SUBJECT: Designation of County Official to Receive Notification

from Various State Agencies
In a January 20 , 1987, report to the Board, Mark Finucane,
Health Services Director, referred to the reporting procedures
required of State agencies as a result of the passage of the Safe
Drinking and Toxics Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition No. 65 ) . He
advised that the most immediate impacts of the implementation of
Proposition 65 are the requirements that all designated State and
local government employees disclose the illegal discharge or
threatened illegal discharge of hazardous waste within 72 hours to the
Health Officer and to the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Finucane
commented on the need to designate one county official to receive
information from the various reporting agencies as well as to have one
official responsible to initiate the appropriate actions required for
public and environmental health protections where indicated. Mr.
Finucane recommended the designation of Dan Bergman, Director of
Environmental Health, as the Contra Costa County governmental officer
to receive these notifications.
Board members expressed an interest in receiving guidelines
from the State as to procedures that would assist in the development
of standards for implementing Proposition 65. They also commented on
the need to coordinate a procedure with appropriate county agencies
relative to compliance with this Act.
Therefore, IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that Dan Bergman,
Director of Environmental Health, is DESIGNATED as the Contra Costa
County governmental official to receive from various state agencies
notifications on illegal discharges and threatened illegal discharges
in accordance with requirements of Proposition 65.
