Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page VIII-14 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project In all cases except particulate matter(PM10 and PM2.5),either the total concentration is less than the AAQS or the increase is less than the Significant Impact Level(SIL) for that pollutant and averaging time;therefore, impacts from those pollutants are not significant for those pollutants.Consistent with the analysis in the DSEIR,the revised modeling found that without mitigation the particulate matter impacts(PM10 and PM25) t would contribute to an existing non-attainment status in the region. In coordination with the Air District staff,the Voluntary Emissions Reduction ' Agreement(VERA)language Mitigation Measure D.2b has been revised and other mitigation options added to Mitigation Measure D.2b on Page IV.D-21 of the DSEIR as shown below.This revised measure assures that the project impacts would be less than significant. As described in Impact IV.D-5, the cumulative impact to ozone precursors and PM10 would still be significant and unavoidable. Mitigation Measure D.2b. ( Revises 2013 FEIR Mitigation Measure D.2b.): The applieant shall enter into a Voluntary Emissiong Reductia Agreement (VERA)with the SJ;'APG9 (to offset th-rmitigated ffiabile fugitive dust emission impaets). The VERA 9hall eaver mabile emissions a"d -ate RPo4assoeiated with the 8.4 mey of new eapaeity. On-site Particulate Emission AAOS 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 the 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" PM10 or PMS 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 PM, , and PMS to a less than significant impact utilizing either the STVAPCD's"net-zero"mitigation approach or pollutant by pollutant 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 qualitypact 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).
