(a) An agency shall comply with the system of requirements and performance standards set forth in this Article. To implement the performance standards, an agency may require haulers or operators to follow procedures in addition to those set forth in this Article, if necessary to address local conditions.

(b) An agency may set up an alternative reporting system that gathers the required information on the amounts and origins of solid waste, and the amounts and origins of alternative daily cover, alternative intermediate cover, and other beneficial reuse by material type from haulers and operators in a different manner than set forth in sections 18808.7 18808.9, 18809.7, 18809.9, 18810.7, 18810.9, 18811.7 and 18811.9. If a system collects at least the required information, during at least the standard origin survey period set forth in section 18812.6, and the system requires disposal information collected to be reported by the same entities, then the system shall not be considered an alternative system, and shall not require Board staff approval as an alternative system. A system that meets or exceeds all of the minimum requirements using methods specified in this Article, shall not be considered an alternative system, and shall not require Board staff approval as an alternative system. If an agency uses an alternative reporting system, that system shall:

(1) Provide all the information required by this Article.

(2) Provide information as accurate as required by the system in this Article.

(3) Provide landfill disposal information consistent with the number of tons reported to the Board of Equalization that are subject to the fee pursuant to section 48000 of the Public Resources Code and section 45151 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

(c) Prior to using an alternative reporting system, the agency shall:

(1) Provide at least a 30-day notice of the proposed system to, and accept and respond to comments from:
(A) haulers and operators of facilities within the boundaries of the agency,

(B) jurisdictions within the boundaries of the agency,

(C) jurisdictions outside the boundaries of the agency that dispose of waste within the boundaries of the agency, and

(D) the Local Task Force established pursuant to section 18761 of this Division.

(2) Submit a description of how the alternative system meets the minimum requirements and include a copy of the responses to comments received, to the Board for review and approval. Within 30 working days from receipt of this material, Board staff shall inform the applicant, in writing, that the information provided is complete and accepted for filing, or that the application is deficient and what specific information is still required. Board staff shall approve or disapprove of the alternative system within 60 working days from the date the agency submits a completed package. The agency may appeal the Board staff determination to the Board.

(3) Notify all haulers and operators of the approval by Board staff prior to using the alternative system.

(d) If subsequent to approval of an alternative reporting system the Board determines an agency no longer meets the criteria of this section, the Board may rescind the approval.
