Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.E-4 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project ' VOCs, implement source control to prevent VOCs from migrating past the landfill point of compliance,enhance the facility's landfill gas and groundwater monitoring programs, and submit quarterly progress reports. Subsequent to the 2008 CAO, Forward Landfill began its efforts to comply with the 2008 CAO by addressing the requirement to provide replacement water for the California Youth Authority ' Facility,which was done by extending the City of Stockton's drinking water supply line to the facility. Forward Landfill also supplies bottled water to Newcastle residents and the City supplies bottled water to residents on Austin Road near the landfill. Forward Landfill also implemented an evaluation monitoring program in which numerous wells were installed and with regard to source control and remedial actions, installed an additional groundwater extraction well and multiple landfill gas extraction wells between 2008 and 2011. In 2017,the RWQCB issued CAO R5-2017-07036(the 2017 CAO)to Forward Landfill. The 2017 CAO rescinded the 2008 CAO except for enforcement purposes related to groundwater monitoring. The 2017 CAO summarizes Forward Landfill's efforts to date to define the vertical and lateral extent of release from the landfill, as well as the installation of corrective action systems to control and capture the migration of contaminates.The 2017 CAO requires additional investigation to fully delineate the vertical and lateral extent of the VOC plume present and the installation of enhanced corrective action measures such that no VOCs will be present in the groundwater beyond the landfill boundaries. In summary, the 2018 CAO requires Forward Landfill to enhance its groundwater treatment system and also requires the landfill to address violations associated with over-loading of nitrogen to the cannery waste land application area. The proposed landfill expansion requires a JTD describing operational and monitoring practices be submitted to the RWQCB and CalRecyle for approval. The proposed programs for segregation, special handling, and screening procedures of hazardous materials are summarized in the Project Description and also will be presented in detail in the JTD. As described in the Project Description, these programs are already in place for the current Forward Landfill, and would be continued in the proposed expanded landfill. The San Joaquin County General Plan incorporates public health and safety considerations into the community's long-term planning. The portions of the General Plan relevant to hazardous materials are C.Fire Safety and Law Enforcement and E. Hazardous Materials and Wastes, under V. Public Health and Safety of Volume 1:Policies/Implementation. Existing Receptors The project area is agricultural and sparsely populated. The nearest residence is located at 9690 Austin Road and is approximately 150 feet from the main landfill entrance gate. It is located across Austin Road from the entrance facilities area and is uninhabited. Adjacent land uses include agricultural lands to the east,west, and south(See Figure IV.A-1 in the Land Use ' 6 California Regional Water Quality Control Board Central Valley Region,Cleanup and Abatement Order R5-2017- 0703 For Forward Inc.and Republic Services,Inc.,Forward Landfill San Joaquin County.April 10,2017.
