FROM: Phil Batchelor Contra
County Administrator Costa
DATE' May 7, 1987 COU*
SUBJECT: Adoption of Position Regarding Potential Sanitary Landfill Site
at Naval Weapons Station
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Support requesting the Navy to negotiate with County representatives
for the possible use of property in the Concord Naval Weapons Station
for a sanitary landfill.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Board established the Landfill Siting Task Force on December 22,
1986. The Task Force is to provide a recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors on "acceptable" landfill sites. One of the sites the Task
Force is considering is partially within the property of the Concord
Naval Weapons Station.
At this time, there is no agency or company actively promoting the
site and no feasibility studies have been conducted. Before any of .
these actions can take place there is sentiment that it is necessary
to determine the Navy' s position on the use of Naval Weapons Station
property for a sanitary landfill. Previous communication with the
Navy have resulted in resistance by the Navy to such a proposal.
Supervisors Torlakson and McPeak will be going to Washington, D.C. on
May 18 and 19 to discuss other matters with Navy officials. They plan
to discuss the landfill site issue. It is appropriate for the Board
of Supervisors to adopt this position encouraging the Navy to start
negotiations with county representatives.
The County is continuing to process the applications for the two
privately proposed landfill sites (Kirker Pass Waste Management.
Landfill and East Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill) .
