Welcome!
The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) welcome you to the 2013 Used Oil/HHW Training & Conference, “Sharing Our Success For a Greener Future” at the Sacramento Convention Center. Our Conference goal is to provide a venue for sharing, inspiring, learning, cross-training and networking for individuals interested in finding solutions for ever-evolving environmental issues among stakeholders within federal, state, local jurisdictions, non-profits and businesses.
As more materials and products are identified as problematic at the end of their useful life, increased demands are placed on our local programs for proper collection and management. We are, as we always have, adapting to these new challenges while simultaneously attempting to do more with less. We must search for new approaches and efficient implementation strategies. The Training & Conference will provide technical training to refine and update our skills while also introducing new and exciting ideas. Visionary plenary sessions including discussions of the impacts of chemicals on our ecosystem and engaging the public’s interest in our message, and three tracks of educational sessions provide plenty of opportunities to learn from each other and be inspired to take action!
In planning for this year’s conference, I started thinking about the evolution of this event since I first started at the Integrated Waste Management Board in 1992. This will be my last conference, as I head into retirement in December. Those early conferences, held at the Asilomar Conference Center introduced me to your world of HHW and the potential impacts of improper disposal and the alternatives for less toxic materials. You led the way as we tackled consumer labeling on the federal level; challenged industry on our ability to promote safer alternatives; pursued legislation to add a bittering agent to antifreeze and to implement extended producer responsibility for paint; struggled with effective methods to deal with new hazardous wastes such as electronic and universal wastes; and pushed manufacturers to assume more responsibility for the entire life cycle of the products they produce.
From day one, I have been blown away by the dedication and passion you show to your programs and to your profession. You seek creative and effective solutions to overwhelming challenges and you demand action on the state and federal level. I’ve worked in a lot of places, with many different organizations, but none can compare with local HHW and used oil program managers! You guys are amazing – keep learning from and inspiring each other.
The Conference Planning Committee is the key to coordinating training and workshops that meet your needs. Huge thanks to all who devoted so much time and energy year after year. I encourage more of you to get involved; you’ll find it to be a gratifying experience!
Many of you – far too many to name individually here – have had a profound and lasting impact on me throughout my career at CIWMB and CalRecycle. I’ve been very fortunate to love the work I do, love the people I work with and believe that together we’ve made a difference; can’t say much more than that about a career! Thank you all for being such an important part of my professional life; you have all been wonderful teachers and a great inspiration.
I hope you enjoy another outstanding Training & Conference this year!
Fondly,

Keynote Speakers
Tuesday, October 29th .............................................12:45 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Allen FishDirector of the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (GGRO) and Co-Founder of Raptors Are The Solution (RATS)
Raptors, Rats, and Rodenticides – Is this DDT all over again?Allen Fish, Director of the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (GGRO) and Co-Founder of Raptors are the Solution (RATS), will trace the history of raptor population studies, including the impact of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and the current impact of anticoagulant rodenticides on the health of raptors. The US EPA recently banned second-generation rodenticides because they caused “unreasonable risks to the environment” by not only killing rodents, but also killing the wildlife and pets that feed on poisoned rodents. Allen will discuss how RATS was founded as an offshoot of the GGRO’s citizen science-based methods, as well as the progress that RATS has made toward removing these rodenticides from store shelves.
Wednesday, October 30th ..................................... 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.Joel Greene Host of PBS Television Show, “Curiosity Quest Goes Green”
Keep it Simple: Helping People Take Action Because They Want To, Not Because They Have To Joel Greene has the unique perspective of peering on both sides of the fences when it comes to the public and understanding used oil and household hazardous waste. As host of the PBS television show “Curiosity Quest Goes Green”, his job is to explore what people are curious about and explain and demonstrate it in a way that can be understood by a 4th grader. Joel Greene’s travels around the country have allowed him to explore a vast array of episodes such as battery recycling, HHW, storm water, etc. Through the medium of television, he is able to create awareness within communities about sustainability and instill a passion for the environment that transcends science and legislation. Greene’s “keep it simple” messaging and approach to complicated topics at hand will leave you feeling, like his television audience that you’re not just doing your job…you are making a difference.
Thursday, October 31st ......................................... 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Dr. Eric MussenExtension Apiculturist, University of California, Davis
The Health of our Honey Bees and our Beekeeping IndustryDr. Eric Mussen will provide some historical information, bring us up to the present, and then discuss the various factors that seem to be involved with the inability of many beekeepers to keep their colonies alive and in a healthy condition. Discussion topics will include: colony malnutrition and reasons for the lack of adequate food resources; the impact of moving bees across the country repeatedly; the impacts of recently introduced and more familiar diseases, such as Nosema ceranae and the ubiquitous RNA viruses; the extremely difficult time beekeepers have trying to keep populations of the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, at sub-economic levels; and how the bees are coping with frequent exposures to pesticides in their environment. Dr. Mussen will include some hints for how members of the general public can help protect the bees.

