TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Sara M. Hoffman 5t Contra Senior Deputy Coirnty Administrator (.NJIa d�+ DATE: May 5, 1992 - County r a SUBJECT: Interim Rates Keller Canyon Landfill SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS 1. ADOPT an interim base rate of $33/ton for the Keller Canyon Landfill. 2. ADOPT a County surcharge of 10% of the base rate. 3. ADOPT mandated fees of $.75 for the State fee; $2/ton for the transportation fee; $2/ton for the Open Space/Agricultural Preservation Fee. 4. CONSIDER action to be taken on the Community Mitigation Fee. 5. AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute an amendment to the Keller Canyon Landfill Franchise agreement to implement the Board approved rates for a limited period. 6. CONSIDER direction to staff and Acme Interim Transfer Station on need for a full or limited rate application to incorporate the landfill rate into the transfer station rate. 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 limited duration. The $33/ton rate is the current staff recommended rate. Staff believes that establishment of the interim rate would be prudent since it would allow the opening of Keller Canyon Landfill (and thus meet the County's current capacity needs) and provide additional time for staff to work with KCLC to thoroughly analyze, and hopefully resolve, current differences over revenue require me s for the landfill.

ATTESTED May 5, 1992 PHIL BATCHELOR, CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR cc: CAO BY DEPUTY h26:k11rrtes.bos Ancillary to its decision on an interim rate, the Board should set the County surcharge and mandated fees. Staff recommends 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 requires execution of an amendment by both the County and Keller Canyon Landfill Company. County Counsel has prepared a draft amendment which would provide for a 90-day interim rate. Workshop with Franchising Agencies At the April 21, 1992 meeting, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to conduct a workshop for the cities and other franchising agencies. The workshop was held on April 30, 1992. There were 27 attendees, including representatives of Antioch, Pittsburg, Concord, Martinez, Walnut Creek, San Ramon, Central Sanitary District, Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority, West County Solid Waste Authority, Citizens United and Sierra Club. The workshop included a presentation by BFI on its requested rate and justification for the rate. Deloitte & Touche provided detailed analysis of the recommended rate of return, operating ratio, projected tonnage and royalty. Staff outlined the rationale for the County surcharge and mandated fees as well as landfill alternatives. In staff's opinion, the workshop was valuable in helping franchising agencies understand the structure of the rates and the issues regarding the rate levels. Some of the questions raised concerned the amount of the royalty, justification of identified costs, mechanism for paying, compensation for neighboring properties, rationale for the rate of return and operating ratio (and their meaning relative to actual profit), and capacity alternatives to Keller Canyon Landfill. All participants of the Workshop were encouraged to attend the May 5, 1992 Board meeting to present their views to the Board of Supervisors. Interim Transfer Station Rate Under Conditions of Approval of the Land Use Permit, waste will be received at the landfill only from transfer stations (except under specified conditions). At this time, all waste to Keller Canyon Landfill will originate at the Acme Interim Transfer Stations (ITS). The rate at the ITS does not currently incorporate the Keller Canyon Landfill gate rate. Consequently, it is appropriate for the Board to require submittal of a rate application by the ITS for adjustments to the ITS rate. The ITS fiscal year ends May 31, 1992. The Board may want to request a full rate application that reviews FY 91-92 expenses and revenues and examines tonnage volumes, transportation costs and new tipping fee costs. Alternatively, the Board could institute a limited rate review that would adjust rates only for revised tonnage and tipping fees, to be followed by a full rate review.

