to the start of import under this plan amendment; Condition <br /> No. 4, which limits minimum daily tonnage requirements and <br /> requires payment of liquidated damages if import continues <br /> after landfill capacity is available in Contra Costa County; <br /> and Condition No. 9, which increases the mitigation fee from <br /> $10.30 per ton to $15.00 per ton after April 1, 1992 and <br /> provides that, if import ceases early, a portion of the <br /> advance lump sum payment is reduced; <br /> <br />[2] A per ton mitigation fee and expenditure plan to <br />replace lost landfill capacity is required under Condition <br />9(a); $8.70 of the initial $10.30 fee being the value of <br />lost capacity based on an analyses of landfill valuation <br />conducted by N.E.R.A. consultants for this project; <br /> <br />[3] Disposal at landfills in other counties is part of the <br />project background description and would not require a <br />mitigation measure: Contra Costa has secured an agreement to <br />dispose the maximum permitted tonnage at landfilla in Solano <br />County. Continued use of such capacity is assured by the <br />higher mitigation fees and other requirements imposed on <br />wastes disposed in Alameda County by the ACWMA under this <br />Plan Amendment. The original proposal by OSC to accept up <br />to 507,000 tons per year from Contra Costa County is, <br />reduced, under Conditions No. 2 and No. 4 to 445,000 tons <br />per year by excluding waste from west Contara Costa County, <br />which has been determined to have adequate short-term <br />capacity at the Richmond Landfill; <br /> <br />[4] Increased diversion of waste in Contra Costa is <br />provided under Condition No. 6 which requires establishment <br />of certain recycling programs and sets a waste diversion <br />performance standard equal to that of Alameda County; <br /> <br />[5] Reciprocal capacity is identified in the EIR as an <br />alternative to a per ton mitigation fee. However, the EIR <br />states that reciprocity would not fully mitigate the project <br />impact because it does not provide in-county replacement <br />capacity and is less certain; nevertheless, Condition No. 8 <br />does require Contra Costa County to provide reciprocal <br />capacity under emergency circumstances, without a reduction <br />in the per ton mitigation fee; <br /> <br /> BE IT FURTwRRRESOLVED that this ACWMA does approve <br />said amendment to the Alameda County CoSWMP as follows: <br /> <br /> <br />
