SUBJECT: ' Environmental Impact Report for Diversion of
Central County Wastes
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECCMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Accept report from Director of Community Development on status of
determining if an Environmental Impact Report is necessary for
the disposal of Central County solid wastes at existing East and
West County landfills after Acme Fill closes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
On April 26 , 1988, the Board referred to the Community Develop-
ment Director for recommendation a letter dated March 28 , 1988 ,
from the West Contra Costa Solid Waste Management Authority
requesting that an Environmental Impact Report be prepared prior
to the diversion of Central County wastes to existing East and
West County landfills upon closure of Acme Fill.
In order to determine it an Environmental Impact Report is nec-
essary, it is first necessary to determine if any discretionary
actions by a public agency are involved. In the case of the West
Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill, the landfill is partially within
the City of Richmond and partially in the unincorporated area.
Our department has determined that the County-issued land use
permit does not need to be modified for acceptance of Central
County waste, but the Solid waste Facilities Permit (the operat-
ing permit) issued by the County Health Services Department may
need to be revised. The revision of the operating permit is
subject to CEQA. We have written a letter to the City Manager of
Richmond asking whether or not the City has a land use permit for
the landfill and if that land use permit needs to be modified for
acceptance of Central County waste. We have also asked the City
. if they have any other entitlements, such as their franchise
agreement which needs to be modified, that also may be subject to
CEQA.

Additionally, we are seeking information from Central County
haulers, cities and districts as to the amount of waste planned
to go to East and West County landfills when Acme Fill closes.
The availability of an interim transfer station at Acme Fill also
needs to be addressed. Once more information is available about
these plans and after an inventory of the public agency entitle-
ments are obtained, a determination as to the appropriate CEQA
document can be made by the appropriate lead agency.
We will keep the Board and the solid Waste Commission apprised of
the status of these investigations.
