Consultant Contract to Prepare the
EIR for the IT Corporation Vine Hill
Treatment Plant Modernization Project
Page 2
IV. BACKGROUND
The California Environmental Quality Act requires the prepara-
tion of an EIR for a proposed project where the project is
subject to a discretionary action by a California unit of
government and where there is reason to believe that the
proposed project would result in one or more significant
(i.e. , adverse) environmental impacts. The project requires
the discretionary approval of the Board of Supervisors in the
form of an amended special Land Use Permit for a waste
disposal facility. Several potentially significant impacts
were identified by the project' s Initial Study and by
responses to the project' s Notice of Preparation.
The EIR consultant was selected by a competitive process
established by the County. The scope of services for the EIR
was developed in consultation with the staffs of the Bay Area
Air Quality Management District, the State of Department of
Health Services, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality
Control Board, the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, and
the County' s Health Services Department.
V. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to execute this contract would delay the preparation
of the EIR and, subsequently, the project itself. The moderniza-
tion project is necessary for the Vine Hill Treatment Plant to
continue to operate as a hazardous waste treatment facility
when treatment ponds are phased out in accordance with County
policies and State and Federal laws.
