Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Grant Agreement #28-759-6 with California Department of Resources Recycle and Recovery (CalRecycle)
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa Environmental Health/General Programs is the solid waste LEA for the entire
county, including all incorporated cities except for the City of Pittsburg. CalRecycle has
been delegated the responsibility for the administration of the program within the state,
setting up necessary procedures governing application by cities and counties under the
program. Contra Costa County (CCC) demonstrates it has sufficient staff resources,
technical expertise, and/or experience with similar projects to carry out the proposed
program. California has more registered vehicles than any other state. As a result,
approximately 40.2 million reusable and waste tires are generated each year. About 1.5
million waste tires are already stockpiled throughout the state, posing a health and safety
risk for the public.
California Department of Resources Recycle and Recovery (CalRecycle) 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.
Approval of Grant Agreement #28-759-6 will allow Cal Recycle to pay the County to
support the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program through September 28,
2012, including agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of
the County’s performance under the Agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Agreement is not approved, the County will not 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 prevent tire fires, nor protect public
health and safety.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
