SUBJECT: CONSIDER DIRECTION FOR COUNTY REGARDING EAST COUNTY WASTE TRANSFER
FACILITIES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Consider direction County should take in relation to proposed waste
transfer facilities in East County as an independent entity and in
relation to our membership in Delta-Diablo Sanitation District.
FISCAL IMPACT
No extra charges against the County General Fund beyond those
allocated -for staff and `legal costs related to solid waste
management and work with Delta-Diablo Sanitation District.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
As part of the 1989 County Solid Waste Management Plan, a solid
waste transfer and material recovery facility was to be located in
East County. Delta-Diablo Sanitation District, over the past few
years, has taken the lead in planning for such a facility for all
of East County.
Separately, a privately owner-operated waste transfer facility has
been proposed and sited within the City of Pittsburg. In Tuesday's
election the voters in Pittsburg gave significant support for the
waste transfer facility located within the City's boundaries.
The viability of two transfer facilities in East County depends on
facility sizing, funding, and commitment of wastestream.
Consideration by the Board and direction on the focus for the
County on this matter is appropriate to assure a cost-effective
effort on behalf of the ratepayers.
