DESCRIPTION:
I. BACKGROUND
On July 5, 1989, the Alameda County Zoning Administrator approved
Conditional Use Permit 5511, allowing an amendment to the Alameda County Solid
Waste Management Plan to provide for the importation of solid waste from
Contra Costa County to the Altamont Landfill site for a period of two years.
At that meeting, the County Zoning Administrator also approved a Mitigated
Negative Declaration addressing environmental impacts associated with the
proposed amendment. Prior to the Zoning Administrator taking action on the
Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, this document was referred to
each City and special district in the County, for review and comment (City
Staff did not find any problems with the document) . After the July 5, 1989
Zoning Administrator action, the Plan Amendment and Mitigated Negative
Declaration were forwarded to the Alameda County Waste Management Authority
for review.
On July 19, 1989, the Alameda County Waste Management Authority
considered and approved the Solid Waste Management Plan Amendment (and
Mitigated Negative Declaration) by adopting Resolution No. 33 (see
Attachment 3) . Resolution No. 33 includes specific mitigation measures
applicable to the project.
To be adopted, the plan amendment must first be approved by a majority
of the cities in the county containing a majority of the incorporated
population. State law provides ninety days for cities to review the plan
amendment and either approve or disapprove it. This gives cities until
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM NO. 6., COPIES TO: Planning File
7
October 17, 1989 to act on the proposed plan amendment. In the event that
cities fail to act within this time period, the plan amendment would be deemed
approved.
On August 15, 1989, the Board of Supervisors considered and approved the
plan amendment with mitigation measures. The Waste Management Authority is
now requesting that the Council consider the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and review and approve the proposed plan amendment inclusive of the mitigation
measures contained therein.
Once approved by a majority of the cities, the plan amendment will be
forwarded to the California Waste Management Board, the County Department of
Environmental Health, the Regional Water Quality Control Board and Bay Area
Air Quality Management District for review and approval. Once approved by
these bodies, plan implementation will begin.
II. ISSUES
Alameda County Staff will be available to make a brief presentation of
the plan amendment to Council at tonight's meeting. The Council should pose
any questions they have to County Staff.
The following amendments are proposed to the Solid Waste Management Plan
language:
a. Alameda County Waste Management Authority Resolution No. 33 - July
19, 1989, shall be included in its entirety in Appendix H, "Selected
Alameda County Solid Waste Management Authority Resolutions" .
b. Chapter II, "Objectives and Policies":
Amend Policy 3(c) , page II-8, to add the following sentence at the
end of the policy:
This Plan provides for importation of municipal solid waste from
Contra Costa County for two years on an emergency basis, pursuant to
Resolution No. 33 of the Authority and for importation of municipal
solid waste from the City and County of San Francisco, pursuant to
Resolution No. 78 of the Authority.
C. Chapter III "Solid Waste Management Facilities" :
- Figure III-2 is amended to read:
- "Begin/End Two-Year Contra Costa County Import7"
- ,7Pursuant to ACWMA Resolution No. 33"
Transport of 580,000 tons of municipal solid waste (no hazardous wastes)
is expected to begin in late 1989 or early 1990.
It should be noted that the proposed plan amendment should not
negatively impact Dublin. However, one aspect of the amendment that will
indirectly impact the City is, there will be an increase in garbage transport
trucks using I-580 and I-680. As long as the mitigation measures applied to
this project are implemented, impacts can be curtailed. These mitigation
measures include:
1) requiring that Contra Costa County pay to Alameda County an upfront
fee of $623,150 for roadway improvements to roads used in Alameda
County by the garbage transport trucks, and for improvements to the
I-680/I-580 interchange;
2) limiting the number of garbage transport trucks from Contra Costa
County to 275 arrivals per week and to 60 per day at the Altamont
Landfill site; and
3) not allowing garbage transport .trucks from Contra Costa County
through the I-680/I-580 interchange during peak periods of 6 a.m. -
9 a.m. and 3 p.m. - 6 p.m.
