Forward Inc. Landfill Expansion Project MMRP ' <br /> testing events shall be initiated by the applicant in coordination with the RWQCB to detect an <br /> changes in water quality that may signer subsurface adjustments in landfill cells. <br /> 73. Forward 1993(B.6) <br /> Benchmarks shall be established(these could utilize monitoring well top of casing <br /> elevations), which will allow for determinations of settlement/consolidation of fill materials ' <br /> in closed sections of the landfill on an annual basis and following significant seismic events <br /> (Modified Mercalli Scale of V or above). In the event that changes are noted, the cause ' <br /> should be determined as should the effect on leachate collection and recovery systems. <br /> Repair liners and LCRS as necessary. In addition, remedial grading should be accomplished <br /> to restore the original cap's function to repel water and direct surface runoff. <br /> H. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES ' <br /> 74. (F.1.)Identified in this SEIR: ' <br /> Prior to site grading,the project sponsor shall obtain re-verification of the jurisdictional <br /> delineation conducted for the project;this will ascertain the extent of jurisdictional waters and <br /> wetlands on the site,including the creek and potentially onsite storm control features (detention <br /> basins,dry ditches). The re-verified jurisdictional delineation will serve to confirm the acreage of <br /> jurisdictional area to be impacted and for which mitigation will be provided. Prior to site <br /> grading,the project sponsor shall obtain permits under Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water <br /> Act and Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code for all impacts to jurisdictional 1 <br /> resources; all permit conditions shall be implemented. At a minimum,an equivalent acreage of <br /> jurisdictional area to be impacted shall be established within the relocated segment of the South <br /> Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohn's Creek(1:1 in-kind replacement of jurisdictional habitats <br /> impacted by the creek relocation), and if required by permit conditions, additional compensatory <br /> mitigation will be purchased from an USACE,RWQCB and/or CDFW-approved wetland <br /> mitigation bank. These mitigation components are discussed further below. <br /> Onsite Replacement of Jurisdictional Habitat <br /> A Creek Channel Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall be prepared and submitted for agency <br /> review to ensure a"no net loss"of wildlife value or acreage of creek habitat. At a minimum,the <br /> Plan shall include the creation of the equivalent(in-kind)acreage of jurisdictional habitat within <br /> the relocated segment of the South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohn's Creek. The Concept <br /> Design Report(Questa 2017)indicates that approximately 1.87 acres of creek habitat would be <br /> created in the longer,relocated creek channel, so an increase in jurisdictional habitat(1.87 acres <br /> vs. 1.25 acres)is anticipated. The Project Sponsor shall ensure that the mitigation area,along <br /> with an appropriate upland buffer, are preserved in perpetuity via recordation of a deed restriction <br /> or similar easement. <br /> The Creek Channel Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall include the following details: ' <br /> • The location(s)of mitigation areas,including the types and extent of each habitat type to be <br /> created. <br /> • Mitigation for loss of existing jurisdictional habitat shall at a minimum include the creation of ' <br /> equivalent acreage of jurisdictional habitat present within the channel(as determined by the <br /> re-verified jurisdictional delineation). Mitigation habitats shall replace the existing functions <br /> and services provided by the impacted channel. <br /> • All graded areas within the habitat restoration area shall be seeded with appropriate mixes of ' <br /> California native grass and forb species, developed by a qualified restoration ecologist. <br /> 1 <br /> Page 22 <br />
