Forward Inc. Landfill Expansion Project MMRP Regional Criteria Pollutants Emission Mitigation The applicant shall implement one or a combination of the following options to reduce air quality emissions below the thresholds. (a)Limit future truck trips to an annual average of 233 truck trips per day. Currently the baseline truck trips are 233 trips per day and the permitted limit is 640 trips per day. Maintaining the annual average track trips at 233 trips per day would mean there are no "increased"NOx, PM,o,or PM2.5 emissions because of the Project. The proposed Project would not increase truck traffic at the landfill over the current baseline. (b)The applicant shall enter into a Voluntary Emissions Reduction Agreement(VERA)with SJVAPCD to mitigate the Project's mobile related emissions for NOx,PM,o, and PM2.5 to a less than significant impact utilizing either the SJVAPCD's"net-zero"mitigation approach or pollutant by pollutant mitigation approach.The applicant shall execute such VERA prior to the start of the proposed Project(i.e.,landfill expansion up to 8.1 racy of new capacity). The VERA shall use the estimated emissions above the significance thresholds in this SEIR as the emissions to be reduced,unless operator provides and San Joaquin County approves a revised air quality impact assessment(in consultation with SJVAPCD)for the Project's future actual emissions(annually)instead of the estimated emissions in this SEIR. (c)Pave roads as necessary to reduce PM emissions above current actual baseline levels from the operation of the new 8.1 MCY waste disposal area(from increased truck trips). 22. (D.3) Identified in this SEIR(Same as 2013 FEIR Mitigation Measure D.4): To reduce the potential for any off-site odor impacts,the Odor Control Management Plan for Forward Landfill shall be modified to include daily management odor inspections when cannery wastes are being processed. 23. (DA)Identified in This EIR(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 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. 24. Forward 2002(D.2) - The project sponsor shall mitigate any significant future ROG increase by developing gas wells within the Forward Landfill sufficient to achieve a recovery rate of 100-200 cfm of LFG from the Forward Landfill. The gas wells shall be integrated into the consolidated facility collection/disposal system. To maintain a less-than-significant ROG increase from existing conditions, a small LFG collection system shall be installed at the currently uncontrolled Page 11
