PaintCare was created by the American Coatings Association, the primary trade association of the paint and coatings industry. PaintCare s Board of Directors consists of eleven non-paid representatives of architectural paint manufacturers. PaintCare representation is open to all manufacturers. Appendix A includes a current list of participating manufacturers and their mailing addresses. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 4

5 Section 2. Executive Summary Statutory Citation Title 4, Chapter. Article 2. Architectural Paint Recovery Program Section Annual Report Compliance Criteria. (a) The annual report must contain the following: (2) Executive Summary. The purpose of the Executive Summary is to provide a broad understanding of the manufacturer or stewardship organization's program as a whole and to put into context the data and information that will follow. Provide a brief description of the manufacturer or stewardship organization's architectural paint recovery efforts during the reporting period pursuant to PRC 48705(a). This may include anticipated steps, if needed, to improve performance and a description of challenges encountered during the reporting period and how they will be addressed. This may also include a description of paint container management and market development activities if the manufacturer or stewardship organization has chosen to engage in those activities. A. CALIFORNIA PAINT STEWARDSHIP LAW AND ANNUAL REPORT In September 200, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 343 (Huffman) the California Paint Stewardship Law. This law requires manufacturers of architectural paint to develop and implement a program to reduce the generation of postconsumer architectural paint, promote the reuse of postconsumer architectural paint, and to provide a system for the management of postconsumer architectural paint in an environmentally sound manner that includes collection, transportation, processing, recycling, and proper disposal. The California program began October 9, 202. PaintCare, on behalf of participating paint manufacturers, submits an annual report to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). Annual reports cover the period July June 30. As prescribed in Section of the California Public Resources Code and further detailed in Title 4, Section 8954 of the California Code of Regulations, the information submitted in an annual report shall be organized according to this standard outline: (A) Contact Information (B) Executive Summary (C) Program Outline (D) Description of Goals and Activities Based on the Stewardship Plan (E) Financing Mechanism (F) Education and Outreach (G) Audits PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 5

6 B. YEAR THREE PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Sites, Events, Services, and Collection Volume Provided 733 year-round (and 23 seasonal) paint drop-off sites consisting of paint retailers, municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) facilities, solid waste transfer stations and other voluntary locations to create a network of convenient paint drop-off points in California. Through the 733 sites, provided access to a year-round site within 5 miles for 98.4% of the state s population. Managed paint from 92 HHW drop-off events, and planned, promoted and sponsored nine paint-only drop-off events. Paint-only event locations were chosen to provide collection opportunities in previously underserved (too few sites or high population) areas. Provided 84 direct large volume pick-ups from businesses, institutions and others that had accumulated more than 300 gallons of paint at their sites, and established regular pick-up with an additional 24 sites. Partnered with 6 door-to-door HHW programs to manage paint collected through their service. Collected and processed 2,77,307 gallons of postconsumer paint, of which 95% was reused, recycled back into paint or another product, and used for a purpose other than landfill. (45% of the paint came through retail and other non-municipal sites and services; 55% came from municipal sites and events.) Recycled approximately 679 tons of plastic and metal paint cans. Outreach and Education Continued and enhanced the comprehensive outreach campaign to educate consumers on the program, the amount and purpose of the assessment, and convenient recycling opportunities, while also promoting buying the right amount of paint and using up leftovers. C. CHALLENGES AND LESSONS LEARNED As the program entered its third year, the challenges of launching a large-scale, statewide waste management program provided an ongoing learning process. Of the four primary challenges discussed in the first two reports, three remained during the third year. However, much progress has been made, including new approaches to reuse and contracting, detailed below. Hazardous Materials Business Plans and Fees In general, businesses in California are required to submit a Hazardous Material Business Plan (HMBP) to their local hazardous materials enforcement agency if they store more than 55 PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 6

7 gallons of hazardous waste on-site. In September 204, California passed Assembly Bill This law relaxed HMBP requirements for businesses that are PaintCare drop-off sites. As of January, 205, a business that handles paint managed under the PaintCare program needs to submit an HMBP only if the volume of PaintCare program products stored onsite at one time exceeds,000 gallons (approximately 0 PaintCare paint storage bins). However, local HMBP requirements still apply for any other non-paintcare hazardous materials being stored onsite. PaintCare has seen the effects of the passage of AB 2748, with state coordinators noticing increased interest from independent retailers now that this barrier to joining the program has been removed. Limits on Storage Space The availability of storage space for cubic yard paint storage bins continues to be an issue for retailers, with more sites than anticipated able to store only one or two bins. Sites continue to fill up their bins quickly, particularly in heavily populated areas. This situation has continued to improve through implementation of automatic pick-up schedules. Approximately 3% of retail drop-off sites are now on an automatic pick-up schedule, ranging from monthly to twice weekly. Establishing Partnerships with Municipal HHW Programs PaintCare continued its efforts to establish partnerships with household hazardous waste programs through continued engagement at conferences, local meetings, in-person site visits, and conference calls. During this reporting year, 4 additional HHW programs were added, bringing the total to 8 as of June 30, 205. (Note that many HHW programs manage several sites and/or events as part of their program; therefore, the total number of HHW facilities or events participating in PaintCare is much higher than 8.) Increasing the Financial Incentive for Reuse As the program year came to a close, PaintCare planned a new reimbursement structure for HHW facilities, reuse stores (e.g., Habitat for Humanity ReStores), and other partners that are able to distribute paint to the public for reuse. The new compensation model replaces the previous rate of $0.25 a container (of any size) with a $.20 rate for each one-gallon container (with proportional compensation for quarts and five-gallon containers) or a $.60 rate when actual volume is measured. This substantial change has resulted in a high response rate from existing reuse partners and has encouraged new reuse programs to begin. As of June 30, 205, PaintCare has 20 reuse partners. The effects of increased interest in reuse will be more fully known in the next program year. Streamlining Contractual Arrangements Following feedback from stakeholders, PaintCare made it easier to create or revise partnership arrangements. By utilizing streamlined acknowledgement s (in place of signed letters) and simplified amendments, PaintCare was able to further encourage participation of HHW programs and other contracted parties.

8 Section 3. Program Outline Statutory Citation Title 4. Division 7. Chapter. Article 2. Architectural Paint Recovery Program Section Annual Report Compliance Criteria. (a) The annual report must contain the following: (3) Program Outline. Describe the paint stewardship program, including information on the following topics: (A) A description of the methods used to collect, transport, and process postconsumer architectural paint, by type, in California. (B) Description of how each consumer of architectural paint in California had an opportunity to recycle and properly manage their postconsumer paint on a state wide basis, including the number, location, and type of collection points located in the state. (C) Description of best management practices followed by service providers that are acting as collection points, which may include any training that the manufacturer or stewardship organization provided or required of service providers to ensure proper collection and management of postconsumer paint. (D) A statement that the manufacturer or stewardship organization coordinated with existing household hazardous waste collection programs and retailers as potential collection points per Section8953(a)(3)(E) and (F) during the reporting period. A. PAINT COLLECTION SITES, EVENTS, AND SERVICES PaintCare continued to grow its paint collection system in both urban and rural communities. The methods used to collect paint from the public include the following: Paint retailers including paint, hardware, and building supply stores HHW collection facilities and events Solid waste transfer stations, recycling centers and landfills Material reuse stores (e.g., Habitat for Humanity ReStore) Paint-only collection events Large volume direct pick-up service for sites that have accumulated more than 300 gallons of postconsumer paint (most commonly painting contractors) Partnership with door-to-door HHW programs PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 8

9 PaintCare had 733 year-round drop-off sites in California at the end of this reporting year. For the purpose of defining convenience, PaintCare considers a site or event (defined by the physical address) as year-round if the site is open at least one day per month, every month of the year. Sites that are open less frequently are considered supplemental sites. Sites that close or stop participating in the PaintCare program during a reporting year are also considered supplemental and are noted as having had limited participation. In addition to 733 year-round sites, the program managed paint from 92 HHW drop-off events, held nine paint-only drop-events, partnered with 6 door-to-door collection programs 2, had 23 supplemental sites, provided 84 direct large volume pick-ups, and set up contracts and regular pick-ups schedules with 24 businesses and organizations that generate large volumes of paint on a regular basis (non-public sites) The following tables summarize PaintCare sites, events and services during this reporting year. YEAR-ROUND SITES NUMBER Paint ers 583 HHW Facilities 06 Transfer Stations / Landfills / Recycling Centers 25 Other Sites* 7 Paint Recyclers 6 Reuse Stores 5 Site Total 733 SUPPLEMENTAL SITES, EVENTS, AND SERVICES NUMBER s 92 Direct Large Volume Pick-Ups 84 Non-Public Sites 24 Door-to-Door Programs 6 HHW Facilities Paint-Only Events 9 Paint ers (limited participation) 9 Other Sites* 2 Paint Recycler (limited participation) *Other sites includes fire stations, municipal public works yards, and other types of paint drop-off sites that do not fall into the primary categories. Not included in this figure are a number of small HHW events where PaintCare pays for paint processing and transportation from a consolidation facility, but not internal transportation to the consolidation facility. 2 Only stand-alone door-to-door programs are counted. While PaintCare also partners with HHW facilities that host door-to-door operations, such as Folsom and San Francisco, they are not included to avoid double counting. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 9

10 The locations of the year-round sites, and supplemental sites and events are shown in the maps in Section 4 of this report as part of the convenience analysis. A full list of all sites, events, and door-to-door programs is provided in Appendix B. Site Configuration All PaintCare drop-off sites and events, and the LVP service accept both latex paint and oilbased paint. All retail drop-off sites, paint-only drop-off events, and the LVP service accept paint from both residents and qualifying businesses, while HHW programs (sites and events), transfer stations, and some other locations may limit participation to their normal service area and customers, which may not include businesses. For all drop-off sites, events, and the LVP service, PaintCare pays for paint collection bins, training materials, transportation of paint from the site, and paint processing. Spill kits are provided to most sites. PaintCare also negotiates payment for additional services with HHW sites, transfer stations, and some other sites. Additional services include: Paint reuse Latex paint reprocessing Oil-based paint bulking Transportation from remote sites or events to a primary location, referred to as internal transportation B. PAINT TRANSPORTATION AND PROCESSING Paint Transportation Prior to program launch, PaintCare issued RFPs for transportation and processing services for program products collected at all PaintCare drop-off sites. PaintCare selected Clean Harbors Environmental Services and Stericycle Environmental Services (formerly PSC Environmental Services) for statewide transportation services. In addition, PaintCare worked with select haulers that held existing contracts with HHW programs including Veolia Environmental Services and Waste Management. A number HHW programs also provided internal transportation services to PaintCare. Haulers schedule pick-up appointments in two ways: () by request, when sites order a pick-up when their storage capacity reaches 50 percent; or (2) on a set schedule (e.g., every Monday). Haulers are responsible for delivery of empty collection bins and program supplies and for picking up full bins from drop-off sites. Haulers provide PaintCare all data on the transportation and processing of program products taken from all sites and events to their final destination. Shipments of program products from HHW facilities who have partnered with PaintCare are arranged between the facility and hauler, typically to coincide with the sites regular shipments of other HHW. Contracted haulers and their downstream processors are subject to audit by PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 0

