The Board on October 27, 1987 continued to this date its
deliberation and decision on the following pertaining to the East
Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill Project:
1. Proposed General Plan Amendment for the East Contra
Costa Sanitary Landfill Project.
2. Proposed amendment to the County Solid Waste Management
Plan.
1
3 . Application for Land Use Permit No. 2111-86. (The
reopened hearing was closed October 27, 1987. )
4. Consideration of the recommendation to concur with the
County Planning Commission' s certification of the project' s
Environmental Impact Report as being adequate.
The Board on October 27, 1987 directed staff to prepare for
the Board' s consideration on this day the appropriate language for the
proposed conditions of approval. Charles Zahn, Community Development
Department, advised that the staff report dated November 2, 1987
continues the discussion of the overall conditions dealing with
the general solid waste management program for the County.
Board members discussed in some detail the various
alternatives and options contained in the staff report.
Supervisor McPeak suggested that the conditions of approval
for any landfill site be enhanced by the additional recommendations
contained in the November 2, 1987 staff report and requested staff to
suggest the manner in which to proceed since the Board adopted these
items in concept last week and had expressed its desire to adopt the
final language at this time.
Supervisor Powers commented that with respect to the
language that is outlined for the additional conditions of approval,
those specific language issues are to be included, and he thereupon
MOVED to adopt said conditions that enhance the conditions of approval
for any landfill site.
Supervisor Schroder SECONDED the motion, commenting that he
presumed that when a development agreement is being developed, that
the specific wording can be developed at that time. He stated that he
agreed that litter control needs to be beefed up not only relative to
the dump but throughout the entire county, but that the problem is not
caused only by haulers of refuse, but by the general public as well.
He further stated that he agreed that the abandoned vehicles problem
should be a strong statement.
Supervisor Torlakson commented that he would want waivers in
any recycling policy so as to not discourage boy scouts and other
bona-fide public groups from participating in litter programs.
Supervisor McPeak noted that the additional conditions had
not changed from the Board' s position of last week, but that the Board
had not been provided the specific language.
Mr. Zahn noted that the evaluation of off-site location for
abandoned vehicles is not addressed specifically in the existing EIR.
Supervisor Powers reiterated his concern for an adequate
litter control program, including education, and funding for same.
The Chair repeated the intent of the motion to adopt the
conditions of approval for all land use permits for landfill sites and
called for the vote. THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS.
Supervisor Torlakson inquired about the status of the issue
of the revenue stream, commenting that it had not yet been resolved.
Supervisor Fanden MOVED that, in connection with the Kirker
Pass Waste Management Landfill project, the Board:
1. Declare its intent to concur with the County Planning
Commission' s Certification of the EIR.
2. Declare its intent to adopt the General Plan Amendment
24-84-CO.
3 . Declare its intent to approve the County Solid Waste
Management Plan Amendment, as submitted by staff, to include Kirker
2
Pass, and transmit amendment to the cities with the recommendation
that they approve it.
4. Direct staff to prepare findings on Items 1, 2 and 3
above and to schedule December 1, 1987 for the Board' s decision on
said items.
5. Continue to December 15, 1987 for decision the proposed
cancellation of Agricultural Preserve Contract 3-75 and Rezoning
application 2683-RZ.
6 . Continue to December 15, 1987 for decision, the
application for Land Use Permit 2079-86, noting that this would
require the applicant to extend the processing time for Land use
Permit beyond December 3, 1987.
7 . Direct staff to work with the applicant to prepare a
. development agreement for the Kirker Pass Waste Management Landfill
and schedule a public hearing on the agreement before the Zoning
Administrator.
8. Fix December 15, 1987 for hearing before the Board of
Supervisors on the proposed development agreement for the Kirker Pass
Waste Management Landfill.
Supervisor Schroder SECONDED the motion, commenting that
after months and months of hearings and Blue Ribbon Task Force
deliberations, it appears that there is no perfect site in Contra
Costa County. He also commented that there has been positive
advancement in technology and control methods for landfills, but there
are diverse opinions on all sides. He also commented that the Board
had found out that if there is to be a landfill, it will be in the
unincorporated portion of the County. He declared that now is the
time to move forward to determine whether these two sites are
acceptable to the County of Contra Costa.
