• Relocate approximately 2,900 feet of the South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohns Creek (which currently traverses the landfill) to the southeastern boundaries of the site to provide additional separation of the creek from the landfill. The relocated creek would be 3,300 feet in length. ' • Add a bridge crossing on the east side of the South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohn's Creek Previous Protect(History) In 2012 Forward proposed a previous expansion project of the landfilling operations onto an adjoining 184.0 acre parcel. This parcel was located within closer proximity to the Stockton Metropolitan Airport than the currently proposed expansion project area, and required a four-fifths vote of the Board of Supervisors to override the County Airport Land Use Commission finding that this proposed expansion project was not in conformity with the 1993 San Joaquin County Airport Land Use Plan. This former project failed to achieve the required four-fifth override vote of the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors did vote, however, to certify the Forward Landfill Expansion Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) as having been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (GC 15151) and adequate for use for decision- making purposes. In 2014 a new project area for development was proposed within the permitted landfill area and ' did not include the previously proposed horizontal expansion of landfilling operations onto the adjacent 184.0 acre parcel and no cancellation of the Williamson Act Contract. As determined by the Environmental Review officer a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report(SEIR)was to be prepared to review any potentially significant impacts. On March 27, 2015 the applicant "Forward ' Inc." requested that the Community Development Department place the proposed 2014 project on hold. The applicant "Forward Inc." has requested that the previous project request be reinitiated and is ' proposing an infill development project of 17.3 acres. As determined by the Environmental Review Officer a new SEIR will be prepared to review any potentially significant impacts. The additional acreage (17.3 acres) being proposed is within the boundary of the 567-acres ' permitted under UP-00-0007. Additionally, the project area being proposed is not under a Williamson Act Contract and will not include landfilling operations onto the adjacent 184.0 acre parcel previously proposed in 2012. Location The project site is located on the west side of Austin Road, 112 mile north of Lynch Road, north of ' Manteca. Environmental Issues to be discussed in the SEIR 1. Land Use. Potential effects of the landfill expansion on local land uses, including potential bird hazards for the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, to an industrial use, and night lighting will be assessed. ' 2. Traffic. Traffic analysis will be provided relative to vehicle traffic at the entry location, and the intersections of Austin Road at Mariposa Road,Arch Road, and French Camp Road. 3. Noise. Noise generated at the site will be evaluated relative to the impact on nearby residences and compliance with the County noise ordinance. 4. Air Quality/Odors. The SEIR will assess the public health consequences from potential i chronic, acute, or accidental release of designated hazardous wastes into the air from the proposed expansion of the disposal footprint. 2