11 PaintCare. Most drop-off sites pack unopened paint cans into cubic yard collection bins. A few sites pack paint cans into large shipping containers (20 cubic yard or larger), and some bulk (pour off) paint into drums. Full collection bins, shipping containers and drums are transported to the hauler s facilities for sorting by type. From there, latex paint is transported to a latex paint recycler and oil-based paint and other solvent-based program products are transported to downstream processors. Commingled containers (latex and oil-based paint), and sorted latex paint containers are shipped from sites and events using a bill of lading. Oil-based paint is shipped using a hazardous waste manifest. Latex Paint Processing The following describes how latex paint was processed during this reporting year. Reuse. A small portion of latex paint received by some reuse stores and some HHW sites was given away or sold, as-is, through materials reuse programs. Recycled Paint. The largest portion of latex paint was used to manufacture recycled-content paint by HHW programs and private paint recyclers. This paint was given away to the local community by HHW programs and sold through domestic and international markets by private recyclers. Decorative Ground Cover. A small portion of hardened latex paint was used to create a product sold as a decorative ground cover. The product is made by grinding dried paint into small pieces, and then finished with colorant and a protective coating. Concrete Products. A portion of latex paint was used as a raw material to manufacture interlocking retaining wall blocks, and parking stops for passenger and commercial vehicles. Energy Recovery. A portion of latex paint was combined with sawdust to create a fuel for a waste to energy facility in Southern California. Alternative Daily Cover. One HHW program used latex paint as a component of alternative daily cover (ADC) for their landfill. Disposal. A portion of the dry and unusable latex paint was sent to authorized landfills. Oil-Based Paint Processing The following describes how oil-based paint was processed during this reporting year. Reuse. A small portion of oil-based paint received by some reuse and some HHW sites was given away or sold, as is, through materials reuse programs. Energy Recovery. Oil-based paint was consolidated and delivered to fuels blending operations, which manufactured a fuel used for energy recovery. Incineration. Oil-based paint was used as a fuel at two different hazardous waste incinerators. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page

12 Container Recycling Downstream processors and HHW programs managed empty metal and plastic paint containers for recycling when feasible. C. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR DROP-OFF SITES PaintCare entered into contract agreements with sponsors of all drop-off sites, both retail and municipal, as well as drop-off events, door-to-door programs, and non-public large volume sites. For municipal sites that do not operate their own sites or events, PaintCare contracted either directly with the municipality or with their site or event operator. PaintCare requires all sites to be staffed during operating hours, store program products in a secure location, and follow all procedures described in site trainings and PaintCare contract guidelines. Site Training and Guidelines With the exception of HHW sites and events for which it is optional, all other sites received an on-site, in-person training and training binder. The binder includes program guidelines, a training presentation with images, record-keeping forms, and signage. The binder is required to be kept on-site and readily available. The training and guidelines cover: Identification of program and non-program products Acceptable containers Whom to accept paint from and how much Screening procedure for Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQGs) and the required log form Proper storage Spill response procedures and reporting requirements How to schedule a pick up Required paperwork and retention schedules Employee training Variations of these guidelines are provided to retail stores, reuse stores, HHW facilities, transfer stations, LVP sites and any other type of site. Appendix C provides the current versions of the retail site guidelines and retail training presentation. ers and other non-hhw drop-off sites may not accept products without original labels or not in original containers. However, HHW programs often receive unlabeled containers and products not in their original containers in the course of normal operations and have the skills and tools to identify whether the material is an acceptable program product. This operational distinction is an example of how site guidelines vary depending on site type. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 2

13 Site Visits Drop-off sites received site visits throughout the year by PaintCare Regional Coordinators to check on operations, answer questions, and provide additional program outreach materials. PaintCare has four Regional Coordinators in California. Paint Collection Bins Drop-off sites are equipped with one or more collection bins in which to store program products. Sites are required to keep collection bins in a secure location that is not directly accessible to the public. Paint Acceptance Limits PaintCare requires sites to accept at least 5 gallons of paint per customer per day. Some dropoff sites voluntarily accept more than 5 gallons; many accept up to 20 gallons per customer. A few stores accept up to 00 gallons, while some recyclers, transfer stations and HHW sites accept unlimited volumes of latex paint. Scheduling Bin Pick Ups All drop-off sites are advised to order a collection bin pick up when they have reached 50 percent of their storage capacity. Sites in urban areas receive pick-ups within five business days of a request; sites in rural areas receive pick-ups within ten business days. Many sites in high volume areas have also been placed on an automatic pick-up schedule. D. COORDINATION WITH EXISTING HHW COLLECTION PROGRAMS & RETAILERS HHW Programs PaintCare has continued its efforts to partner with all HHW programs. Imperial, Kings, Mariposa, Modoc, Orange, Sierra, Tulare and Yuba-Sutter are the only counties with an HHW program that had not joined PaintCare as of June 30, 205. Imperial County has chosen not to collect paint and refers its participants to local PaintCare retail locations. PaintCare had established 8 partnerships with HHW programs and expects this number to increase in the coming year, with Orange County joining the program in September 205 and other county contracts also nearing completion. ers PaintCare created and maintains a mailing list of all California paint retailers including independent and corporate contacts. As the program has evolved, so have relationships with retailers. In addition to recruiting new sites through in-person site visits, PaintCare regional coordinators also worked closely with store management and corporate contacts to arrange new store site setups and transition existing stores with location changes.

14 Section 4. Description of Goals and Activities Statutory Citation Title 4. Division 7. Chapter. Article 2. Architectural Paint Recovery Program Section Annual Report Compliance Criteria. (a) The annual report must contain the following: (4) Description of goals and activities based on the stewardship plan. State goals from the approved stewardship plan, the baseline from which goals were measured, and report on achievement during the reporting period. Describe any adjustments to goals stated in the approved stewardship plan that may be made for the upcoming reporting period and accompanying rationale for those changes. The annual report must include quantitative information and discussion on the following categories pursuant to PRC 48705(a) and PRC 48703(d): (A) The total volume of architectural paint sold, by type, in the state during the preceding reporting period. (B) The total volume of postconsumer architectural paint recovered, by type, in the state during the preceding reporting period. (C) Disposition of postconsumer paint collected, by type and by estimated volume, including name(s) and corporate address(es) for contracted processors for each A. PROGRAM GOALS The California Paint Stewardship Law required PaintCare to establish goals to reduce the generation of postconsumer paint, to promote the reuse of postconsumer paint, and for the proper end-of-life management of postconsumer paint, based on current household hazardous waste program information. This section of the report addresses architectural paint recovery and recycling goals. Section 6 (Education and Outreach) addresses postconsumer paint reduction and reuse goals. B. PROGRAM CONVENIENCE As described in the Program Plan, to ensure adequate collection coverage, Geographic Information System (GIS) modeling was used determine the number and distribution of dropoff sites needed based on the following criteria. Distribution. PaintCare s goal for statewide coverage is to establish one site within 5 miles for the majority (90%) of the state s population. Density. In addition to securing drop-off sites in locations to meet the statewide distribution criterion, PaintCare is addressing densely populated areas by striving to provide an additional site for every 30,000 residents of a population center as defined in the Program Plan. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 4

15 Convenience Goals Application of these criteria resulted in the need for approximately 750 optimally located, yearround drop-off sites. Service Level California had robust HHW programs prior to PaintCare implementation. However, service levels varied across the state, and many HHW program were not open to businesses. With the addition of more than 600 new year-round paint drop-off sites, PaintCare made it significantly more convenient to recycle paint in the state, particularly for businesses. The combination of new year-round drop-off sites and existing year-round HHW sites provided a site within 5 miles to 98.4% of the state s population satisfying the distribution goal of the program. 3 Including the supplemental sites and events into the analysis increased the serviced population to 99.2%. Section 3 of this report described the number and types of sites events offered by the program. The maps on the following pages shows their locations. The first map shows the locations of year-round drop-off sites and their 5-mile service radius. The second map shows the locations of supplemental sites, and HHW and paint-only events. The third maps shows the locations of LVP sites (both single pick-up locations and sites that received regular pick-ups). Though the LVP service provides a tremendously convenient service for its users, sites are not included in any convenience analysis since they are not provide public drop-off site. Door-todoor programs are also not included in any convenience analysis, or on any map. 3 Golder Associates, an engineering firm hired by PaintCare to conduct geographic analysis and mapping, performed distribution criterion analysis of drop-off sites. However, the required density criterion analysis of dropoff sites was not performed for this report due to concerns with the accuracy of the analysis model. PaintCare notified CalRecycle of this problem in advance of submitting this report and will provide an updated report with density criterion analysis as soon as the validity of the current model has been determined, and corrected if needed.

19 C. PAINT SALES The volume of architectural paint sales in this reporting year was 65,700,95 gallons, a decrease of approximately 4% from the previous year. The following table shows this volume, broken out by container size. Paint Sales CONTAINER SIZE GALLONS % VOLUME Half pint or smaller 39,346 < Larger than half pint to smaller than gallon 2,580,08 4 gallon 23,339, Larger than gallon up to 5 gallons 39,749,5 60 Total 65,700,95 00 D. PAINT RECOVERED A total of 2,77,307 gallons of postconsumer architectural paint was processed during this reporting year. A small portion of paint collected during the year has not yet been processed and is not included in this report s processing and disposition data. A gap in the time between collection and processing will occur every year and therefore balance out from year to year. The following table provides a breakdown of the volume of paint processed by type. Paint Processed TYPE GALLONS % Oil-based 459,079 7 Latex 2,258, Total 2,77, In this reporting year, 55% of the paint processed came from municipal HHW programs (this includes HHW facilities and events, as well as municipal transfer stations and other municipal sites that collect paint). Paint from retail stores made up 40% of the volume, the LVP service 4%, and paint-only collection events accounted for %. E. DISCUSSION OF BASELINE AND RECOVERY RATE As described in the Program Plan, to project the anticipated volume of postconsumer paint to be collected, PaintCare considered CalRecycle s baseline HHW collection data and other data and studies available at the time, and used the following assumptions: PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 9

