BACKGROUND
The California EPA - Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)
has determined that an EIR is necessary for considering the
approval of the West County Landfill Inc. ' s proposed Closure/Post-
Closure Plan for the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill Hazardous
Waste Management Facility. DTSC is the. Lead Agency for California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) purposes .
On December 6, 1994 DTSC requested the assistance of the County
Community Development Department under a 1989 Agreement between the
state and the County. On December 13 , 1994 the Board authorized
the Community Development Department to provide administrative
environmental review services to DTSC pertaining to the development.
of an EIR for the closure of the West Contra Costa Sanitary
Landfill Hazardous Waste Management Facility pursuant to the 1989
Agreement. between the County and DTSC. The firm .of Brown and
Caldwell was selected through a consultant recruiting process
conducted by DTSC and the Community Development Department . On
September 19, 1995, the Board of Supervisors authorized the
Director of Community Development to execute a contract with Brown
& Caldwell for an amount not to exceed $375, 000 .00 (the actual
contract amount was $370, 700 .00) .
During the early stages of preparing the EIR, the consultant
determined, and DTSC and Community Development concurred, that
additional time and effort would be neccessary to complete the EIR.
DTSC and Community Development agreed that a contract amendment
should not be processed until the extent of the additional work and
associated costs could be clearly determined. This contract
amendment is intended to cover the additional consultant work
pertaining to this EIR.
This contract amendment will increase the contract amount by an
additional $82, 200 . 00, raising the payment limit to $452, 900 .00 .
