BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On April 23, 1992, Keller Canyon Landfill Company (KCLC) requested that the Board of Supervisors
consider an interim base rate for the Keller Canyon Landfill at its April 28, 1992 meeting (see attached
letter) . KCLC requests a rate of not less than $33.00 a ton for the base rate for a limmited duration.
Ancillary to its decision on an interim rate, the Board should consider setting the County surcharge
and mandated fees. Staff has recommended a 10% County surcharge. If the Board does not act, a 30%
surcharge will automatically go into effect. The surcharge would be used to support compliance with
the conditions of approval of the Land Use Permit and for other County programs.

Specifically, the County surcharge could fund:
COA #11.1 - annual public hearings on status of conditions of approval of land use permit.
COA #11.2 - Local Advisory Committee operations.
COA #11.6 - Compliance and mitigation monitoring .programs.
COA #13.1 - Compliance with franchise agreement, including staff involvement with rate
reviews.
COA #35.4 - County Resource Recovery Program Fee
Other:
1. Reimbursement to County for legal costs in defending land use permits and
approvals.
2. Staff time in developing, overseeing and monitoring the landfill permitting
and development process.
3. Litter and other waste related abatement programs.
4. Community liaison on solid waste and landfill issues.
5. Other programs and services to the citizens of Contra Costa County.
The conditions of approval establish a transportation system impact fee to mitigate the general
impacts of landfill-generated traffic on the County's road system. Fees must be deposited by
the landfill operator quarterly into a segregated account. The fee could fund:
COA #29.6 - Bailey Road improvements - study and funding of Bailey Road
reconstruction, when necessary.
COA #29.7 - Road maintenance of Bailey Road between Highway 4 and landfill
intersection.
COA #29.8 - Highway'4/Bailey Road interchange, proportional share of improvements
and maintenance.
Other - Roadway improvements as directed by the Board of Supervisors.
The open space and agricultural preservation fee is also established by the conditions of
approval of the land use permit. This fee is to be used to mitigate the general impact of the
landfill on open space, existing and proposed recreational facilities and agriculture. Like the
transportation fee, it must be deposited into a segregated account so the fee could be used for
open space enhancement on both the landfill property as well as other projects as approved by
the Board of Supervisors.
The community mitigation fee is not required by the conditions of approval of the land use
permit. If established, staff recommends that the mechanism of receiving and distributing
money be the same as for the transportation open space fee; i.e. , quarterly deposits into a
segregated account for projects and programs as directed by the Board of Supervisors.
The State fee of $.75 per ton is mandated by State law. The Board must include this fee in the
mandated fees.
Establishment of Interim Rates
Establishment of rates for the landfill must be through amendment of the franchise agreement
as provided for in the franchise agreement. This would require execution of an amendment by
both the County and Keller Canyon Landfill Company