20 Sales volume will remain the same for three years. 0% of architectural paint sold is leftover. 70% of unused paint is available for collection (7% recovery rate). In the first reporting period, PaintCare would experience a 3% collection volume increase over baseline HHW program collections. In the second reporting period, PaintCare would experience a 20% collection volume increase over the first reporting year. In the third reporting period, PaintCare would experience a 25% collection volume increase over the second year, reaching the target recovery rate of 7%. The Program Plan also presented the potential flaws in the state s HHW baseline data. Concerns included: Overstatement of oil-based paint collected state-wide by many HHW programs due to the combining of petroleum-based solvents, cleaners, automotive products and other non-program products in the category for oil-based paint on the state s Form 303 (HHW program data) reporting. Reporting by some programs of gross weight (includes paint cans and collection bins), and reporting by others of net weight (paint only). Use by some programs of the conversion factor recommended on the state s Form 303 (0 pounds/gallon), and use by others of alternative conversion factors. Reporting by some programs of actual product weight or volume, and reporting by others of an average derived over time based on the size of the collection bins used at their site (e.g., 55-gallon drums). To address this, PaintCare proposed to use the volume collected in its first year as the baseline from which to plan for future collection volumes and cost. However, as only a few HHW programs were signed up with PaintCare by the end of the first reporting period, the intended use of the baseline value to measure all HHW paint in a similar manner in order to determine a pre-retail program volume was unattainable. In its first Annual Report, PaintCare proposed using the second year of data as the baseline number, with the assumption that all HHW programs would have joined the program and HHW volume could be carved out from non-hhw volumes. While nearly all of the remaining HHW programs did join the PaintCare program in the second reporting year, some of the largest ones including Los Angeles (City and County) were not fully on board until the last few months of the second reporting year. With the inclusion of Los Angeles (City and County) for the entirety of the third reporting year, PaintCare moved closer to a meaningful HHW-based baseline. However, until full-year data is available for all HHW programs, PaintCare proposes to continue to report yearly collection volumes going forward, discuss the year-over-year change, and measure the volume against the expectation of a 7% recovery rate. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 20

21 F. METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING VOLUMES PaintCare was provided aggregate data by each service provider for total paint reused and processed. For transporters, one of two methods was then applied: () For data where the weight of paint processed was provided by recyclers to transporters, standard packaging weight assumptions were made by each transporter and removed from the total weights. Next, a conversion factor of 0 pounds per gallon was applied to weight data to obtain volume. (2) For data where actual volume in gallons was provided by recyclers to transporters, no conversions were applied and the volume data was reported as-is to PaintCare. For HHW programs that reprocessed latex paint, data provided to PaintCare was the volume processed and then given out to the public. For a reuse program operated by either an HHW program or a reuse store, data was either () provided as weights or number of containers and converted to gallons using the site s own methodology or through discussion with PaintCare; or, (2) an estimate of gallons was determined based on physical and visual inspection at the site. Container Recycling Paint cans were recycled by processors and by municipal programs conducting bulking or reprocessing activities, when feasible. During this reporting year, 679 tons of metal and plastic paint cans were recycled. G. PAINT DISPOSITION AND PROCESSORS As noted in the Program Plan, either directly or through the program s haulers, PaintCare contracts for processing and proper end-of-life management of all program products. In addition, to support the waste hierarchy of reduce, reuse, recycle, PaintCare encourages and provides financial compensation for reuse programs, and to HHW programs that make recycled-content paint. As described previously, paint was managed in the following ways during this reporting year: Latex Paint.

24 Section 5. Financing Mechanism Statutory Citation Title 4. Division 7. Chapter. Article 2. Architectural Paint Recovery Program Section Annual Report Compliance Criteria. (a) The annual report must contain the following: (5) Financing Mechanism. The annual report shall include the total cost of implementing the architectural paint stewardship program and an evaluation of how the program's funding mechanism operated, including whether or not the funding was sufficient to recover, but not exceed, the administrative, operational, and capital costs of the manufacturer or stewardship organization's program. Include a statement that any surplus funds are put back into the program to reduce the costs of the program, including the assessment amount. Any proposed change in the amount of the architectural paint stewardship assessment must be submitted to the department for re-approval (see Submittals). If a manufacturer or stewardship organization conducts activities that are separate from the implementation and management of the California paint stewardship program, then the annual report shall include documentation on how the collection and expenditure of assessment funds shall be kept separate from other activities of the manufacturer or stewardship organization and the methodology for distribution of shared costs. Consistent with PRC 48705(a)(5), the annual report shall include the following: (A) Assessment amount per container (B) Total program cost (C) Capital costs (D) Cost($)/capita (E) Cost($)/gallon collected (F) Education/Outreach (% of total program cost) (G) End-of-life materials management (% of total program cost, with line items for reuse, transportation, recycling, fuel incineration, and proper disposal) (H) Program administration (% of total program cost, including annual administrative fee for service payments to the department) (I) Surplus funding, if any, and how it will be applied to reduce program costs A. FINANCING MECHANISM PaintCare maintained its financing mechanism and fully covered the cost of continuing to implement the program through this reporting year. The funding system places an assessment (PaintCare fee) on every container of architectural paint sold in California. The fees were set at a rate to cover but not exceed the cost of implementing the California program. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 24

25 A substantial reserve has been accumulated, due to significant delays that took place in the first two reporting periods to sign up all of the state s HHW programs. However, at the end of the third reporting period, the number of programs not signed up with PaintCare has diminished substantially. PaintCare Fee The program utilizes the following approved fee schedule. CONTAINER SIZE PaintCare Fee Schedule FEE Half pint or smaller $ 0.00 Larger than half pint to smaller than gallon $ 0.35 gallon $ 0.75 Larger than gallon up to 5 gallons $.60 Total Program Cost Total program cost for this reporting year was $26,244,982. See Appendix D, the independent financial audit of the California PaintCare program (referred to in the financial audit by its formal name, the California Architectural Paint Recovery Program), for more detailed information on program costs. Capital Costs There were no capital costs during this reporting year. Cost per Capita The cost per capita during this reporting year was $0.70. Cost per capita was derived using the US Census Bureau s 200 California population of 37,253,956. Cost per Gallon The cost per gallon (processed) during this reporting period was $9.66. Note that PaintCare uses and reports processed volume rather than collected volume because not all paint collected during a reporting year has been delivered to a processor and/or processed during the same reporting year. Education/Outreach Education/outreach cost for this reporting year was $3,859,330 5% of total program costs. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 25

26 End-of-Life Materials Management Transportation cost for this reporting year was $2,509,533 0% of total program costs. Processing cost for reuse, recycled paint, decorative ground cover, concrete products, alternative daily cover, energy recovery, incineration, and disposal was $4,95,520 for this reporting year 54% of total program costs. Actual cost broken down by specific disposition is not available due to the format of contract pricing with transport and processing vendors. This is because of PaintCare s requirement to maximize highest-best use (generally considered paint-to-paint recycling at this time) by downstream recyclers the most expensive management method. The result is that PaintCare pays the same per-pound recycling rate for most of the paint collected through the program the highest rate charged by each vendor regardless of the ultimate disposition. It should be noted that PaintCare does not intend to change its paint management methods and is thus unlikely to ever be able to provide actual disposition cost data. The costs for each disposition method are estimated below: DISPOSITION METHOD ESTIMATED COST % OF TOTAL PROGRAM COST Recycled Paint $ 8,726, Energy Recovery 2,850, Incineration,336, Disposal 62, Concrete Products 584, Reuse 46, Alternative Daily Landfill Cover 8, Decorative Ground Cover 8, Total $ 4,95, Administrative Costs Administrative costs (also called indirect costs or corporate expenses) are those that are shared by all states that have passed a paint stewardship law, such as salaries for DC-based corporate staff who work on activities for all states. Other corporate expenses include construction of data management systems, legal fees, and general communications. The corporate allocation for each PaintCare state is the proportion of it population relative to the population of all PaintCare states combined. California s share of the corporate activity allocation was 64% at the end of this reporting period. Administrative costs were $,964,96. This represents 7% of total program costs. Service payments to CalRecycle are not presented as an administrative expense in the audited financial statements, but rather as a direct California operational expense. Payment to CalRecycle for this reporting year was $355,509. This amount represents % of total program cost. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 26

27 Surplus Funding The net assets or accumulated surplus of the California program at the end of this reporting year was $35,4,056. To illustrate the accumulate surplus, the following table summarizes program revenue and expenses in this reporting year. Financial Summary REVENUE Recovery fees $ 33,834,028 Total revenue 33,834,028 EXPENSES Operations 24,280,786 Administrative,964,96 Total expenses 26,244,982 Investment allocation 62,378 Change in net assets 7,65,424 Net assets, beginning of this reporting year 27,462,632 Net assets, end of year this reporting year $ 35,4,056 B. RESERVE POLICY PaintCare has a Reserve Policy to define and quantify the reserves in each state program. The policy defines reserves as net assets and establishes a minimum threshold of 6% of annual expenses (or, at least two months of operating expenses). This accumulated balance allows PaintCare programs to continue to operate in times of either higher than expected paint collection or lower than expected paint sales (revenue) or a combination of the two. Reserves or net assets represent the accumulated surplus/deficit of the program. In October 204, the PaintCare Board of Directors amended the reserve policy to specify a target reserve amount of 50% of a state program s annual expenses, with a maximum amount of 75%. The previous target was 25% (or, three months of expenses). At the end of this reporting year, the program had exceeded its budgeted surplus. However, despite the large surplus, until a consistent level of paint collection is reached, it is premature to consider changes to the current fee structure. The California program is still in the growth phase and PaintCare anticipates increasing collection volumes and costs for several years as awareness about the program grows and additional sites join the program. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 27

28 Five-Year Projections In the 204 Annual Report, PaintCare noted that the program anticipates reaching consistent collection levels by the end year four. However, after observing that the Oregon program the oldest PaintCare state has continued to increase its volume into the fifth year, PaintCare is reluctant to reach conclusions about the length of time needed to reach program stasis. To ensure that the excess surplus will be brought down, PaintCare also committed to projecting expenses and growth for the next five years (with inclusion of the remaining HHW programs) and include the projection in this annual report. The following assumptions were made: Program revenue remains approximately the same as year three revenue Volume will increase ten percent between years three and four, and eight percent each year after Prices will increase 2.5% each year Five Year Projections YEAR 3 YEAR 4 YEAR 5 YEAR 6 YEAR 7 YEAR 8 FY5 FY6 FY7 FY8 FY9 FY20 Total revenue 33,896,406 34,200,000 34,200,000 34,200,000 34,200,000 34,200,000 Total expenses 26,244,982 29,55,526 32,73,539 36,23,887 40,088,773 44,378,272 Change in net assets Net assets, beginning of year Net assets, end of year 7,65,424 4,648,474,486,46 (2,03,887) (5,888,773) (0,78,272) 27,462,632 35,4,056 39,762,530 4,248,992 39,235,04 33,346,33 35,4,056 39,762,530 4,248,992 39,235,04 33,346,33 23,68,058 This result in 6.2% recovery rate in year eighth, with the reserve reduced to 50% of expense. C. INVESTMENT ACTIVITY Beginning in December 204, PaintCare (as a whole) invested a portion of its accumulated surplus in a financial portfolio. At this time, PaintCare maintains its investments for all programs in a single portfolio. The ownership interest in the investment portfolio is allocated among state programs based on their relative net asset balances. State programs with positive net asset balances have a claim on the assets invested in the portfolio. State programs with negative net asset balances carry a liability representing an amount due to the portfolio. For those state programs that have a positive net asset balance, the rise in value is recorded as investment income and an increase to the amount due from PaintCare. For those state programs with negative net asset balances, the rise in value of the portfolio is recorded as interest expense and an increase to the amount due to PaintCare.

