SUBJECT: EIR for Stauffer Chemical
Company Incineration Project
Supervisor Sunne McPeak commented on Stauffer Chemical
Company' s proposed hazardous waste incineration plant and the feasi-
bility of having an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared on
the project. Therefore, Supervisor McPeak recommended that Community
Development Department staff prepare a letter to the Martinez City
Council requesting the Council- to require an EIR prepared on the
Stauffer project.
Supervisor Nancy Fanden concurred. She expressed concern
as to the impact this could have on transportation routes with the
number of trucks transporting hazardous waste to Dow Chemical and IT
facilities as well as the Stauffer incineration facility. She
referred to the proposal for the construction of another bridge con-
necting Martinez and Benicia and the expansion of the present bridge
to relieve traffic congestion. Supervisor Fanden recommended that
the Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (CCTAC) review
the feasibility of having one lane of the bridge limited to truck
traffic only upon completion of the improvements to the existing
bridge.
Supervisor Tom Powers advised that he would prefer to have
staff review the proposals of Supervisors McPeak and Fanden prior to
making a decision this day.
Board members being in agreement, IT IS ORDERED that the
Acting Director, Community Development Department, is REQUESTED to
review the proposals and report to the Board on May 20, 1986 .
