BACKGROUND
The state Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has
determined that an Environmental Impact Report is necessary for
considering the approval of the West County Landfill Inc. ' s
proposed Closure/Post-Closure Plan for the West Contra Costa
Sanitary Landfill Hazardous Waste Management Facility. DTSC is the
Lead Agency for California Environmental Quality Act purposes .
On December 6, 1994 DTSC requested the assistance of the County
Community Development Department under a 1989 Agreement between the
state and the County. On December 13, 1994 the Board authorized
the Community Development Department to provide administrative
environmental review services to DTSC pertaining to the development
of an Environmental Impact Report for the closure of the West
Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill Hazardous Waste Management Facility
pursuant to the 1989 Agreement between the County and DTSC.
The EIR requires the services of a consultant specializing in the
several scientific and engineering fields involved in the
evaluation of the closure of a toxic waste facility. The firm of
Brown and Caldwell was selected through a consultant recruiting
process conducted by DTSC and the Community Development Department .