-2-
III. CONCLUSION
In summary, transport of solid waste along I-580 and I-680 will have
indirect impacts on the City. Increased useage of these freeways by garbage
transport trucks will occur. This can be mitigated as noted above.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution shown as
Exhibit A, approving the amendment to the Alameda County Solid Waste
Management Plan (inclusive of mitigation measures) to allow importation and
disposal of municipal solid waste from Contra Costa County to the Altamont
Landfill site for a period of two years.

FROM: Gus Morr±DMaT esident of the Alameda County Waste Management
Authority
SUBJECT: PROPOSED TO THE COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN TO ALLOW
IMPORTATION OF CONTRA COSTA SOLID WASTE FOR TWO YEARS
The Authority is submitting, for you agency's approval, a proposed amendment
to the County Solid Waste Management Plan to provide for import and disposal
of municipal solid waste from Contra Costa County at Altamont Landfill for two
years.
We enclose the 35-page-long proposed plan amendment. We also enclose a summary
of the major features of the proposal, focussing on the 'identified project
impacts and mitigation measures.
The Alameda County Zoning Administrator approved a Conditional Use Permit and
Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project on July 5. Prior to this,
proposed project mitigation measures were referred to each city and district
manager, as well as other concerned parties. A11 concerns raised by the
managers and others were addressed in the final CEQA document.
The proposed amendment to the County Solid Waste Management Plan was initially
considered by a seven-member Authority committee, with a TAC of three city/
district managers. The committee recommended approval of the amendment. The
Plan Amendment was approved by the full Authority on July 19.
After approval by the Authority, State law provides 9U days for the cities to
review the plan amendment and either approve or disapprove. Failure to act
within that period is deemed to be plan approval. To be adopted, the plan
amendment must be approved by a majority of the cities in the county containing
a majority or the incorporated population.
The proposal is also submitted for review and approval to the Board of Super-
visors and two special districts that are Authority members. The Board of
Supervisors has designated the Authority to be responsible for preparing and
SRI

amending the plan. The special districts are not includeu in the State formula
for amendment of county plans. In the past, the boara of Supervisors and
district boards have reviewed and approved the Plan.
Although, under the State law, the cities have until October 17 to act on the
proposed plan amendment, it is requested that the cities consider this item as
soon as possible.
After adoption by the cities, the plan amendment is submitted to the California
Waste Management board for its approval. The project must also be approved by
the County Department of Environmental Health, the Regional Water Quality
Control Board and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
If you have any questions on this matter, please contact bill Fraley, Betty
Croly or Dick Edminster at the County Planning Department at 670-5400.
Authority staff will be available to attend council and board meetings to
respond to questions on the plan.

SUMMARY OF PLAN AMENDMENT
CONTRA COSTA IMPORT
j
I
I. REASON FOR PROJECT
Contra Costa County's main landfill, Acme Fill near Martinez, is scheduled to
close on September 27, 1989. The County does not have sufficient alternative
capacity to handle this waste for two years.
' I.I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Applicant: Oakland Scavenger Co. (OSC), subsidiary of Waste Management Inc.
Term: Two Years, to begin when all= permits are in place (expected to
begin in late-1989 or early-1990).
Wasteshed: Central and east Contra Costa County.
Waste Type: Municipal Solid Waste - (+69% residential/commercial, +15%
construction/demolition and +16% industrial). No hazardous
wastes would be allowed and Contra Costa operators would be
required to implement a hazardous waste control program. No
wastewater treatment plant sludge or sludge ash/residuals from
Contra Costa County would be allowed.
Tonnage: 290,000 tons per year (18% increase in waste flow to Altamont
landfill). Up to 1,100 tons per day may be disposed (five-day
operating week).
Transport: Transfer trucks only. 55 trucks daily with maximum of 60 daily
j or 275 weekly, unless permitted by the Alameda County Department
of Environmental Health in an emergency.
Transfer trucks must originate at Acme Fill Transfer Station near
Martinez. Other origination points for transfer trucks would be
considered by the Authority and Alameda County, if proposed
during the two year term.
Truck Route: Approach from Contra Costa would be via I-680 to I-580 to South-
front Road to Greenville Road to Altamont Pass Road. Departure
route would be via Altamont Pass Road to Northfrout Road to I-580
to I-680.
