1 CRT Television costs are the real problem. The state electronics law should either be modeled after the tire/whitegoods program (significantly more revenue for counties) or make allowances for CRT Television leaded glass to bedisposed of in lined MSW landfills.

1/6/2016 9:23 AM

2 The e-waste recycling program is simply not sustainable. Our processing and transportation costs that had been zero,now cost approximately $350.00/ton. That rate is 7-8 times our tipping fee. Further, there is no way to recoup thesecosts via tipping fees. If we were to try and charge $30.00-$50.00 to throw away an old console television - Frankly,we would probably never see another one at the landfill. However, the rural side roads, ditches, woods, streams, etc.will probably see plenty. CRT's could easily become the tire dumps of the new millennia.

1/5/2016 12:51 PM

3 It started with the House bill in 2015. 1/5/2016 8:09 AM

4 Effects of HB765 could cause a 150% increase in the cost of TV processing. 1/4/2016 11:14 AM

5 I believe, along with many others that the state should lift the ban on TV's 1/4/2016 9:01 AM

6 we have already spent $75,000 in first 6 months of this FY that was not budgeted. we have just made a budgettransfer of an additional $50,000. we have instituted a $10/unit fee on TVs but are beginning to find more illegaldumping and many that are being slipped into dumpsters to wind up at the landfill at no charge, which we remove andas a result all the illegal dumping circumvents the disposal fee.

12/31/2015 8:01 AM

7 We anticipate continued cost increases as more residents switch to flat-screen tvs. We are in remote location, so not alot of choices on vendors.

12/30/2015 3:03 PM

8 Packaging cost have increased and some electronics are bulky and light making it difficult to get weights on trailers. 12/30/2015 1:17 PM

9 The declining commodity markets had a significant impact on pricing from electronics recyclers. 12/30/2015 12:58 PM

10 Scavenged TV's costing counties, ban them from disposal, people throw them out on road. Accept them-pay for properdisposal

12/30/2015 12:43 PM

11 To be brief: Moore County receives approximately $7,000 in disbursement from NC. Moore Co. spends approximately$65,000 each year on the program.

12/23/2015 9:26 AM

12 It should be treated like white goods and tires with counties getting reimbursed for the disposal or they should bepermitted in subtitle D landfills. Prices changes to much with the commodity market. Hard to set a contract

12/22/2015 1:17 PM

13 We will begin being charged for scavaged / broken CRT's. I believe cost will be $0.10 per pound. 12/22/2015 9:31 AM

14 None at present 12/18/2015 1:12 PM

15 The vendors have all started charging and none are on the State Contract. Even if they do negotiate a new Contractthe vendors are going to charge because they say the commodities markets have all collapsed. We anticipate for thenew future to pay $0.30 per pound for TVs and monitors -- which make up the vast majority of what we have. Loadshave been costing us around $5,500 including transportation. We started charging for TVs ($15) and peripherals ($5)on 12/14/15. We do not expect these charges to cover the costs. We also get less that $1600 per year from the State.This whole program is going to cost the tax payers in the county.

16 These tonnages represent the 3 counties of Perquimans, Chowan and Gates. But some overall e-waste issues for thecounties of Perquimans, Chowan and Gates are: • Very labor intensive material to handle w/ workmans’ comp caseinvolved. • Aprox. 3-4 times more expensive to recycle then to landfill ($255/ton vs. $68/ton landfill tip fee) • Attractspests/vermin when stacked and awaiting shipping (cats, cockroaches, birds, etc.) • Attractive nuisance to public whencollected because folks interested in: salvaging certain units, precious metals, reuse parts, resell in yard sales, etc.Leaving the worst or most obsolete e-waste parts to market. • When banned from waste stream some individualsresort to disguising it as bagged waste in next visit, illegal dumping in swamps/woods or right-a-ways instead of takingit to designated collection sites within each county. Potential Improvements? • Combine it with existing white goodsprogram since e-waste has many potential precious metals? • Advocate for an advance disposal tax such as scraptires & white goods? • Is there any "actual science" out there to show that these are truly dangerous to dispose of inlandfills? Have apparently had some “bad-apple” e-waste recyclers that have gone out of business only to leaveabandoned warehouses in NC as designated Superfund cleanup site from formerly handling this material. • Currentappropriations based on population are paltry to keep e-waste recycling sustainable. • Charging or collecting a fee fore-waste at local level or landfill is politically unpopular at moment. Just some thoughts and have shared with folks atNCACC like Matt Gunnett too..... Thanks, Brad Gardner

