Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page VIII-15 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project 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 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" NOx,PMJ 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 NOx, PM,o, and PM1,to a less than si ifgn icant 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 Countyapproves a revised air quality impact assessment(in consultation with STVAPCD) for the Proiect'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). B-6. Truck and equipment emissions were initially modeled as a large single source of emissions across the site. SJVAPCD comments indicated that it would be more appropriate to model the emissions as a series of volume emission sources with point sources located at the scalehouse and at a representative waste-placement area,so the truck emissions have been re-modeled as requestedThe truck emissions have been re- modeled as a series of volume emission sources with point sources located at the scalehouse and at a representative waste-placement area.The HRA results are presented below in Table 2,below.The estimated impact dropped slightly from four to three cancer occurrences per million persons at the nearest occupied receptor.There were slight increases in the Chronic Hazard Maximum risk(from 0.00016 to 0.0056)and the Acute Hazard Maximum risk(from 0.0117 to 0.013). Page IV.E-17 of the DSEIR has been revised as follows (additions underlined, deletions in ): The incremental carcinogenic risk(increase in cancer risk from the Current Actual to the Project scenario Landfill Gas Flare)is estimated to be four three cancer occurrences per million persons at the nearest occupied receptor.This
