BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION (Cont'd)
1=
The Board of Supervisors in 1993 authorized the Community Development Department to assist the
State Department of Toxic Substances Control (the Lead Agency for California Environmental Quality
Act purposes)to develop an Environmental Impact Report for the I.T.facility's closure and post-closure
maintenance plan. Following established processes, candidate consulting firms were recruited and the
firm of Brown and Caldwell was selected to prepare the Environmental Impact Report, On August 10,
1993, the Board of Supervisors authorized execution of a consulting contract for an amount not to
exceed $500,000.00 (the acutal contract amount was 488,879.00).
During the early stages of preparing the Environmental Impact Report, the consultant found that
additional studies were necessary to (for example) determine the presence and movement of certain
I�
underground toxic liquids.; The State Department of Toxic Substances Control agreed that additional
data was needed for CEQA purposes. Amendment 1 is intended to provide funding for the additional
consultant work pertaining to these additional studies.
