closure and postclosure cost estimates, current available funding for

3 . expresses the Board's support for a definite closure date for the landfill.
BACKGROUND
The owner of the Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill has requested an increase in the
height limit of the landfill to allow for continued receipts at the landfill,
up to 275 feet. The Draft Environmental Impact Report has been completed and
the comment period closed on November 16, 1990. It is anticipated that a
hearing will be held by the local enforcement officer in mid-January. Any
changes to the Solid Waste Facilities Permit by the local enforcement office
requires concurrence by. the California Integrated Waste Management Board.
Neighbors of the Landfill and the City of Antioch have expressed concern over
the ultimate appearance, use and closure date of the Landfill. Supervisor.' Tom
Torlakson has sponsored several meetings with interested parties to increase
communication and resolve issues. The City of Antioch agrees that a committee
composed of County, city and neighborhood representatives working with the
landfill owner on the closure plan would facilitate the process. A definitive
closure date would also be helpful in allaying neighborhood concerns over
continued operation of the Landfill.
