Chapter 3 ADF — GLASS CONTAINER RECOVERY PROGRAM <br />S. We recommend that DEM develop a formal policy and procedure for authorization, <br />documentation, and systematic recordation of changes to its contracts and budgets. <br />9. We recommend that DEM establish a formal policy and procedure whereby financial status <br />reports at contract and program levels are regularly and timely provided to and monitored <br />by a designated budget responsible manager within the department. <br />10. We recommend that DEM obtain specific written clarification from DOH as to whether its <br />"glasscrete" projects will satisfy all or portions of the "glassphalt" paving requirement <br />under HRS §342G$6(a)(2). <br />11. We recommend that DEM work closely with DOH and other counties to address data <br />deficiencies and possible solutions such as, reporting of ADF glass imported or <br />manufactured at both the county and State levels. <br />• DEM should implement the necessary procedhres to obtain accurate estimates of volumes to <br />be processed. <br />12. We recommend that DEM to further research the history of ADF accounting within the <br />State Environmental Management Special Fund and inquire: <br />• How were annual allocations to the counties calculated? <br />How and why was a surplus accumulated if counties needed to supplement ADF programs <br />with their own funds? <br />+ Why were surplus funds transferred to the General Fund when ADF funds were insufficient to <br />cover ongoing glass recovery? <br />13. We recommend that the department and the County address issues created by the severe <br />reduction or possible discontinuation of State funding for the ADF program. <br />91 Z <br />
