REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
The City of Santa Clarita is requesting qualifications and services from a consulting
company who has prior experience working for the public sector.
Conduct a threshold reconnaissance of the Draft Environmental Impact
Report/ Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Elsmere Canyon Solid Waste
Management facility. Produce a detailed critique of the socioeconomics and related, (e.g.
growth -inducing or growth -limiting impacts) sections of the Draft EIR/EIS to assist the
City of Santa Clarita in deciding what further analysis, if any, would be productive.
I. SCOPE OF WORK
1.0 A critical review of the relevant Draft EIR/EIS sections and technical
appendices, with the exception of the subsections on utility systems.
2.0 A computer-based literature review of the relevant pr;,fessional and
governmental literature that bears on the issues addressed in the
socioeconomic section, including the article sited in the Draft EIR/EIS
concerning property value impacts.
3.0 Discussion with other members of the Disney/City project team who have
substantial experience with the physical impacts of landfill development.
4.0 Preparation of a concise memorandum summarizing the assessments of the
strengths and weaknesses of the relevant Draft EIR/EIS sections and
appendices. Identify the possibility of significant new effects that were not
addressed in the Draft EIR/EIS, outline a research approach for introducing
new information that will meet a court's test of "substantial evidence."
5.0 Identification/evaluation of impacts of comparable projects. Based on
information from the literature search and/or contact with key government
agencies identify comparable projects and their impacts on local economies.

rfq.els
page no.1
6.0 Prepare a memorandum detailing comments that could be submitted to the
lead agency as part of the City's written comments on the Draft EIR/EIS.
7.0 Prepare a report to City recommending additional economic analysis and
modeling which will help demonstrate the economic consequences of siting
the proposed Elsmere Canyon Solid Waste Management Facility. Possible
areas for consideration for additional analysis::
7.1 Collection of operating financial statements from landfill operations
elsewhere in Southern California to define annual expenditures and
their locational impacts. Determine the purchasing practices in
terms of goods and services purchased locally and their impacts on
local economies. Interview executives of chambers of commerce in
areas which host ongoing landfill operations to determine whether
there is significant perceived local economic value or negative
impacts associated with a facility of this type.
7.2 Evaluation of the negative impacts of the project. Provide an
evaluation of the negative, social and economic impacts of the
proposed project. Deal with both hard issues such as direct
economic impacts on key industries (such as film) and on soft issues
related to community issues and related factors. Include levels of
impact such as direct impact on key industries, indirect impacts on
other industries, induced effects on overall economy, resulting from
the diminution of economic activity resulting from the project and
multiplier effects.
7.3 Analyze the economic consequences of the disaster scenarios. Use
the Draft EIR/EIS to identify impacts of the Northridge Earthquake
on local landfills as a basis for predicting what might occur at
Elsmere should there be another earthquake of similar or greater
magnitude., Prepare an analysis of the economic consequences
resulting from such a catastrophic failure.
7.4 Evaluate the Elsmere Corporation's business plan. Determine the
credibility of the financial plan for developing and operating the
project. Evaluate the Elsmere Corporation's ability to provide
financial assurances and guarantees as required under RCRA
Subtitle D for operational, closure and post -closure responsibilities
for landfill operations.
7.5 Evaluate the cumulative impacts to the regions' socioeconomics
when combined with an expanded Sunshine Canyon Landfill,
Chiquita Canyon Landfill and Peter Pitchess County Jail.