Supervisor Torlakson advised that he wished to go back to
the procedural issues that need to be discussed more thoroughly before
entertaining a motion on landfill sites, including revenue stream and
hazardous material disposal.
Supervisor Powers commented that he supported that concern
and that continuing the decision to December 15, 1987 would provide
for adequate time to negotiate conditions and work with the operators
on the rates, costs, etc.
Supervisor McPeak recommended that the Finance Committee be
REQUESTED to review the revenue stream, cost of public education,
litter control and the Solid Waste Management Program, and report back
to the Board prior to the hearing on the Development Agreement before
the Zoning. Administrator.
Supervisor Fanden agreed to ACCEPT the above recommendation
as an AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION.
Supervisor .Torlakson commented that the motion must be.
viewed in the context that alternative sites are available which have
a lot of community support and support of cities and elected
officials. He stated that it was his opinion that the two sites
before the Board were totally unacceptable and inappropriate. He
stated that Delta Diablo had submitted a site to the Board but had no
response from the .Board, stating that if there had been a positive
response, a completed application would have been accomplished at this
time and be before the Board in a viable way right now. He discussed
working out a reciprocal exchange of capacity with other counties. He
stated that a more appropriate motion would be to deny these sites
without prejudice and allow the Solid Waste Plan Amendment to proceed
on Marsh Creek and Bay Pointe sites in the context of the tentative
solid waste plan amendment.
The Chair clarified the motion, noting that the action was
to be on the Kirker Pass application.
3
Supervisor Torlakson reviewed the criteria from the Solid
Waste Management Plan and commented thereon, and listed all the
reasons he felt the Kirker Pass site is unacceptable.
Supervisor Torlakson MOVED A SUBSTITUTE MOTION to deny the
Kirker Pass site without prejudice and to instead put forward to the
cities an amendment to the solid waste plan that would include the
Marsh Creek and or Souza site in the East County as Delta Diablo has
studied those and presented those sites to this Board on previous
presentations, and the Bay Pointe Site.
Supervisor McPeak SECONDED THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION, stating
that she was doing so because she felt that the Kirker Pass site did
not meet the environmental quality tests and has such severe adverse
impacts particularly on Pittsburg and also on the Concord Pavilion,
but declared that she could not support the Souza Site as the Landfill
Task Force had rejected that site and she was trying to stay within
the recommendations of the Task Force.
Supervisor Torlakson advised that he was willing to ACCEPT
that DELETION from the motion, although he believed it had potential
and it is one that maybe the Task Force did not directly as in depth
consider because Delta Diablo was presenting Marsh Creek as its number
one choice.
Supervisor Powers requested clarification that the motion as
stated also included S. 1 on the agenda today which is a request for an
amendment to the Solid Waste Management Plan which was carried over
from the October 27, 1987 agenda.
Supervisor McPeak acknowledged that the motion included the
proposed amendment as set forth in S. 1, and agreed that if the
substitute motion failed, approval of S.1 would also fail.
Supervisor Fanden requested staff clarification that the
County Planning Commission had recommend approval of the Kirker Pass
site and that they did discuss the transportation issues.
Mr. Zahn reviewed the various considerations entertained by
the Planning Commission as it processed the Kirker Pass application
including traffic on Railroad Avenue and reductions in traffic
resulting from having first to go to a transfer station as well as the
kinds of vehicles.
Supervisor Fanden spoke to the need for transfer stations,
her concern about access roads and a study she had done with respect
to alternatives and the cost of providing alternatives routes.
The Chair called for a roll call vote on the substitute
motion. The vote was as follows:
AYES: Supervisors Torlakson and McPeak
NOES: Supervisors Powers, Fanden and Schroder.
The Chair announced that the SUBSTITUTE MOTION FAILED TO
CARRY, including the matter covered in Item S. l on today' s agenda
relating to addition of sites to the Solid Waste Plan.
The Chair announced that the Board would again consider the
main motion and requested discussion be limited to only those issues
which have not yet been addressed.
