FISCAL IMPACT The cost of the DEIR is borne by the project sponsor, the Delta Diablo Sanitation District. In addition to the consultant contract, the cost of the DEIR to the project sponsor includes a 30% surcharge ($44, 334) for staff administration services for a total cost of $192 , 114 . BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS The Community Development Department has determined that an EIR for the proposed project is required by the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) . The CEQA requires the preparation of an EIR for a proposed project where the project is subject to a discretionary action by a California unit of government and where there is reason to believe that the proposed project would result in one or more significant, i.e. adverse, environmental impacts. The project requires discretionary approval of the Board of Supervisors in the forms of a General Plan Amendment and a Land Use Permit. Several potentially significant impacts were identified by the project's Initial Study and by responses to the project's Notice of Preparation.

The cost of preparing a Final Response to Comments document depends on the number and content of the comments on the Draft EIR. Based upon past experience, EIP Associates has found that a final response document typically runs 15 to 25 percent of the cost of the DEIR. The consultant will submit a Phase III Scope of Services, Schedule and Budget for the preparation of the final response document after the responses have been received. A contract amendment will be processed by our Department at that time. RV:gms ipO:\bo\EIRcontr.EC4