29 Section 6. Education and Outreach Statutory Citation Title 4. Division 7. Chapter. Article 2. Architectural Paint Recovery Program Section Annual Report Compliance Criteria. (a) The annual report must contain the following: (6) Education and Outreach. Describe educational and outreach activities in context of those identified in the stewardship plan. Provide a description of educational materials that were provided to retailers, consumers, and contractors during the reporting period and provide electronic examples of these materials. Identify any method(s) used to determine the effectiveness of educational and outreach efforts (e.g., surveys, hits on specific web pages, number of participants at events, etc.), if applicable. These education and outreach materials may include, but are not limited to, any of the following per PRC 48703(e): (A) Signage that is prominently displayed and easily visible to the consumer. (B) Written materials and templates of materials for reproduction by retailers to be provided to contractors and consumers at the time of purchase or delivery or both. (C) Promotional materials or activities, or both, that explains the purpose of paint stewardship and the means by which it is being carried out. (D) Links to website(s) created and maintained by the stewardship organization. INTRODUCTION PaintCare s education and outreach efforts focus on building awareness of the program and encompass four primary messages: reduce, reuse, recycle which PaintCare has modified to Buy right, Use It Up, Recycle the Rest and proper disposal. PaintCare is committed to providing robust and successful education and outreach using a variety of communication tools. The efforts are illustrated in this section. PaintCare s marketing firm for the California program is Civilian Agency (formerly AdEase) of San Diego, California. PaintCare focuses on Demographic Market Areas or DMAs to customize the mix of media purchasing to the populations of each DMA. PaintCare, through its marketing firm, developed plans for each of the 4 DMAs incorporating all 58 counties in California. The analysis considered different audiences in each market, and determined the appropriate mix of media to reach the most people. The recommendation and the overall media mix for the calendar year 205 is shown below. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 29

30 Out of Home 5% Cable TV 4% Print 8% Radio 2% Digital 5% A. SIGNAGE DISPLAYED TO CONSUMER PaintCare developed a number of signs for drop-off sites to help them let the public know about the program, screen program products, and address concerns they have about illegal dumping. Drop-off sites may order the following signs. All signs are available in Spanish. Some signs are bilingual (English/Spanish). DROP OFF SIGN PROGRAM PARTNER PROGRAM PRODUCTS Intended for the front of a store to let the public know that they can drop off paint. For HHW programs and transfer stations to let the public know that they can drop off paint. Most often used near paint bins as a reference for staff to use to screen program products. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 30

31 COMBINATION NO DUMPING WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE To Inform the public that the site accepts paint and to provide a program products list. To post outside in areas where the public may be inclined to leave paint after hours. For sites that prefer customers notify staff before starting to bring paint from their vehicles. B. WRITTEN MATERIALS (PRINTED MATERIALS) PaintCare distributes printed point-of-sale materials for retailers to use to educate customers about the PaintCare program. The trifold brochure describes how the program works, including an explanation about the availability of drop-off sites, fees and other basic information. The brochure is now available in Chinese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese at the request of retailers. The minicard is a quick reference for customers interested in PaintCare s phone number or website to find a drop-off site. In this reporting year, PaintCare also developed a counter mat with the same information as the poster that was well received by retailers. Program Poster, Brochure, Minicard, Counter Mat, and Painting Contractors and LVP Fact Sheets PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 3

32 PaintCare provides two fact sheets for retailers to distribute to contractors and other commercial customers. ers can order any number of paper copies and they are also available for download from PaintCare s website. The fact sheet for painting contractors was developed for retailers to help educate their customers at the start of the program and is still used. In this reporting year, it was slightly revised and translated into Vietnamese at the request of a retailer. The LVP service fact sheet explains how to request a LVP for those with at least 300 gallons of paint. ers are able to order additional materials as needed, at any time. All publications mentioned above are included in Appendix E. Electronic versions of these publications and others are available from PaintCare s website. PaintCare also worked with two major retailers during this reporting year. Lowes developed a new co-branded counter sign; Home Depot updated the poster that hangs on shelves in the paint aisles. C. PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS OR ACTIVITIES EXPLAINING PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP Facebook PaintCare s Facebook presence increased significantly during this reporting year. In the summer 204, PaintCare started a Facebook account for the Oregon Program and as of October 204, it had 000 followers. In November, the account was changed from a state-specific account to a national account and managed by the Civilian Agency. As of June, 204, the account had almost 20,000 followers. The step increase at the beginning of 205 coincides with the video blog contest described below. PaintCare s Facebook Followers PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 32

33 Press Releases and Earned Media PaintCare did not issue any traditional program-wide press releases, but did issue a few smaller releases to the local papers in areas where new sites were added to the program. Instead, PaintCare through its marketing firm issued press releases about a video blog contest that was held in January. The video blog contest was used to generate interest in PaintCare and increase PaintCare s social media presence. The bloggers created three videos. One video showed old paint aspiring to be used, another was a spoof on a horror film in which a father finds his son playing with leftover red paint, after thinking the house was splattered with blood, and the winning film, Spring Cleaning, shows neighbors telling someone that paint can be recycled and should not be thrown in the trash. The videos are posted on PaintCare s webpage. Commercial Radio From October through December, radio spots aired in the Sacramento area on three stations News/Talk radio, Adult Contemporary, and Classic Rock. From April-June, additional radio spots were aired in Sacramento at the recommendation of PaintCare s marketing firm. (Digital radio was used in other parts of the state.) Public Radio PaintCare ran sponsorship messages on public radio in markets throughout the year. Each station has slightly different requirements for messages. Two examples are below: KQED, San Francisco, July December 204: Local underwriting is provided by PaintCare, the California Paint Stewardship Program, with more than 650 drop off locations in California. Recycle with PaintCare. More at PaintCare dot org. KPCC, Los Angeles, January June 205: KPCC supporters include PaintCare, a non-profit organization representing paint manufacturers. Through PaintCare, the paint industry has set up 700 locations in California where residents and businesses can drop off leftover paint, stain and varnish for recycling. Paint Care is working to build an environmentally responsible and accessible paint recycling program throughout California. Online at Paint Care dot org. "Buy Right, Use It Up, Recycle the Rest. With PaintCare." PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 33

34 Print Advertising Shared Mail PaintCare started to use Red Plum in the fall 204. Red Plum is a shared mail company available throughout most of California that provides an excellent alternative to newspaper advertising. In most cases, Red Plum advertising can be more targeted than newspapers, because clusters of ZIP codes are grouped together. A different ad design was used to list the PaintCare drop-off sites located in the same ZIP codes as a flyer s distribution. Below is an example of the Red Plum advertisement used in Oxnard and Ventura. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 34

35 Newspaper In parts of the state where shared mail advertising through Red Plum was not available, PaintCare placed ads with site listings in newspapers, such as in the first ad shown below used in the Chico/Oroville area In six markets, where radio or other advertising options were limited or unavailable, PaintCare ran general ads in newspapers without site listings. PaintCare also used newspaper advertising to advertise each PaintCare event held during this reporting year, such as the event held in Hemet in March. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 35

36 Magazines The following PaintCare ad ran in the two groups of magazines in November 204 covering the major markets statewide. AAA magazines includes Westways and Via. These magazines were also circulated in southern Oregon; therefore, the ad text mentioned the total number of sites in both states as shown below on the left. MNI Publications includes Country Living, Elle Décor, House Beautiful, More, Real Simple, This Old House, and Traditional Home. Examples of magazine advertisements are shown below. Television PaintCare used three video commercials for use on TV and online. In September 204, PaintCare completed production of a television commercial, titled Buy Right showing a couple discussing how much paint to buy and then asking for advice at their paint store. PaintCare also used two videos from the previous year: Use It Up showed a woman painting small projects ending with the line When you run out of ideas for using up leftover paint, recycle the rest with PaintCare. The third video, Recycle the Rest, showed a man taking paint from his garage to a paint store for recycling. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 36

37 During this reporting year, PaintCare started production on a fourth video (about buying the right amount of paint).the completed commercials are posted at In the fall, 204 Cable TV was used in four rural markets where PaintCare s target audience consists of heavier TV viewers. Stations include AMC, CN, ESPN HGTV and FOOD. Digital Pre-Roll Video and Banner Ads PaintCare dedicated more resources to online/digital advertising during this reporting year. Two versions of the Use It Up television commercial (5 and 30 seconds) mentioned above were used as pre-roll videos or imbedded into online advertising. Online banner ads in a variety of standard dimensions were used in all markets throughout the year. A few examples are shown here: Billboards Throughout the year, PaintCare ran billboards in several markets, including Chico, Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Yuma markets. Examples of two billboard designs used during this reporting year are shown on the following page. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 37

38 Cinema PaintCare s Use It Up video commercial was used in movie theaters just before the movie started (before previews) in six markets, Los Angeles, Monterey, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Francisco, and Yuma markets in 223 theaters on 52 screens in October 204 D. WEBSITE Nearly all PaintCare advertising and outreach efforts direct the public to PaintCare s website for more information and to find a local PaintCare site. The website is easy to navigate and organized by state and within each state by tabs (Everyone, Contractors, ers, Municipalities, and Official Docs). The tab for contractors was added during this reporting year to make it easier for painting contractors, one of PaintCare s critical target audiences, to find information. A screen shot of the California page is shown on the following page. PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 38

39 The California section of PaintCare s Webpage PaintCare s site locator tool covers the entire United States. In PaintCare states, the searches result in only PaintCare site partners. In non-paintcare states, the tool results in all known government and other paint recycling programs. PaintCare s site locator tool, shown below, can be used to find the closest paint drop-off site to any address. The site locator is the most visited page on PaintCare s website. PaintCare s Site Locator Tool PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 39

40 Website traffic from peaked in September 204, coinciding with newspaper advertising and a business-to-business digital campaign. The percentage of website users from California is consistently between 55 and 60 percent of the total users. Less advertising was conducted in November- January due to the holiday season. The large increase in users in April is attributed to the spring advertising. Web Traffic from California E. OTHER OUTREACH Joint Outreach Projects with Local Government PaintCare welcomes the opportunity to work with local HHW Programs on outreach projects. PaintCare will provide creative support and funding in the form of reimbursement for projects that are preapproved. The Joint Outreach Project fact sheet and form for requesting support are included in appendix E. During this reporting year, PaintCare supported the following requests for joint projects. Alameda County: Direct mailing (postcard) with Alameda County s Household Hazardous Waste Program California Product Stewardship Council, on behalf of Mariposa County: Advertisement in program for Butterfly Festival and support of calendar with pages dedicated to paint, oil and other environmental topics (funding in part by a CalReycle grant) City of San Diego: Provided artwork for bill insert (no financial reimbursement requested) Shasta County: Provided artwork and financial support for printing Fall newsletter Yolo County: Provided flyer for April HHW event PaintCare California Annual Report July, June 30, 205 Page 40