Supervisor Torlakson advised that he had another comment and
another approach. He commented that he knew there was opposition to
the site from at least five cities and there was jeopardy in getting
site approval and advised that he wished to offer another substitute
motion to put the Kirker Pass site forward with the Marsh Creek site
to the cities as tentative landfill sites in the solid waste plan
which would then allow the official votes of the cities to be
registered and allow the Board a sense of comparison without delaying
this site substantially or killing it in some sense maybe the majority
4
of the Board would not want to see happen, stating that it leaves the
door open for that kind of a poll to take place and see if there is a
consensus around another site.
Supervisor Torlakson then MOVED THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION that
in lieu of approving the Kirker Pass site, that instead the Board
delay approval and that the Solid Waste Plan be amended to include the
Kirker Pass, the Marsh Creek and the Bay Pointe sites as tentative
sites in the County' s Solid Waste Plan.
The MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
The Chair called for a ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION
WITH THE AMENDMENT to include the referral on costs to the Finance
Committee. The vote on the motion was as follows:
AYES: Supervisors Powers, Fanden and Schroder
NOES: Supervisors Torlakson and McPeak
The Chair announced that the MOTION PASSED and the items
before the Board will be acted upon as indicated in the timetable
contained in the motion, and staff is asked prepare as soon as
possible the information for the Finance Committee on the public
education and the Solid Waste Management Program so the Board can look
at the costs associated with it.
Supervisor Powers then MOVED that, in connection with the
East Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill project, the Board:
1. Declare its intent to concur with the County Planning
Commission' s certification of the Environmental Impact Report.
2 . Declare its intent to adopt the General Plan Amendment
6-85-CO.
3 . Declare its intent to approve the County Solid Waste
Management Plan Amendment, as submitted by staff, to include the East
Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill in the Plan, and after approval, to
transmit the amendment to the cities with the recommendation that they
approve it.
4 . Direct staff to prepare the findings on Items 1, 2 and 3
above and to schedule December 1, . 1987 for decision on said items.
5. Continue to December 15, 1987 consideration for decision
on Land Use Permit 2111-86 .
6. Direct staff to work with the applicant to prepare a
development agreement for the East Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill and
schedule a public hearing on the agreement before the Zoning
Administrator.
7 . Schedule December 15 , 1987 for hearing on the proposed
development agreement for the East Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill.
Supervisor Schroder SECONDED THE MOTION.
Supervisor Torlakson declared that there as an even greater
number of cities and people opposed to this site and that, to his
knowledge, there is no public body that has recommended it with the
exception of an agency in West County, and that he was opposed to
putting a landfill site in between two regional parks. He again
reviewed the criteria from the Solid Waste Management Plan to this
proposed site and listed all the reasons he felt the site is
unacceptable. He again reviewed his support of Delta Diablo' s site
and his disappointment that the Board had not considered the
alternative sites he had suggested. He stated he had letters from San
Ramon, Danville, Walnut Creek, Brentwood, Pittsburg, Antioch, and
Clayton indicating opposition to the Garaventa site, noting that meant
seven cities opposed the site and only two more are needed to block
the amendment to the Solid Waste Plan.
5
The Chair noted that she had a letter from the Concord
Chamber of Commerce stating their position in support of the Garaventa
site, still in opposition of the Kirker Pass Site.
Supervisor' Powers commented on the West County Cities '
position, advising that there had been many hearings and everybody has
had the opportunity to .comment. He declared that he favored an
advisory vote on the next ballot, and commented that if a new landfill
site is not approved, everyone can expect to pay more for garbage. He
further declared that both sites have undergone significant
environmental review. which shows that any negative impacts are minimal
and that significant mitigation measures have been requested.
Supervisor Powers further commented that with the adoption
of the conditions of approval, major concessions that are
unprecedented in the garbage industry have been won, citing rate
review, recycling, litter control, abandoned vehicle storage, host
mitigation, strict landfill development coordination, household
hazardous waste program, and other significant conditions that will be
required to make the landfill a healthy and safe project. He stated
that given the significant concessions that have been required of the
landfill applicants, he felt he must approve the sites and after
weighing all the concerns and comments, he was satisfied that the
process should continue.
Supervisor Torlakson inquired if the motion included the
approval of the proposed truck route on Highway 4 to the Garaventa
site and the enormous rate implications for the ratepayers of West
County which he felt would result. He inquired of staff their opinion
of what the results would be if the access is blocked down Hillcrest
and away from Lone Tree Way which he declared is the City of Antioch' s
intent so as to protect its community.
