FROM: Anthony A. Dehaesus ContraCOSta
Director of Planning .
DATE: April 4, 1985 " County
SUBJECT: Consultant contract to prepare the Environmental Impact
Report for the Kirker Pass Waste Management Landfill .
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve and authorize the Chairperson of the Board to execute
on behalf of the County a contract with the firm of Brown and Caldwell ,
in the amount of $96,825, for the preparation of an Environmental
Impact Report .for the proposed Kirker Pass Waste Management Landfill .
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the EIR consultant ($96,825) is borne by the pro-
ject sponsor, Waste Management (Sid Corrie and Associates). An
additional County surcharge of 25% ($24,206 in this case) for processing
the EIR and printing the EIR documents is also borne by the project
sponsor. Execution of the consultant contract- is contingent upon this
money being deposited with the County. The adopted budget anticipates
EIR surcharge revenues.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATON: An .Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed
project is required by the terms of the California Environmental Quality
Act. The consulting firm and its EIR preparation proposal were selected
through a standard competitive procedure for EIR work.
IV. BACKGROUND: The California Enviornmental Quality Act requires the preparation of
an EIR for a proposed project where the project is subject to a discre-
tionary action by a unit of government and where there is reason to
believe that the proposed project. would result in one or more signifi-
cant (i .e. adverse) environmental impacts. The project would require
a General Plan amendment and other discretionary actions by the County.
The Initial Study .for the project identified several potential signifi=
cant impacts, and others were identified by citizens and governmental
agencies responding to the project's Notice of. Preparation. The Board
of Supervisors anticipated the need for this EIR, as well as for EIR's
for other landfill applications, in landfill processing procedures
adopted on July 10, 1984.
V. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure:to execute this contract would delay the
processing of the EIR and the project's entitlement applications ,
including those needed by the sponsor from governments other than -the
County. Ultimately, a delay could postpone the availability of a'
major component of information which the Board of Supervisors needs
to decide on new facilities for waste disposal in Contra Costa County.
