improve the health of soil and plants,” said Dean McDonald, Dublin’s public works maintenance superintendent.

Similar to other cities, Dublin’s parks and sports fields are spread with turf, where native soil has been compacted and topsoil has potentially been removed. The majority of sports fields are irrigated with recycled water that provides added nutrients to the turf. However, Schaefer Ranch Park is irrigated with potable water because of its location on the edge of town, and fertilizer must be applied twice a year. The city is planning to apply a layer of compost to Schaefer Ranch Park’s turf to improve soil health with the hope that this will reduce the need for fertilizer application in the future. City leaders are also looking to update first generation bioretention areas with compost to improve the health of the plants and soil to enhance stormwater pollutant removal and help mitigate flooding.

In addition, compost can be used to address an issue caused, in part, by the use of recycled water. The environmental benefits of irrigating with recycled water are great; however, due to the high salinity levels of recycled water, several of the city’s trees (redwoods and camphor) are unhealthy or dying. Given the benefits compost can provide, Dublin’s city leaders are looking to engage residents in an annual volunteer event to help apply a compost blanket around the base of the trees to improve their health. In this way, residents can learn about the benefits of compost, help city trees, and apply compost in the landscape and around trees at their own homes, increasing opportunities for carbon dioxide removal throughout Dublin.

Creating a Carbon Farming Network

StopWaste is encouraging residents interested in climate action to become carbon farmers at home by using compost in their gardens instead of fertilizers and pesticides. The agency is also working with the growing number of urban farms throughout Alameda County to conduct soil tests and measure carbon in areas with and without carbon farming practices.

These efforts will rely on healthy soil, which starts with healthy compost. As statewide legislation drives more organics

to commercial composting facilities, the risk of contamination could increase. Cities can play a major role in getting ahead of this through public outreach and a well-planned roll out. Helping businesses and residents to properly compost is also important in reducing the amount of food that ends up in landfills releasing methane gases, which are 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

StopWaste encourages cities that have the opportunity to sequester carbon in the soil to do so. Whether on rangeland or agricultural land in rural counties, urban landscapes, or residential gardens, it’s important to incentivize carbon farming practices and prioritize them in Climate Action Plans.

It’s not too late to make this planet one we want to know. ■ The StopWaste property hosts multiple uses, including leases for grazing and wind power generation.

SAFETY & RETURN MADE EASY

Keeping Funds Safe Across America

Did you know that thousands of government finance officers use Insured Cash Sweep ® and CDARS ® to keep taxpayer dollars safe? With Insured Cash Sweep, or ICS ® , and CDARS, your organization can access FDIC insurance beyond $250,000 on large deposits placed into demand deposit accounts, money market deposit accounts, and CDs—by working directly with one bank.

And, deposits placed through ICS and CDARS have the potential to earn a rate comparable to prime money market mutual funds 1 with protection that is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Ask your bank if it offers ICS and CDARS, or find one of the thousands that do.

www.ICSandCDARS.com

[1] Deposits placed using ICS and CDARS earn interest at rates set by the depositor’s relationship institution that places the funds. Rates will vary.

Placement of funds through the ICS or CDARS service is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in the service agreements, including the Deposit Placement Agreement (“DPA”). Limits apply and customer eligibility criteria may apply. In the ICS savings option, program withdrawals are limited to six per month. Although funds are placed at destination banks in amounts that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”), a depositor’s balances at the relationship institution that places the funds may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before ICS or CDARS settlement for a deposit or after ICS or CDARS settlement for a withdrawal) or be ineligible for FDIC insurance (if the relationship institution is not a bank). As stated in the DPA, the depositor is responsible for making any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law. If the depositor is subject to restrictions on placement of its funds, the depositor is responsible for determining whether its use of ICS or CDARS satisfies those restrictions. ICS, Insured Cash Sweep, and CDARS are registered service marks of Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC. 0420
