BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
At its April 25, 1989 meeting, the Board of Supervisors requested
staff to report on the response from the cities in support for the
Acme expansion request before the Regional Water Quality Control
Board. A letter was sent by staff on April 28, 1989 to every Mayor
and Sanitary District President requesting that their City
Council/Sanitary District Board adopt a resolution of support or
send a letter of support on the Acme expansion request. Sample
letters and resolutions were included with the request. In
addition, copies of the letters were sent to each City Manager and
Sanitary District Manager. Staff then called each of the cities
the following Monday and Tuesday, to confirm receipt of the letter
and to answer any questions. Also, the Solid Waste Commission -
voted to support the expansion request, as did the West County
Solid Waste Management Authority. The item is scheduled for most
City Councils on May 9, 15h or 16th. Staff will give an up-to-date
report before the Board at its May 16th meeting

In addition, the Board of Supervisors requested staff to provide
information * on candidate wetland sites for mitigation on the Acme
landfill wetlands. The Fish and Wildlife Committee has identified
potential sites in the Martinez area. Staff has provided this
information to Acme Landfill, Inc. and strongly suggested that
their presentation before the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board contain as much information as possible on mitigation
sites. Water Board staff has indicated that replacement wetland
sites is a critical issue.
