Commission ("BCDC" ) has objected to the issuance of the Army
Corps' permit allowing the use of the ACME site to a maximum
height of forty (f0) feet for landfill; and

limit violates BCDC' s San Francisco Bay Plan; and

increased accelerated use of the other two remaining landfills
in the County.

twenty (20) feet and in the related volumne of solid waste
