SUBJECT: Hazardous Waste Management Plan EIR Consultant
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) a BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize Chair to execute a contract with California Hazardous
Waste Planners to develop an environmental impact report for the
County Hazardous Waste Management Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
$40 , 000 to be paid with State funds received to complete the
Hazardous waste Management Plan.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
AB 2948 (Tanner, 1986 ) authorized each county to develop a
hazardous waste management plan. Contra Costa County has elected
to develop such a plan. The pian is subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act. Staff has prepared an initial study
and has determined that an environmental impact report is
necessary.. A request for proposals was sent to four consulting
firms. California Hazardous waste Planners was selected from the
two firms that submitted proposals. A scoping session for the
environmental impact report was conducted on August 12, 1987 .
Since the Hazardous Waste Plan will provide general guidance in
facility siting and hazardous waste management, it is appropriate
that a program EIR be developed. Individual projects that may be
implemented to fulfill the requirements of the plan would be
required to undergo separate CEQA determinations. The program
EIR will allow for an orderly environmental review of all hazard-
ous waste related projects.
The draft EIR will be completed about the same time as a draft
Hazardous Waste Management Plan is circulated for review. This
will allow the environmental findings in the EIR to be used in
developing a final version of the plan.
The County Hazardous Materials Commission is overseeing the
development of the Hazardous Waste Management Plan.
