Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page VIII-95 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project L-13. The comment states that the proposed project would be inconsistent with the County's General Plan Policies regarding odor,litter impacts on adjacent agricultural operations, and a significant history of traffic collisions. The Commenter does not cite to any specific evidence of the claimed history of such impacts.The heading in the Commenter's letter also refers to an alleged incompatibility with the County Airport Land Use Plan. The DSEIR includes an analysis of potential bird strike hazards on pages IV.A-24 through IV.A-28. Implementation of the procedures to discourage and monitor bird populations and comply with regulatory requirements related to bird hazards that ' are proposed as part of the project,along with Mitigation Measure A.4, would reduce bird hazard impacts to a less-than-significant level. As discussed in Response F-2, the staff of the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG)has stated that Mitigation ' Measure A-4 addresses concern regarding wildlife hazards. Further, SJCOG which administers the County Airport Land Use Plan has found that the Project would be consistent with the ALUP(see SJCOG Response Letter dated 11/2/18).For these reasons,the proposed project would be consistent with airport operations, and would be consistent with Policy TM-8.5. Odor impacts of the proposed project are discussed on pages IV.D-23 through IV.D-26. With implementation of Mitigation Measure D.3,odor impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. As discussed in Response J-8, litter impacts,with implementation of procedures proposed as part of the project and mitigation measures identified in the DSEIR, as modified in Response J-8,would be less than significant. As discussed in Impact B.3, page IV.B-16 of the DSEIR, project impacts on potential traffic collisions would be less than significant. L-14. As discussed on pages IV.A-24 through IV.A-28 of the DSEIR,implementation of measures that are proposed as part of the project, along with Mitigation Measure A.4, would reduce bird hazard impacts to a less-than-significant level. The proposed project would not endanger future operations at Stockton Metropolitan Airport. As discussed in Response J-8, litter impacts,with implementation of procedures proposed as part of the project and mitigation measures identified in the DSEIR, as modified in Response J-8, would be less than significant. Impacts to groundwater quality are considered in Impacts G.3 and G.4, on pages IV.G- p g 19 and IV.G-20, and Impact G.6, on page IV.G-21 and IV.G-22.With implementation of ' procedures proposed as part of the project identified in the DSEIR,the proposed 2018 Expansion Project would have a less than-than-significant impact on water quality. The desirability of disposing waste originating out-of-county at the Forward Landfill is not an environmental impact of the proposed project, and is therefore not required by