HHW for Managers......................................................................................Room 309/310
Larry Sweetser, President, Sweetser & Associates, Inc.
Household Hazardous Waste managers are responsible for compliance of their facilities with many regulatory requirements from many different local and state agencies. This course is designed for those HHW program supervisors that oversee operations but do not actively work in the facility handling wastes. It provides information on how to make sure your facility is in compliance with the multitude of regulatory requirements imposed on HHW programs.
CUPA Case Studies......................................................................................Room 311/312
Moderator: Elizabeth Rouan, Household Hazardous Waste Program Coordinator, San Mateo County Ionie Wallace, Interim Deputy Fire Marshal, San Bernardino County
Do you inspect HHW facilities or small businesses? Is your HHW program inspected? If so – this class is for you! Any HHW program that routinely deals with inspections will find this training very useful. The course provides a unique perspective on developing a mutually beneficial relationship between program manager and inspector. Case studies are provided that illustrate how California’s CUPA inspection program deals with compliance issues found at CESQG sites and at HHW facilities.

Turning Waste Into Profit through Material Exchange Networks ......Room 309/310
Mary Rose, Co-Executive Director, Network for Business Innovation & Sustainability (NBIS) Thomas Vinson, Senior Program Coordinator, Zero Waste Network, University of Texas Arlington Jeff Lindenthal, Public Education and Recycling Manager, Monterey Regional Waste Management District
The Earth’s regenerative ability can no longer keep pace with human demand-people are turning resources into waste faster than nature can turn waste back into resources. To restore equilibrium, businesses, government, non-profits, trade associations, and academia are recognizing the economic and environmental value of their waste streams. Through the use of material exchange networks entities generate new revenue and savings by re-using undervalued materials. In addition, material exchange networks slow the pace of extracting virgin materials resulting in energy, water, hazardous pollutants and GHG reductions.

Moderator: Brent Whitener, Programs Manager, Humboldt Waste Management Authority Natalia Jimenez, Environmental Affairs Manager, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Justin Lewis, Environmental Management Coordinator, City of Lancaster Armine Kesablyan, Program Manager II, Los Angeles County
Leveraging Partnerships to run HHW Programs—Reaching across the issues to create policies, programs and partnerships to protect the environment. One of the biggest environmental programs local governments are mandated with is managing and collecting hazardous waste. We use every trick in the book to control costs, but the simple fact remains that we must leverage resources and develop partnerships to address overlapping issues. These resources include: grants, public/private partnerships, using onsite personnel to offset costs, and treating wastes as a commodity for revenue generation. What are the real time expectations of maintaining a meaningful HHW, universal waste, and EPR Collection Programs over the coming years? Where can we find funding? What are some current program success stories? This interactive discussion welcomes aggressive thinking and the enthusiastic sharing of ideas among jurisdictions represented in the audience.