41 F. AWARENESS SURVEY PaintCare conducted an online baseline Paint Usage and Disposal Survey in June 203, using Survey Monkey The survey was repeated in June 204 and again in June 205. A summary of results from the 204 and 205 surveys are included in Appendix E. This survey is used to evaluate changes over time in the level of awareness by the public about paint recycling options. PaintCare is especially interested in the questions related to how much paint people store in their homes and whether they know where to recycle unwanted paint. Highlights are below. How much paint is being stored in homes? PaintCare s objective over time is for less paint to be stored in homes across the state. Last year we reported that in general respondents indicated that they were storing less paint in their homes in 204 than in 203. Although it is may be too early to characterize these results as a trend or to attribute it to PaintCare, we again have found that respondents indicated that they are storing less paint this in 205 than in 204. Do people know what is illegal/improper when it comes to disposing of paint? PaintCare s objective over time is that fewer people would answer that they would put liquid paint in trash or pour it down the drain. The difference between the two surveys was insignificant last year, but this year responses show that half the number respondents indicated that they preferred to dispose of leftover paint in the trash (either liquid or dried out) or store it in their homes. There was a drop in the number who said that they had or would take paint to an HHW facility and increase in the number who would take it to a paint store. Use of and awareness of paint stores as a place to take unwanted paint is a key indicator of awareness of the PaintCare program. The number of respondents who indicated that they would take paint to a store more than doubled from last year. The number of people indicating that they know paint can be recycled remained unchanged at 37% and the number of people who said they knew where to take paint actually decreased. These two results were unexpected because so much of PaintCare s advertising uses the word recycling and indicates where to take it or how to find a dropoff location.

42 Section 7. Audits Statutory Citation Title 4. Division 7. Chapter. Article 2. Architectural Paint Recovery Program Section Annual Report Compliance Criteria. (a) The annual report must contain the following: (7) Audits. The annual report shall include an independent financial audit of the California Architectural Paint Recovery Program funded from the paint stewardship assessment. The audit shall be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, and standards set forth in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The financial audit submitted to the department shall be prepared by an Independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA). The CPA shall not perform non-audit services for the manufacturer or stewardship organization that would impair independence as defined in the Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (e.g., accounting services, development of internal controls, management decisions). The independent financial audit shall include: (A) California Architectural Paint Recovery Program financial statements, as required by GAAP. (B) An opinion on the manufacturer or stewardship organization's compliance with the financial aspects of PRC and Title 4, Division 7, Chapter, Article 2 of the California Code of Regulations. (C) Findings and recommendations as they relate to the financial aspects of the Architectural Paint Recovery Program. (D) Management Letter, if issued, by the manufacturer or stewardship organization's CPA. A. AUDIT An independent financial audit was conducted of the California PaintCare program by Rogers & Company PLLC. This independent CPA firm conducted the audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that the firm plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The audit process includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In Rogers & Company s opinion, the financial statements of the California PaintCare program present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position as of June 30, 205, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Please see Appendix D for the independent financial audit report of the California PaintCare program. The audit addresses all requirements of Title 4, Section 8954(a)(7) of the California Code of Regulations as listed at the top of this section.

88 Section Legislation About PaintCare PaintCare Drop-Off Sites In 200, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 343 creating the California Architectural Paint Recovery Program. The new law requires paint manufacturers to develop and implement a program to collect, transport, and process post-consumer paint and other architectural coatings to reduce the costs and environmental impacts of their disposal in California. The program s primary goals are to: () reduce the generation of post-consumer architectural coatings; (2) promote reuse/using up post-consumer architectural coatings; and (3) ensure proper recycling and disposal at their end-of-life. The law allows for the formation of a non-profit stewardship organization to implement the program. To serve this purpose, PaintCare Inc. was formed by the American Coatings Association (ACA), the non-profit trade association for the paint and coatings industry. PaintCare submitted a management plan to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) on behalf of paint manufacturers in April 202. The Department approved the Plan on July 9, 202. The California program began 90 days after Plan approval on October 9, 202. Various studies have demonstrated that between 3 and 0% of all paint purchased is leftover goes unused. To capture this paint, PaintCare will pay for storage containers, transportation and recycling/proper disposal for leftover paint delivered to contracted collection locations like yours. PaintCare will also conduct extensive public outreach about the Program, and promote your store as a Drop-Off Site. Before the PaintCare Program ( Program ), California residents and businesses recycled or disposed of paint through government-sponsored household hazardous waste (HHW) programs or through a hazardous waste management company. The PaintCare Program increases recycling opportunities for California consumers by partnering with hundreds of retail and reuse stores throughout the state to serve as paint Drop-Off Sites. PaintCare Provides Once a contract is established between PaintCare and the Drop-Off Site, the Program will provide the following: Paint storage Collection Bins (usually cubic yard containers) Labels for paint Collection Bins Spill kit (upon request) Recordkeeping forms and/or log book Poster identifying your site as a PaintCare Drop-Off Site Educational print materials for your customers

89 PaintCare Does Not Provide The Program does not provide personal protective equipment (PPE) or gear that may be required by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or California occupational and safety regulations for your place of work. It is your site s responsibility to provide appropriate PPE for your workplace. PaintCare has no authority and disclaims any responsibility to manage, direct, or supervise your employees, representatives, or agents, including how they perform the work and achieve compliance with applicable Law. PaintCare does not have responsibility for making day-to-day and critical decisions regarding the Services that you provide. Who Can Be a Drop-Off Site PaintCare Drop-Off Sites may be any of the following: Municipal household hazardous waste collection facilities (permanent and temporary) Paint retailers including paint, hardware and home improvement stores, and reuse stores (i.e., stores that sell salvaged or excess building materials) Waste transfer stations, landfills, public works yards, and other appropriate, publicly accessible facilities 2

90 General Guidelines for Drop-Off Sites Below are general guidelines for a typical Drop-Off Site. However, we recognize that each location will have unique logistical and operational considerations. PaintCare Drop-Off Sites must make their own decisions and use their best judgment to operate in the safest manner possible in accordance with applicable Law. To be a Drop-Off Site, you must: Accept Program Products from participants during your regular advertised or posted operating hours Have appropriate signage that informs the public of the hours of operation Display the PaintCare poster to identify you as a Drop-Off Site this poster should be posted in a highly visible area, preferably at the entrance Have adequate space, staffing and training to collect and store Program Products and consolidate them only in Drop-Off Sites provided by or approved for use by PaintCare or its contractors to hold and transport Program Products Provide a secure space for empty and full Collection Bins Pack only Program Products into Collection Bins (see Section 3 for a description of Program Products) Schedule shipments of Program Products from your Drop-Off Site Do not accept, handle, pack, or ship Non-Program Products, including unacceptable containers (see Section 3 for list of Non-Program Products and unacceptable containers) because the Drop-Off Site may assume liability for Non- Program Products if it engages in these activities under California Health & Safety Code 2527 Maintain records Train staff to be familiar with the requirements and practices of this guide Have adequate comprehensive and/or commercial general liability insurance to cover potential risks and liability associated with activities on premises Know and comply with applicable federal, state and local laws as they pertain to your Drop-Off Site and train staff accordingly these may include zoning requirements for your activities, state permit requirements (air, hazardous waste, water quality, solid waste, storm water) and OSHA requirements For additional information on state law regarding collection of the Program Products, visit the Department of Toxic Substance Control s website at 3

91 Storage Area for Collection Bins Establish a sufficient, dedicated storage area for Collection Bins and Program Products. Collection Bins must include secondary containment to contain liquids in the event a can leaks while in storage; however, they should also be placed on an impermeable surface (e.g., concrete, asphalt, sealed wood floor) whenever possible. Store Collection Bins away from ignition sources. Place Collection Bins away from storm drains and floor drains. Protect Collection Bins from temperature extremes by storing them inside or under cover if possible. Mark the Collection Bin with the date the first Program Product is placed in it and ensure that no Collection Bin with content is stored for more than six (6) months, as required by applicable Law. If you store Collection Bins outdoors, you may need approval from your local fire or hazardous materials oversight agency. Storage area information should be included in your Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) if required by your local fire or hazardous materials oversight agency. Security The Drop-Off Site should be secured and locked when it is closed or not attended. Only Drop-Off Site staff should have access to the Collection Bins and storage area. Use and Maintenance of Collection Bins Keep Collection Bins closed except when adding Program Products. Maintain enough space around Collection Bins to inspect for leakage and emergency access. Do not overfill Collection Bins. Pack 5 gallon buckets on the bottom layer of the Collection Bins for stability. Pack all Program Products (cans, buckets, bottles) upright and as tight as possible in the Collection Bins to protect contents from shifting and leaking in transit. Use safe practices for handling, storage and management of Program Products. Use good housekeeping standards; keep paint storage areas clean and orderly. 4

92 Section 2 What Is Architectural Paint Accepting Program Products It is an important responsibility for PaintCare Drop-Off Sites to only accept Program Products. Section 3 includes the primary examples of architectural paint products accepted by the PaintCare Program ( Program Products ) and paint or paint-related products not accepted by the PaintCare Program ( Non-Program Products ). Drop-Off Sites that accept Non-Program Products will be responsible for managing all Non- Program Products at the Drop-Off Sites expense. Generally, architectural paints include latex and oil-based house paint, stains and clear coatings. The Program excludes (a) industrial maintenance coatings, labeled for industrial use, or other appropriate wording; (b) Original Equipment Manufacturer coatings or coatings used for OEM applications; and (c) specifically excluded Specialty coatings. Architectural paint is classified as either latex (water-based) or oil-based (alkyd) and the classification is important in order to decide how the product should be handled and recycled. Being able to tell the difference between latex and oil-based products is also important in determining which types of businesses can use the PaintCare Program (see next two sub-sections). Who Can Drop Off Program Products The Program accepts paint from the following: Households. Residents may drop off any Program Product. CESQG Businesses. These are businesses that generate less than 00 kilograms (about 27 gallons) of hazardous wastes per month. These businesses are called CESQGs for Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators. They are often small painting contractors or commercial property owners, but they can be any type of business as long as they do not generate more than 27 gallons of hazardous waste per month. CESQG businesses may drop off any Program Product. SQG and LQG Businesses. These are businesses that generate more than 00 kilograms (about 27 gallons) of hazardous waste per month. These businesses are either Small Quantity Generators or SQGs (generate kilograms of hazardous waste per month) or Large Quantity Generators or LQGs (generate more than 000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month) and are typically larger painting contractors or big manufacturing businesses. These businesses are more heavily regulated and they must use a hazardous waste management company to manage their hazardous waste, including oil-based paint. They may, however, drop off latex-based Program Product at PaintCare Drop-Off Sites. Latex Paint is Special. When post-consumer latex paint is intended for recycling, as it is when accepted at PaintCare Drop-Off Sites, it may be considered by a special California law to be handled and considered non-hazardous waste. Therefore SQG and LQG businesses may drop off latex paint at Drop-Off Sites, even though they may not drop off oil-based paint. 5

