(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 has demonstrated it has sufficient staff resources, technical
expertise, and/or experience with similar projects to carry out the proposed program.
Approval of Grant Agreement #28-759-12 will allow Contra Costa Environmental Health to continue the
Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program, including agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless
for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the Agreement, through September 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract 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.