12/16/2015 11:01 AM

17 Program costs have already increased greatly with very little advanced notice causing a severe economic hardship onthe landfill

12/16/2015 8:30 AM

18 Transportation cost for disposal is $400.00 a load. 12/15/2015 3:56 PM

19 everything is relative to market pricing 12/15/2015 1:28 PM

20 At this time we have a 3 three contract that has no charge for televisions. Contractor is wanting to cancel this contractand start charging

12/15/2015 9:41 AM

21 With the increase in cost, we are looking at an increase of approximately $80,000 per year to recycle our electronics.We are currently reviewing our options to see how this will be managed.

12/15/2015 8:40 AM

22 Costs associated with ewaste disposal does not included collection/handling/shipping. The $3,500 we receive eachyear will barely a portion of these costs.

12/14/2015 4:32 PM

23 We collect curbside or at semi-annual e-waste drives. We deliver to the Cumberland County Landfill who in turn has itcollected by an electronic waste processing firm.

12/14/2015 4:29 PM

24 Old console and tube tv's are not going away, they continue to remain the main part of the wastestream and make itvery costly.

1 Leaving the manufacturer rebates in the hands of the electronics recyclers is not a good idea! 1/6/2016 9:24 AM

2 Due to the nature of the wastes, and the commodity value of copper and other metals, recycling these materials iscertainly preferable to landfilling. However, the current costs of recycling is threatening local programs and theirabilities to manage these materials in a responsible way. The e-waste ban has converted from an environmentallysound program into another, in a long line of, unfunded mandate by the State. The program needs more funding, andthat funding gap cannot be made up from the local programs.

1/5/2016 12:57 PM

3 We need to find a way to cut this cost for counties 1/5/2016 8:11 AM

4 See #13 1/4/2016 11:14 AM

5 the only way to make this program work is the assessment of advance disposal fees like the whitegoods program.CRT's are not the only program. when that waste stream lessens the next problem will be the mercury content in thefirst generation flat panels. this is a burden that will no0t be going away. the dollars being spent to comply with thismandate has to come from somewhere and I fear it may be at the expense of other recycling programs.

12/31/2015 8:04 AM

6 Would be better to landfill the tvs than have them exposed to the elements. They would at least be in a lined landfill. 12/30/2015 3:05 PM

7 Take TV's off the banned items list! 12/30/2015 1:18 PM

8 Manufacturer's funding of e-waste recycling programs worked. It wasn't "free money", as some have alleged. We workvery hard to ensure that the increasing volumes of e-waste are managed properly. Proposed changes to the programwould have cost the county an additional $200K per year to manage a waste stream that is banned from disposal inNC landfills. If there is a disposal mandate, there should be funding in place to properly execute the mandate.

12/30/2015 1:01 PM

9 none 12/30/2015 12:43 PM

10 I would like to see large (over 40") non- CRT TV's allowed in Landfills. 12/22/2015 9:34 AM

11 None at present 12/18/2015 1:12 PM

12 This whole program was set up wrong. The intent was for the OEMs to pay for the recycle but they have big pocketsso they politic-ed their way out of paying by dealing with people who did not know what they were doing or how all ofthis was supposed to work. If you want electronic recycling to work there is going to have to be a surcharge on allelectronics much like tires or white goods. Then, if you can keep the politicians greedy hands off that pot of money,you may be able to fund the recycle program. Good Luck with that!

12/17/2015 9:19 AM

13 Electronics manufacturers should be required to bare the cost of recycling with a tax just like tires and white goods toprevent illegal dumping of electronics.

12/16/2015 8:33 AM

14 A lot of county have started a program because of the ban. They can't go back now and say they're not banned. Thiswould be a night mare for local governments. Getting citizens to recycle is hard enough. Locals tell them this and youwant get anything recycled.

