1 Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.D-22 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Revised Project (b)The applicant shall enter into a Voluntary Emissions Reduction Agreement(VERA)with STVAPCD to mitigate the Project's mobile related emissions for PM,o, and PM_5 to a less ' than significant impact utilizing either the STVAPCD's "net-zero" mitigation approach or pollutant by pollutant mitigation approach The aRplicant shall execute such VERA prior to the start of the proposed Project(i.e., landfill expansion up to 8.1 mcy of new ca aci The VERA shall use the estimated emissions above the significance thresholds in this SEIR as the emissions to be reduced, unless operator provides and San Toaquin County approves a revised air quality impact assessment(in consultation with STVAPCD) for the Project's future actual emissions(annually) instead of the estimated emissions in this SEIR. (c) Pave roads as necessary to reduce PM emissions above current actual baseline levels from the operation of the new 8.1 MCY waste disposal area (from increased truck trips). Regional Criteria Pollutants Emission Mitigation The applicant shall implement one or a combination of the following options to reduce air quality emissions below the thresholds. (a)Limit future truck trips to an annual average of 233 truck trips per day. Currently baseline truck trips are 233 trips per day and the permitted limit is 640 trips per day. Maintaining the annual average truck trips at 233 trips per day would mean there are no "increased" NOx, PM,o, or PM_,emissions because of the Project.The proposed Project would not increase truck traffic at the landfill over the current baseline. (b)The applicant shall enter into a Voluntary Emissions Reduction Agreement(VERA)with STVAPCD to mitigate the Project's mobile related emissions for NOx, PM,o, and PM_5 to ' a less than significant impact utilizing either the STVAPCD's "net-zero" mitigation approach or pollutant by Rollutant mitigation approach.The applicant shall execute such VERA prior to the start of the proposed Project(i.e.,landfill expansion up to 8.1 mcy of new capacity). The VERA shall use the estimated emissions above the significance thresholds in this SEIR as the emissions to be reduced,unless operator provides and San Toaquin County approves a revised air quality impact assessment(in consultation with STVAPCD)for the Project's future actual emissions(annually)instead of the estimated emissions in this SEIR. (c)Pave roads as necessary to reduce PM emissions above current actual baseline levels from the operation of the new 8.1 MCY waste disposal area (from increased truck trips). Impact D.3. Odor and Visible Dust Impacts (Same as 2013 EIR Impact D.4.) As bacterial decomposition proceeds,odoriferous compounds can escape from the landfill surface through cracks in the surface cover. Other possible sources of odors are the actual wastes.Some household and consumer products contain substances with distinctive odors. The major contribution to odors comes from two groups of compounds: the first group is dominated by esters and organosulfurs, and the second group consists of alkyl benzenes and limonene.
