This agreement reimburses the department in an amount not to exceed $3120 to inspect recycling establishments on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) in Contra Costa County. There is no cost share requirement and the revenue from this agreement has been anticipated in the department's 16/17 budget.
