and requested that consultant to give them an estimate of what it
would take for them to assemble the information on behalf of each of the local
jurisdictions. The consultant contacted Gary yesterday to let him know that
it falls practically within the original scope of the contract to put together
the storm drainage plan and therefore was going to be needing to assemble most
of that information anyway. This would allow them to accomplish the program
plan for the Tualatin River as a part of their original contract with USA.
They would consider that to be within the original scope of the contract and
would also be able to accomplish it within the original dollars of the storm
drainage study contract.
At this time, USA is moving forward with URS Consultants to accomplish the
work in this way. I told Gary that if we had any difficulties with this
arrangement, we would immediately contact him. Since I won't be here next
week and since they are beginning work almost immediately, perhaps any
comments or concerns can be shared back to Gary through Ed or Randy.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF T'IGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly Respond By
FROM: Jill Monley For Your Information
DATE: December 12, 1988 Sign and Return
SUBJECT: Yard Debris
The metropolitan area City managers met yesterday with several staff of METRO
to discuss yard debris and options for meeting the new DEQ/EQC requirements.
The new EQC rule requires local governments to assemble a plan of identifying
how they are going to meet the disposal of the EQC yard debris requirements by
February 15, 1989.
It appears the best avenue for the City would be to join with other• local
governments throughout the metropolitan area and work through METRO to
assemble such a plan.
All of this is tied to the increasing difficulty of disposing of solid waste.
In analyzing the makeup of solid waste several years ago, the EQC identified
yard debris as a principal recyclable material which was not being recycled.
Since this is a relatively new recyclable, the understanding and measurement
of possible markets for this recycled mulch are not yet clearly defined. This
is further complicated by the difficulty of collecting and processing yard
debris .
Our choices at this time are:
1 . To develop a City of Tigard plan and file it with the EQC by
February 15, 1989. This would be difficult because we have done
little work in measuring the solid waste yard debris relative to
other waste materials from our City. In addition, any plan would be
isolated to our corporate limits and not consider other resources
and plans of surrounding jurisdictions.
2. Join with other local governments through METRO and participate in a
regional waste reduction plan. This would allow a region-wide
cooperative effort and minimize the work impact on City staff. The
rule is a little different regarding METRO in terms of the deadline
in that METRO only needs to notify EQC that they will be assembling
a plan by February 15, rather than have a completed plan by that
timeframe. This extension would allow a little more thought and
participation on all of the jurisdiction's parts. The drawback to
this approach is that we will need to make a strong commitment to
actively participate or sit back and accept the recommendations
resulting from that process. For example, if more expensive methods
of disposal are recommended and are perhaps acceptable to other
jurisdictions but not acceptable to us, we would need to comply with
those.
3 . Another option is to fight at this time the EQC requirement. There
is general feeling among the managers present that we are looking at
another Tualatin River issue and that DEQ and EQC have already
over—reacted. In addition the criterion established in the rules
are unfounded because the processing and market information was not
available to EQC in establishing their rule. After exploring this
option it was the general feeling that we may end up fighting the
EQC on this issue; however, if we go through the joint planning
process with METRO, we will have much better data with which to
fight and we will all be on common ground using common information
in that battle.
If we are to proceed and work with METRO, we need to send a letter or perhaps
Council Resolution to METRO within the next month indicating a preliminary
commitment to work with other jurisdictions in the metro area to develop
regional yard debris waste plan. Gresham and Wilsonville have already done
this. There is no cost for METRO to assemble the plan, however again we need
to actively participate to make sure that any resulting costs from the plan
are acceptable and workable to us .
It would probably be wise for us to discuss this with our Utilities and
Franchise Committee since our three waste haulers are ex--officio members.
This would avoid any surprise to them and they would probably have some very
helpful information for us in participating in this planning process .
The next METRO manager' s meeting is planned for January 5, 1989, at 2:00 p.m.
