W • Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page H-2 • Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project • addition, approximately 11 acres of currently permitted landfill disposal area in • the southern portion of the Forward Landfill would be relocated within the currently permitted landfill boundary due to realignment of the South Fork of • South Littlejohns Creek (also known as the South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek). • • Increase the remaining landfill capacity by approximately 32.0 million cubic • yards (cy) to approximately 54.0 million cubic yards (cy). All of the increase • would be Class II landfill space and would extend the landfill closure date to • approximately 20391. • Relocate approximately 3,000 feet of the South Fork of South Littlejohns Creek (which currently traverses the landfill)to the southeastern boundaries of the site to provide additional separation of the creek from the landfill. The relocated • creek will be approximately 3,200 feet in length. • Allow cannery waste processing in areas of site that are not being used for • disposal at the time. • The Board of Supervisors certified the 2013 Forward Landfill Expansion Final • Environmental Impact Report however the project application required an override to • the Airport Land Use Plan by the County Board of Supervisors, which was not • approved. • In 2014, Forward proposed a smaller increase in permitted landfilling capacity that did not • include the previously proposed expansion of landfilling operations on the 184-acre • Brocchini parcel. This proposed increase in landfill acreage was entirely within the • boundary of the 567-acres permitted under the current land use permit(UP-00-0007/ER- • 00-0002)approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 8,2003. A Draft Supplemental EIR (DSEIR)was circulated for this proposed expansion in December 2014 and comment were • received,but Forward abandoned the project before the Final Supplemental EIR was completed. • The 2018 Expansion Project described in this Supplemental EIR is very similar to the • 2014 proposal. It has a smaller increase in permitted landfilling capacity that does not • include the any expansion of landfilling operations onto the Brocchini parcel. The • additional proposed landfill acreage is entirely within the boundary of the 567-acres • permitted under the current land use permit(UP-00-0007/ER-00-0002) approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 8, 2003. • The 2018 Expansion Project would make the following changes to the currently permitted • landfill: • • Landfilling of an 8.7-acre parcel in the northeast portion of the site within the • currently permitted landfill boundary. • 1 The 2013 FEIR estimated closure dates with and without that project of 2039 and 2021,respectively. However,2014 estimated closure dates with and without the 2012(previously proposed)project are 2045 • and 2026,respectively. • • • •
