Compliance Procedures – 4 Stages
• Stage 1 – Notification of Potential Stewards
• Stage 2 – MOE Confirmation Letter
• Stage 3 – MOE Enforcement
• Stage 4 – Stewardship Ontario Audits
Slide 13
Stage 1- Notification
• First class letter to all identified potential steward organizations in January
• Phone calls to key potential stewards (Top 300)
• Thorough review & paring of original list
• Follow-up phone call (call centre) to all non-respondents in May/June
• Final warning letter part of procedures before MOE Enforcement
Slide 14
Stage 2 – MOE Confirmation Letter
• Primary purpose to confirm legitimacy of Stewardship Ontario (feedback following call centre activities)
• Supported by MOE Enforcement
• Mailed August 30th with supporting Stewardship Ontario instructions
• Letter targeted at the outstanding notified & registered potential stewards
Slide 15
Stage 3 – MOE Enforcement
• MOE recruiting & training two dedicated enforcement officers
• Preparing 2-3 test cases for enforcement procedures
• Stewardship prepares & transfers file of evidence & contacts
• Once enforcement procedures begins, MOE proceeds to charging
Slide 16
Stage 4 – Stewardship Ontario Audits
• Initial advisory group meeting set for September 1st
• Members include RCC, CCGD, FCPMC, LCBO, Refreshments Canada, BDO Dunwoody
• Decision to be taken on percent of stewards & percent of reported quantities to audit
• Target start date is October
Slide 17
Process to Date
Future Structure Committee reviewed:
• Slides presented at July workshop & webcast
• Notes on Round Table discussions circulated for review & comment by participants
• Comments/submissions received following workshop & notes posted
• Draft discussion paper prepared
Recommendations of Committee approved by Board of Directors for purposes of consultation
Slide 20
Discussion Paper Included:
• Overview of consultation process & timing
• Profile of registered stewards
• Key functions of Stewardship Ontario & key stakeholders identified
• Key governance issues to be addressed
• Broad options for structuring board
• Copies of all background material
Slide 21
Options Identified
• Board consisting of stewards only with voting allocated on basis of:
a) fees only
b) modify existing board to reflect fees paid by sector, or
c) combination of fees paid & quantities of Blue Box waste reported
• Board consisting of stewards & representatives from industry supply chain
• Board consisting of stewards, suppliers & other stakeholders
Slide 22
Principles Identified
• Structure must fairly represent members who pay fees
• Basis for setting fees must be transparent
• Information used to set fees must be accessible
• Board must be accountable to membership
Slide 23
Preliminary Recommendation
Rationale:
• WDO serves as multi-stakeholder body provides oversight of activities of Stewardship
Ontario
• Other affected stakeholders have successfully made their views known to WDO, the Government of Ontario & Stewardship Ontario
Voting representation for board by stewards only
Slide 24
Preliminary Recommendation
Rationale, continued:
• Key issue for AMO is calculation of annual net cost of Ontario’s Blue Box program input is assured through equal representation on MIPC
(which undertakes this work) & through their role on WDO
• Need remains for an industry-only body to manage obligated stewards’ affairs
• Effective mechanism required for input from other key stakeholders NGOs, waste management companies, suppliers
Slide 25
Current Board Structure
• Founding Board of Directors represent 7 existing industry sectors represented on WDO expected to be designated stewards
Food & Consumer Products Manufacturers of Canada
Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors
Retail Council of Canada
Refreshments Canada
Canadian Newspaper Association
Liquor Control Board of Ontario
Canadian Paint & Coatings Association & Canadian Consumer Specialty Products Association
Stewardship Ontario CEO (ex-officio) Slide 26
Size & Composition of Revised Board
• 10 - 15 members with representation by industry sector through delegate steward or trade association
Consumable Products: FCPMC, Refreshments Canada, CCSPA
Retail & Distribution: RCC, CCGD, ORHMA
Beverage Alcohol: LCBO
Printed Media: CNA, OCNA
Other Sectors (TBD): durables (appliances, shoes, etc.)
