SUBJECT: 4.11(b)--Benton Land�ll Budget Amendment
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving and adopting the 41St Amendment to City Budget Resolution No.
2025-049 increasing appropriations by $24,240 for a Report of Waste Discharge for Fiscal Year
2025-26 for the City of Redding (City)-owned Benton Land�ll (Assessor's Parcel No. 104�100�
032) for the City's Solid Waste Utility.
Fiscal Impact
The recommended budget resolution will not impact the General Fund. The City of Redding
(City) Solid Waste Utility maintains a restricted cash account for the Benton Landfll. Currently,
the Cash - Restricted Landfill account balance is $1,958,852.03. Adopting the budget resolution
will not prevent the City from meeting other obligations related to landfill monitoring and
maintenance.
Alterna�ive Action
The City Council could choose not to adopt the Resol�ution and provide alternate direction to
staff.
Background/Analysis
The City owns the closed Benton Landfill (APN 104-100-032) and is required to perform
monitoring and maintenance of the closed landfill. The expenses incurred at the landfill are paid
far by a restricted landfill account funded by a percentage charge on a11 Solid Waste Utility
customers monthly bill. For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the adopted budget for the landfill was
$216,489.
Report to Redding City Council June 9,2026
Re: 4.11(b)--Benton Landfill BudgetAmendment Page2
The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a letter dated April 23, 2026,
requesting that the City provide an updated Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) that addresses
California Code of Regulations, title 27 (Title 27), Article 4, sections 21710, 21720, 21740,
21750 and 21760 for Benton landfill. The ROWD wi11 also include an updated Post-Closure
Maintenance Plan with cost estimates for performing post-closure maintenance activities, and for
scenarios associated with responses to reasonably foreseeable releases from the landfill
(corrective action). The updated ROWD is requested to be submitted as part of an updated 7oint
Technical Document(JTD) in accordance with Title 2'7, section 21585.
The last ROWD was completed in 2012 and is now considered outdated by the water board and
the letter requests that the updated documents be submitted by July 1, 2026. The City contracts
with Lawrence & Associates for testing and monitoring services for the Benton landfill.
Lawrence &Associates are able to provide an updated Joint Technical Document and Report of
Waste Discharge for the landfill on the City's behalf but the expense was not anticipated so it
was not included in the most recent budget development. In order to comply with the requested
timeline staff is requesting a budget amendment to cover the expense.
Envit�onmental Review
This activity is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no
further action is required.
