RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to submit Grant Application #28-759-5 (TEA-18), to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $370,826, for the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program, for the period from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this application will result in an amount not to exceed $370,826 from CalRecycle for the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program. The funds are allocated and available from CalRecycle for grants to solid waste Local Enforcement Agencies (LEA) and cities and counties with regulatory authority within the city and county government to perform enforcement/compliance and surveillance activities at waste tire facilities. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Environmental Health/General Programs is the solid waste LEA for the entire county, including all incorporated cities except for the City of Pittsburg. CalRecycle has been delegated the responsibility for the administration of the program within the state, setting up necessary procedures governing application by cities and counties under the program. The applicant (Contra Costa County) demonstrates it has sufficient staff resources, technical expertise, and/or experience with similar projects to carry out the proposed program.

Approval of application #28-759-5 will allow Contra Costa County Environmental Health services to apply for funds to implementation the waste tire enforcement program through June 30, 2012.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not be able to monitor and reduce illegal waste tire practices, educate and enforce proper waste tire management throughout the County, assist in reducing potential vector problems and prevent tire fires, nor protect public health and safety.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
