Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report - Page I1-3 <br /> Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project <br /> composting facility)to the north and realigning the South Branch of the South Fork <br /> of Littlejohns Creek to the southern and eastern boundary of the site). This would <br /> ` increase total landfill capacity by approximately 8.0 million cubic yards beyond <br /> currently permitted levels instead of the previously proposed 32 million-cubic- <br /> yard expansion. All of the increase would be Class II landfill space, to allow the <br /> expansion area to accept both Class II and Class III waste. <br /> jr•, As with the 2013 Landfill Expansion Project, the currently proposed Project <br /> would relocate 3,000 feet of the South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns <br /> Creek(which currently traverses the landfill) to the southeastern boundaries of <br /> the site to provide additional separation of the creek from the landfill. The <br /> relocated creek would be 3,200 feet in length. <br /> The additional development of the disposal area would increase total landfill capacity <br /> 6 by approximately 8.0 million cubic yards beyond currently permitted levels, which <br /> would allow disposal at the landfill to continue until approximately 2031, rather than <br /> the 2013 Project's 2039 estimated closure date. Other site operations would remain as <br /> described in the 2013 FEIR. <br /> As noted above, the previous 2012 project included cannery waste processing in areas of <br /> site that are not being used for disposal at the time. After the 2013 EIR was prepared, in <br /> February 2014, the Regional Water Quality Control Board issued new Waste Discharge <br /> Requirements (WDRs) R5-2014-0006 for the Forward Landfill that included, among <br /> other modifications, land application of cannery waste in the northern portion of the site <br /> (north of the North Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek). The 2014 Expansion <br /> Project does not change this. <br /> C.