Landfill: Fill Area I (existing permitted area), Altamont Sanitary Landfill
Operations: No significant landfill design or operational changes are pro-
posed.

III. PROJECT IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
The most significant project impacts are addressed as follows:
A. Impacts on Roadway Condition
Based on an independent traffic study and data provided by the Alameda County
and City of Livermore Public Works Agencies., it was found that the project
would have signficant impacts on the following public roads:
Altamont Pass Road (need for resurfacing and eventual reconstruction;
improvements needed near landfill entrance, at intersection with Dyer Road,
and at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing; also safety-related signage).
Southfront Road (need for resurfacing and traffic signal at interesectioa
with Greenville Road).
Northfront Road (need for resurfacing).
Greenville Road (need for resurfacing and traffic signal as noted above).
I-580/I680 interchange (expedited schedule of planned improvements).
As mitigation, Conditions #12 and "13 provide that OSC shall pay an up front
mitigation fee of $623,150 for roads, equaling the proportional share of costs
attributable to Contra Costa trucks. Conditions of approval for the landfill
and prior plan amendments provide for payment of the remaining shares of road
repairs attributable to garbage trucks from Alameda county and San Francisco.
B. Impacts on Traffic
' The following traffic impacts were identified:
jIncreased peak period congestion at the I-580/I-580 interchange.
Increased congestion and delay at the Highway Patrol Weigh Station located
along I-580, one-half mile west of Greenville Roaa.
Increased need for traffic signal at Greenville Road/Southfront Road.
As mitigation, Conditions #8 and #9 require that waste from Contra Costa be
hauled in transfer trucks. This reduces the average number of trucks per day
from 105 to 55 and allows control of scheduling to avoid peak period traffic
congestion. Condition u14 limits the maximum number of trucks per aay to 60,
to insure that trucks are dispersed throughout the working week. Condition #15
bans transfer trucks from the I-580/I-680 interchange during the 6:00-9:00 a.m.
and 3:00-6:00 p.m. peak periods.
C. Impacts on Authority Import Policies
The County Solid Waste Management Plan (July 29, 1987) contains four specific
policies governing importation of waste. These policies and the conditions
proposed to insure plan consistency, are detailed below:
` Alameda. County Waste Management Authority
Summary of July 19, 1989 Plan Amendment -
i Page 3.
I
i
1. Plan Policy 3(a): Requirements for handling, processing and transporting
solid waste from outside Alameda County shall be at least as restrictive
as required of in-county operations.
Currently, most waste disposed at Altamont is first handled at a transfer
station. Transfer trucks reduce truck traffic and air pollution, save
energy, and result in greater waste compaction at the landfill. Transfer
stations allow inspections to remove recyclables and hazardous wastes. At
present, all trucks are inspected by the County Department of Environmental
Health to-ensure compliance with State standards. Litter is reduced since
transfer trucks are enclosed and because transfer stations provide a close-
in site for public deliveries. Public acceptance of transfer trucks is
greater than for more easily identifiable and unsightly "garbage trucks."
Under Condition #8, all Contra Costa waste must be brought in by transfer
trucks. Under Condition #5, the transfer station must have a hazardous
waste control program that is at least equivalent to the program conducted
at the Brisbane Transfer Station. Condition #10 requires that trucks be
enclosed to prevent litter. Condition #11 allows the Alameda County to
inspect all Contra Costa trucks which dispose at Altamont.
2. Plan Policy 3(b): Exporting county shall have an existing resource recovery
effort at least equal to that practiced in Alameda Count and must have an
q y
ongoing program to ensure future resource recovery rates consistent with
the goals in the Alameda County plan.
The Alameda County Solid Waste Management Plan calls for recovery of 30% of
waste by 1990, 45% by 1995 and 75% by 2005. The county currently recovers
about 6.8% of its wastestream. However, by the end of 1989, about 35% of
households in the county are expected to have weekly curbside collection
service (Albany, Berkeley, Fremont, Livermore, Newark and Union City).
Monthly service is available in Piedmont and parts of Oakland. Increased
commercial recycling is also underway.
