DATE: June 4, 1996
SUBJECT: CITY OF PITTSBURG AND THE KELLER CANYON LANDFILL
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Support and encourage legislation which would forbid landfills approved by the electorate from accepting
additional types of materials formerly classified as hazardous materials that are now potentially acceptable in Class II
landfills under the broadened definition recently adopted by the Department of Toxic Substance Control.
2. Direct the County Local Enforcement Agency to work with the City of Pittsburg in an effort to establish an air
quality monitoring program at the Keller Canyon Landfill.
3. Reaffirm the county's policy and condition of approval that Contra Costa County is committed to resolve the
property valuation issues with neighbors to the Keller Canyon Landfill and consider a precise timetable for public hearing
and resolutions of propertyowner mitigation issues.
4. Consider host mitigation fees, the City of Pittsburg, and a good neighbor agreement between BFI and the City
of Pittsburg.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Pittsburg will be addressing on June 3, 1996, issues at their council meeting relative to matters
concerning the Keller Canyon Landfill. The City of Pittsburg would like the Board of Supervisors to reaffirm.and give
assurances on matters that relate to the landfill that it has addressed in the past. Some of the matters were addressed in
the Keller Canyon Landfill Land Use Permit and the Keller Canyon Property Valuation Study. Others have been discussed,
by the Board and are in reports from county staff(Opposition to Keller Canyon Landfill taking new categories of waste and
air monitoring).
We have attempted to resolve differences between the Board and the City of Pittsburg over the Keller Canyon
Landfill. Endorsing the above four recommendations will go a long way toward settling these differences and improving
the relationship between the Board of Supervisors and the City of Pittsburg.