At large: Stewardship Ontario CEO
Slide 27
Board Sectors
• Should be weighted to reflect fees paid by sector
• Preliminary weightings based upon stewards reports to date:
SECTOR SEATS
Consumables 6
Retail & Distribution 4
Beverage Alcohol 1
Printed Media 1
Other Sectors (TBD) 2
At large 1
Total (maximum) 15
Slide 28
Review Sectors Annually
• Adjust defined sectors & sector weightings if the relative percentage of fees paid by any sector varies by ± 10%
• Staggered appointments for individuals to board would be for three year periods
• Board restructuring through election by membership at Stewardship Ontario’s 2005 Annual General Meeting
Slide 29
Feedback Appreciated On…
• Proposed board governance model• Sector weightings• Inclusion of “other” industry sectors• Options for other stakeholders to have access
to board top-to-top meetings with industry sectors committees of board observers
• Size of board Slide 30
Next Steps
• Review of comments by Future Structure Committee by September 7
• Review & decision of board on September 14
• Forward to WDO
Slide 31
Market Development Backgrounder
3 Part Presentation
1) Review 2003 Blue Box Recovery Rates
2) Present Market Development planned activities for 2005 & impact on fees
3) Invite comment for final input to Stewardship Ontario Board of Directors
Slide 34
Background
• Discuss market development activities as per approved Blue Box Program Plan (BBPP) – i.e. 50% Blue Box recovery by 2006
• Recognize that Minister’s request for 60% diversion of Blue Box materials by 2008 will likely require: additional market development
enhanced recovery efforts (i.e. beyond approved plan)

Blue Box Recovery Summary
• Approved BBPP set target of 50% recovery by 2006 system needed addition of about 35,000 tonnes/year of curbside
recycling from 2002 to 2006 (i.e. total of 145,000 tonnes)
• In 2003, almost 53,000 more tonnes were recycled up from about 33,000 more tonnes in 2002
• Generation of obligated printed papers & plastics are down based on additional waste audit information & in the case of ONP, stewards’ reports
• Projected Blue Box recovery rate has increased from 46.1% in 2002 to 53% for 2003
• Steward reports & an aggressive audit program (through the E&E fund) will be used in 2005 to continue to improve accuracy of Blue Box generation estimates
Slide 37
Three Part Market Development
• The BBPP contains a three part market development program to meet material specific targets: mixed glass,
“green” procurement &
“other material” plans
Slide 38
Glass Market Development Investment Program
Two Glass Funds
1. REOI (longer term)
2. Glass Business Planning/Feasibility Study: “Glass Diversion Fund” (nearer term)
Slide 39
1) REOI (longer term)
• Up to $2 M (from glass Stewards) for 2004/05
• Initiating meetings with GTA municipalities re: mixed glass tonnes available
• Detailed RFP for qualified applicants (fall/winter)
Glass Market Development Investment Program
Slide 40
2) Glass Business Planning/Feasibility Study: “Glass Diversion Fund” (nearer term)
• $500K business planning & feasibility study fund to support projects up to $25K (matching funding basis) e.g. local investment opportunities
• Funding guidelines now posted on Stewardship Ontario website - first project funding expected in fall 2004
Glass Market Development Investment Program
PROGRAM GOAL - stabilize markets, higher value uses, reduce net costs by at least $10/tonne focused on GTA/Golden Horseshoe tonnes
Slide 41
Heard at July Consultation
• Five written responses to July 15 workshop materials: 1 steward; 4 material suppliers
• Common comments: Quality control & increased recovery are of higher importance
for most materials than market development Need for regular “state of the market” meeting for all
stakeholders Limited interest in green procurement Concern regarding Stewardship Ontario’s role on the issue of
cooperative marketing Two targeted materials requiring market development are
mixed broken glass & plastics #3 to #7
Slide 42
Stewardship Ontario Green Procurement Plans for 2005
