• Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.A-29 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project Mitigation Measure A.S. Shield Landfill Lighting. (Same As 2013 EIR Mitigation A.5): The project sponsor shall include downward shielding of new landfill lighting, and shall abide by any reasonable and feasible measures or regulations the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) • and Stockton Metropolitan Airport have to mitigate lighting impacts that could be cause by the • proposed project, including reducing or eliminating lighting during foggy conditions and concurrently suspending operations that depend on the lighting. a The Conditions of Approval for the proposed project shall include the requirement that the • project sponsor,prior to construction, file a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration • (Form 7460-1) with the Federal Aviation Administration. Mitigation Measure K4 (2013 EIR) also applies to night lighting impacts. • Impact A.6: Potential conflicts with nearby land uses (Revises 2013 EIR Impact A.6). Because ` the existing Forward Landfill is currently in operation and there are no sensitive residential receptors near the major proposed expansion area, it is not anticipated that the proposed landfill expansion project would generate significant new land use conflicts with the existing • adjacent and nearby land uses. The recently constructed California Health Care Facility • (located west of Austin Road between the Forward Landfill and Arch Road), the recently constructed Northern California Re-Entry Facility and renovation of the adjacent Dewitt-Nelson Youth Correctional Facility (both located on the south side of Arch Road between Austin and • Newcastle Roads), the approved Arch Road Industrial Project (located on the south side of Arch • Road between Austin and Newcastle Roads, west of the Northern California Re-Entry Facility), the approved Archtown Industrial Project, at the southwest corner of Arch and Newcastle Roads, and the approved and partially constructed NorCal Logistics Center(formerly known as "Opus Logistics Center") (located northwest of the intersection of Arch and Austin Roads) (see Surrounding and Nearby Land Uses, above) all consist or would consist of non-residential uses, . which are not incompatible with the proposed project. The approved Tidewater Crossing residential project, located west of Highway 99 and north of French Camp Road, adjacent to the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, is approximately one mile west of the project site. The western • portion of the existing Forward Landfill is closer to Tidewater Crossing than are the two portions of the proposed 2018 expansion project. Therefore, the 2018 Expansion Project would 40 • not create any significant land use conflicts with these future land uses. IR The Project could create conflicts with the Stockton Metropolitan Airport due to the potential of • the expansion to attract birds that may pose an aircraft hazard. As discussed in Surrounding • and Nearby Land Uses, the landfill's bird control program has been effective at preventing gulls from feeding at, or otherwise using,the Forward Landfill. (Davis, 2017). Mitigation Measure AA, above, stipulates continuation of this gull control program, as well as implementation of • appropriate control measures recommended by USDA Wildlife Services. As discussed under • Impact A.3, above,the 2018 Expansion Project would comply with the Federal Aviation • Regulation Part 77 height restrictions for structures in the vicinity, requirements for notification of the airport and FAA, and requirements that the project sponsor demonstrate that the project would not pose a bird hazard to aircraft. Therefore, the proposed landfill expansion would not increase land use conflicts with the airport and the impact would be less-than-significant.
