S Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page I1I-36 • Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project The office trailer,as shown on Figure III.0-2,would remain in this location until the easternmost cell that parallels Austin Road is constructed. At that time the office trailer would be relocated just north of WMU A, so that a sedimentation pond can be constructed in its place. The main entrance would remain in its current location,except for periods of time when refuse filling is occurring in the northeast or south infill. At these times the entrance/exit may be relocated to the north or south • landfill entrance/exit. The scales would be relocated depending on the entrance/exit being used • and would be sited in a location that allows sufficient space for queuing within the facility boundary. Once the South Fork is relocated,the existing permitted leachate/compost pond,WMU F South, would be relocated adjacent to the existing leachate pond,WMU F-North(see Figure III.0-3). The existing permitted sedimentation basin would be combined with the existing sedimentation basin located directly north of the existing leachate pond, WMU F-North(see Figure III.0-3). Closure and relocation of the leachate and sedimentation basin would be in accordance with applicable • regulations and as approved by the regulatory agencies. Continue Current Procedures and Activities Under the 2018 Expansion Project, other current Forward procedures and activities at the existing • Forward Landfill,would be continued without change. In general,procedures at the existing Forward Landfill that are appropriate to the Class II wastes currently disposed would be expanded to encompass the expanded landfill to allow disposal of Class II wastes in the entire landfill • development area. • G. OTHER RECENT AND PROPOSED PROJECTS AT THE FORWARD LANDFILL The 2013 FIR described three "recent and associated projects" of the proposed expansion: the • facility boundary revision; the Landfill Gas to Energy (LFGTE) Project; and the Revision of Waste Discharge Requirements. The facility boundary revision, approved January 6, 2011, added the 184 acres in the southwest portion of the site to the Forward Landfill facility boundary,but did not allow any landfill related activities on this parcel. The LFGTE Plant was . constructed in 2013 in the northeast portion of the landfill site, and is currently operated by Ameresco. In February 2014 the Regional Water Quality Control Board issued new Waste Discharge • Requirements (WDRs) R5-2014-0006 for the Forward Landfill which included, among other • modifications, lowering of base grades to the regulatory limit of five feet above the historical high groundwater level and the land application of cannery waste in the northern portion of the site (north of the North Fork of South Littlejohns Creek). . Since the 2013 EIR was prepared, two additional associated projects were proposed, as described below. Forward is proposing a bridge crossing on the North Fork of South Littlejohn Creek. The bridge crossing is to allow access to the existing permitted borrow area and to the cannery waste land
