The Austin Road Landfill is located southeast of the City of Stockton,on the west side of Austin Road, approximately 8,000 feet south of Arch Road (see Figure 1). Vehicular access to the landfill is from Austin Road on the east of the site.- Approximately 182.5 acres are occupied by the existing Austin Road Landfill,consisting of a 166-acre active area and the original borrow pit,and 16.5 acres for a flood control easement for the North Branch of the South Fork of Little Johns Creek,which separates the active area from the borrow pit(see Figure 2). Of the 166-acre active area, approximately 45 acres arc occupied by the borrow pit and 121 acres are active landfill. A landfill gas collection system and electricity generation facility are installed at the landfill. F ' The proposed 219-acre expansion of the Austin` Pan Road Landfill is to the north and southeast of the existing landfill operation. As shown in Figure 3,the expansion area consists of three separate parcels;the 125- aF` cre site acquired from the CAlifornia Youth Authority(CYA parcel),the 83-acre site acquired from C bert Brocchini Farms,Inc. (Brocchini parcel),and the 11-acre Triangular Property acquired from the {I y' + A. r F The 125-acre CYA parcel,directly north of the existing landfill,is restricted by the terms of acquisition to use as a borrow site,composting, and pre-approved agricultural uses. Under the proposed project,it � would be used for an additional borrow site and ancillary facilities including the entrance, administration 1 1 offices, and a leachate detection pond. Following certification of the 1994 EIk borrow operations were initiated at the CYA parcel,and are ongoing. Areas of the CYA parcel are also set aside for a Materials Recovery Facility and a composting or co-composting area,which would require separate environmental I analysis if these facilities are ultimately proposed. The 83-acre Brocchini parcel is directly east of the existing 45-acre borrow pit. It was purchased by the City of Stockton and is proposed for use as landfill,with the exception of 10.3 acres in its northeast corner,which are proposed for use as a wildlife preserve and floodplain. The 11-acre Triangular Property is located northeast of the existing landfill site,west of Austin Road, and east of the CYA parcel. The Triangular Property was purchased by the City of Stockton and would be used for floodplain during the 100 year storm event and access road right-of-way. At the time the 1994 EIR was written,the proposed Triangular Property acquisition consisted of a 6.5-acre triangular parcel, F between Austin Road and the landfill access road,to be used as floodplain. Since that time,the City of Stockton acquired a total of I 1 acres,consisting of the original 6.5 acres plus an additional 4.5 acres. The additional 4.5 acres consist of approximately 1.7 acres along the route of the existing landfill access road i joining Austin Road, and approximately 2.8 acres adjoining the CYA parcel on the west and the access road on the south. The additional 1.7 acres would be used as access road right-of-way. The additional 2,8 acres are not required for the purposes of the landfill expansion,but were included in the purchase at the request of the CYA. 1Adiacent Land Uses Adjacent land uses include the Forward,Inc.
