ENVIRONMENTAL AND DEVELOPMENT -RELATED FEES AND CHARGES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH DISTRICT CODE CHAPTER 6.30,
EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2024
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
(Central San) finds that Central San incurs substantial costs to provide various
environmental and development -related services, such as, but not limited to,
administration and processing of annexations, customer assistance at the permit
counter, plan review and inspection for sewer line installation, alteration, replacement
and repair, the inclusion of new information on Central San's maps, administration and
permit inspection related to the Environmental Compliance Program, permitting of
septage and grease haulers, and treatment of grease and septage at the treatment
plant; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that it is necessary to charge customers and other users of
Central San's services to recover the reasonable cost of providing said services; and
WHEREAS, Central San staff has comprehensively analyzed the actual cost of
providing the various environmental and development -related services listed above
based on direct costs, staff costs and overhead for time and effort incurred to provide
listed services; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that the Schedule of Environmental and Development -
Related Fees and Charges, as reflected in Exhibit "A" to this Ordinance, reasonably
represents the actual costs to provide the services delineated in said Schedule of Fees
and Charges; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that this action is categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15273 (a)(1) and (3) of the State
CEQA Guidelines, in that the Fees and Charges are being charged merely to reimburse
Central San for staff costs and expenses.
