FROM: WATER COMMITTEE Costa
DATE: DECEMBER 1, 1986 C 1V
SUBJECT: FISH AND WILDLIFE STUDY COMMITTEE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Reappoint Leroy (Skip) Bateman, Kent Fickett, Peter Margiotta, and Daniel Pellegrini
to the Fish and Wildlife Study Committee for terms ending December 31, 1988.
2. Authorize the Chair to sign a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency urging
resolution of the Iron Mountain Mine site (near Redding) cleanup of-.toxic metal
pollution into the Sacramento River.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
1. The terms of the following four members of the Fish and Wildlife Study Committee
expire on December 31, 1986.
Leroy (Skip) Bateman - 1431 Ridgewood Drive, Martinez
Kent Fickett - 3969 North Peardale, Lafayette
Peter Margiotta - 122 Castlecrest Road, Walnut Creek
Daniel Pellegrini - 2907 Boulder Creek Court, Martinez
The Water Committee feels that these Committee Members deserve reappointment . to a
two-year term expiring December 31, 1988.
2. The Fish and Wildlife Study Committee has brought to the attention of the Water
Committee the Iron Mountain Mine site (near Redding) which is a source of toxic metal
pollution into the Sacramento River. The Environmental Protection Agency has desig-
nated this site as a Super-Fund cleanup site but there has been delays by the owner
for implementation of the cleanup. In the meantime, toxic metals are being
discharged into the Sacramento River which eventually reach the Delta and the Bay.
Since Contra Costa County is a strong advocate of improved water quality in the
estuary, and toxic pollutants have been identified as one of the major causes for the
decline of fisheries in the Bay/Delta estuary, it is appropriate that the Board write
a letter - to the Environmental Protection Agency urging resolution of the cleanup
delay.
