Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page VIII-99 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project ' Staff-Initiated Text Changes and Errata The following substantive changes have been initiated by staff. Other,minor changes are made directly in the FEIR text, and indicated with underlining for inserts and strike- through font for deletions. Project Description Figures III.0-2 and III.0-7 have been revised to correct minor errors and omissions. Air Quality Changes on page IV.D-19 Mitigation Measure D.1. (Same as 2013 EIR Mitigation Measure D.1.): • Require construction equipment used at the site to be equipped with ' catalysts/particulate traps, or Tier 4 diesel engines to reduce particulate emissions. Currently,CARB has verified a limited number of these devices for installation in several diesel engine families to reduce particulate emissions.At the time bids are made, contractors must show that the diesel-fueled construction equipment used is equipped with particulate filters,catalysts,or Tier 4 diesel engines, or prove why it is infeasible. Changes on page IV.D-29 ' Mitigation Measure DA. (Same as 2013 EIR Mitigation Measure D.5.): Both the Flare and LFG engine options would require feasible mitigation measures to further reduce GHG emissions. The landfill operators shall annually report GHG emissions from the project(actual operations)to the County and SJVAPCD. If the increase in operational emissions projeet operations exceeds 25,000 metric tons of CO2e per year by 2020,then the landfill shall purchase verifiable GHG credits to offset the remaining project ' emissions above 25,000 metric tons of CO2e per year. Additional GHG credits shall be purchased every five years if the annual reports indicate that the credits have not offset excess GHG emissions(those above 25,000 metric tons of CO2e per year)in the prior five years. The purchase of the verifiable GHG credits'would reduce the impact to a level that is less than significant. 'A carbon credit or carbon offset is a credit for GHG emissions reduced or removed from the atmosphere from an emissions reduction project,which can be used,by governments,industry or private individuals to compensate for the emissions they are generating.California's long-term GHG reductions goals in existing laws/regulations such as E.O.S-3-05,E.O.B-30-15,and S.B.32 ensure carbon credits will be available in 2020 and beyond. i
