The Port has submitted a preliminary draft copy of the final
EIR to the Water Committee and County staff, and ,wiil submit
legal findings on this project prior to the June 20, 1989
deadline.
The preliminary final EIR addresses the comments submitted
by the Board of Supervisors on March 21, 1989, containing
results of additional testing as well as Monitoring and
Contingency Plans. However, the water Committee wishes to
insure that the Findings document adequately addresses the
implementation of the Monitoring and Contingency Plans
before consideration of a position on this project by the
._ Board of Supervisors. If adequate mechanisms are contained
in the findings document to assure adequate monitoring and
emergency plans, the Water Committee recommends a position
endorsing this project. Additional input from the Contra
Costa Water District and Congressman Miller is also expected
by June 20, 1989 .
