• Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page III-37 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project • application area,both of which are located north of the creek. The operational need for the north • bridge is independent of the proposed expansion. Ameresco is proposing an upgrade to the existing LFGTE facility at the Forward Landfill to meet • PG&E's Rule 21 pipeline quality requirements for renewable natural gas from landfill gas.The • process would treat gas that is compressed to around 100 to 200 psig. The process would • remove CO2, N2, 02 and other trace constituents to increase the quality of the landfill gas. It is currently anticipated that the equipment required for this upgrade process would be located in the region of the former Covanta LFGTE plant, which was located near the western property • boundary just south of the realigned north creek. The LFGTE upgrade also would involve a • buried pipeline extending west of the landfill site to connect with an existing PG&E gas pipeline. The operational need for the LFGTE upgrade is independent of the proposed landfill expansion. The on-landfill LFGTE plant upgrade and mostly off-landfill pipeline would be subject to separate CEQA review by the County. H. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND PERMITS The existing Forward Landfill operates under a variety of permits issued by local, state, and • federal governing agencies. These permits are identified in Table III.0-2 of the 2013 EIR • (reproduced below), and have not changed since the 2013 EIR was prepared. The 2018 Expansion Project would require modifications to the following permits, which are • described on pages III-34 and III-35 of the 2013 EIR: • Solid Waste Facilities Permits (SWFPs) for the landfill and the resource recovery facility i (RRF) issued by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery • (CalRecycle) and San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department"; • • NPDES permit and Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for landfill operation and • land application of treated groundwater issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB); • Permit to Operate issued by the San Joaquin County Unified Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJCUVAPCD); • Land Use Permit issued by San Joaquin County;and, • • Manteca-Lathrop Fire Department general permit.