12/15/2015 3:59 PM

15 our total ewaste collection at this facility was 235.42 tons for the last fiscal year 12/15/2015 1:29 PM

16 Program needs to support itself 12/15/2015 9:42 AM

17 the computer data given includes some other electronics 12/15/2015 8:57 AM

18 We could charge our residents a flat rate or per pound to dispose of their televisions but with the size of some of thetelevisions we are afraid this could lead to illegal dumping of the hazardous waste.

12/15/2015 8:42 AM

19 Product producer responsibility will need be addressed. There should be support from the manufacturers of electronicproducts to manage end-of-life disposal and recovery. This industry's products need to be evaluated continuously inorder to coordinate with all organizations that are involved with: resource materials, design, manufacturing, shipping,vendors, users, collection at end-of-life, disposal and reclamation. Working together from the conception to grave canprove to be more environmentally friendly, more cost effective and no one gets off scot-free.

NC SWANA E-Waste Cost Analysis

1. Please provide estimates for your local e-waste program listed below: Minimum Maximum Average Annual man hours required to operate program: 150 2964 1231 9 Respondents Annual manpower costs to operate program: $1,200.00 $48,442.00 $21,337.02 9 Respondents 2. Please list current per pound costs for e-waste by the following applicable commodity type:

Minimum Maximum Average Televisions (CRT) in $/pound: Fee/(Credit): $0.00 (2*) $0.40 $0.20 10 Respondents Televisions (non-CRT) in $/pound: Fee/(Credit): $0.00 (2*) $0.27 $0.12 8 Respondents Monitors (CRT) in $/pound: Fee/(Credit): $0.00 (2*) $0.27 $0.15 8 Respondents Monitors (non-CRT) in $/pound: Fee/(Credit): $0.00 (2*) $0.25 $0.15 8 Respondents

1 reply listed @ $2.00/unit –not calculated in average Computers - $/pound: Fee/(Credit): $0.45 Credit $0.15 $0.075 Credit 10 Respondents Mixed E-waste - $/pound: Fee/(Credit): $0.01 Credit $0.19 $0.05 9 Respondents Other e-waste - $/pound: Fee/(Credit): $0.02 Credit $0.19 $0.05 8 Respondents * After contacting the two respondents reporting $0.00/lb, both noted that the information was current, but subject to change at any time, and both were anticipating a per pound fee in the future.

Executive Note: Average costs above compared to North Carolina tonnages reported: Taken from North Carolina Solid Waste and Materials Management Annual Report FY 2013-2014: Tons Pounds Average $/pound Total Manufacturer Contributions Televisions (@ CRT): 9,314.94 18,629,880 $0.20 $3,725,976 $87,500.00 Televisions (@ non-CRT): 9,314.94 18,629,880 $0.12 $2,235,586 Other Electronics (@ all other categories): 5,470.99 10,941,980 $0.063 $689,344.74 $617,500.00

The figures above are overly simplified due to small sample size and lack of tonnage information by commodity listed. These figures do demonstrate that costs to local County programs during this time could have been in excess of $4.5Million. Estimate probably low due to CRT televisions and monitors generally making up the bulk of the weight, and they are the highest cost categories. Additionally, the average costs are anticipated to increase as the two remaining respondents begin paying for processing. The final column demonstrates the financial difference between the television and computer manufacturer’s responsibilities.


3. Please list your annual tonnages of e-waste by category below: Minimum Maximum Average Televisions: 35.80 tons 1,195.74 tons 213.7 tons 9 Respondents 4. Please list real or estimated costs for each of the headings below for any year prior to 2015: Minimum Maximum Average Operational: $0.00 $36,157.40 $11,027.68 8 Respondents Transportation: $0.00 $33,000.00 $4,781.25*

8 Respondents Processing: ($12,000) $118,637.00 $15,946.86* 7 Respondents * Figures above include one large facility as an outlier to remaining respondents. Without figures from that facility, the average cost for Transportation is: $750.00; and the average cost for processing is ($1,168.17). 5. Please estimated annual costs for each of the headings below for any 12 month period moving forward: Minimum Maximum Average Operational: $0.00 $36,721.36 $13,121.34 7 Respondents Transportation: $0.00 $185,650.00 $28,744.57

