• • Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.A-18 • Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project • between the 2013 EIR and this document, the heading for each impact or mitigation measure • reflects whether that impact is the same, revised, or replaced. For example, the heading for • Impact A.1 is "Impact A.1: Compliance with County Plans and Policies. (Revises 2013 EIR Impact A.1)";the heading for Impact A.5 is "Impact A.5 Night lighting at the proposed project • could interfere with airport landing lights. (Same As 2013 EIR Impact A.5)". • Impact A.1: Compliance with County Plans and Policies. (Revises 2013 EIR Impact A.1) Project-related policy conflicts and inconsistencies do not, in and of themselves, constitute a significant environmental impact and are considered to be environmental impacts only when • they would result in direct physical effects,which this EIR identifies pursuant to CEQA. All • associated physical impacts of the proposed project are discussed in this EIR in specific topical sections of the following Chapter IV Environmental Setting,Impacts, and Mitigation Measures. • • Zone Classification • The entire project site has a zone classification of AG-40. As discussed in Setting,County of San • Joaquin General Plan and Zoning, Zone Classification, above, landfills are a conditionally permitted use in AG-40 zone subject to a Use Permit. Thus, the proposed project would be • consistent with the County of San Joaquin AG-40 zone classification, if a new or revised Use Permit is granted. • • General Plan Designations • As discussed in Setting, above, the General Plan designates the northern portion of the existing • Forward Landfill (north of the original alignment of the North Fork of South Littlejohns Creek) as A/UR (Agriculture-Urban Reserve), and the southern portion of the existing Landfill as • A/G (Agricultural, General). The proposed realignment of the South Fork of South Littlejohns • Creek would require compliance with state and federal regulations, including approvals from the California Department of Fish and Game(CDFG), the RWQCB, the U.S. Army Corps of • Engineers (USACE) for compliance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Central Valley • Flood Protection Board, the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, • and the California Department of Water Resources. (See F. Vegetation and Wildlife, Impact F-1. • Filling of Waters of the U.S./Waters of the State, for additional discussion of these approvals.) As part of the approval process, California Public Resource Code Section 50000 requires the County to make a finding that a proposed facility is consistent with the County General Plan . and its objectives,policies and implementation measures. This finding can be made because the • proposed landfill modifications are consistent with the A/G (Agricultural, General) and A/UR (Agriculture—Urban Reserve) designations of the site. The project is consistent with the • Program of the General Plan relative to solid waste (see Setting, General Plan Policies,above). • The project is consistent with the General Plan Objective and Implementation Program relative • to Agricultural Land. The project is consistent with General Plan Fire Safety Goal and Policies. • The project is consistent with General Plan Airport Safety Goal and Policies. The project is consistent with the General Plan's Hazardous Materials and Wastes Goal and Policies. The • project is also consistent with the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan and the San • Joaquin Multiple Species Conservation and Open Space Plan (Funderburg,pers. com. 2018). • • • • •