Programs currently under review which need to be approved by CCCCDD and County Health Services Department before operations begin: - Slope Monitoring Locations - Post-earthquake Program Air Flow Monitoring Approvals are expected by May 1, 1992. Permits which need to be obtained from other government agencies before the landfill can open: - Solid Waste Facilities Permit (operating permit) • Scheduled for consideration by the California Integrated Waste Management Board on April 29, 1992 - Permit to Operate, Bay Area Air Quality Management District Page 3 of 7 • Requires request within 3 days before operations are to begin (letter of request submitted). • Requires conformance with previous Authority to Construct Final inspections and clearances which need to be obtained before the landfill can open (to the best of the CCCCDD's knowledge): - Public Works Department • Bailey Road reconstruction • Entrance road - Building permit inspection, County Building Inspection Department • Sedimentation basin concrete work • Maintenance building - Local Enforcement Agency (County Health Services Department) • Final inspection of installations covered by Solid Waste Facilities Permit • Approvals of several program elements identified in this report - San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board • Letter of certification (from permittee) on construction specifications Bonds and other guarantees which must be provided before operations begin consist of: - A surety bond and Road Improvement Agreement for Improvement Warranty pertaining to the re-built section of Bailey Road in the unincorporated area. - A surety bond for clean-up work, in the amount of $10,000, to be used in the event litter or spills are not expeditiously cleaned-up by the permittee. - Closure and post-closure trust funds. • A financial guarantee for landfill closure and post-closure has been provided to the California Integrated Waste Management Board as requirement of the Solid Waste Facilities Permit. Page 4 of 7 • The Board of Supervisors can find that this guarantee satisfies the Land Use Permit Conditions of Approval. Dedication offers which must be made, but which need not be consummated, before the landfill can open: - Offer to dedicate the Bailey Road right-of-way, as modified by the new construction, including cut-and-fill slopes - Offer to dedicate the Special Buffer Area • The permittee offered to dedicate the development rights to the Special Buffer Area in October, 1991 . (Note: Mitigation grazing, wetlands, and spatial separation are implemented in the area.) Programs which need to be approved by the Board of Supervisors before operations begin: - Rate setting • The Board of Supervisors began to consider a rate setting program on April 21, 1992. - Service Area Recycling Criteria • Condition 5.5 provides that the Board may prevent communities which do not have curbside, or equivalent, recycling programs approved by the Board in effect. • The Board is considering an ordinance to prohibit the disposal at the landfill of wastes originating in communities which lack acceptable plastics recyclable materials recovery programs. • Other conditions, discussed elsewhere, require the permittee to participate in recycling and other activities which will implement the AB 939 program. • To implement these conditions, staff recommends that the Board adopt an interim policy for service area eligibility. A draft policy is attached to this report. Programs, other than financial, which can be deferred for specific reasons: Waste characterization program Page 5of7 • The Community Development Department is drafting a program to monitor and track waste for the AB 939 program • Staff expects to propose a program by August, 1992 - Composting and wood chipping program • The Conditions of Approval specify that the permittee shall submit proposals within 6 months of the landfill's opening. • The County might decide that it wants chipping and composting to take place at the transfer station/materials recovery facilities. - Participation in waste reduction and recycling programs • Implementation of the Condition is contingent on the AB 939 plan, which is being prepared by the Community Development Department. Participation in household hazardous waste program • Implementation of the condition is contingent on the AB 939 plan, which is being prepared by the Community Development Department. - Abandoned vehicle storage (10 acres on- or off-site) • Requires the Board of Supervisors' determination and direction • Involves participation with other solid waste facilities • Would require additional CEQA review of on-site area Financial surcharge-supported programs which need to have segregated accounts established (see memorandum of May 5, 1992 on Keller Canyon Landfill rate setting, by Sara Hoffman): Transportation System Impact Fee • $2.00 per ton, adjusted for CPI - Bailey Road Pavement Reconstruction • Studies incomplete (Pittsburg originally stopped pavement tests in city) - Bailey Road Pavement Maintenance • Estimates pending Page 6 of 7 Highway 4/13ailey Road Interchange Contribution • Estimated $1 .2 to $1 .5 million • Requires the establishment of a benefit area, or equivalent Open Space and Agricultural Preservation • $2.00 per ton, adjusted for CPI Host Community Mitigation (if mandated by the Board of Supervisors; not a Land Use Permit Condition of Approval) Projects to be carried out by these programs, and their priorities, can be determined by the Board of Supervisors after the accounts are established (will have to be collected for a period of time before enough is accumulated to fund projects). CAZ:gms/se cz1:Status.KCL Page 7 of 7 ATTACHMENT INTERIM POLICY FOR SERVICE AREA ELIGIBILITY Prior to such time as the Board of Supervisors has approved the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan, compliance with Condition 5.5 shall be with verification that the three (3) following criteria have been met: 1 .

The landfill will operate from 7:00 a.m. to 7 : 00 p.m. , with certain traffic restrictions regarding landfill traffic entering the Highway 4 interchange. Those restrictions preclude landfill transfer vans from departing the landfill and entering the Highway 4 interchange between the hours of 7: 00 to 8 : 30 a.m. and 3 : 30 to 6: 30 p.m. All landfill traffic must access the site from State Route 4 traveling south on Bailey Road approximately two miles to the landfill entrance.

May 5, 1992 The Honorable Sunne McPeak, Chairperson and Members of the Board of Supervisors Contra Costa County Administration Building Martinez, California 94553 Dear Chairperson. and Members: Attached is a letter from our consultant, Donald II.

