Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background &
Justification
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors as the Board
of Directors of Contra Costa County Sanitation District No.
15 's APPROVE the District's participation in the cost of
drilling two new water wells for the Zone 2 water system in
the amount of $12, 000.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT

2 money that is budgeted for re-drilling of water well No.
2 . These monies have been accumulated from water service
fees.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
In 1975 Boyd Development Company constructed a water system
to provide water service to the Willow Park Marina
condominium project. The water system was accepted by
Contra Costa County Sanitation District No. 15 in 1978 and
Zone 2 was established to provide separate funding and
accounting for its operation. A yearly service fee is
collected from each unit connected to the water system, a
portion of which has been set aside to provide for
drilling of 'new water wells in the event of failure of the
existing wells. Zone 2 provides service solely to the
Willow Park Marina condominium complex.

III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
To relieve traffic congestion in eastern Contra Costa County, the
County has proposed widening and lowering a portion of Highway 4
extending from the Willow Pass Road interchange in Concord to the
Bailey Road interchange in Pittsburg.
The lowering of Willow Pass grade for the project will require
the excavation and grading of large quantities of material. As a
result, this proposed activity would impact approximately two and
one-half acres of wetlands. Currently, Highway 4 has a narrow
median, thus feasible alternatives to impacting the wetland areas
are not available. A preliminary delineation of the wetland
areas within the proposed right-of-way has been conducted by WCC
for Contra Costa County.
The wetlands which would be impacted by the proposed project are
potentially under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (ACOE) , pursuant to their authority under Section 404
of the Clean Water Act. The regulations established under this
law require a permit to conduct development activities in
wetlands. In many instances, such as the Highway 4 project, the
ACOE require a mitigation plan before granting a 404 permit.
Thus, the purpose of the proposed scope of work is to develop a
plan to mitigate the impact on wetlands in the proposed project
area.
The item was heard by the Transportation Committee.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve a Consulting Services Agreement with WCC will
result in a delay in project development, including environmental
clearance. This delay could ultimately result in the loss of
State funds for project construction.