93 How to Know If a Business Qualifies Each business is responsible for determining its own generator status under the applicable Law. When a business has oil-based paint to drop off, they must sign the CESQG Certification log, included in Appendix A, to verify that they are CESQGs and therefore qualified to use the Program for oil-based paint. The log includes an explanation of what types of businesses qualify to use the Program. (If a business has only latex paint they do not need to sign anything.) Once signed, you may accept up to 27 gallons of oil-based paint from a CESQG. Certification logs may be reviewed by PaintCare or government agencies and compared with a list of registered hazardous waste generators to see that only CESQG businesses are using the Program for their oil-based paint. Can Drop-Off Sites Charge Fees? Program participants should never be charged a fee; as a PaintCare Drop-Off Site you may not charge residents and qualifying businesses that are dropping off Program Products. 6

94 Section 3 What Is Acceptable Acceptable Containers and Unacceptable Containers Before accepting products from participants, Drop-Off Site staff must () check the product label to verify that it contains a Program Product, and (2) check the condition of the container for acceptance in the Program. Acceptable The Program Product must be in its original container The container must be labeled as containing one of the designated Program Products listed below The container must be in good condition and not leaking The container must be 5 gallons in size or smaller Not Acceptable The container is not original (e.g., paint was transferred into a jar) The container does not have an original label The container is leaking or has no lid The container is larger than 5 gallon The container is empty Program Products and Non-Program Products Acceptable Products (Program Products)j Interior and exterior paints: latex, acrylic, water-based, alkyd, oilbased, enamel (including textured coatings) Deck coatings, floor paints (including elastomeric) Primers, sealers, undercoaters Stains Shellacs, lacquers, varnishes, urethanes (single component) Waterproofing concrete/masonry/wood sealers and repellents (not tar or bitumenbased) Metal coatings, rust preventatives Field and lawn paints Unacceptable Products (Non-Program Products) Paint thinners, mineral spirits, solvents Aerosol paints (spray cans) Auto and marine paints Art and craft paints Caulking compounds, epoxies, glues, adhesives Paint additives, colorants, tints, resins Wood preservatives (containing pesticides) Roof patch and repair Tar and bitumen-based products 2-component coatings Deck cleaners Traffic and road marking paints Industrial Maintenance (IM) coatings Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) (shop application) paints and finishes 7

95 Section 4 Greet the Consumer Examine the Product Operations Participants must be assisted and supervised when they come to drop off Program Products. Drop-Off Site staff should greet participants and verify eligibility of the participant and their leftover paint products as Program Products. Screen products to ensure that only the following are accepted: Container is 5 gallons in size or smaller Original container has original label that is readable Container had a lid and is not leaking Latex paint from anyone Oil-based paint from households and CESQG businesses IMPORTANT: Never open or allow the participant to open a program product container Screen products to ensure that the following are not accepted: Non-Program Products Oil-based paint from SQG or LQG businesses Drop-Off Site Limits While PaintCare Program intends to collect as much Program Product as is available, we recognize that your Drop-Off Site may have storage limitations. PaintCare Drop-Off Site may voluntarily limit the amount of Program Products they accept from a customer. We recommend setting a limit of 5-gallons per participant per visit, though you may accept more at your discretion. If your Collection Bins are completely full, inform the participant that you are temporarily unable to accept Program Products and redirect them to the nearest alternative PaintCare Drop-Off Site (see: or ask them to come back at a later date. Contact the PaintCare Hauler immediately to have your Collection Bins picked-up and replaced with empties. If you have a participant with a significant amount of Program Products that your location cannot manage, contact PaintCare directly for additional assistance. We may direct the participant to another PaintCare Drop-Off Site that can manage the large load or offer a direct pickup. 8

96 Refusing an Unacceptable Product Do not accept any containers that are larger than 5 gallons, empty, unlabeled or leaking, and do not accept Non-Program Products from any participant. When refusing a Program Product, Drop-Off Site staff must: Explain why the Program Product cannot be accepted (not part of Program, unlabeled, etc.) Refer the individual to the local municipal HHW collection program, garbage hauler or health department for assistance; HHW facilities can typically accept Non-Program Products from households and CESQG businesses Storing and Packing Collection Bins Place Program Products into Collection Bins immediately upon acceptance to minimize the possibility of spills. Place 5 gallon containers at the bottom of Collection Bins to provide stability for second layer of gallon and smaller cans. Place all Collection Bins upright to prevent leaks or spills. Pack the Program Products as tightly as possible inside the Collection Bins. This helps to keep paint products from shifting during transit. If being stored outside, keep lids on Collection Bins to keep out rain. Make sure the Collection Bin lid sits flat on top the Collection Bin. All Program Products must be stored in Collection Bins at all times. Never overfill Collection Bins. Contact your local fire and/or hazardous materials oversight agency to find out if you need a Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) specific to your Drop-Off Site to accept and store Program Products. Closing a Drop- Off Site Please notify PaintCare in writing at least 60-days before stopping collection services to give us adequate time to remove your information from Program promotional materials. As soon as possible, remove the poster ( Recycle Your Paint Here ) from the Drop-Off Site and post a new sign at the entrance to the site to notify the public that you will no longer be accepting Program Products. Before your last pick-up, verify that all Program Products and Collection Bins are returned to PaintCare. 9

97 Section 5 Working with Haulers PaintCare contracts with public and private transporters for the delivery of supplies, empty Collection Bins and pick-up of full Collection Bins. Scheduling the Hauler to Pick Up Collection Bins When half of your Collection Bins are full or you anticipate that your Collection Bins will be full within fourteen (4) days in rural areas and five (5) days in urban areas, call your Hauler to schedule a pickup. The name of your Hauler and the contact information is written on the cover of this guide. When establishing an appointment for pick-up, please indicate: That your facility is a PaintCare Drop-Off Site Name of Drop-Off Site and address Your name Your phone number Number of full Collection Bins to be picked up and the number of empty Collection Bins needed for replacement Preparing Collection Bins for Removal On the scheduled pickup day, Collection Bins should be readily accessible to the Hauler for quick and efficient loading. The Hauler will bring shipping documents and Collection Bin labels. Please assist the Hauler with Collection Bin loading and offloading and keep a copy of the shipping documents for your records. 0

98 Section 6 Inspections Inspections and Records Drop-Off Site staff should: Inspect the Drop-Off Site and storage area to ensure Collection Bins are closed properly and the area is secured Inspect Collection Bins for damage and report any damaged Collection Bins to PaintCare for replacement or repair Inspect Collection Bin for damaged or missing labels and correct as necessary Inspect the spill kit monthly to make sure that it is complete and not damaged. Contact PaintCare s hauler to request additional spill kit supplies. Materials will be provided at the next Collection Bin pickup. Record Keeping The following records are to be maintained for a minimum of 3 years: Inspection records CESQG Certification log (see: Appendix A) Employee training records (see: Appendix B) Bills of Lading and/or other documentation required by applicable Law for outgoing shipments of Program Products

99 Chapter 7 Training Training and Safety All employees handling Program Products must receive training in product identification, acceptance, handling, packaging, inspection and emergency response procedures before collecting Program Products or engaging in any PaintCare Program activities. Ensure that employees conduct Program Products collection activities in a safe manner that protects workers and the environment. Ensure Program Products collection activities follow general safety practices including proper lifting techniques. Ensure Drop-Off Site employees are equipped for and understand hazards associated with Program Products. Maintain training plans and records for each employee. A form for recording staff training is included in Appendix B. Safety Store personal protective equipment (PPE) and spill response equipment in an accessible location adjacent to the Collection Bins. Ensure the Drop-Off Site is equipped with appropriate emergency response equipment including a fire extinguisher, spill kit and PPE. Monthly inspections of equipment are recommended. Ensure spill kit contains at a minimum safety goggles, gloves, absorbent, duct tape and plastic bags. Ensure emergency procedures and emergency contact numbers including police, fire department and emergency services are posted by phone near the Drop-Off Site area. If applicable, develop and maintain emergency action plan as required by OSHA. If required by federal, state or local law, familiarize police, fire departments and emergency response teams with the layout of your facility, properties of Program Product handled at your facility and evacuation routes. A form for recording emergency contacts is included in Appendix C. 2

100 Chapter 8 Spills Spill Response The information in this section will assist with spills from damaged or leaking Program containers. It is important that all Drop-Off Site staff understand corrective actions to minimize exposure to people or the environment. Collection Bins should be kept in a clean, accessible area. Avoid spills through good housekeeping, safe handling techniques, proper storage and best management practices. Clean up any spill or release of Program Product immediately and place spill residue in a sealed container in a Collection Bin. Label it. Contact PaintCare to replenish spill kit materials as needed. Reporting Any spill or release of Program Product to the environment through a storm drain, waterway or soil contamination of more than 0 gallons must be immediately reported to the appropriate governmental authority, including the Certified Unified Program Agency, ( CUPA ). Contact PaintCare within 24-hours of making such a report. Post emergency contact numbers including police, fire department, and emergency services. Spill Kits Upon request, PaintCare provides each Drop-Off Site with a spill kit containing: Latex gloves Safety glasses Absorbent Plastic bags Any material used should be replaced immediately after it is used. Contact PaintCare for replacement items. Spill Response Procedures If a spill is small enough to be managed by Drop-Off Site staff, follow these steps: Isolate the area and restrict access to the spill Ensure personal safety, put on protective gear (glasses and gloves) provided in the spill kit Stop the movement of paint by placing the leaking container upright or in a position where the least amount will spill, and place leaking container in plastic bags provided in spill kit Contain the spill by placing absorbent pads or granular absorbent around and 3

101 on the spill if outdoors, place barriers around storm drains to prevent a release to the environment Collect the contaminated absorbent material and place it in plastic bag(s) along with the leaking container and contaminated PPE, seal the bag(s) and place in the Collection Bin Remove any clothing that may be contaminated, wash thoroughly to remove spilled material from your hands or body Replace any used spill control supplies Document the date, location and amount and type of material spilled Immediately report the spill to the appropriate governmental authority 4

102 Appendix A. CESQG Certification Any business may drop latex paint Program Products at this Drop-Off Site, but you may only use this Program for oil-based Program Products if you are a household or a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG). A CESQG is a business that generates less than 00 kilograms (about 27 gallons or 220 pounds) of hazardous waste (e.g. solvents or oil-based paint) per month. If you do not qualify as a CESQG, you must use a licensed hazardous waste hauler for managing your oil-based paint products. By signing this document, I certify that my organization is as a CESQG.

