behalf of the County, Standard Contract #22-475 with Denise Blondo,
for the period from January 1, 1994 through December 31, 1924, in the
amount of $31,440, for consultation and technical assistance to the
.Environmental Health Division to implement the Used Oil Public
Education Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded by the California Integrated Waste Management
Board (CIWMB) . No County match is required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONSIBACRGROUND:
Each year 1.7 million gallons of used oil are improperly disposed of
by Contra Costa County residents. At the state level, this amounts to
60 million gallons annually (six times the amount of the Valdez oil
spill) . In an effort to provide a solution to this problem, the State
Legislature has enacted the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act
which provides funds to cities and counties to implement used oil
collection programs that encourage recycling or appropriate disposal
of used oil.
This project will provide a countywide public education program to:
implement a "point of purchase" program; place used oil disposal
information signs near apartment dumpsters; work with large companies
to collect used oil from employees; and provide information on
curbside collection programs.
Approval of this contract will allow the Contractor . to provide
consultation and technical assistance to the Department to implement
the Used Oil Public Education Program through December 31, 1994.
