al
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize thehanpz of the<ftafd=t® execute on behalf of the County a
contract with the firm of Engineering Science in the amount of $108,882, for the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the proposed Central Landfill project.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of the EIR consultant ($108,882) is borne by the project sponsor, Central
Landfill, Inc. An additional County surcharge of 25% ($27,221 in this case) for
processing the EIR and printing the EIR documents is also borne by the project sponsor.
Execution of the consultant contract is contingent upon this money being deposited with
the County. The adopted budget anticipates1EIR surcharge revenues.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed project is required by the terms
of the California Environmental Quality Act.
IV. BACKGROUND
The California Environmental Quality Act requires the preparation of an EIR for a
proposed project where the project is subject to a descretionary action by a unit of
government and where there is reason to believe the the proposed project would result in
one or more significant (i.e. adverse) environmental impacts. The project would require a
General Plan amendment and other discretionary actions by the County. The Initial Study
for the project identified several potential significant impacts, and others were identified
by citizens and governmental agencies responding to the project's Notice of Preparation.
The Board of Supervisors anticipated the need for EIR's for landfill applications in
processing procedures adopted on July 10, 1984.
V. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to execute this contract would delay the processing of the EIR and the project's
entitlement applications, including those needed by the sponsor from governments other
than the County. Ultimately, a delay could postpone the availability of a,,-mai jor
component of information which the Board of Supervisors needs to decide(on new
facilities for waste disposal in Contra Costa County.
