BACKGROUND
The Port of Oakland is proposing to dispose of approximately

levees on Twitchell Island and Lower Jones Tract in the Delta. A
draft supplemental Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was
released, and testing of dredge samples was performed in
February, 1989.
Contra Costa County comments regarding this project were
submitted in a letter of March 11, 1989, addressing the need for
additional testing, provision of adequate time to review new data
and the need for more detail regarding mitigation, monitoring and
contingency plans.. In addition, a letter wassent on May 23 ,
1989 to the Port from the Board of Supervisors requesting a
workshop be arranged to discuss results of additional tests, and
earliest possible receipt of new data prior to Port certification
of the final supplemental EIR.

The Port responded that an interagency workshop would not be
possible due to time constraints incurred in integrating recent
test results into the final EIR, but indicated a willingness to
meet on an individual basis. County staff received the
preliminary draft final EIR on June 2 , 1989 , and met with the
Port to review this document on June 5 , 1989 . The Port expects
certification of this EIR and subsequent legal findings on this
project to take place on June 20, 1989, and will submit legal
findings on this project prior to this time.
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.
At their meeting of June 5 , 1989, the Water Committee indicated
they wished 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 would recommend a position endorsing
this project. Additional input from the Contra Costa Water
District and Congressman Miller is also expected by June 20 ,
1989 .
