Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page VIII-70 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project The commenter provides no examples of any farmers losing their ability to sell to buyers due to litter observations. The proposed additional litter mitigation measures described in response to comment J-8 should assure that litter reaching the agricultural lands near the landfill would be controlled such that it would not create a food safety issue. J YP pose -8. The currently proposed Project eliminates the waste disposal previously proposed Project for the Brocchini property. However,it would expand the existing landfill area in the northeast and south of the existing facility;therefore, the potential for off-site litter generation would continue, although over a shorter landfill life compared to the 2013 Project. The Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) for the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) in San Joaquin County is the Environmental Health Department,which makes monthly inspections of the Forward Landfill,using a checklist containing various conditions that include "Litter Control". Reports of the monthly inspections for the Forward Landfill are available to the public on the website of CalRecycle.1 No Violations or Areas of Concern regarding litter control were reported in the monthly inspections for 2018,the most recently available of which was conducted on October 18,2018. Litter is generally acknowledged as an aesthetic issue and this is discussed on page IV.H-5 of the Draft SEIR. The Draft SEIR(page IV.H-5)states that the conclusions of the 2013 EIR that litter impacts,with implementation of mitigation measures identified in the Draft SEIR,would be less than significant. Therefore, 2013 EIR's Impacts K-1 through K-7 would continue to apply to the currently proposed Project. All measures identified in the 2013 EIR as Proposed as Part of the Project would be included in the current Project, except as noted below. In addition, Forward proposes to implement the following additional measures to enhance litter collection in the Forward Landfill vicinity: 1) Forward will fund signage along Austin,Arch, and French Camp Roads stating that all disposal site traffic loads shall be covered in accordance with Vehicle Code 23115(a). 2) A 24-hour Litter hotline will be established. 3) A Litter Control Manager position will be created. The Litter Control Manager will be responsible for periodic inspection of loads for tarping,issuing notifications to vehicles for non-compliance with tarping procedures, and responding to and addressing litter complaints. 4) Additional portable litter fencing will be purchased to enhance the existing portable litter fences used at the active face.
