Clean San Joaquin has followed closely the County's processing of the applicant's proposals to <br /> expand the landfill. To this end,it commented extensively during the applicant's 2012 proposal to expand the <br /> landfill.In 2014,it also commented on the NOP for a landfill expansion project. <br /> Although the applicant now proposes a reduced disposal footprint in comparison to the 2012 <br /> proposal,it is clear that the current project would result in extensive environmental harm. Indeed,the County <br /> anticipates providing supplemental analysis for many,if not all,of the same environmental impact categories <br /> that were included in the 2012 EIR.Consequently,inasmuch as we anticipate similar issues to accompany the ' <br /> applicant's current proposal,we recommend the County review our April 6,2012 letter on the prior NOP. <br /> This letter is attached and is hereby incorporated by reference.Our August 12,2014 letter to the County is <br /> also attached. <br /> Please keep me informed of all notices,hearings,staff reports,briefings,meetings, <br /> and other events related to the proposed Project. In addition, please notify me of the release of the draft <br /> supplemental EIR for the proposed landfill expansion project. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> SHUTE,MIHALY&WEINBERGER LLP <br /> Laurel L.Impett,AICP,Urban Planner <br /> Exhibits: <br /> Letter from L.Impett to John Funderburg,April 6,2012 <br /> Letter from L.Impett to John Funderburg,August 12,2014 <br /> cc: Jeannie and Michael LaForge <br />
