SOCRRA
Subject: Grant Opportunities
Board Members:
There have been two recent announcements of recycling grant opportunities. The MDEQ is offering
Community Pollution Prevention (P2) grants totaling $600,000. The Foam Recycling Coalition
(Styrofoam industry) is soliciting grant proposals for increasing access to Styrofoam recycling.
The P2 grants from the MDEQ are limited to one grant for each organization that applies with a
maximum grant amount of $100,000. The grants also require a local match, which can be in any form
including community or SOCRRA staff time, of about 1/3 of the grant amount. Grant applications are
due on April 1, 2015. SOCRRA staff is considering grant applications for the following projects:
1. An updated single stream recycling study
2. Purchase of 65 gallon recycling carts for the area of Beverly Hills that did not receive
recycling grants from the EECBG grant in 2011
3. Possible relocation of our recycling drop-off center to an out lot location in the Meijer’s
parking lot across Coolidge from our Troy facility
4. Commercial recycling expansion in Royal Oak
5. A recycling set-out study in Huntington Woods, and
6. Relocation of a trash compactor in downtown Ferndale to a different parking lot and
repurposing the compactor for recycling service.
SOCRRA staff will be working with the member communities identified above to determine their
interest in submitting a P2 grant application. If your community has any other recycling improvement
ideas that could be funded by a P2 grant, please let me know.
I anticipate that there will be significant competition for the grant money. There has not been this type
of grant money available in several years and there are a large number of communities and
organizations that will be submitting grant applications. I also expect that the MDEQ will try to spread
the grant money throughout the state.
SOCRRA staff is working on a proposal to improve our existing Styrofoam recycling facility for
submission to the Foam Recycling Coalition grant program. This will be a fairly small application.
The grant does not require a local match and is due on March 15, 2015.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: Earth Day Open House-2015
Board Members:
Earth Day 2015 is a time set aside each year to celebrate the earth and to learn ways to protect our
environment. All across the Nation on April 22, 2015, communities, businesses, government and service
organizations organize activities to educate and encourage ways to improve our environment.
This year SOCRRA is hosting an Earth Day Open House event on Sunday, April 19, 2015, 12:00 pm –
3:00 pm. In the past SOCRRA has offered tours for the week of Earth Day, which have been very
successful in reaching out to approximately 350 adults/children. This year we are promoting this event
by having numerous fun activities for all ages.
To volunteer for our Earth Day Open House, Recycling/Green committees should contact Karen Bever
by e-mail at kbever@socrra.org or by calling 248-288-5150. All volunteers are welcome!
I have included our Earth Day flyer with this report.

Subject: Troy Transfer Station Issues
Board Members:
The service that SOCRRA has been receiving from Advanced Disposal at the Troy Transfer
Station has improved significantly in the last month. We obtained written commitments from
both Advanced and their trucking subcontractor, Stansley Industries, to provide sufficient
equipment and manpower to meet our contractual requirements. However, we have still had a
few days during which we have had service issues. We are in daily communication with
Advanced and we are having weekly meetings with Advanced’s management. These service
issues are being regularly addressed with Advanced. I am also concerned about Advanced’s
ability to handle the higher refuse tonnages that will occur as the weather warms.
SOCRRA’s response to the MDEQ notice of violation was submitted on February 13, 2015. The
MDEQ has accepted our response but is waiting to perform another inspection of the Troy
Transfer Station before closing the notice of violation.
SOCRRA staff is continuing to investigate alternatives for containing refuse at the end of each
day if Advanced Disposal is not able to provide a sufficient number of transfer trailers.
We are also working with Mr. Davis to determine what other actions could be taken under our
contract with Advanced Disposal.

Board Members:
SOCRRA submitted applications for the MDEQ’s Excellence in Recycling Awards program in
the Measurement category on behalf of all 12 SOCRRA communities and SOCRRA as a whole.
Grant applications were also submitted for Huntington Woods and for SOCRRA in the
Education and Outreach category.
The awards should be announced in the next 60 days and the award winners will be recognized
at the Governor’s Recycling Summit, which is being held on May 5, 2015 in Kalamazoo. The
Michigan Recycling Coalition annual conference is being held in Kalamazoo immediately
following the Summit. I will let the Board know when the Excellence in Recycling Awards are
announced.

