Authorize the Director of Community Development to execute
Amendment. Two to the County' s contract with the consulting firm
of Environmental Science Associates, Inc. , for the preparation of

is $14,762. 50; bringing the total to $73 ,812. 50. The entire cost

BACKGROUND
The Marsh Canyon Sanitary Landfill project requires an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) under the terms of the
California Environmental Quality Act. On May 16, 1989, the Board
of Supervisors approved a contract with the firm of
Environmental Science Associates, Inc, for $199,938 for the
preparation of the EIR. At the time, it was recognized that,
pending studies, unresolved project details, or unanticipated
volumes of review comments could warrant contract revisions.
Amendment One, for a total of $122,500 was approved by the Board
on December 19, 1989, as a second administrative draft EIR was
required due to last-minute revisions to project detail.
Amendment Two became necessary as a result of the need to respond
to the large number of comments received on the Draft EIR, as
well as additional noise and visual studies.