• BBPP commits Stewardship Ontario to a business planning process that examines potential benefits of launching a new green procurement program
• Steward reaction to research to date has been neutral at best Stewards want to see tangible benefits before making a
major investment Whatever might be done must be voluntary in nature
• Not seen as a 2005 high priority given other pressures & current overall system performance against 50% target
Slide 43
Green Procurement Recommendation
• Focus procurement activities on tangible opportunities (e.g. examine/promote glass-in-aggregate applications developed through the glass fund)
• Participate in MOE & /or WDO – led procurement discussions that may result from Minister’s 60% goal
• On-going business planning to examine potential benefits & costs
Slide 44
“Other Material” Market Recommendations
• No substantial new “Other Material” market development activities recommended until 2005/2008 targets are established by Minister
• Initiate planning for film/other plastics REOI in mid 2005 (for 2006 fees) = $100K in 2005 fees
• Develop “Enhanced Recovery” program plan in 2005 (for 2006 implementation) based on detailed analysis of February 3, 2004 datacall results
• Priorize “least cost next tonne”/enhanced recovery projects though E&E Fund in 2005
Slide 45
Overview
• Key Factors affecting Fees Overall 2005 Blue Box program costs
Generation & reporting of Blue Box waste
• Board decisions for 2005 fee setting
• Preliminary 2005 fee calculations Relative changes for each material
• Next Steps
Slide 49
Background Information
• February 2003 Blue Box Program Plan (BBPP),
particularly,
Section 9.10 - Setting Fees
Appendix XI - Pay In Model, and
Appendix IX - Cost Allocation Principles
• On the Stewardship Ontario website March 2 Presentation on preliminary fees for 2004
Cost Allocation Study - Final Report, March 2004
Slide 50
What Are The 2005 Fees?
• Fees for 2005 are significantly higher than for 2003 & 2004
• Increase in per-kg fee rates range from increases of 1to 2%
to very high increases on % basis
Objective of presentation
• Explain how these increases arise & fall on various material groups
Slide 51
Obligation & Fees• Size of the obligation

Slide 53
Key Factors Causing Increase1. The law requires industry to pay 50%50% of the cost of the
Blue Box system
Until now the industry share has been significantly lessless than 50%
The system is growing – CPI, population, performance
2. The entire obligation must be paid - must make up any shortfall due to fee rates too low
Initial fees set without data from stewards
cost spread over too many tonnes – fee rates generally lower than required
Slide 54
1st – The Rising Obligation
1. By how much has industry paid less than 50% & why?
2. How much is the actual cost increasing & why?
Slide 55
Industry Contribution 2003-2005
Note: Effective discount greater since actual revenues lower than agreed for fee setting

Slide 61
Status Of Collecting Fees
As of August 20:
• Registrations: 2,484
• Obligated stewards reported:1,022
• Amount of targeted packaging tonnage reported: 75.6%
• Amount of projected fees reported: 90.2%
• Projected additional recoverable levies considering possible re-filing: 5.9%
• Projected fees collected: 96.1%

Slide 63
Why The Shortfall?
• There are four reasons for this difference: Imprecision of waste audit data Misreporting by registered stewards Unidentified stewards Non-compliance
• Model allowed for 5% non-compliance & 5% de minimis Meaning fees spread over 90% of estimated generation
Slide 64
Consequences Of Shortfall
• If the expected tonnes are not reported, then the fees will fall short of the obligation
• The shortfall will not be equal for all materials Materials for which reported generation higher than
projected will have over-paid
Materials which were low, under-paid
• Net effect will be a deficit carried over from 03 & 04 program years
AND…..
Slide 65
Consequences cont’d• Potential for shortfall in future years:
if we distribute the fees over generation projections that exceed reported generation
▪ $ allocation divided by tonnes generated
Therefore…..
