SUBJECT.: Recommendation to Solid Waste Commission on Landfill Siting
The Board of Supervisors was informed that the Solid Waste Commission is
considering recommending to the Board a study proposal for "backup" landfill
sites to the three privately proposed landfills. At the August 27, 1985 Board of
Supervisors meeting and several prior Board meetings many speakers called for
additional landfill siting studies. Several cities and sanitary districts
have also expressed the need for additional landfill siting studies.
i The Board of Supervisors on May 21 , 1985 encouraged the efforts of the
privately proposed landfill projects to proceed through the permit process.
In order to give the Solid Waste Commission additional direction in their
recommendation to the Board, it is appropriate for the Board to state that the
Board will favorably consider a study to identify possible "backup" site to the
three privately proposed landfills.
The Board has been informed that the Solid Waste Commission intends to
j formalize its recommendation to the Board at the Commission' s October 2, 1985
meeting.
It is by the Board ordered that the Solid Waste Commission is requested to
report back to the Board on October 8, 1985 on the following items:
I . A study scope for evaluating landfill sites identified in the Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District/County Study for possible use as "backup"
to the three privately proposed sites. The study should review sites
at a reconnaissance level and no major geotechnical investigations
should be done on any site during this study.
2 The staff of the Community Development Department should list landfill
site evaluation and operational criteria for presentation to the
Commission and inclusion in the recommendation back to the Board.
These criteria should include the criteria now being used to evaluate
the privately proposed landfill sites during the environmental impact
report process and those that will be used by regulatory agencies in
granting permits to landfills.
3: A recommendation for an appropriate method of funding the study, .
recognizing that several agencies have pledged financial support to
such a study.
4 . A recommendation how cities and sanitary districts, and the public are
to be involved- in the study.
