Niles Superjntendent,of Operations February 29, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA: Mr. G. A. Ho rs tko t to , General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: Report of Alameda County Comprehensive Health Planning Council Workshop Meeting on Saturday, February 26, 1972. 1. The undersigned attended subject meeting as an observer. Two members of the District Advisory Committee on Solid Waste Recycling (Mr. Robert Grinstead and Mrs. Kris Hiller) also attended. 2. The workshop meeting was advertised to the public for the purpose of pre- senting re -senting four regional plans for solid waste management for consideration by the Alameda Health Planning Council who in turn would make recommendation to the County as to which plan to adopt. 3. Attendance at the meeting approximated 120 persons. 4. Mr. Leonard Steffanelli, Public Affairs Officer, California Refuse Removal Council and also President of Sunset Scavenger Company, San Francisco, reported for private enterprise. He indicated that the Refuse Council supported a re- gional cnncept for the Bay Area on solid waste management, but emphasized that private enterprise desired full participation with government in any approach to be adopted. Mr. Steffanelli stated private enterprise had been doing a satisfactory job in the Bay Area and that it had the financial resources to develop additional facilities if required. He further indicated that sanitary landfill was the most practical method for disposal of solid waste and that it will be with us for the foreseeable future. Mr. Steffanelli stated that four major disposal sites were available in the Bay Area (San Mateo, Alameda, Acme Fill and Napa) and that these sites could handle Bay Area solid waste for the next 150 years. Lastly, he stated that the most economical method for disposal and to exploit the potentials of recycling was to concentrate solid waste in large masses. 5. Mr. Peter Vardy, Consulting Engineer to Kaiser Sand and Gravel, reported on a regional plan to dispose of Bay Area solid waste near Livermore in a 775 acre site. Mr. Vardy estimated that 50 million tons of refuse coilld be absorbed in the Kaiser site and would have a 45-80 year capacity. Mr. Vardy indicated that any regional plan must be: Economical, technically feasible, and politically and socially acceptable. The latter point is the most difficult to overcome. Page 2 6. Mr. John H. Plumb, Secretary, E. B. M. U. D. reported on the E. B. M. U. D. Solid Waste Committee Report. Mr. Plumb did not present a regional plan for disposal of solid waste. Rather, Mr. Plumb focussed on E. B. M. U. D. being the agency responsible for administering a regional plan. Mr. Plumb indicated that the Board of E. B. M. U. D. desired public response on the question of whether E. B. M. U. D. should go into solid waste disposal. In fact, he encouraged the public to respond either by letter to the E. B. M. U. D. Board or by attending its meetings. Mr. Plumb stressed that only E. B. M. U. D. has the authority to manage a regional plan involving Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. 7. Mr. Hans A. Feibusch, President, Environmental Impace Planning Corporation and a Commissioner on BCDC presented the details of the SPUR report for regional disposal of solid waste to the islands of the delta. Mr. Feibusch indicated a 100 ton demonstration program to determine the feasibility of the SPUR plan would require 3 years. 8. Senator Nicholas Petri joined the meeting and made a presentation on his senate bill calling for development of a 100 year land use plan. In fact, his presentation was oriented to generate public support for his bill. 9. Supervisor Fred Cooper, Alameda, addressed the meeting and indicated Federal and State governments should take action to generate markets for recycling of solid waste. Mr. Cooper indicated his support and interest in the problems the people in the audience were addressing. 10. It appeared to the undersigned that subject meeting was primarily oriented toward eliciting public response. Respectfully submitted, E. K. Davis, Secretary Forward: G. A.