• Decisions considered by Board to address the two issues: Avoid shortfall in future years
Deal with shortfall from 03 & 04
Slide 66
Board Decision #1
• Tie setting of annual fee rates to quantities reported by stewards Set 2005 fee rates using current & projected
stewards reports
Future years set fees after stewards report quantities
Slide 67
Board Decision #2• Shortfall for 2003 & 2004 => $1.6 million (~2.5% of projected 05
costs including allowance for re-filing)
• To be reduced using unexpended program funds of $500,000 Green procurement Market development planning Compliance Waste audits & program reviews
• Remaining shortfall to be made up in 05 fees =>$1.1 million (<2% of 05 costs)
Slide 68
Board Decision #3Approaches to distribution of shortfall
1. Apply shortfall to specific materials for which shortfall exists
Alternatively,
2. Put a portion (or all) of shortfall across all materials in same way as other general costs (e.g. admin) Since non-compliance is not related to complying
stewards in any specific material
• As reporting improves, resulting over-reporting can be reallocated in future years
Slide 69
2nd Key Cause for Change in Fees• The entire obligation must be paid
Making up the 03 & 04 shortfall in 05
Spreading the fees over a reduced number of tonnes
▪ To prevent compounding shortfall
▪ In future, stewards report before fees set
• The affects are not equal across all materials
Slide 70
Summary Of IncreasesIncreases due to:
1. Increased municipal obligation 40%(removal of discount, increased tonnes, CPI, revenue)
2. Shortfall in fees collected <2%
3. Smaller base of tonnes 23%
Offset by decrease:
• admin & other program costs 48%
Overall increase in fees => 26.7%
Materials not affected equally
Slide 71
Basis of Fee Payments• Same funding formula as in BBPP
• Based on data for 2003: Generation
Recovery
Gross municipal cost
Municipal revenue
• Apportioned to materials using three factors relative cost (40%) recovery rate (40%) Equalization (20%) - cost to achieve 75% recovery
• Add allocations for admin & other program costs Slide 72

Distribution of Admin & Program CostsFor 04 fees
• Distribute program & admin costs according to est. relative # stewards in each material group
• Reduced fixed allocation to LCBO & Newspaper Thinking at the time that relatively few stewards meant a low driver
of cost
But, for 05 fees,
• Recognize need to consider sharing cost not only for members services, but also program work e.g. datacall, verification, cost allocation & program optimization which affect all materials
• # stewards in each material from registration & filing Slide 75

Key Drivers Of Fee Rates• Net cost ($) of all materials increased, except glass
• Overall 3-yr average revenue down, but some more than others
Glass, because of shift to mixed glass, Aluminum, steel down
• Some material revenue increased
Plastics increased on average Other printed paper due to increased share of ONP prices
Slide 78
Key Drivers of Fee Rates cont’d• Relative recovery rates
Other printed paper still low relative to newsprint etc. Aluminum recovery rate reported by municipalities down Paper packaging & plastics up relative to others
• Credit for aluminum lower – realizing lower price & reduced relative recovery rate
• Redistribution of admin & program costs No market development fees for glass Increased allocation (% stewards) to printed paper, aluminum,
steel, glass
Slide 79
Key Drivers of Fee Rates cont’d
• Shortfall in fees due to under-reporting
Combination of fee rates & variance in reporting
Under-reporting for plastic laminants, other printed paper & over-reporting for aluminum leads to shortfall
Over-reporting for steel & clear glass leads to credit
Slide 80
Key Drivers of Fee Rates cont’d
• Removal of in-kind contribution from non-CNA/OCNA newsprint
Contribution also no longer covers CNA/OCNA municipal obligation
• Fee rates higher due to use of reduced base of tonnes (stewards reports)
Note: aluminum credit lower due to higher reporting
Slide 81
In SummaryIncreases in overall fees due to:
1. Increased municipal obligation(removal of discount, increased tonnes, CPI, revenue)
2. Shortfall in fees collected
3. Smaller base of tonnes
Offset by decrease in:
• admin & other program costs
Materials not affected equally Relative recovery rates, costs & revenue
