o ' New dumps or landfills and the expansion of existing dumps or landfills are subject to FAA notification and review and are further subject to restrictions and conditions outlined in U.S. Code Title 49,Subtitle VII, Part A,Subpart iii,Chapter 447,Section 44718;40 CFR Section 258.10; FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-34A or subsequent advisory (Construction or Establishment of Landfills Near Public Airports); FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-33B or subsequent advisory, (Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports).See Appendix D. SJCOG's interpretation of the language "New dumps and landfills or the expansion of existing dumps or landfills subject to applicable law and implementing advisories" in Table 3A is that it does not indicate a blanket prohibition of these uses. Rather, it is meant to indicate the condition that these uses must adhere to all applicable law and implementing advisories. SJCOG has reviewed the FAA Advisory Circulars referenced in the footnotes. 150/5200-34A refers to new landfills,thus does not apply to this project because it is an existing landfill. 150/5200-33B recommends a separation distance of 10,000 feet between wildlife attractants and the airport operations area (AOA).The AOA is defined as any area of the airport used or intended to be used for landing,take-off,or maneuvering of aircraft. SJCOG observes that: • FAA notification and review has occurred. • The FAA issued a "Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation," indicating that the project does not constitute a "hazard to flight" in the view of the FAA. • Forward, Inc.'s plans appear to be consistent with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-33B. Specifically, all expansions of landfill operations are located more than 10,000 feet from the AOA. In light of the above observations, SJCOG's determination is that the Forward Infill Project is compatible with conditions with the adopted Stockton Metro ALUCP. Conditions of approval include, but are not limited to: • Submit finalized plans to the FAA and Caltrans Division of Aeronautics for review upon filing a development application with San Joaquin County. • Comply with all applicable law and implementing advisories as indicated in the ALUCP. SJCOG will provide a full determination on required conditions of approval upon review of the project application when submitted by San Joaquin County.