Before importation may begin, Condition "7 requires verification that
current and proposed Contra Costa resource recovery efforts equal the
current and projected levels in Alameda County. In addition, the amount
of waste permitted for import is reduced if less than 35" of the Contra
Costa wasteshed has weekly curbside collection by December 31, 1989.
3. Plan Policy 3(c): Sufficient fully-permitted landfill capacity must be
demonstrated to exist in Alameda County to serve the needs of all County
jurisdictions for a minimum 50-year continuous period.
j In late-1985 independent consultants verified the capacity of Altamont
(Fill Areas 1 - 5) to be 74 million tons. With a given compaction rate
and annual growth rate, and assuming diversion of wastes to Altamont from
Vasco Road and Durham Road landfills after those facilities are filled, the
consultants found that Altamout landfill would reach capacity in +2019.
I !1
Alameda. County Waste Management Authority
Summary of July 19, 1989 Plan Amendment
Page 4.
i
However, only Fill Area 1 at Altamont, with a capacity of +29 million tons,
is "fully-permitted." The proposal to dispose 580,000 tons of Contra Costa
waste would use +2.0% of this capacity. Without Contra Costa waste, Fill
Area 1 would reach capacity between 1997 and 2000. Addition of Contra
Costa waste reduces this life by up to 2 and 1/2 months.
The lack of 50 years fully-permitted capacity has been apparent since the
Authority first adopted Policy 3(c) in 1987. The Authority is using San
Francisco mitigation fees to secure additional capacity. Under Conditions
'.
#17. and #18, OSC would pay the Authority a $3.09/ton fee on Contra Costa
waste (adjusted for inflation). The Authority would adopt an Expenditure
Plan for this account. The initial priority would be to acquire, in public
ownership, reserve landfill capacity for use by Alameda county jurisdic-
tions. The fee may also be spent on other programs to reduce waste, such
as recycling.
The proposed Plan Amendment would amend Policy 3(c) to specifically allow
for import from Contra Costa County for two years on an emergency basis.
4. Plan Policy 3(d): Consider requiring reciprocal use of capacity in land-
fills in the exporting county.
Condition #6 'provides that reciprocal capacity at new landfills in Contra
Costa county must be made available to Alameda county.
i
Contra Costa does not have excess landfill capacity. To date, the county
has been unable to locate and build new landfills. Due to State action,
Contra Costa County is now subject to a March 2, 1989 Peremptory Writ of
Mandate issued by the Superior Court. It includes a "Solid Waste ,Facility
Implementation Schedule" and "Landfill Plans and Projects Processing Time-
table" to complete an amendment to the Contra Costa County General Plan, an
amendment to the Contra Costa County Solid Waste Management Plan and all
environmental work necessary to establish a new landfill in Contra Costa.
To mitigate the conflict with Authority policy, Condition 106 also requires
a program to designate a new landfill in Contra Costa County. Condition u6
includes an implementation schedule that incorporates the schedule found in
i the March 22, 1989 Peremptory Writ of Mandate. However, it goes beyond the
Writ of Mandate by recognizing the cities and the operators in Contra Costa
as responsible parties. Also, where the Writ of Mandate stops after the
planning entitlements are granted, Condition u6 includes all activities up
to actual operation of a landfill by December 1, 1991.
Condition #6 provides that the Alameda County Zoning Administrator will
review the progress made in Contra Costa at six month intervals. He will
consult with the Authority and conduct public hearings. If he finds that
Contra Costa has not made sufficient progress to establish a landfill, he
may alter the terms of the conditional use permit including reducing or
prohibiting continued import of MSW from Contra Costa.

Page 4.
The Zoning Administrator shall confirm. that said Schedule provides for
-.i a program to designate a landfill sites) in the Contra Costa County
' Plan General Plan and Solid Waste Management g , a program to issue a CUP
for the landfill, acquire other necessary permits and establish an
j operating landfill. The program must provide landfill capacity in
Contra Costa County to meet the projected MSW needs of Contra Costa
for a minimum of 20 years.