106 What is the PaintCare Program? Slide 2

107 What s the Big Deal About Paint? Of all hazardous waste received by municipal programs for residents and small businesses, 50% is paint Approximately 0% of purchased paint goes unused 0% of annual sales in the US means there are 70 million gallons leftover and available for recycling each year In 2003, stakeholders including local, state and federal governments; paint manufacturers; paint recyclers and others began a conversation to find a cooperative solution for managing post-consumer paint The American Coatings Association (ACA) participated, and the dialogue led to drafting of the model, state-level, industry supported law Slide 3

108 Model Paint Stewardship Law Currently, 8 states and the District of Columbia have passed the industry supported paint stewardship law. Oregon (2009) California (200) Connecticut (20) Rhode Island (202) Minnesota (203) Vermont (203) Maine (203) Colorado (204) Washington D.C. (205) California s went into effect October 9, 202 Slide 3

109 What the Law Requires: Any manufacturer selling paint into CA must operate a program to manage leftover paint by: Reducing the generation of postconsumer paint through buying right education Promoting using up / donating unused paint Provide system for collection and recycling Convenient paint drop-off sites Environmentally responsible paint management Slide 5

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PaintCare Inc. ( PaintCare ) California Architectural Paint Recovery Program ( the Program ), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 205, the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

142 Auditor s Responsibility (continued) We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Program as of June 30, 205, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also used our report dated September 30, 205 on our consideration of PaintCare s internal control over the Program s financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering PaintCare s internal control over the Program s financial reporting and compliance.

146 PaintCare Inc. California Architectural Paint Recovery Program Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 205. Nature of Operations The California Architectural Paint Recovery Program ( the Program ) is authorized by Public Resources Code Section to implement measures to require paint manufactures to develop and implement a program to collect, transport, and process postconsumer paint to reduce the costs and environmental impacts of the disposal of postconsumer paint in California. The Program is administered by PaintCare Inc. ( PaintCare ). PaintCare, a not-for-profit 50(c)(3) organization, was created in October 2009 by the American Coatings Association (ACA), who, working with state and local government stakeholders, passed the first ever paint product stewardship law in the United States in the state of Oregon in 2009 with implementation of the Oregon Program beginning July, 200. The legislation pilots an industry-led, end-of-life management program for postconsumer paint, which PaintCare operates. The PaintCare Board is made up of architectural paint manufacturers and participation in PaintCare is not limited to ACA members, but open to all architectural paint manufacturers. There are no dues or registration fees associated with PaintCare. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting and Presentation The Program s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Unrestricted net assets represent funds that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations and are available for support of the Program s operations. There were no temporarily or permanently restricted net assets as of June 30, 205. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value and represent amounts due for post-consumer paint recovery fees. The Program provides an allowance for bad debts using the allowance method, which is based on management s judgment considering historical information. Accounts are individually analyzed for collectability, and will be reserved based on individual evaluation and specific circumstances. When all collection efforts have been exhausted, the accounts are written-off against the related allowance. At June 30, 205 an allowance of $47,399 was recognized. 6

147 PaintCare Inc. California Architectural Paint Recovery Program Notes to Financial Statements June 30, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Communications Costs On behalf of the Program, PaintCare holds communication-related contracts for advertising, marketing, and consumer awareness. Communications costs are charged to operations when incurred. Communications expenses were $3,859,330 for the year ended June 30, 205, and are included in the accompanying statement of activities. Revenue Recognition The Program recognizes revenue from post-consumer paint recovery fees at the time the architectural paint product is sold by a manufacturer participant of the paint product stewardship program. Manufacturer participants in the Program pay the PaintCare recovery fee to PaintCare based on the amount of program products they sell on a monthly basis. Program participants report their monthly unit sales of paint through a secure, HTTPS online system using their unique user ID and password. The participant must pay a paint recovery fee per unit sold according to the following fee schedule: Half pint or smaller Larger than half pint to smaller than gallon $ No charge 0.35 gallon $ 0.75 Larger than gallon to 5 gallons $.60 As the PaintCare recovery fee is added to the wholesale price of paint and passed through uniformly to the retail purchase price of paint so that the manufacturer, distributor, and/or retailer is made whole in some cases, distributors or retailers have elected to undertake the obligation of the manufacturer for these fees. Thus, PaintCare has allowed remitter agreements in the Program, whereby a distributor or retailer reports and remits directly to PaintCare on behalf of a participant manufacturer s brand or brands. Reports and payment are due by the end of the month following the reporting period. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the various program and supporting activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the accompanying financial statements. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. 7

148 PaintCare Inc. California Architectural Paint Recovery Program Notes to Financial Statements June 30, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Investment Allocation In December 204, PaintCare invested a portion of its accumulated surplus in a portfolio with Bank of America/Merrill Lynch. The sole objective of the portfolio is to earn a return equal to the rate of inflation and thus preserve the purchasing power of its capital. Interest, dividends, changes in market value, and other investment activities are allocated to each state program based on the relative net asset balances of each state program. Oversight of the investments is provided by the PaintCare Budget and Finance Committee and by the PaintCare Board of Directors. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent Events In preparing these financial statements, the Program has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through September 30, 205, the date the financial statements were issued. 3. Related Party ACA, a related party, is a separate, 50(c)(6) nonprofit organization working to advance the needs of the paint and coatings industry and the professionals who work in it. Through advocacy of the industry and its positions on legislative, regulatory, and judicial issues at the federal, state, and local levels, it acts as an effective ally, ensuring that the industry is represented and fairly considered. ACA also devotes itself to advancing industry efforts with regard to product stewardship, through its signature Coating Care resources, and focuses on advancements in science and technology through its technical conferences and journals, as well as online training opportunities. ACA incorporated PaintCare for the sole purpose of implementing programs for post-consumer architectural paint including the recovery program pursuant to Public Resources Code Section ACA maintains a controlling interest in PaintCare through the ability to appoint its Board of Directors. 8

149 PaintCare Inc. California Architectural Paint Recovery Program Notes to Financial Statements June 30, Related Party (continued) In February 20, ACA and PaintCare entered into an affiliation agreement whereby ACA provides staffing, an office, office equipment and furniture, supplies, and other administrative support services. The term of the agreement is for one year and automatically renews for one-year terms unless canceled by either party. For the year ended June 30, 205, total administrative fees charged by ACA to PaintCare were $987,782, and of this amount, $634,56 related to the Program. At June 30, 205, PaintCare owed the Program $35,264,587 related to paint recovery fees that are being held on behalf of the Program and are included in the accompanying statement of financial position. 4. Income Taxes The Program itself is not subject to income taxes. The steward of the Program, PaintCare, is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 50(c)(3), and is exempt from income taxes except for taxes on unrelated business activities. 9

150 SUPPLEMENTARY REPORTS

151 Rogers & Company PLLC Certified Public Accountants 8300 Boone Boulevard Suite 600 Vienna, Virginia voice facsimile INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS To the Board of Directors PaintCare Inc. We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements PaintCare Inc. ( PaintCare ) California Architectural Paint Recovery Program ( the Program ), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 205, the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated September 30, 205. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered PaintCare s internal control over financial reporting ( internal control ) over the Program to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of PaintCare s internal control over the Program. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of PaintCare s internal control over the Program. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. 0

152 Internal Control over Financial Reporting (continued) Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Program s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Vienna, Virginia September 30, 205

The program started in October 202 Paint Stewardship PaintCare Inc. is a non profit organization established by the American Coatings Association to implement state mandated paint stewardship programs on behalf of paint manufacturers in states that adopt paint stewardship laws. In addition to operating the California Program, PaintCare operates programs in Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont. PaintCare is also planning a program for the District of Columbia. PaintCare s primary effort is to establish paint drop off sites throughout each PaintCare state at paint retailers and other locations in order to provide convenient recycling opportunities for the public. Other locations include municipal household hazardous waste facilities and events, solid waste transfer stations, and landfills. There are more than,500 PaintCare sites in the United States; more than 700 of them are in California. Participation as a Drop Off Site is Voluntary ers who wish to serve as drop off sites are able to do so if they have adequate space for paint storage bins and can provide minimal staff time to accept paint from the public. By doing so, retailers can increase foot traffic and sales and provide an environmental service for their community. They make it convenient for their customers to recycle unused paint and help provide relief to local government programs that currently manage leftover paint. PaintCare provides storage bins, supplies, and site training. PaintCare also pays for paint transportation and recycling and promotes the sites to the local community. REQUIREMENTS OF RETAILERS. Check Registered Manufacturers and Brands ers may not sell architectural paints that are not registered. Paint manufacturers must register their company with PaintCare, and they must register all architectural paint brands they sell in the state. PaintCare publishes lists of registered manufacturers and brands at so that retailers can check to see if the products they sell are registered. Convenient Paint Recycling 2. Pass on the Stewardship Fee State law requires that a stewardship fee ( PaintCare Fee ) is applied by manufacturers to the wholesale price of architectural paint sold in California. This fee pays for all aspects of running the program.

