RE: Proposed Plan for the East Gaylord Pulp MIll
of Antioch, California
A "Offer to Purchas" has been submitted to the Gaylord
Corporation, Deerfield , Ill . , to purchase the Eastern
Gaylord Paper Pulp Mill of Antioch, California (now closed ) .
The offer was for cash.
We feel there is a way to not only put this closed
facility back to use, but also put those back to work, that
were layed off , due to the closure of the paper mill . To
do this we have completed plot plans to place on 67 acres
of the site, the following plants and operations , as well
a refurbish the structures that exist on the site :
1 . Place into operation a the now in place and
permitted Fuel Burner.
2 . Place into operations the now in place and
permitted Double Kiln Systems .
3 . Refurbish and place into operation the 19 million
Gallon per day , Water Treatment Plant .
4. Construct a Composting Plant .
5 . Construct a Fuel Pellet Plant .
6 . Refurbish the Storm Water Control System.
7 . Refurbish the land and replace with required
landscaping .
8 . Design and Construct a 3000 ton per day Municipal
-Wast_ Processing Eano4 Recycling Facility, in accordance
with the Contra Costa Waste Management Plan and approved
in the Environmental Impact Report for the County.

Purchase of Gaylord Facility
7 October 1994
Over the pass four years we have completed the required
plot plans , most engineering drawings , the environmental due
diligence and all financial projections and porformas .
Reviewed and researched all the envirommntal regulations and
environmental problems related to the project , and we are
now confident that our project for the Eastern Gaylord
Facility fully qualifys under the California Intergrated
Solid Waste Managemnt Act , The Contra Costa Waste Management
Plan, and California AB939 . This facility will also
eliminate any need for Landfilling our Garbage and the
Dumping of Waste Water Sludges in the Ocean.
To complete the proposed site, and bring it to the
standards which we have set , will cost in the excess of
$157 million which includes the purchase of the facility.
We have established behind the seances reliable and local
support for our project . However, there has been a lack
of encouragement from local and state representive . This
was hard for me to understand , since the State and Cities
seem to be in need of three things , Jobs , Solve a Growing
Solid Waste Problem and have a business that—can improve
the economical base..
Presently, what we need most , is local and State
participation, in the way of advise, permit processing,
and some financial assistance . In assistance we need
the help of the Cities of Antioch and Pittsburg to set
with us and negotiate Waste Contracts with us . We
however prefer, that th Cities and the County retain
their present relationship with the haulers of their
Municial Waste, and retain their present contractual
relationships for the City Waste, and the management
over their present collection methods . With local
government participation, we can hold down the cost
to your customers , and do what we know best . process
recycle to reuse .
We would like your views on the above matter , and
if we should be asked , we would be more than happy to
make presentations to the County Supervisors and the local
City Council Members of Antioch and Pittsburg.
We look forward to hearing from everyone who may
have an interest in solving their Municipal Waste Problems ,
without the high cost of doing so. Like I have said, we
have the finance to build the complete site on our own,
but we would like the participation of all the local govern-
ments .
Sincerely,
Charles G. Boyd
President & CEO
