SUBJECT: VASCO ROAD, UNIMIN/FRISK CREEK UNDERCROSSING - BYRON AREA
Project No.: 0662-6R4054
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE letter agreement from Unimin Corporation to Contra Costa County dated March 18,
1994.
AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to sign said letter agreement on behalf of the County.
II. Financial Impact:
No immediate cost to the County. A substantial cost savings to Contra Costa Water District for
the acquisition of property rights needed for the new alignment of Vasco Road. Possible future
cost to the County if Unimin's facilities interfere with County's maintenance or possible future
widening of Vasco Road.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The new alignment of Vasco Road could impact the mining operations of Unimin Corporation
possibly resulting in major severance damages payable by the Water District. The County has
agreed to grant an easement for an undercrossing to Unimin to allow them to operate on both
sides of the new Vasco Road.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The County would be required to deny Land Use Permit 2078-91 to Unimin and Contra Costa
Water District would have to pay major damages for the acquisition of right of way for the new
Vasco Road through property needed by Un' -in for its.pro osed mining operation.
