SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S ) a BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize the Director of Community Development
to execute Amendment Two to the County' s Contract with tre
firm of Landon, Wheeler, Weinstein, Inc. for the preparation
of the Environmental Impact Report for the proposed East
Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of the EIR amendment is borne by the project
sponsor, S & J Investments, Inc. The total cost ( $19 , 350 )
consists of the additional consultant charges of 515 , 480 ,
covered by the amendment, plus an additional $3 , 870 for the
County' s 25% surcharge for staff services and expenses.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Amendment Two provides additional monies for the preparation
of the East Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill EIR Addendum.
This addition to the Final Environmental Report for the
project consists of two extended memoranda responding to
comments received at the April 21 , 1987 County Planning
Commission hearing on the Response Document of the Final
Environmental Impact Report.
IV. BACKGROUND
On March 24 , 1987 the County Planning Commission decided to
re-open the public hearing on the project' s Environmental
Impact Report but to limit testimony to the Final EIR' s
Response Document. At the April 21 , 1987 .hearing challenges
to the legal adequacy were made, which in the opinions of
County staff and the applicant' s legal counsel required
written responses. Because the responses (EIR Addendum)
were needed in only a few weeks to meet a June hearing
deadline, it was mutually agreed with the applicant to have
the EIR consultant ( and staff) prepare the materials and
settle accounts on their completion. The Addendum was -
published and distributed on June 12 , and cted on by the
Commission on June 16, 1987 .
