Cbeslcr <br /> EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), acting as the Airport Land Use Commission <br /> Member Agencies (ALUC), has reviewed a Notice of Preparation (NOP) application for a supplemental <br /> CITIES OF environmental impact report to increase the disposal footprint of the Forward Landfill from <br /> ESCAIATHROOP, approximately 355 acres to 372.3 acres east of Austin Road, north of French Camp Road, <br /> L <br /> LA <br /> LODIDI. Stockton. <br /> MANTECA, <br /> RIPON, AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISION'S REVIEW <br /> STOCKTON, <br /> TRACY, Forward Inc. previously submitted that indicated the following expansion plans: <br /> AND <br /> THE COUNTY OF <br /> SAN JOAQUIN "The proposed development plans for the landfill include two areas within the currently <br /> permitted landfill boundary, as shown on the attached figure;approximately 8.7-acres in the <br /> northeast corner of the site and approximately 8.6-acres in the south area. The acreage added <br /> in the south area is gained by shifting the existing disposal footprint north and realigning the <br /> existing creek to the southern and eastern boundaries of the site. The maximum elevation of <br /> refuse fill in the additional development areas would be approximately 190 feet above mean sea <br /> level(MSL), lower than the currently permitted existing Forward Landfill maximum height of 210 <br /> feet MSL. Both landfill development areas are greater than 10,000 ft from the end of the <br /> nearest runway(11L/29R)and airport operations area." <br /> In addition, Forward, Inc. submitted plans to the Federal Aviation Administration and received a <br /> "Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation" in response. <br /> Table 3A,Safety Zone Matrix,states the following under"Prohibited Uses"for Zone 7A: <br /> • Hazards to flight' <br /> o 'Hazards to flight include physical (e.g.,tall objects),visual, and electronic <br /> forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations.
