the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the
Keller Canyon Sanitary Landfill.

for staff administrative services for a total of $176,250.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed project is
required by the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act

BACKGROUND
The California Environmental Quality .Act requires the preparation
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 forms of a General Plan Amendment, a
Rezoning, an Agricultural Preserve Cancellation, a Minor Subdi-
vision and a Land Use Permit. Several potentially significant
impacts were identified by the project' s Initial study and by
responses to the project' s Notice of Preparation.
