Subject:Grant Agreement #28-759-4 with California Department of Resources Recycle and Recovery (CalRecycle)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
California Department of Resources Recycle and Recovery (CalRecycle) formerly known as
the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) is dedicated to finding new
uses for these valuable resources, and to work in cooperation with local governments, such
as Contra Costa County (CCC), industries, and the public towards reaching their goals. With
this funding, CCC will be able to monitor and reduce illegal waste tire practices, educate
and enforce proper waste tire management throughout the county, assist in reducing
potential vector problems and preventing tires fires and otherwise protecting public health
and safety. On March 23, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved submission of
application #28-759-3 with California Department of Resources Recycle and Recovery
(CalRecycle).
Approval of Grant Agreement #28-759-4 will allow Cal Recycle to pay the County to
support the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program through September 30,
2011, including agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of
the County’s performance under the Agreement.
