Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page V-2 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project • No creek-relocation-related biological or water quality impacts would occur, however long-term ecological benefits of creek relocation would not be realized. • Noise, air quality, traffic, and odors impacts would be reduced by three years, from 2036 to 2033. ' • Health risk impacts associated with the expansion would be slightly reduced. • There would be no visual impacts associated with the Southern fill area. Alternative 5: Southern Fill Area Only Under this Alternative,the Southern fill area would be filled with about 4.8 million cubic ' yards of wastes, about 59% of that proposed under the proposed project.This alternative would include the existing permitted maximum truck trips (620/day) through the life of the project,with a closure date of 2034 rather than 2036 for the proposed project.Because ' the North site would not be developed as a landfill under this alternative, the existing open space on that site would remain. As with the Proposed Project and Alternative 2A, the expanded landfill would accept ' both Class II (designated) and Class III (municipal) waste. Other than the changes described above, this alternative would have the same facilities and operating procedures (other than hours of operation) as the proposed project. Impacts of this alternative would be similar to those of the proposed project except for the following: • Noise, air quality, traffic, and odors impacts would be reduced by two years, from 2036 to 2034. • Health risk impacts associated with the expansion would be slightly reduced. ' • There would be no visual impacts associated with the Northern fill area. Alternative 6: Reduced Daily Operations Alternative This Alternative is similar to the 2018 Expansion Project but would include the existing permitted maximum truck trips (620/day) only through the end of the current permit (estimated at 2030). After that time, instead of using the maximum of 620 trucks/day, this alternative would revert to the existing 233 truck trips /day. At projected fill rates, ' this alternative would have a closure date of approximately 2038 or approximately 2 years later than the 2036 closure date of the expansion project. Impacts of this alternative would be similar to those of the proposed project except for ' the following: • Noise, air quality, traffic, health risk, and odors impacts would not be increased in intensity over existing conditions, but existing landfill traffic, noise, and air pollutant emissions would extend to 2038 instead of ending in 2036.
