3 • Distribution of letter to property owners within 3/ mile of the landfill informing them that they are eligible for a County provided illegal dumping cleanup, based on certain criteria that will be outlined in the letter • Provide a time period not exceeding 90 days to respond to County letter • Solicitation of proposals from companies interested in and capable of providing cleanup services, selecting two that will be under contract to Orange County • Receiving expressions of interest from property owners within 90 day deadline • County staff, along with selected cleanup service contractors, will evaluate each property to determine level of effort and equipment/labor resources necessary for cleanup, to identify any questionable materials that may be present (hazardous waste or buried waste materials) and to evaluate contractor access to the debris. • Obtain written authorization from property owner to conduct agreed upon cleanup activities and necessary liability waivers • Staff obtain quotes for service and authorize a contractor to proceed with cleanup • Objective is to complete all neighborhood cleanup activities no later than April 1, 2013, but work must be completed by the anticipated June 30, 2013 landfill closure. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The costs for this cleanup project are dependent on the level of response from residents eligible for this service and the ultimate conditions existing in the designated area. Previous estimates began at about $50,000, but costs also could easily exceed this amount. All funding for this project will be provided by the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board review the proposed neighborhood cleanup process and timeline, provide any further guidance as necessary, and authorize staff to proceed with implementation of landfill neighborhood notification and cleanup activities to be funded by the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.
