SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Director of Community Development to execute
Amendment Two to the County' s contract with the consulting firm
of CH2M-Hill to prepare the Environmental Impact Report for Dow
Chemical Company' s Hazardous Waste Incinerator project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Amendment Two to the consultant contract would provide for the
consulting firm of CH2M-Hill to receive an additional $27 ,600 for
extra costs incurred in the preparation of the Final
Environmental Impact Report. An additional 25 percent ( $6,900)
is charged to the applicant to cover the County' s administrative
costs. The total cost, which is borne by the applicant (the Dow
Chemical Company) is $34,500.
BACKGROUND
The Board of supervisors authorized the Community Development
Department to manage the preparation of an Environmental Impact
Report for the Dow Chemical Company' s proposed Hazardous Waste
Incinerator project for the California Department of Health
services (the' CEQA Lead Agency) . In 1986, the Board of
Supervisors approved a contract with the consulting firm of
CH2M-Hill for $109,500 .00 to develop the EIR. In 1988, Amendment
One to the contract, for $82,900. 00, was executed to cover
additional costs incurred by the consultant in preparing the
Draft EIR (public review draft) . The extra costs resulted from
delays in the availability of a Health Risk Assessment for the
project and the necessity to address new regulatory requirements.
Amendment Two is to cover the additional costs of providing
increased substantiation in the Final Impact Report' s Response
Document, which was largely done at the request of Dow' s legal
counsel. The additional FEIR work is described in the attached
letter from CH2M-Hill, dated November 27 , 1989.
