Clean San Joaquin has followed closely the County's <br /> processing of the applicant's proposals to expand the landfill. To this end, it commented <br /> extensively during the applicant's 2012 proposal to expand the landfill. <br /> Although the applicant now proposes a reduced disposal footprint in comparison to the <br /> 2012 proposal, it is clear that the current project would result in extensive environmental harm. <br /> Indeed, the County anticipates providing supplemental analysis for many, if not all, of the same <br /> environmental impact categories that were included in the 2012 EIR. Consequently, inasmuch as <br /> we anticipate similar issues to accompany the applicant's current proposal, we recommend the <br /> County review our April 6, 2012 letter on the prior NOP. This letter is attached and is hereby <br /> incorporated by reference. <br /> Please keep me informed of all notices, hearings, staff reports,briefings, meetings, and <br /> other events related to the proposed Project. In addition, please notify me of the release of the <br /> draft supplemental EIR for the proposed landfill expansion Project. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> SHUTE, MIHALY &WEINBERGER LLP <br /> Laurel L.
