SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
A. DETERMINE AND FIND that the September 1991 Final
Environmental Impact Report previously certified by
findings' on October 8, 1991, ("previous EIR") and. the
Addendum`. thereto, approved by this Board on March 23,
1993, were, are and will be considered by this Board for
all approvals made on or after March 23, 1993, related to
the project described in said previous EIR as modified by

B. DETERMINE AND FIND that, together, the previous EIR and
the Addendum are adequate to serve as the EIR for this
project and satisfy all requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) .
C. DETERMINE AND FIND that the Addendum, including the
changes described therein, does not raise important new
issues about the significant effects on the environment,
but rather, clarifies, redefines, makes minor
modifications, updates the information considered in the
previous 1991 EIR and makes appropriate minor technical
changes and.modifications to the mitigation measures made
a part of the project by the previous EIR by providing
for an assured, but flexible funding mechanism for
possible long-term mitigation measures, the need for
which will be determined by future judicial resolution.
D. DETERMINE AND FIND that said funding provisions do not
change the requirement to mitigate the impact of the

E. DETERMINE AND FIND that the purpose of including the relocation
of the Madison Street water treatment plant in the.previous EIR
as part of the project was as a mitigation measure to assure
that the residents of West Pittsburg would have a safe and
dependable water supply after the proposed acquisition and
demolition of the Madison Street Water treatment plant for the
project. DETERMINE AND FIND that Southern California Water
Company ("SCWC") claims to be the owner and operator of the
Madison Street water treatment plant. DETERMINE AND FIND that
SCWC claims to operate the Madison Street water treatment plant
as a backup treatment facility used to provide a backup source
of treated water to residents of the Contra Costa County service
area known as West Pittsburg. DETERMINE AND FIND that since the
preparation of the previous EIR, that the Contra Costa Water
District ("CCCWD") has undertaken to acquire the SCWC operation
in its Contra Costa County service area, and that SCWC opposes
the right of CCCWD to acquire its operation by eminent domain.
DETERMINE AND FIND that, in the event that CCCWD acquires the
SCWC Contra Costa operation, CCCWD will use its own facilities
to supply treated water to residents of the West Pittsburg
service area previously supplied by SCWC; and that CCCWD will
not use either the Madison Street Water treatment plant or the
Hill Street water treatment plant. DETERMINE AND FIND that
there will be no need to provide a replacement facility for the
Madison Street water treatment plant to assure the residents of
West Pittsburg with a safe and reliable water source, in the
event that CCCWD is successful in acquiring the SCWC operation.
DETERMINE AND FIND that whether or not there will be a need to
provide a replacement facility will not be known until there is
a judicial resolution of the dispute between CCCWD and SCWC.
F. MOVE AND ADOPT:
1 . The previous EIR as modified by said Addendum is hereby
certified for this project and the findings readopted.
2 . The project described in the previous EIR as modified by
the Addendum is approved.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There will be no impact to the County General Fund.
III . REASONS FOR..RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:

Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the State Route 4/Bailey Road
Interchange Improvement Project, made findings required by CEQA and
determined to carry out the project described in said EIR. Changes
have been made to the project described in the previous EIR. The
County has authorized the preparation of an Addendum which describes