7 Respondents Processing: $0.00 $989,350.00 $168,853.93 7 Respondents

Executive Note: Individual Comparison of questions 4 & 5. Tons/year Increase in Transportation Cost % Increase Increase in Processing Cost % Increase 1. 1,195.74 $152,650.00 463% $870,713.00 734% 2. 80.00 $6,000.00 6,000/0 CNC $38,000.00 38,000/0 CNC 3. 79.39 $3,000.00 240% $16,023.31 321% 4. 35.80 $2,312.00 2,312/0 CNC $12,800.00 12,800/0 CNC 5. 129.76 $0.00 0/0 CNC $75,813.20 75,813.20/0 CNC CNC= Cannot Calculate – Number divided by zero cannot be defined. Again, this is a small sample size, but the results above do demonstrate that the increase in costs can be profound regardless of tons managed.

NC SWANA M. Chris Stahl, President 109 Sierra Drive Franklin, NC 28734 [email protected]

November 23, 2015 From: North Carolina Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America (NC SWANA) Board of Directors To: Jessica Montie, Hearing Officer N.C. Department of Environmental Quality

RE: Comments on Proposed Amendments to 15A NCAC 13B .0105 (d) On behalf of the over 500 members of the N.C. Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America, we

respectfully submit the following comment on the proposed amendments to 15A NCAC 13B .0105:

As currently proposed: 15A NCAC 13B .0105 (d): Vehicles or containers used for the collection and transportation of any solid waste shall be loaded and moved in such a manner that the contents will not fall, leak, or spill and shall be covered when necessary in order to keep contents dry and prevent blowing of material. If spillage should occur occurs, the material shall be picked up immediately by the solid waste collector and returned to the vehicle or container. and the area shall be properly cleaned. Recommended Revision: Reword paragraph (d) as follows: 15A NCAC 13B .0105 (d): Vehicles or containers used for the collection and transportation of any solid waste shall be loaded, secured and moved in such a manner that the contents will not fall, leak, or spill and shall be covered during transportation when necessary in order to keep contents dry and prevent blowing of material. If spillage should occur occurs, the material shall be picked up immediately by the solid waste collector and returned to the vehicle or container. and the area shall be properly cleaned.

Justification: The provisions of the subsection appear to be aimed at prevention of loss of materials or liquids as

pertains to the transport of waste by residential and commercial collection trucks. The original rule language was adopted in 1982, before the advent of county convenience sites and transfer stations, both of which as a matter of common practice, load into open-top containers or trailers before being covered and transported. The same holds true for roll-off containers used at construction sites. The words “when necessary”, in the original language, permitted some flexibility in the applicability of the rule in current operational practices. It is not possible to keep vehicles and containers covered during the time they are being loaded at fixed locations such as convenience sites, transfer stations and construction sites. It is also not possible to use solid, waterproof covers during transportation that would be subject to lifting off the vehicle at highway speeds, a very dangerous hazard. For that reason, haulers use a mesh-type material that secures the waste in the vehicle or container, but is not subject to wind damage. We believe clarification of this language would prevent potential confusion in the interpretation of the rule.


