Greetings:RE:aisposal of solid waste et al
Contra Costa County now has the finest solid waste disposal facility in the
United States. The need for adequate, modern disposition of solid waste is
a high priority item. Substantial time and effort has been expended to put
the Keller Canyon solid waste disposal site in operation.
It makes NO environmental sense to have created this sophisticated site
and then NOT make full use of it. We respectfully suggest a Plan be created
to .attract solid waste streams from unsophisticated, .probably unsanitary
sites in other areas to Keller.
This-organization has been involved in the selection, creation and operation
of the County"s waste site and it is fulfilling the promise extended. We .
respectfully suggest your Honorable Board initiate action to produce the
result we here envisioned. To assit, we are writing the Mayors and
members of the councils of the cities and towns in GCC urging participation
in such an effort. We urge full exploration of views of decision makers be
undertaken so a concensus can be developed which in the end will produce
use of the Keller Canyon solid waste site by all GCC municipalities.. The
end result will be environmentally responsible and should produce
reasonable rates.
Respectfully,

Greetings:RE:Qisposal of solid waste et al
Contra Costa County now has the finest solid waste disposal facility in the
United States. The need for environmentally sound, adequate, modern
disposition of solid waste is a high priority item. Substantial time, money
and effort has been expended to put the Keller Canyon solid waste disposal
site in operation.
It makes NO environmental sense to have created this sophisticated site
and then NOT make full use of it. There is a real need for development of a
Plan to attract solid waste streams from unsophisticated, probably
unsanitary sites in other areas to Keller.
This organization has been involved in the selection, creation and operation
of the County's waste site and the site is beginning to fulfill the promise
extended, We respectfully suggest you agree to work with the County to
develop a consensus with the view to making full use of the Keller facility.
We have written to the Board of Supervisors urging that body take the lead
in such an effort. We urge full exploration of views of decision makers .be
undertaken so a consensus can be developed which in the end will produce
use of the Keller Canyon solid waste site by all CCC municipalities.. The
end result will be . environmentally responsible and should produce
reasonable rates.
Thank you for your consideration.