These materials generally set out the County's (Deloitte and Touche) and the operator's (KCLC) version of the various costs and expenses that support the proposed base rate. I have no comment on the accuracy of either version, since I lack sufficient information at this time to perform such an analysis. I do, however, have a number of important questions concerning the current procedures being followed for-the establishing of such rates, which intentionally or unintentionally seem to minimize public participation and scrutiny. I find this most troubling, given the substantial Cost impacts of solid waste disposal on all citizens within Contra Costa County. The following are questions that I believe the County should fully and unambiguously answer before the County establishes any rates (interim or otherwise) for the Keller Canyon Landfill. 1. Under what section of the Landfill Franchise Agreement are the proposed rates being established? 2. What procedures must the County follow in establishing the proposed rates (eg. under the Franchise Agreement, county ordinance, or state law)? Are noticed public hearings required? What procedures does the County intend to follow? 3. How does the County propose to determine the "community mitigation" component of the proposed- mandated fee? 1a�J S:2 11:33 0037 SR-FfDc515H<_e r:e s P. 3% 4 Mr. Fred Caploe, Esq. May 4, 1992 Page Two a. Under the Deloitte analysis, how was the $2.00 figure derived? Will the County make available a copy of Deloitte's workpapers? b. Does the Deloitte $2.00 community mitigation figure apply only to the unincorporated area of the County? Who receives the mitigation payment, and for what will it be spent? c. If the Deloitte $2.00 figure only applies to the unincorporated areas, how does the County propose to determine the existence of and quantify any damages to the incorp-grated areas caused by the Keller Canyon Landfill operation? How does it intend to determine the appropriate mitigation payments to those adversely- affected jurisdictions? will this be the subject of public hearings? when may an adversely-affected city submit evidence of damages on this tissue? 4. Are there any documents or information that the County has received on a confidential basis regarding Keller Canyon Landfill? a. If so, on what basis are the documents deemed exempt from the Public Records Act disclosure requirements? 5. Has the Board exercised its right under 54.20 (Records) of the Franchise Agreement to examine the books and records of the Operator? If not, why not? S. If the proposed rates are established in the near future for Keller Canyon Landfill, how soon thereafter may the County re-examine or readjust those rates? what procedures will be followed in the re-examination or readjustment of such rates?- 7. Under 56.12 of the Franchise Agreement (last paragraph) , what are the "lowest surcharges applicable to similar categories of waste at other landfills in the County"? a. what is the basis for Deloitte's recommendation of a 10% Surcharge to the County? 8. on what basis is the. Operator entitled to a royalty that is included in the proposed rates (please cite section of a 2 11:33 FJXV SANFr-ix515H-cries '. =1.' .'. Mr. Fred Caploe, Esq. May 4, 1992 Page Three the Franchise Agreement or other source) ? Will the payment of royalties trigger the application of §1.8 (No Preferential Treatment) and require similar royalty payments to other landfill owners? Finally, the City. of Pittsburg should be entitled to a copy of all available information that the County relies upon or has .received during the rate-making process. The .City should then be given a reasonable period of time to review and analyze such technical information. Thereafter, the County should allow the City of Pittsburg (and any other interested party) the opportunity to present its comments, findings, and recommendations in a noticed public hearing on the issues under consideration. Frankly, this should be normal procedure for the County on rate-making matters. For that reason, I would strenuously object to any deviation from, or reduction to, such minimal standards for public participation on these important rate-making issues. Please let ne know if can be of any further assistance. Sincerely,! DONALD H. MAYNOR DHH gs a:�pittsburg\0504fc - H•3 DATE: S 2.

I am a resident of Martinez. i am here today because of an article in Saturday's Readers Forum of the Martinez Gazette by Martinez City Council member Beverly McDowell, informing the public of the proposed landfill rates. According to the article, you are considering approving a 10.6 million dollar finders fee PLUS 14% of the gross profits as a royalty fee to be included in the fee structure of the landfill rates. All this will come from the county residents. Additionally, you are considering approving a guaranteed 25% rate of return to the owners of the Keller Land Fill. I attended the Martinez City Council meeting last nite where I heard comments that the feeling was that the Board of Supervisors were actually inclined to vote for these inclusions in the rate fees. Hopefully, that's not true. For any of you who are thinking of voting yes, please reconsider. Last nite, I heard these ludicrous proposals referred to as the " rape of the county residents." Rape is illegal. Rape a crime. It is investigated and prosecuted. If the fee structure is passed with the inclusions of the royalty fee, the finders fee and a 25 % percent return, the citizens of this county are going to ask how OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES could even have CONSIDERED voting to pass this fee structure unless, of course, there is some personal motivation. I and other residents of the county will ask our local representatives to consider this a matter for grand jury review. I have with me page 9A of the Sunday, May 3, 1992 Contra Costa Times. This is a full page dedicated to the upcoming Contra Costa Supervisors election. I hope the press will continue their intensive and excellent coverage. I hope that the vote of each supervisor on this issue is published along with an article detailing the fee structure and the ripoff of the public. While companies like Browning-Ferris may provide monies to political 1 RECEIVED MAY 5 1992 i i CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS j CONTRA COSTA CO. a� campaigns, it is not the companies that vote, it is the people. What the people giveth, the people can take away. If you don't believe it, look at the number of active recall drives currently in progress. Read the front page article titled "More Politicians Getting Booted Out of Office" in the May 4th San Francisco Chronicle. And look at the number of congressman who have decided not to run for re-election. I have two questions. I understand that the County will agree to a guaranteed rate of return (HOPEFULLY NOT 25%) to the landfill operator. If the County agrees to this, then the county has the responsibility to audit the books to assure that its citizens are not paying for golf club memberships, parties and other costs that are deducted as operating expenses. These items should come out of the guaranteed return for which they are answerable to their stockholders. Has the County included language to allow for an annual audit of the books and records? Landfills are toxic dumps. My second question is: What is the amount of money being set aside in an interest bearing trust account by Browning-Ferris for toxic cleanup? Is the fund set up in a manner which PRECLUDES the use of these funds for any other reason? I am subimitting my remarks for the record. I am also submitting a copy of my remarks to the Martinez City Council. I would like to have my questions answered.
