• • • Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.G-4 • Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project Industrial General Storm Water Permit Order No. 2014-0057-DWQ also may apply. Additional regulatory oversight that could relate to groundwater resources may come from the California • Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the San Joaquin County Public Health • Services (SJCPHS), or the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). • The RWQCB is now structured to promote a watershed-based approach toward • implementation of programs, with particular emphasis on integration of programs within • county watershed management areas.The RWQCB issued WDRs for both the Austin Road • Landfill and the Forward Landfill. The current Central Valley RWQCB WDR Order No. R5- 2003-0049 and R5-2003-0080 (Monitoring and Reporting Program and Groundwater Treatment • System, NPDES No. CA0082911) covers the operation of the Forward Landfill (combined • Forward and former Austin Road Landfills) and Discharge of Treated Groundwater(former • Austin Road Landfill), respectively. • The RWQCB provides oversight for the protection of surface water and groundwater resources • that could be compromised by the landfill operations over time by requiring (as part of the • WDRs) the monitoring, sampling, analyses, and reporting of surface water and groundwater. • The RWQCB is currently in the process of reviewing the various reports and communication in 2018 has included conditional approval of the well closures and requests for addressing water • quality violations. All proposed changes to landfill operations and monitoring that affect • groundwater or surface water such as, modifying the groundwater treatment system, changes • to the landfill gas collection system, surface water(South Littlejohns Creek) modification as proposed for the South Branch of South Littlejohns Creek, definition of groundwater volatile • organic compound (VOC) impacts, and new monitoring locations to replace existing wells • proposed to be closed during project implementation, are reviewed by the RWQCB. With or • without the proposed project, the RWQCB will continue to regulate the Forward Landfill. This • oversight continues after the landfill is closed for a minimum post-closure period of 30-years. • San Joaquin County • The San Joaquin County General Plan has no specific groundwater protection element,but a • number of policies in Public Health and Safety element of the General Plan describe the need • for protection of water quality. In addition, as described above, the San Joaquin County Public • Health Services (SJCPHS)has additional regulatory oversight that could relate to groundwater • resources.