The program must specify that the County Solid Waste Management Plan
provide for reciprocal use of the new landfill(s) to dispose MSW
generated in Alameda County, based on equivalent tonnage as would be
imported into Alameda County during the proposed two-year import
period. Reciprocal capacity shall be provided by Contra Costa County
at a price not to exceed the disposal cost at the Altamont Landfill as
inflated by Exhibit B of the Mitigated Negative Declaration provisions
or resulting from mandated costs attributed to changes in Federal or
State regulations. This capacity shall be guaranteed in whatever
landfill is finally approved and developed in Contra Costa County.
This capacity shall be guaranteed to the Alameda County Waste Manage-
ment Authority and its member agencies upon reasonable noitice of its
need and without conditions. The guarantee shall be in the form of a
binding agreement between the County of Contra Costa and the Alameda
County Waste Management Authority. The Authority considers that, due
to the long hauling distances to the future landfill(s) in Contra
Costa County, the reciprocal capacity provided for herein is expected
i
to used by Alameda County jurisdictions on an emergency basis and
does not mitigate the loss of landfill capacity in Alameda County that
would result from the proposed importation of Contra Costa MSW.
The Schedule and program shall be at least as restrictive and
comprehensive as the Solid Waste Disposal Facility Implementation
Schedule and Landfill Plans and Projects Processing Timetables
included in the March 2, 1989 Peremptory Writ of Mandate issues by
the Contra Costa County Superior Court. Before OSC may accept any
' Contra Costa County MSW, OSC shall also provide evidence to the Zoning

with the Alameda County Waste Management Authority, shall conduct a
li review to determine (1) whether sufficient progress has been achieved
.., in establishing a landfill and (2) whether the follow ing. specific
milestones have been achieved on schedule:
By September 1, 1989, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
.� shall have approved a county solid waste management plan containing
a landfill site(s) within Contra Costa County with capacity to meet
.,� the projected needs of Contra Costa for a minimum period of 20 years
and "providing for landfills in Contra Costa County to accept MSW
from Alameda County on a reciprocal basis.
. By October 15, 1989, the Contras Costa County Board of Supervisors
shall have approved a County General Plan Amendment to designate
the landfill site(s) identified above.
By December 1, 1989, the solid waste management plan specified above
shall have been approved by a majority of the cities in Contra Costa
County containing a majority of the incorporated population.
. By February 13, 1990, Contra Costa County shall have approved a CUP
for said landfill site(s) identified above.
. By December 1, 1990, obtain approvals from responsible agencies
including Authority to Construct from the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District and waste discharge requirements from the
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
By April 1, 1991, obtain building permits for construction from
County.
i
. By June 1, 1991 obtain solid waste facilities permit.
If the Zoning Administrator finds, in the sound exercise of his or her
discretion, based on the specific milestones set forth above and dates
i specified in Exhibit C, that Contra Costa County, its cities and land-
fill owners/operators are not making sufficient progress to establish
a landfill in Contra Costa, the Zoning Administrator, after a public
hearing and in accord with procedures that insure due process, shall
review and may alter the terms of the CUP up to and including reducing
or deleting provisions that provide for disposal of 580,000 tons of
MSW from the Contra Costa County wasteshed, limiting the wasteshed,
reducing the number of trucks that may dispose at Altamont Landfill
from Contra Costa, or other measures to protect the Alameda County
Solid Waste Management Plan and Alameda County's solid waste disposal
needs.

7. To mitigate impacts of the proposed—� $ P p p ecL project on resource recovery
f programs identified in this Initial Study (Section H.5), prior to the
;j start of Contra Costa import and at six-month intervals subsequent to
that date, OSC shall provide independent verification to the Alameda
County Zoning Adminstrator. and Waste Management Authority, prepared by
a person or firm approved by or satisfactory to the Zoning Administra-
tor, of the following:
. existing resource recovery programs recover at least 6.87 of the
MSW wastestream (by weight) generated in the part of Contra Costa
j` County that would be in the Altamont Landfill wasteshed. For
purposes of this measure, the wasteshed includes those communities
identified in Measure 2 which dispose at the Acme Fill Transfer
Station. Calculation of the amount of resource recovery shall be
on substantially the same basis in terms of materials and program
types as found in Table A-1 of the Alameda County Resource Recovery
and Recycling Plan, January, 1988.
