FROM: Dennis M. Barry, AICP
Community Development Director
DATE: July 17 , 2001
SUBJECT: CONTRACT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATES FOR SUPPLEMENTAL EIR
CONTRACT SERVICES (Contract # C47557-00)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Authorize the Community Development Director or his designee to execute a contract with
Environmental Science Assoc in the amount of$165,380.00 from July 2, 2001 through
completion of the project for supplemental EIR services for the Ultramar Clean Fuel Project
Phase H.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost is covered by revenue received from Ultramar Refinery.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Community Development Department is the leading agency for the environmental review
of the Ultramar Clean Fuels Project Phase 11. Phase I of the Clean Fuels Project was completed
in February 1996. Ultramar (previously Avon Refinery) is now prepared to proceed with Phase
H of this project. The original project scope was based on our best understanding of the clean
fuels regulations that would likely be implemented over the time period. Since that time, new
clean fuels requirements have been promulgated, including the requirements for CARB Phase 3
gasoline. Some changes are needed in the project description to address these new
requirements.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
If this contract is not approved the County would not be in compliance with the Hazardous
Materials Ordinance and would put at risk the continuing refinery operation.