161 The fee is paid by manufacturers to PaintCare and then passed to their dealers. ers should see the PaintCare Fee on invoices from suppliers. The law also requires that retailers and distributors apply the fee to the price of architectural paint they sell. The law also requires that retailers and distributors apply the fee to the price of architectural paint they sell. The fees paid by customers to retailers offset the fees charged to the retailers. This ensures a level playing field for all parties. Record Keeping ers are required to maintain records for three years that identify the manufacturer, the date(s) paint was purchased from suppliers, and the date(s) paint was sold to the consumer. ers may maintain this information in any way they believe will verify compliance in the event of a review by CalRecycle, the state oversight agency. CalRecycle may use a variety of mechanisms to verify retailer compliance, including, but not limited to, program awareness, physical inspection, product review, and inspection of records as noted above. CalRecycle has stated that it takes a progressive enforcement approach, with education being the first step in the case of non compliance. If you have additional questions about this requirement, please CalRecycle at [email protected]. COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT FEES How much are the fees? Although fees may change and vary by state in the future, fees in California and other PaintCare states are the same at this time. Fees are by container size: $ 0.00 Half pint or smaller $ 0.35 Larger than half pint to smaller than gallon $ 0.75 Gallon $.60 Larger than gallon up to 5 gallons How are the fees calculated? Fees are set to cover the cost of a fully operating state program. When planning the program, PaintCare estimated the annual sales of architectural paint in California and divided the estimated annual expenses of the program by the number of containers to be sold taking into account the typical amount of unused paint for each container size. Fees may be decreased in the future if they were set too high, or they may be increased if they were set too low to cover expenses. Is the fee a deposit to be returned to customers? No, the fee is not a deposit. Fees are used entirely to cover the expenses of running the program and not given back as a deposit for the return of paint or empty paint cans a common misunderstanding. Must we show the fee on receipts? No, but most stores do show the fee in order to explain the price increase. PaintCare encourages retailers to show the fee and list it as PaintCare Fee to aid in customer education and provide consistency across the program. Do we return the fee if a product is returned? Yes, the fee should be returned because it is part of the purchase price. Is sales tax applied to the fee itself? Yes, the fee is part of the purchase price; therefore, sales tax is collected on the fee. Do we apply the fee to inventory purchased before the program started, even though we didn t pay a fee for the product to the distributor or manufacturer? Yes, retailers must add the fee on all covered products sold on or after the first day of the program, regardless of when they were purchased from the supplier. Fees collected on this inventory stay with the retailer; they are not paid back to the distributor or manufacturer. How does the public know about the fee? PaintCare provides brochures and other printed materials for retailers to distribute to the public to help explain the purpose of the fee, how the program works, and how to find paint drop off locations. Additional materials can be ordered at any time for free. In addition to retailer information, PaintCare works with contractor associations to get information to trade painters, and conducts general outreach including newspaper, radio, television, and on line advertising. What products are covered? Architectural paints include most house paints, stains, and clear coatings (e.g., varnish and shellac). For the definition of architectural paint for the purposes of this program or examples of program and non program products, please contact PaintCare or visit our website.

164 FACT SHEET ABOUT FEES SEPTEMBER 205 Paint Stewardship Programs in the U.S. About PaintCare Fees Laws in PaintCare States* require retailers to add a stewardship assessment to architectural paint products and make sure they are not selling unregistered brands of architectural paint. Paint Stewardship Programs PaintCare Inc. is a non profit organization established by American Coatings Association to implement paint stewardship programs on behalf of paint manufacturers in states that pass paint stewardship laws. The main goals of the program are to decrease paint waste and recycle more postconsumer paint by setting up convenient drop off sites in each state.. What is the Recovery Fee and how does it work? The PaintCare program is funded through a paint stewardship assessment called the PaintCare Fee fees are applied to the purchase price of architectural paint. The fees fund collection, transportation, and processing of unused postconsumer paint, public education about proper paint management, and administrative costs. The fee is paid to PaintCare by paint manufacturers. This fee is then added to the wholesale and retail purchase price of paint, passing the cost of managing postconsumer paint to everyone who purchases paint. This reduces municipal and state government costs for paint management and provides a funding source for a more convenient, statewide paint management program. 2. Do retailers have to pass on the fee? Yes, each state s law requires retailers to pass on the fee to consumers, ensuring a level playing field for all parties. What are the fees? Fees are currently the same in all PaintCare States. Fees are based on container size as follows: $ 0.00 Half pint or smaller $ 0.35 Larger than half pint to smaller than gallon $ 0.75 Gallon $.60 Larger than gallon up to 5 gallons 3. How are fees calculated? Fees are set to cover the cost of a fully implemented program. Working with paint manufacturers, PaintCare estimates annual sales of architectural paint in each state and then divides the cost of the total program in that state by the number of containers sold in that state. Next, the fees are adjusted based on container size by taking into consideration the typical percentage of unused paint for each size (e.g., the percentage of unused paint from one 5 gallon container is typically less than from five gallon containers). PaintCare is a non profit organization, so the fees may be decreased if set at a level beyond what is needed to cover program expenses. Likewise, the fees may be increased if PaintCare does not collect enough money to cover the costs to operate the state program. 4. Are retailers required to show the fee on the receipt? No, but PaintCare encourages retailers to do so and to display it as PaintCare Fee to aid in consumer education. Most stores in PaintCare states choose to show the fee on their receipts in order to inform the consumer about the PaintCare program and to explain the price increase. 5. Do retailers return the fee if someone returns a product? Yes. The fee should be returned as part of the purchase price. * As of October 205, PaintCare has programs in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont. PaintCare is also planning a program for the District of Columbia (September 206).

165 6. Is the fee taxable? Yes, the fee is part of the purchase price of paint. Sales tax is collected on the fee, except in a state that does not have a sales tax, such as Oregon. 7. Is the fee to be applied to paint sold to customers who are exempt from sales taxes? Yes, government agencies and other organizations that are exempt from sales taxes in PaintCare states (except for Oregon which has no sales tax) must still pay the fee, because it is part of the price of paint. 8. Is the fee a deposit that is returned to customers when they bring paint to a drop off site? No, the fee is not a deposit. The fees are used entirely to cover the cost of running the program. 9. Do retailers add the fee on sales starting on the first day of the program (i.e., on inventory purchased before the first day) even though they did not pay fees on inventory to the distributor or manufacturer? [For new programs] Yes, in order to provide for a hard start date, retailers must add the fee on all inventory sold on or after the start date of the program. Fees collected on existing inventory stay with the retailer; they are not paid back to the distributor or manufacturer. 0. How does the public know about the fee? PaintCare provides public education materials to retailers. These materials explain the purpose of the fee, where to take paint for recycling, and other information about the program. When a new state program begins, PaintCare mails a starter pack of materials to retailers. As needed, retailers may order additional free materials from PaintCare. In addition to retailer information, PaintCare works with contractor associations to get information to trade painters, and conducts general outreach including newspaper, radio, television, and on line advertising.. How do we as a retailer know what products to put the fee on? Your supplier s invoice should indicate that you are being charged the fee, so you simply pass on the fee for those items. Additionally, PaintCare and each state s oversight agency list all architectural paint manufacturers and brands that are registered for the program on their websites. ers may not sell brands that are not registered with the program. If your store sells architectural coatings that are not on the list of registered products, please notify PaintCare so we can contact the manufacturer to get them registered. 2. What Products Are Covered? The products accepted at PaintCare drop off sites are the same products that have a fee when they are sold. PaintCare Products include interior and exterior architectural coatings sold in containers of 5 gallons or less. However, they do not include aerosol products (spray cans), industrial maintenance (IM), original equipment manufacturer (OEM), or specialty coatings.

166 FACT SHEET FOR LVP SERVICE UPDATED JANUARY 205 Large Volume Pick-Up (LVP) Service PaintCare offers a free pick-up service to painting contractors, property managers, and others with large amounts of leftover architectural paint. Who is PaintCare? PaintCare Inc. is a non-profit organization established by the American Coatings Association to operate paint stewardship programs on behalf of paint manufacturers in states that pass paint stewardship laws. Paint Drop-Off Sites In states with a paint stewardship program, PaintCare s primary effort is to set up conveniently located drop-off sites places where residents and businesses may take their unwanted paint for no charge. Sites set their own limits on the volume of paint they accept from customers per visit (usually from 5 to 20 gallons). To find a drop-off site near you, please use PaintCare s site locator at or call (855) Large Volumes Pick-Ups For those that have accumulated a large volume or stockpile of paint, PaintCare also offers a pick-up service. Large volume means at least 300 gallons, measured by container size (not content). On a caseby-case basis, PaintCare may approve a pick-up for less than 300 gallons if there are no drop-off sites in your area. After two or three pick-ups, you may be switched to a regular service (see next page). HOW TO REQUEST A LARGE VOLUME PICK-UP. Sort and count your paint We need to know the number of each container size and the type of products you have, sorted into two categories: () water-based paints and stains and (2) oil-based paint and stains and any other program products (sealers and clear top-coat products, such as varnish and shellac). 2. Fill out the LVP Request Form and send it in Fill out a paper or electronic version of the Large Volume Pick-Up Request Form and return it to PaintCare by , fax, or regular mail. (Visit or call PaintCare for the form.) Scheduling After reviewing your form, PaintCare staff will either approve your site for a pick-up or inform you of the best place to take your paint if you do not meet the volume requirement. If you qualify for a pick-up, you will be put in contact with our licensed hauler to schedule a pick-up. It may be several weeks before your pick-up occurs. On the Day of Your Pick-Up Sort your products into the two categories noted above and store them in an area that has easy access. If the paint is a far distance from where the hauler parks, the Drums and Bulked Paint Are Not Accepted PaintCare only accepts paint in containers that are 5 gallons or smaller in size. Leave paint in original cans with original labels; do not combine or bulk paint from small cans into larger ones. If you have unwanted paint in drums or containers larger than 5 gallons, please contact a licensed paint recycling company or a hazardous waste transportation company to assist you.

167 path between should be at least four feet wide to accommodate movement of the boxes. Please plan to have staff available to pack the paint cans into the boxes. The hauler may be able to provide some assistance, but we require your staff to be present and provide labor to pack boxes. Once your paint is properly packed and loaded onto the hauler s truck, you will sign a bill of lading and receive a copy for your records. Your paint will then be taken to an authorized processing facility for sorting and recycling. Note: Paint must be in original containers and not leaking. Repeat Service for Large Volume Users For businesses that generate large volumes of unwanted paint on a regular basis, a service for recurring direct pick-ups is available. With this service, you will be provided with empty bins, then request a pick-up when at least three bins are filled. PaintCare will provide onsite training on how to properly pack the paint, and you will be required to sign a contract with PaintCare. Limits on Businesses If your business generates more than 220 pounds (20-30 gallons depending on the type) of hazardous waste per month, you may use PaintCare s programs (drop-off sites and the pick-up service) for water-based program products only. You will not be able to use the program for oil-based products. If your business generates less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste per month, you may use PaintCare programs for both water-based program products and oil-based program products. As a business, you will need to certify that you meet this requirement. Note: When calculating how much hazardous waste you generate in a month, do not count latex paint. If You Have Products We Don t Accept The program does not accept all paints (such as aerosols and automotive finishes) or other hazardous waste. If you have solvents, thinners, pesticides, or any non-paintcare products (see list to right for examples), we recommend that residents contact their local household hazardous waste (HHW) program. Some HHW programs allow businesses to use their program for a modest fee. Otherwise, businesses should contact a licensed hazardous waste transportation company. What Products Are Covered?

168 FACT SHEET FOR TRANSFER STATIONS UPDATED AUGUST 205 California Paint Stewardship Program Information for Solid Waste Transfer Stations, Recycling Facilities and Landfills California s paint stewardship law supports paint collection activities at solid waste transfer stations, recycling facilities and landfills. The California paint stewardship law requires paint manufacturers to establish a paint stewardship program in California. Sites that participate can save money on paint management costs and expand services to their customers. Program funding comes from a PaintCare Fee applied to each container of architectural paint sold in California. The program started in October 202. Paint Stewardship Program in California PaintCare Inc. is a non profit organization established by the American Coatings Association to implement state mandated paint stewardship programs on behalf of paint manufacturers in states that adopt paint stewardship laws. California was the second state to pass such a law.