;
that at least 137 of the population within that Contra Costa waste-
shed is already provided with weekly curbside collection programs at
the time that import to Alameda County is to begin; and that every
jurisdiction in that wasteshed with more than 3,000 population has
adopted a plan to initiate curbside collection on a jurisdiction-
wide basis by 1992.
. that no later than December 31, 1989, OSC shall provide evidence to
the Waste Management Authority that there is an operating weekly
curbside collection program serving at least 357 of the population
within the Contra Costa wasteshed for Altamont Landfill.
In the event that, by the date import is to begin, any Contra Costa
County community in the Altamont Landfill wasteshed has not adopted a
curbside collection plan as provided for herein, MSW from that commu-
nity shall not be accepted at Altamont Landfill. In the event that,
at the Acme Fill Transfer Station, waste from said community cannot
feasibly be separated from the waste of communities that do conform
to this measure, then the total tonnage (580,000 tons) and the daily
tonnage (1,100 TPD) that may be accepted from Contra Costa will be
i reduced by the amount generated by the non-conforming community(s).
In the event that less than 35% of the population in the Contra Costa
wasteshed for Altamont Landfill has weeny curbside collection in
place by December 31, 1989, the total tonnage (580,000 tons) and daily
I tonnage (1,100 TPD) that may be accepted from Contra Costa County will
be reduced by a percentage representing the difference between 357 and
the actual percent of population with available curbside service.

8. OSC shall accept for disposal at Altamont Landfill only Contra Costa
County MSW which is contained in solid waste transfer vehicles origi-
nating at the Acme Fill Transfer Station (interim or permanent).
The approach route from Contra Costa County shall be by way of I-680
to I-580 to Southfront Road to Greenville Road to Altamont Pass Road.
j.� The departure route from Altamont Landfill shall be by way of Altamont
Pass Road to Northfront Road to I-580 to I-680.
At a future date within the two year import period, OSC may propose
to accept containerized MSW at Altamont Landfill that is delivered by
'-•:; specially-designed transfer vehicles. The transfer vehicles would
' collect the contained MSW at a facility(ies) in Contra Costa County.
That facility(ies), in turn, would receive the contained MSW from
specially-designed route collection vehicles that would serve one or
more of the following cities: Danville, Walnut Creek, Lafayette and
unincorporated areas franchised by the Central Contra Costa County
Sanitary District. The proposal would reduce truck-related impacts by
eliminating direct-haul of collection vehicles to Acme Fill Transfer
Station and by shortening the distance travelled by transfer vehicles
to/from Altamont Landfill.
Also at a future date within the two year period, OSC may propose to
accept MSW at Altamont Landfill that is delivered by transfer vehicles
that originate at a transfer stations) in Contra Costa other than
the Acme Fill Transfer Station. Only MSW which originates from the
wasteshed defined in Measure 2 of this Initial Study could be accepted
at Altamont Landfill from this possible new transfer station.
The Alameda County Zoning Administrator and Waste Management Authority
will consider proposals for MSW originating from a containerized waste
transfer point or from transfer stations other than Acme Fill Transfer
Station if said facility(ies) has received all required land use
permits from the affected local Jurisdiction(s) in Contra Costa County
and is included in the Contra Costa County Solid Waste Management Plan
(as required by State codes). The proposed facility operations shall
have no significant impact on adjacent land uses, shall result in no
significant reduction in level of service on any road or result in a
significant negative impact on roadway condition, vectors, odors, air
Pollution, noise or landfill operations. The proposal shall have no
negative effects on mitigation measures specified herein. Further, in
the case of a containerized waste transfer point, the affected juris-
diction(s) shall have a weekly curbside collection recycling program
and a quarterly household hazardous waste collection program in place
at the time the new program becomes operational. Such consideration
by the Alameda County Zoning Administrator and Waste Management
Authority shall require compliance with CEQA, and other mitigation
measures may be required at the time the CEQA document is considered.
Public hearings must be held by the County Zoning Administrator and
I'• Authority prior to authorization.