December 8, 2015 NC SWANA Members and Solid Waste Managers; The North Carolina Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America (NC SWANA) would like to update you on recent legislative changes regarding the North Carolina Electronics Management Program, and the pending Study of the current state of the Program. As most of you are aware, the Electronics Management Program was born out of the Solid Waste Act of 2007. The Program goals were to keep e-waste out of landfills; create a program to facilitate the proper recycling of e-waste; and to require electronics manufacturers to contribute financially to the Program based on market share and sales in North Carolina. To date, these goals have not been achieved. Due to depressed commodity markets; CRT processing costs and capacity; and uncertainties in the Program, the gap in funding continues to grow and the operation of local e-waste recycling programs is becoming critically burdensome. NC SWANA has been monitoring the e-waste recycling program for the past year via correspondence with our membership; regulatory agencies; and local and state officials. NC SWANA’s Technical Committee and Lobbyist have taken an active role in reviewing draft legislation, and attending hearings and committee meetings since the publication of House Bill 765. Additionally, we have met with Legislators in an attempt to educate them of the impacts repeal of the manufacturer’s responsibility would have on local solid waste operating budgets. In fact, NC SWANA was instrumental in amending the ratified Bill to remove the repeal language in place of a Study. NC-DEQ has been tasked with completing this Study prior to the 2016 Legislative Session. NC SWANA believes that it is in the best interest of our membership to compile information from solid waste facility managers faced with the issues of cost and processor capacity. Please find and complete the survey found at this link: www.surveymonkey.com/r/NCSWANAEMPS. It is our goal to compile the data collected from this survey ahead of the NC-DEQ study, and make the findings available in the Study process. Please submit your response to the survey by January 8, 2016. The NC SWANA Board of Directors has not taken a position with regards to proposals that would seek to end the electronics landfill ban; lessen the provisions of the ban; or request a moratorium on the ban at this time. The goals of the Program promote resource conservation, and environmental stewardship; fundamental tenets of our organization. We do support the position that the growing gap in Program funding should not be born exclusively by local governments, and that the existing Program is not sustainable, and has not functioned as intended. Moving forward, it is our goal to continue to educate ourselves and our membership on the evolution of the e-waste recycling industry and associated programs. We anticipate the NC-DEQ study will confirm that changes are required to create a sustainable program, and will recommend favorable solutions for local programs. Should this outcome not be reached, NC SWANA may advocate for additional relief in some form on behalf of our membership. Also, the attached information sheet provides additional “talking points” regarding the e-waste recycling. Please share this information with staff, local officials, Legislative Representatives, North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, and North Carolina League of Municipalities as applicable. From what we have already learned; educating policy makers is one of the most impactful strategies our industry can utilize to promote sustainable changes to the electronics management program in North Carolina. Thank you in advance for your time and cooperation in development of the survey data. Respectfully, M. Chris Stahl President, NC SWANA

http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NCSWANAEMPS

Additional comments and information for consideration:

- As referenced in the letter, the State Study is focused on promoting additional funding for the program from manufacturers or

other funding sources to lessen the burden on local operations. While this is a worthy position to take, the viability of this focus is dubious. It is hard to imagine the NC Legislature would propose ending manufacturer’s responsibility during the 2015 Session, and propose to increase the responsibility levels during the 2016 Session. This reinforces the need to educate local and state officials, and to seek additional pathways toward creating a sustainable e-waste program.

- Depending on the success of the Study with regard to financial relief to Counties/Cities; NC SWANA may recommend that the North Carolina Legislature amend §130a-309.10(k) to include subdivisions (14) and (15) of subsection (f).

§130a-309.10(f)

(14) (Effective July 1, 2011) Discarded computer equipment, as defined in G.S. 130A-309.131. (15) (Effective July 1, 2011) Discarded televisions, as defined in G.S. 130A-309.131.

§130a-309.10(k) A county or city may petition the Department for a waiver from the prohibition on disposal of a material described in subdivisions (9), (10), (11) and (12) of subsection (f) of this section in a landfill based on a showing that prohibiting the disposal of the material would constitute an economic hardship.

It could be argued that this provision was intended to include electronic wastes as they were not excluded from previous versions of the Bill; and, the fact that the electronics bans and recycling programs were created after the original Solid Waste Act. This change would at least create potential pathway for relief to Counties on an individual basis. Again, NC SWANA does not foresee promoting, or even suggesting any organization take advantage of this potential amendment. However, it would at least create an additional option for internal discussion for individual local programs.

Please also find the listed publications for additional information regarding e-waste, and CRT recycling: NC-DENR: 2013-14 North Carolina Solid Waste and Materials Management Annual Report FY 2013-2014; Electronic Management Program, pp. 33-36. The Report can be found here: http://portal.ncdenr.org/c/document_library/get_file?p_l_id=4649434&folderId=23241613&name=DLFE-113296.pdf

- Using tonnage estimates from the report, and anecdotal information on pricing from e-waste processors, the annual cost for management of televisions will be approximately $5 Million annually, and these estimates do not include CRT computer monitors.

