Potrero Hills Landfill Expansion

Potrero Hills Landfill Expansion

Solano County released the Draft EIR for the Potrero Hills Landfill Expansion Project. The Draft EIR evaluated the environmental impacts associated with the proposed expansion of the Potrero Hills Landfill. Following the close of the public review period, the Final EIR was prepared and released on March 7, 2005. The Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on Sept 13, 2005, at which time the Board certified the Final EIR. Following certification of the Final EIR, a CEQA challenge was filed in the Solano County Superior Court. On Feb 26, 2007, the Court issued its decision in the matter "Protect the Marsh v. County of Solano, et al", Case No. FCS026839, Solano County Superior Court. The Court found that the Final EIR certified by the County of Solano in Sept 2005 was deficient in three areas: air quality, water supply and alternatives. Subsequently, on June 10, 2008, the Solano County Board of Supervisors re-certified the EIR to address the deficient areas. This was the subject of a July 23, 2008 hearing in Solano County Superior Court as a follow-up to the above referenced case. The court issued its decision on Oct 14, 2008 wherein the Court ordered the County to vacate and set aside the certification of the re-certified EIR and undertake further analysis of the "no project" alternative. In accrodance with Public Resources Code Section 21092.1 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5, the County of Solano is recirculating portions of the Recirculated Revised Final EIR in response to the Court's Oct 14, 2008 decision. In accordance with Section 15088.5(f)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines, commenters are asked to limit their comments to the revised sections of the Recirculated Revised Final EIR.
