Solid Waste Solid waste generated at the project site is currently disposed of at Foothill Sanitary Landfill, east of Linden, and North County Landfill, east of Lodi. These landfills have capacity to handle all solid waste generated by the County through 2050. The 2015 project with Phase II interchange improvements will generate approximately 36.2 tons per day. Natural Gas and Electricity PG&E has adequate capacity to serve the airport project with natural gas from its existing 24-inch high pressure main located adjacent to Airport Way. PG&E also has adequate capacity to serve the airport project with electricity. Cultural Resources In the last 25 years, a total of nine cultural resource surveys have been conducted within the project area and have resulted in coverage of most of the project area. These surveys have resulted in the identification of four prehistoric cultural resource sites. All of these sites are located in the northeast portion of the project area, where limited industrial uses are proposed. Test excavations and backhoe trenches were conducted at two of the prehistoric sites. Because of FAA involvement in the project, the archaeological consultants were required to evaluate the resources for significance according to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) criteria, pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. In compliance with CEQA, the resources were also evaluated according to the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) criteria. The prehistoric resources were evaluated for their potential to yield further data important to prehistory. According to the Final EiR, the prehistoric sites lacked integrity and the potential to yield further data and were determined not to be significant cultural resources. Various historic structures dating from World War 11 exist on the project site. These structures are all associated with the Army Air Corps occupation of the site and are located in the southwest comer of the project area, north of the National Guard Armory. The Stockton Metropolitan Airport of today bears scant resemblance to the Stockton Field of 1941-1945. The integrity of design has been altered significantly through the removal of 96 percent of the buildings and structures that were present during World War II. The setting, feeling, and association has also been considerably altered by structural removal as well as the construction of new buildings and structures and the modernization of the facility. The Stockton Metropolitan Airport facility does not communicate the relevant significance of the Stockton Field district; it does not reflect the appearance of a World War 11 aviation center in any manner. Therefore, as a district, the Stockton Field is not eligible to the National Register of Historic Places or to the California Register of Historical Resources. In conclusion, no significant known historic or prehistoric resources exist within the project area. If in the course of ground disturbing activities unidentified cultural resources or human remains are discovered, construction will be stopped, and the procedures required in Appendix K of the State CEQA Guidelines shall be followed.
