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.