Supervisor Powers responded that all sorts of obstructions
can be placed in the way and this one is clearly intended to do that.
He advised that the cost implications to go to Altamont could not be
compared, considering the steepness of the grade, and the distance
being so different than to the Eastern part of the County.
Supervisor McPeak advised that her understanding of
Supervisor Torlakson' s questions to staff and counsel has to do with
whether or not any change in routing of trucks through actions by the
City of Antioch would have impact on the motion that is pending before
the Board if it is adopted.
Counsel responded that he assumed that if the Board approves
the permit and it is not possible for the applicant to go on the roads
which the present proposed conditions would require them to use, they
would come back and apply to the Board to amend the Land Use Permit
and at that time there would have to be a decision and a study made to
determine if there needed to be further environmental considerations
and there would also be public hearings.
Supervisor McPeak stated that approval of the Land Use
Permit is not before the Board at this time, that the motion was to
continue consideration of the Land Use Permit to December 15, 1987.
Supervisor Powers requested that the cost items for the East
County. Site also be referred to the Finance Committee for evaluation.
Supervisor McPeak advised that the previous costs referral
to the Finance Committee was generic and was not site specific to the
Kirker Pass Site.
Supervisor McPeak commented, on the motion, that the cost of
an out-of-county export program is the worst of all cases and whatever
money is paid for it, however little or how much, it is never going to
be returned to the communities of Contra Costa and therefore those
dollars should not be spent elsewhere if it can be avoided and that
means action as soon as possible.
Supervisor Powers addressed the implications of delays by
6
lawsuits or whatever means, and advised that such undertakings could
actually prevent in-county disposal of waste. He commented on the
current technology and state of the art of operating landfill sites.
Supervisor McPeak commented on the applications before the Board,
stating it had been a long process for the parties to go through. She
stated that from what she had determined, both applicants had dealt in
good faith with the County and with the public. She commented on the
unfortunate circumstances of the change of position by some of the
community agencies which she believed had been in favor of the East
County site. She stated that she has urged that the cities be given
the opportunity to have the information the Board has before them so
they can decide which site or sites they would find acceptable by
being able to look at the two that are pending and the alternatives
identified by the Landfill Task Force and decide yes or no on
approving an amendment to the Solid Waste Plan.
Supervisor Torlakson responded to Supervisor Powers and staff ' s
information about the road alternatives if the City of Antioch is
successful in blocking truck access down Lonetree or Hillcrest.
He suggested cooperation by all parties to avoid an out-of-county
export situation. He suggested that it makes a lot of sense for West
County to develop its own site. He stated that he feels it is the
Board' s responsibility to pick a site that is environmentally sound,
yet one that is likely to be approved.
Supervisor Powers commented on the length of time it takes from
application time to completion time, and that he believed that all
prospective landfill sites will have a tremendous amount of
disapproval and opposition and probably lawsuits.
The Chair called for a vote on the 7-point motion on the East
Contra Costa Landfill, with the same amendment on the issues of the
financing and costs for an education program, review of revenue
stream, litter control and the Solid Waste Management Program go to
. the Finance Committee for final details and report back to the Board
on or before December 1, 1987. The vote was as follows:
AYES: Supervisors Powers, Fanden and Schroder
NOES: Supervisors Torlakson and McPeak
The Chair announced that the MOTION PASSES and the issues that
are remaining for Board action will be scheduled on December 1, 1987
and for review of the prepared findings; and, on December 15, 1987 for
decision on the Land Use Permits on both applications and on the
Cancellation of the Rezoning Application and the Agricultural Preserve
and for the Kirker Pass Waste Management Landfill site. . The hearings
before the Zoning Administrator will be as soon after the Board acts
upon the report from the Finance Committee as is feasible.
Supervisor Torlakson REQUESTED that County Counsel provide the
Board with a legal analysis of the implications of any request by
Delta Diablo Sanitation District proceeding with the landfill siting
process application options on land and/or ownership of land outside
their district boundaries and further that County Counsel provide this
Board with information as to the Solid Waste Plan, and what a
tentative site designation means if the Board were to consider
additional sites as tentative sites in the Solid Waste Plan.
