RFP - City of Orland - for Environmental Services for the Proposed Commerce Plaza Commercial Project - CEQA Analysis Services
The City of Orland invites qualified environmental firms to submit proposals for environmental services for the proposed Commerce Plaza ("Project", "Proposed Project"). The Proposed Project is summarized as follows:
The Project will be located on 4.2 acres of land on two separate parcels (APNs 045-170-041 and 045-170-042). The two parcels are within the City of Orland. Potential commercial development at the Project site may include a range of typical commercial uses. At this time, the Applicant has requested approval from the City of Orland for the following uses: two 2,000 sq. ft. restaurants and a 4,500 sq. ft. restaurant on parcel A and a 3,400 sq. ft. convenience store and restaurant with fueling bays and a car wash on parcel B. Table 1 summarizes the proposed development components.

Based on the findings of the Initial Study (IS) prepared for the Project (Attachment E), the Project may require either an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND).

RFP - COUNTY OF VENTURA - Annual Surface Mine Inspections, Review of Financial Assurances, and Related Services for Compliance with the State Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA)
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: February 7, 2020 at 5:00 p.m.
Ventura County
Resource Management Agency
Planning
800 S. Victoria Avenue
Ventura CA 93009
SERVICES TENTATIVELY REQUESTED
The County of Ventura, Resource Management Agency, Planning Division (hereinafter County), is requesting proposals for consultant services to perform the tasks relating to the Surface Mine Inspections Program, currently performed by County staff. The County is currently responsible for the inspection, reporting and enforcement of violations for eleven (11) active surface mines within the Countys jurisdiction. These mines currently extract sand, gravel, clay, silica sand, gypsum, and hard rock. Each mine has a Conditional Use Permit which details the mines operational requirements, and each is subject to regulations outlined by the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) enacted by the California Department of Conservation. Under SMARA, the County is responsible for assuring that adverse environmental impacts are minimized and mined lands are reclaimed to a usable condition. In order to actively mine within the County, certain criteria must be met to ensure compliance with SMARA. Each mine also has a Reclamation Plan which details the plans for complete reclamation of the mine site after mining has ceased. The Reclamation Plan is used as a tool to guide the mine operator in achieving site reclamation once the life of the mined site has ended. To ensure compliance, the mine operator must comply with the Conditional Use Permit and Reclamation Plan through the life of the project and permit annual inspections by the County. An understanding of each sites Conditional Use Permit and Reclamation Plan is the primary instrument used to address compliance during annual site visits.
Along with the Reclamation Plan, certain financial obligations must be met. An annual Financial Assurance Cost Estimate (FACE) must be reported by the mine operator to identify the total cost of immediate reclamation. Each mine operator is responsible for maintaining a Financial Assurance Mechanism (FAM), which holds the operator accountable for total reclamation outlined in the FACE. The mine operator is also responsible for maintaining a deposit account with the County to fund time spent during inspection and reporting. The County works together with the Division of Mine Reclamation (DMR) and the mine operator to ensure compliance with SMARA and proper reclamation of each mine site.
