SUBJECT: Solid Waste Disposal Agreement with San Joaquin County
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Authorize the Chair of the Board to sign a letter requesting that
San Joaquin County consider a Solid Waste Disposal Agreement with
Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Contra Costa County currently has short-term solid waste disposal
agreements with Alameda County and Solano County. Discussions are
underway with the City of San Jose for additional capacity.
Initial contacts have been made with the County of San Joaquin who
indicated a willingness to discuss a short-term solid waste
disposal agreement with Contra Costa County. San Joaquin County
officials have indicated that a letter from our Board of
Supervisors to their Board of Supervisors would be the appropriate
mechanism to formally initiate the discussion process.

Dear Chairman Wilhoit and Board Members:
The Contra Costa Board of Supervisors granted land use entitlements for the
Marsh Canyon Landfill on March 20, 1990. Two other landfills are in the
approval process. One of these new landfills could be operational as soon as
1993. Unfortunately, our existing landfills do not have sufficient capacity to
last until that time. Disposal agreements with Solano County and Alameda County
are handling a portion of our solid waste shortfall; however, additional
capacity is needed.
On a short-term basis, we would appreciate the assistance of San Joaquin County
by allowing use of a landfill in your county. We would insure that all waste
would be delivered in transfer vans, not local hauler trucks. In addition, we
are willing to offer reciprocal capacity rights to San Joaquin County; guarantee
specific levels of recycling program activity; and provide for screening at the
transfer station to insure that no hazardous waste goes to San Joaquin County.
Also, we would be willing to provide appropriate mitigation for use of your
landfill.
The county, cities and sanitary districts in Contra Costa have designated a
committee composed of elected officials who are available to discuss the solid
waste disposal proposal with your Board, as appropriate.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Nancy C. F en, Chair
Board of Supervisors