- Also, please read the Manufacturer’s Responsibilities portion of the report (p.33). It is important to understand the differences between the computer and television programs.

SWANA Applied Research Foundation Report – The original report is available on the SWANA website for purchase. The findings are referenced in many subsequent trade magazine articles including: http://www.solidwastemag.com/features/landfills-control-heavy-metals/

MSW Management September/October 2012: http://digital.mswmanagement.com/publication/?i=121524&p=20

- As beneficial as recycling CRTs may be to the environment in recovering raw materials such as copper, the reality that millions of pounds of these wastes stored in uncontrolled and accessible environments creates a greater environmental risk than placing them in a lined Subtitle D landfill.

Mr. Chris Stahl December 21, 2015 President, NC SWANA Dear Mr. Stahl, The 2016 DiscoverE North Carolina Future City Regional Finals will take place on January 23, 2016 at the McKimmon Center at NC State University in Raleigh, NC. We are currently requesting your support in sponsoring this competition. What is the Future City Competition? 40,000 students in grades 6th, 7th, and 8th work in teams with their engineer mentor and educator to imagine, design, and build cities of the future. Along the way, they learn about engineering and technology, develop their writing and public speaking skills, practice teamwork, and apply math and science to real world issues.

During the competition student teams: 1. Design a city using SimCity software. 2. Create a 1500-word City Description describing

their city and their solution to this year’s Waste Not, Want Not challenge.

3. Use recycled materials to build a scale model of their future city.

4. Present their city to a panel of judges at the regional competition day.

5. Complete a City Project Plan to help them organize their city, set team goals, and decide check-in dates to monitor their progress.

This year’s theme centers on waste management, teams will design an innovative citywide solid waste management system for their future city that is safe, environmentally sound, and energy efficient. The North Carolina Regional winning team will compete in the National competition in Washington, DC during National Engineers Week. Learn more about Future City at www.futurecity.org. How you can help! Our goal is to raise $32,000 in corporate sponsorship to cover this year’s competition expenses and the help you provide would be greatly appreciated. Your support will make this competition a success.

The funds raised will help cover the following expenses: • Event day venue, lunch and other competition day expenses • Cash awards for winning schools • Competition travel funds • Teacher stipends to cover material expenses they incur

Please review the levels of sponsorship on the attached pledge form.

How we recognize sponsors? All sponsors are included in our competition day program, and displayed prominently on signage at competition day. In addition, sponsors will be listed in all NC press releases. We anticipate an attendance of over 350 middle school students, 50 NC middle school teachers, 250 parents, and 100 engineering professionals. Due to the educational and community importance of the Future City Competition event, various media outlets-print and broadcast-have provided valuable coverage throughout the years, and we expect the same this year as well. Specific sponsorship opportunities provide additional opportunities for exposure. For example, sponsoring a specific specialty award related to your area of focus ensures that students throughout the state will be talking about your organization in the weeks and months leading up to event day as they prepare to win as many specialty awards as possible. In addition, we are amenable to all other suggestions in regards to specific sponsorship opportunities, and recognition. As a service to the community, we ask your organization to donate generously to this competition. With your donation, you are investing in the problem solvers of tomorrow. On behalf of the regional planning committee, and the Professional Engineers of North Carolina, I thank you for your support of the North Carolina Regional Future City Competition. Sincerely,

Gary Taylor North Carolina Future City Treasurer 919-414-3509 [email protected] Nancy Shaw North Carolina Future City Regional Co-Coordinators 919-265-8421

Please send me an invoice. Please send me a receipt.

Here is my evaluation of the requirements that must be met by NCSWANA in order to be PCI Compliant to offer credit card payments through our website:

1. We have to declare the type of service we will offer, the simplest being that StarChapter manages all credit card data. This means our membership enters CC data into our website (which is not stored by StarChapter). NCSWANA will not collect, manage or store any CC data. All data is entered online by our members.

2. A completed questionnaire is required to become PCI compliant. After answering 63 questions, a T0-Do list was generated to meet the requirements. See attached.

