As a result of staff's consultation with <br />the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), it has concluded that it <br />can obtain permits from the RWQCB for the re -use of the excess soils on the over -flow ponds <br />on-site. <br />Analysis <br />Reusing the soil on-site will create a usable space for the storage of equipment and is <br />estimated to cost less than moving the soil to a disposal facility. A consultant with experience <br />in the regulatory requirements of the RWQCB is needed to complete required design and <br />permit documents to successfully pursue reuse of the soil. <br />Two proposals for this design work were received. Carollo Engineers, Inc. was selected as <br />the most qualified firm because of the firm's recent experience in the design of the 3.0 million <br />gallon equalization storage facility that was constructed as part of the WPCP Rehabilitation <br />Project. The design methodology and construction techniques at the constructed storage <br />facility are very similar to those needed on the proposed equipment pad. <br />If the RWQCB approval is not received, the soil must be transported off-site. In that case, City <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 3/11/2014 <br />