Subject: Oakland County Homeland Security After Action Review-August 2014 Flood
Board Members:
On February 12, 2015, Bob Jackovich and I attended and After Action Review of the August
2014 Flood which was conducted by Oakland County Homeland Security. Representatives of
Berkley, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Royal Oak and Troy also attended this meeting. After
providing an overview of the many accomplishments of Oakland County during the emergency,
each participant in the meeting was asked to present 3 positives about the response to the flood
and 3 suggestions for improvement. That prompted some very good discussion among the
attendees of the meeting.
The three improvements that I identified were:
1. Better disaster planning,
2. Better coordination with Oakland County, both before and during disasters, and
3. Increased ability to handle above normal refuse amounts.
SOCRRA staff will be continuing to work on these issues, and several other issues, that we
identified following the August Flood.
Debris management was one of the common items highlighted by the communities that
participated in this After Action Review.
The three improvements identified by Oakland County were:
1. Making sure sufficient personnel are trained in damage assessment,
2. Developing local support plans,
3. Debris management
Damage assessment was Oakland County’s top priority because of the role the damage
assessments play in obtaining FEMA assistance. SOCRRA staff will be adding damage
assessment, at least from a debris management viewpoint, to the list of items that we will be
working on. I did not appreciate the importance of the debris management estimates that we
prepared in the early stages of the August flood.
SOCRRA staff plans to meet with Oakland County Homeland Security personal to discuss how
we can work together better to prepare for future emergencies and to better respond to
emergencies.
The State Police also attended this After Action Review. They are the agency that will be
distributing the FEMA assistance to the communities. As of mid-February, the State Police had
begun sending out grant application paperwork to the communities that had submitted FEMA

5-E

reimbursement requests. It appears that each community will be receiving several of the
application packages and that they will not be received at one time. Following the submission of
the grant paperwork, the State Police estimated that it would take about a month to receive the
reimbursement funds. As of the date of this letter, I am not aware that any member community
has received reimbursement funds.

Subject: Recycling Bin Blitz
Board Members:
We are proposing to hold another Recycling Bin Blitz during the month of April as part of our
celebration of Earth Day. This is the same type of activity that we have conducted in April and
November since 2009. The Recycling Bin Blitz would consist of the following:
1. SOCRRA would sell generic SOCRRA recycling bins to residents of the member
communities at the MRF at a sale price of $6 during the month of April. This is about
half of the normal price of a recycling bin. SOCRRA would charge each member
community $3 for each bin sold to their residents during the Bin Blitz. This would result
in both SOCRRA and the member community contributing $3 toward the cost of each
bin sold.
2. The member communities (except for Clawson which provides recycling bins to their
residents at no cost) would also sell their recycling bins at the sale price of $6 (or less)
during April. SOCRRA would reimburse the member community $3 for each recycling
bin sold during the Bin Blitz. Again, SOCRRA and the member community would each
contribute $3 toward the cost of each bin sold.
3. The communities and SOCRRA would partner on publicizing the Bin Blitz, which
would be linked to our promotion of Earth Day.
Our previous events have resulted in significant bin sales. If we are able to sell 800 recycling bins
in April, this will result in SOCRRA paying $2,400 and the member communities in aggregate
paying $2,400 in order to provide the reduced price recycling bins.
In order to fund the Bin Blitz, I am asking for Board approval to reimburse the member
communities $3 per recycling bin sold during the month of April. Our miscellaneous recycling
budget for 2014/15 included funds for SOCRRA’s reimbursement expenses for the Bin Blitz.
Respectfully submitted,

____________________
Jeffrey A. McKeen, P.E.

Suggested Resolution: “That during the month of April, a.) the member communities agree to sell
recycling bins at a price of $6 per bin, or less, b.) the General Manager is authorized to reimburse
the member communities $3 for every recycling bin sold in their city, and c.) the member
communities will reimburse SOCRRA $3 for every bin sold by SOCRRA during the month of
April.”
