Olney, Jr. SECRETARY-TREASURER George Navone Bart Bisio May 25, 1993 RECEIVED Chairman Tom Torlakson and Members of the Board of Supervisors MAY 2 61993 County of Contra Costa A 651 Pine Street CLERK BOARD OF S:JPERVISORS Martinez, CA 94553 CONTRA C_OSTACO. .-.. Re: Authorization for Import of Garlialze I Dear Chairman Torlakson and Members of the Board: Vallejo Garbage Service, representing itself and the City of Vallejo, has requested permission to process garbage through the Acme Transfer Station for a temporary period ending October 31, 1995. This request is occasioned by the pending closure of the American Canyon Landfill in Solano County. 1 The temporary importation of garbage to Acme will allow sufficient time to permit and construct a transfer station to service Vallejo Garbage. The average daily volume of import would be approximately 600 tons which is well within the permitted and operational capacity of the Acme Interim Transfer Station and the Keller Landfill. Board authorization for this temporary transfer of garbage via Acme would also be consistent with the reciprocity arrangement presently existing between Solano and Contra Costa counties. As noted in the attached letter, we believe the Vallejo Garbage Service has established a recycling program which complies with the Contra Costa County Materials Diversion Ordinance. In addition,the Vallejo Garbage Service acknowledges that the rates to be charged for imported garbage will be at least as high as those charged Contra Costa County customers and the company will abide by all standard requirements on local users. Acme Fill Corporation makes this application and requests approval by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. If you need additional information regarding this application, please contact the undersigned. Very truly yo rs, LEl TON General Manager 00001025 AC9 /3az >f08 Maditeyr CG*tqw, 94553 grams (&o 229 7099 � 228-65e25 / i 0141 f Integrated Solutions for Solid Waste Reduction and Disposal Residential Commercial Industrial May 24 , 1993 Recycling Infectious Waste Waste Wheelers Bin Service Debris Box Service Lee Walton General Manager Acme Fill Corporation P. 0. Box 1.108 Martinez , California 94553 Dear Mr . Walton : Vallejo Garbage Service presently utilizes the American Canyon Sanitary Landfill (ACSL) for its refuse disposal needs . As we have previously discussed, the ACSL is expected to reach capacity during the last calendar quarter of this year or possibly January 1994 . Vallejo Garbage Service has entered into a contractual arrangement with the South Napa Waste Management Authority (Authority) to utilize its transfer station once the facility has been built . It is anticipated that the Authority will have the facility available sometime between October 1994 and October 1995 . The exact date of the facilities availability will be dependent upon construction schedules and other normal time frames effecting the development of a facility of this nature . Vallejo Garbage Service is interested in utilizing the Acme Fill and Transfer facility during the "gap" period which will exist between the time ACSL reaches capacity and the time the Authority has the facility constructed. We are under contract with the Authority to start utilizing their facility upon 30 days written notice to do so from the Authority. Therefore , we are interested in a month-to-month arrangement for the use of the Acme Fill and Transfer facility until such time as the Authority gives us notice to begin utilizing its facility . The average daily tonnage we would anticipate delivering to the Acme Fill and Transfer Station for processing should not exceed 600 tons per day. (Average based on 260 day work year) . Please note that Vallejo Garbage Service operates on all holidays except New Years Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. ( If that is in conflict with Acme Fill and Transfers schedule , please let us know) .. We understand that if we are able to get approval to use your facility Vallejo ' s refuse will be deposited only at the Keller Canyon Landfill . 7071 Broadway Vallejo,(A 94590 Fax:(707)5524126 Phone:(707)552-3110 ncrc+•ecw.. We therefore, request that you obtain approval from the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors for Vallejo Garbage Service ' s use of both the Acme Fill and Transfer Station and the Keller Canyon Landfill. We understand that Contra Costa County imposes that any jurisdiction utilizing the Keller Canyon facility must have a recycling program that complies with the Contra Costa Materials Diversion Ordinance. We believe that Vallejo Garbage Service ' s current recycling programs comply with that Ordinance . Vallejo Garbage Service further understands and acknowledges that the rates that it will be charged for utilization of the Acme Fill and Transfer Station facility will be at least as high as those charged Contra Costa County users . We hope the above provides you with sufficient information to start the approval process with the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors . Sincerely , VALLEJO GARBAGj,SERVICE Bruce M.