3. NCSWANA needs, at minimum, to have in place or develop the following: (3) Policies - Refund (completed), Shipping, and Privacy; as well as Terms and Conditions; and more detailed Contact Info. I am currently matching our Privacy Statement, Terms and Conditions, and Contact Info with National SWANAs website.

4. Additional needs: Formal Security Awareness Program 5. NCSWANA can only use a "Virtual Terminal", which means we conduct all

transactions through the website - no faxes, paper exchanges, receipts, etc.

I requested a Control Scan be conducted on our website, which is s requirement of PCI Compliance. I will also coordinate with our account rep at Merchant One for advice on the To-Do list. Since we will use a "Virtual Terminal", we may be able to remove one or two items from the list. After all of the above is addressed, we should be able to generate a single SOP for offering credit card payment service on the website. Thanks,

Below are the requirements which you have left to fulfill in order to become PCI compliant. After addressing these items, log into mycontrolscan.com to complete your SAQ

The security policy and procedures clearly define information security responsibilities for all personnel. This requirement applies to any personnel who are physically present at the business location or otherwise have access to the company's cardholder data environment. "Personnel" includes full-

http://mycontrolscan.com/

time and part-time employees, temporary employees, contractors, consultants, vendors, and business partners.

Update your security policy to ensure that information security responsibilities are clearly outlined for employees and contractors.

Without clearly defined security roles and responsibilities assigned, there could be inconsistent interaction with the security group leading to use of outdated or unsecured technologies and an unsecure credit card processing environment.

Reference: 12.4

A formal security awareness program is in place to make all personnel aware of the importance of cardholder data security. This requirement states that all of your employees must receive a formal security awareness training. This training should provide your employees with instructions on protecting credit card information and should address the importance of securing cardholder data.

ControlScan's Security Awareness Training Service will thoroughly train your employees on how to detect and avoid security threats. This comprehensive program is designed to stimulate secure behaviors at all levels of your organization so that your network environment and cardholder data remain secure. Our library of courses utilizes interactive communication methods to thoroughly educate your employees on the importance of protecting cardholder data. <a href="https://www.controlscan.com/smartsaq/sat/?site=%partnerId%" target="_blank">Click here</a> to request more information or to purchase.

Create a security awareness training program and have all employees complete it.

If personnel are not educated about their security responsibilities, security safeguards and processes that have been implemented may become ineffective through errors or intentional actions.

Reference: 12.6a

A written agreement is maintained with all service providers that store, process, transmit, or impact the security of cardholder data. The agreement includes an

https://www.controlscan.com/smartsaq/sat/?site=%25partnerId%25

acknowledgment that the service providers are responsible for the security of cardholder data. The exact wording of an acknowledgement will depend on the agreement between the two parties, the details of the service being provided, and the responsibilities assigned to each party. The acknowledgement does not have to include the exact wording provided in this requirement.

Review your contract with each service provider to ensure there is a written agreement regarding credit card data security.

The acknowledgement by the service providers signals their commitment to maintaining proper security of cardholder data and thus holds them accountable.

Reference: 12.8.2

There is an established process for engaging service providers, including proper due diligence prior to engagement. In your security policy, establish and document processes and procedures for engaging service providers. It should include a risk analysis prior to establishing a formal relationship with the service provider. Ensure these processes and procedures are followed before hiring a service provider.

An established process better ensures that any engagement of a service provider is thoroughly vetted internally by the organization, lowering the risk of a data breach.

Reference: 12.8.3

Service providers' PCI DSS compliance status is monitored at least annually. Contact all your service providers and ask each one about their compliance status at least once a year. For example, contact your service provider each time you need to complete an SAQ.

Knowing your service providers' PCI DSS compliance status provides assurance that they comply with the same requirements that your organization must follow. If the service provider offers a variety of services, this requirement applies only to those services actually delivered to you, and only those services in scope for your PCI DSS assessment. For example, if a service

provider offers firewall/IDS and ISP services, a client who utilizes only the firewall/IDS service would only include that service in the scope of their PCI DSS assessment.

