RESOURCE IMPACT
The budget for these HHW facility improvements have been approved as part of the Capital
Improvement Program Project (CIP) RF-07001. CIP RF-07001 also includes the relocation of the
existing Recycling Center. This project is scheduled to be constructed in FY 2012. If the grant is
secure'd, grant monies will reimburse CIP funding used in the HHW facility expansion part of this
project and reduce RefuseFund expenses. Any funds required in excess of the HHW Grant are
expected to be within the approved budget amount.
Staff will submit the application, administer agreements and amendments, and submit for
reimbursements periodically during the project as required by the grant conditions.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
This grant program is consistent with two of the City Council's 2011 top 5 priorities,
environmental sustainability through the removal and proper management of hazardous
wastes from the waste stream, sanitary sewer and storm drains and City finances by seeking
outside funding sources for City infrastructure projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of the Administering Agency-State Master Agreements does not constitute a project
for purposes of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) or the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no environmental analysis is required to apply for
this grant. Environmental review is currently underway as part of the CEQA process for the
permitting and construction phase of this project.
