�. Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page I-5 Forward Inc.Landfill 2014 Expansion Project • all revised impacts can be mitigated to a less-than-significant level with implementation of identified measures, and • only six of the topics addressed in the 2013 EIR (Land Use and Agricultural Resources, Transportation and Circulation,Noise,Air Quality/Odor/Climate Change, Public Health and Safety, and Biological Resources) would be affected by the proposed changes. r. Therefore,the County determined that a Supplemental EIR is the appropriate document to ana- lyze the proposed 2014 Expansion Project. L D. SCOPE OF THIS SUPPLEMENTAL EIR On July 15, 2014 the San Joaquin County Planning Department circulated a Notice of Prepara- tion (NOP) to help identify the types of impacts that could result from changes to the proposed 2014 Expansion Project, as well as potential areas of controversy. The NOP was mailed to pub- lic agencies (including the State Clearinghouse),organizations, and individuals considered likely to be interested in the proposed Project and its potential impacts.The public comment period ended on August 15, 2014. Based on preliminary research into the potential environmental ef- fects of the Project and scoping, the County determined that potential new significant effects of the proposed Project would be limited to the topics of land use (including airport land use com- patibility) and agricultural resources,biological resources, traffic,noise, air quality, and health risk. The NOP and written comments received during the scoping period are included in Appendices A and B. L E. USES OF THIS SUPPLEMENTAL EIR This document is a project-level Supplemental EIR for the 2014 Forward Landfill Expansion Project. Its primary use is to provide CEQA compliant review of any changes to impacts identified in the 2013 EIR that may result from modifications to the proposed 2014 Expansion Project and changes to background conditions that have been identified since certification of the 2013 EIR. Under CEQA, a responsible agency is an agency other than the lead agency that has a legal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project or elements of a project (Public Resource Code [PRC] Section 21069). Responsible agencies are encouraged to actively participate in the CEQA process of the lead agency,review the CEQA documents of the lead agencies,and use the documents when making decisions on the project. Possible CEQA responsible agencies for components of this project that are proposed to change include: • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) • California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) • California Department of Water Resources ,L • Central Valley Flood Protection Board • San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department �. • San Joaquin County Department of Public Works • San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District L