Reference: 12.8.4

Information is maintained about which PCI DSS requirements are managed by each service provider, and which are managed by your organization. Create a document to state which PCI DSS requirements are managed by other companies.

The specific information your organization maintains will depend on the particular agreement with your providers, the type of service, etc. The intent is for the assessed entity to understand which PCI DSS requirements their providers have agreed to meet.

Reference: 12.8.5

An incident response plan has been created and is ready for use in the event of system breach. Create an incident response plan for use in the event of system breach.

Incident response plans help businesses react quickly to any security breach. An incident response plan should contain all the key elements to allow your company to respond effectively in the event of a breach that could impact cardholder data. These elements include designation of roles to responsible personnel, correction of system vulnerabilities, procedure for notifying card brands, and necessary steps to restore service and maintain business continuity.

SWANA Launches Safety Ambassador Initiative at Chapter Level

Silver Spring, MD – As part of the expansion of its safety program, the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) is pleased to announce the launch of its Safety Ambassador initiative at its 45 chapters in the United States and Canada.

Under this new program, SWANA chapters will identify a member to serve as their Safety Ambassador. The Safety Ambassador becomes an immediate and useful local resource for other members to ask questions and get answers about important safety and compliance-related information. Safety Ambassadors will serve as safety leaders in their chapters, and are likely to speak at chapter events about how to reduce accidents and injuries.

“This initiative is an important example of SWANA’s effort to make safety part of the DNA of our association at every level,” said SWANA Executive Director and CEO David Biderman. “By having Safety Ambassadors in each chapter, members from coast to coast will have a go-to person for safety-related questions and information. This will be an important component of our effort to get the industry off of the federal government’s list of 10 most dangerous jobs.”

Several SWANA chapters have already appointed their Safety Ambassador and look forward to working with their members and other industry professionals to help reduce accidents and injuries in the solid waste industry.

“Safety related incidents continue to plague our industry at a rate that is way too high,” said SWANA Florida Chapter’s Safety Ambassador Chad Grecsek. “As the newly appointed Safety Ambassador for the Florida Chapter, I look forward to this challenge and working with colleagues both in the public and private sectors to evaluate the data and identify innovative and proven solutions that aim to reduce health and safety related incidents.”

SWANA’s Safety Ambassador initiative is being sponsored by Alliance Wireless Technology, Inc. (AWTI).

“AWTI is proud to extend our partnership with SWANA to its new Safety Ambassador Initiative,” said AWTI/3rd Eye MobileVision President and CEO, Darrick Reed. “Efforts such as this strengthen and promote the most important principle we must all strive for … making sure every employee and the public they interface with go home safe EVERYDAY.”

Quad-State 2017

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This may be a repeat for some, but I wanted to contact everyone regarding the 2017 Quad-State Conference in North Carolina. As many of you may be aware, Quad-State is considered a Regional Symposia. Therefore, we must meet the schedule requirements required by National regarding WasteCon. The Policy is attached below. WasteCon 2017 is sited in Baltimore, MD. Per the first bullet point below, all four states have some area of their Chapters that are within 500 miles of Baltimore. Thus, we are not able to hold Quad-State in any of our host states between April and November 2017. I would like to schedule a conference call with all of you in January (after the holiday madness) to discuss what action to take with regard to this conflict. NC Past President, Joe Readling, has agreed to host the conference call from his office. An invitation to the call will follow once scheduled. I propose Tuesday, January 12, 2016 as a potential date. Actual date and time will be based on feedback from you all as to your availability.

Possible actions for consideration:

1) Postpone Quad-State until Fall 2018 (modify 2-year cycle), or Fall 2019 (maintaining current 2-year cycle).

2) Hold Quad-State in March of 2017 or Spring of 2018. I understand that some Chapters only hold Spring Conferences, so this may not be a good option.

3) Proceed as per our schedule, ignoring the edicts of National. Ok, that one was just to see if you were still paying attention.

Whatever decision we reach, North Carolina would like to remain the host Chapter for the next event. I look forward to speaking with everyone and coming up with an amiable solution for all the Quad-State host Chapters.

Thank you.

Chris Stahl