Waste Management Authority, contingency plans to be used in the event
of temporary or unexpected permanent closure of the Altamont Landfill
or the Acme Fill Transfer Station. The contingency plan shall
identify potential temporary sites and course of action for disposal
of MSW during periods of closure.
17. To mitigate project-related environmental impacts identified in this
! Initial Study, other than roadway impacts, OSC shall
pay a per ton
mitigation fee of $3.09 on MSW imported from Contra Costa County, to
be adjusted by an inflation factor as provided in Exhibit B of this
Initial Study. Said payment shall be made monthly to the Waste
Management Authority after the start of importation.
18. Fees received from OSC pursuant to Measure No. 17 shall be placed in

pursuant to Measure No. 17 to mitigate short- and long-term impacts
of Contra Costa importation within one year of the start of Contra
Costa importation, and after review of the Expenditure Plan by member
agencies of the Authority.
The initial priority for mitigation shall be to acquire, in public
ownership, reserve landfill capacity sufficient to serve the needs of
all Alameda County jurisdictions for a minimum fifty year continuous
period. Other priorities shall include support of resource recovery
and other programs to preserve landfill capacity through reduction of
the wastestream requiring disposal, as provided in the Alameda County
Resource Recovery and Recycling Plan.
19. There shall be no assignment, trade, sale or any other creation of an
interest by Contra Costa County solid waste exporters in capacity at
the Altamont Landfill to any other public agency or private party.

20. Within 45 days of approval of the CUP, OSC shall submit for review by
the Zoning Administrator a draft program for monitoring and enforce-
ment of the impact mitigation measures and conditions of approval for
the project. Responsible and Trustee Agencies (as defined by CEQA)
may require similar monitoring programs where measures are required to
` mitigate impacts of the project. A final program should be adopted by
the Zoning Administrator within 45 days of submittal of the program by
OSC. The final program shall include provision that OSC pay to Alameda
County full costs incurred for review, approval, administration, moni-
toring and inspection of all programs. It should be recognized that
this may require hiring additional personnel on a part-time or full-
time basis. The cost of the program shall not exceed $250,000. This
cost does not include routine costs of the local enforcement agency
program or programs mandated by other responsible agencies. The Zoning
Administrator may use employees of the Planning Department, other
agencies and/or private consultants, as needed, to conduct such
reviews, inspections and administration to ensure satisfactory imple-
mentation and enforcement of these measures. When required by the
Zoning Administrator, OSC shall post a cash deposit to cover estimated
costs to satisfy this requirement.

SOLID W,*,STE MANAGEMENT PLA!4
I. State law requires each county to prepare a County Solid
Waste Management Plan. The Plan- must be approved by the
Board.of Supervisors, a majority of the cities containing a
majority of the incorporated popdlation, and the California
waste Management Board.
2. A;p:cval of the Plan is subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act. The County has determined, with
the concurrence of the California Waste Management Board,
that an Environmental Impact Report is necessary.
3. In accordance with State law, the Plan must! show eight years
of continuous landfill capacity. This can be shown by use
of the ex-,sting capacity at remaining landfills, reserved
sites (sites that have a General Plan Amendment as well as
being identified in xhc Plan), and fully-executed waste
export agreements with other counties.
4. The Board of Supervisors has reaffirmed its support for the
Keller-Bailey landfill.
5. Contra Costa County is currently in the process of obtaining
agreements for waste export with other counties, including
Alameda and Solano Counties.
6. Contra Costa County and the California waste Management
Board have determined that a timetable showing completion of
the Solid Waste Management Plan along with Completion of
export agreements and General Plan Amendments for reserved
sites is necessary.
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors RESOLVES that:
I. This Board will expedite cc,-,.pletion of the County Solid-
Waste Management Plan, the General Plan Amendment for the
Keller-Bailey landfill site in accordance with the attached
timetable.
2. county staff is directed to channel staff resources and
consultants to ensure that the timetable is met.
3. Staff is requested to report to the Board of Supervisors on
a regular basis progress in meeting the timetable and to
update and adjust the timetable as necessary.
4. Staff is directed to transmit this timetable and its updates
to the California Waste Management Board, counties we are
discussing waste export agreements with, and other public
agencies within Contra Costa County.
