TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Anthony A. Dehaesus Co ltm
Director of Community Development Costa
DATE: March 11 , 1986 @ C;o^
SUBJECT: Amendment One to the Consultant Contract for the Preparation
of the Environmental Impact Report for the Proposed Central Landfill .
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(_S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize the Chairman of the Board to execute Amendment One to the
County's Contract with the firm of Engineering Science for the preparation of
the Environmental Impact Report for the proposed Central Landfill .
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT.
The cost of the EIR amendment ($10,144) is borne by the project sponsor,
Central Landfill , Inc. No County surcharge is imposed because the amendment
was requested by County staff and because no increment in staff time will be
required in reviewing the EIR.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Amendment One enables the EIR to include additional geologic and hydrologic
information for the larger of three proposed landfill canyons on the Central
Landfill site. Without this additional information, the EIR could not adequately
evaluate the use of this canyon for refuse disposal .
IV. BACKGROUND
The preparation of the Environmental Impact Report for the Central Landfill
disclosed the presence of different geologic formations in Canyon Three of
the proposed landfill site. A decision was made to complete the basic
administrative draft of the EIR while the applicant carried out additional
geotechnical studies. These studies were recently completed. Their inclusion
in the EIR is not covered by the original consultant contract.
V. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION .
Without Amendment One, the EIR could not adequately evaluate landfilling
in the largest and most remote canyon on the Central Landfill site.
